CAPTAIN MABAS's LETTER.

We are willing to accept Captain A. 7.

His contributions 10 naval history and af-
fairs are voluminous and withal meritorl-
Gus. To this sphere OF influence he may
be said to be indigenous, but when he quits
II 10 advise his countrymen as to how
they should conduct themselves with re-
spect TO tho British South African war.
the erudite and busy captain may be ac-
cepted as persona non grata.
We would not mercilessiy impose a curb
on the prolix pen OF this gentleman Of the
navy. stung to "perpicious activity" by an
everlasting gadhy. but II might be we'll
enough TO advise him that his country
men. In the matter OF expressing their
sentiments on the South African war, can
get along without his suggestions. This
is particularly true since the solicitous
captain seems TO be disturbed at the pros
poets OF some criticisms being worked off.
In the heat of public meetings, that may
hereafter rise to plague the government
in It's diplomatic relations with the United
Kingdom
A people who hang back from an honest
expression OF opinion under the perpetual
fear of giving ofiense to q supersensitivc
nation. lacks the elements OF native
strength and conviction, without which no
people can be truly great.
1t is natural. and argues the existence OF
national conscience moving in a whole
some direction. for the American Republic
to vigorously and substantially sympathlze
with the Beers. Should the American peo-
pie acqulesce in British designs In South
Africa or refuse to extend 10 the sturdy
defenders OF republics reared upon lands
reclaimed to civilization by their tremen-
dous daring and patient toll the stimulus OF
encouragement and admiration, they
would ignore the basic principle upon
which rests the American Republic and
upon the preservation OF which must de-
pend lts future glory
No thing more than the manifest dis
position OF official Washington to pander
10 British sentiment and to ape the poll
cies Of royalty. threatens the dignity OF
American public life or the independence
and individual initiative OF American
character, The strong and thoughtful ex-
pressions OF sympathy for tho Beers,
grounded as they are in courageous con-
ception Of the significance and merits of
their audacious and lion-like struggle with
the most arrogant and insolent power OH
earth, will serve TO rebuke an administra-
ton with conscience obscured by tho daz-
cling dream of empire and the pageantry
Of foreign courts to the real mission aud
duty of this people and their government
Captain Mahau need not be unduly exer-
cised. American public sentiment approves
the Boer cause and will express itself in
bold terms. Meanwhile, as in the case of
church and state. It will insist on tho
divorce of army and navy from affairs OF
state. since they are but machines con-
structed and sustained by the Nation with
no mission save to do the Nations bid
ding.
