Auti-Boer Americans,

To THE EDITOR OF The SCN-Sir' desire
TO enter a protest in the name OF a not incon-
siderable body of Americans whose sympathies
are entirely with Great Britain in the present
struggle in South Africa and who. fortunately
for themselves. have not n drop of Dutch blood
In their veins to prejudice them informing their
opinion as to the justice Of the cause Of the two
contestants. The general tone of your most
value paper would lead your readers to be-
lieve that the unanimous sentiment Of the
country was In favor Of the Boer republics in
the present struggle. Having a large ac-
uuaintance among and mingling with business
men to a very great extent. ] find that thinking
Americans conservative business and profess
sional men who do not like TO come before the
public, but who make up n great part Of the
men who are responsible for the success of the
country syInpathize entirely with E~nglandand
40 not hesitate to express their views.
As an example of this sentiment, I would
state that this subject was brought up recently
among a party OF six gentlemen (who had come
together by aCcident) whose ancestors had
settled in this country previous 10 1880 and
there was not a man among them who would
not he willing to make any sacrifice in his
power for the good OF hs country. These
gentlemen represent several different kinds Of
business and professional life. also both politi-
cal factions. they are intelligent, educated men,
capable OF judging the subject dispas.ionateIv
from the evidence presented by both sides, and
not one Of them sympathized with the Beers in
their fight for so-called Independence. This is
only one Of many Ike instances that I could

Baseball.

Our esteemed contemporary the fndidr-

the baseball game on Monday was not what

Naturally when the public wants to see

ball field and goes TO the prize ring, where
are the veritable champions.
Not every League game by any means re-

ball knows when he goes TO see one that
flsticuffs are possible. and the seed OF disor-

authority Of the umpire. is met with almost
every time.

What VIII the French Academy Think?

Where was that fine old scholar and con-
servator of good English, the Hon. GEORGE
FRIsBrE HoAR. when the Joint resolution
respecting the unveiling Of the lafayette
statue AZ Paris next Fourth Of July passed
the Foreign Relations Committee and the
Senate1
"Tha, the people Of the United States artfei pat.
and appreciate this ceremony with feelings O, the
creates, satisfaction" &C,
Anticipate - in the sense Of expecting,
looking forward to? Good writer's have
used the word that way sometimes In slov-
emily moments or when their critical
faculties sagged. but when they did so they
were not writing good English.
The resolutions require the President TO
transmit n copy of them to the Government
Of France. Unless they are amended in the
House and the Senate concurs, they must
go abroad to advertise Mr.. HoAR's lack OF
vigilance.

Not q Case for Compromise.

The st. Louis car strike Is still on. caus-
Ing extreme personal Inconvenience and
financial injury to the citizens OF st. Louis
and to more than one laborer his life.
There have been efforts at what Is known
as a compromise" of the questions in
dispute between the railway company
and the strikers: but. accepting the state
ment Of the Globe Democrat that the strik-
ers aim TO compel the company to employ
no man who Is not tributary to the union
and to discharge no man without the
unions approval, 1t is sincerely to be hoped
that the railroad companies and the people
of st. Louis will endure any sacrifice neces-
sary to defeat the strikers propositions,
For a business corporation to say that no
laboter need apply unless he first obtains a
license to work from a certain organization
of outside citizens. or that the power TO dis
cipline the force OF men who. in their man
agement of the street cars. carry public life
in their hands, shall be shifted from the
responsible employer TO the irresponsible
employees. is repugnant to every idea Of
fair play and common sense.
There should be no compromise on these
questions. The railroad company that en-
tiers into an agreement Of the kind pro-
posed deserves to lose its charter as unfit
and incompetent to serve the public. And
In resisting 1t deserves the unsparing and
unlagging support Of the entire public.

Polygamy Recognized by the United
states,

A bill introduced into the Senate by
Senator THrRsroN OF Nebraska, which has
been read twice and referred TO the Com
mittee on Indian Affairs, is noticeable for
the reason that IL recognizes polygamy in
territory of the United States.
The hill provides for the registration Of
married Indians and for the licensing, legal
performance and recording Of marriages
among reservation Indians or between them
and those not Indians. The agent Of every
Indian agency is required on and after
January /. 1901. to make a permanent
register of all Indian men and women at
that time on the reservation in his charge

women, with the naTe or names OF eaoh
such wife, the approximate date OF said
| alleged marriage, and the names OF his
living children by each such wife.
The provision requiring marriage licenses
for Indians. however, forbids further polyg-
amy after next January by directing that
" In no case shall any marriage proposed or
| attempted 10 be entered into after Jan. l.
1901, by which q married man shan
attempt to take more than n VIE
or a married woman more than one
husband, be allowed or recognized as a
marriage on Indian reservations OF In any
Indian tribe" Moreover, this prohibition or
future polygamy and polyandry Is made
complete by making all marriages con-
tracted after that date illegal unless they
" shall be performed In accordance with the
laws Of the State or Territory In which the
said reservation lies except that Indian
agents are authorized to perform marriages
to which Indians are parties.
II seems that Of the hfty-nine Indian
eight or nine are permanent marriage
records of Indians now reported and regu-
lations as to such marriages adopted and
enforced. The inference from the language
Of the bill Is that at present both polyRamy
and polyandry are prac,ised by reservation
Indians and that as q matter Of necessary
expediency the Government has been and
is obliged to recognize them when already
existing under tribal customs. though the
entrance into new relations Of the sort is for
hidden by the bill OF Senator THURsToN
after next January.
