The British censorship In South
Africa Is so strict that not a
wcrd has got through since Gen.
Butler began his movement for
turning the flank OF the Beers and re-
Iieving Ladysmith. just when this
movement began is not clear, but PROF.
ably as long ago rs last Thursday. 1t
does not follow OF course that because
the British censors have allowed no
news Of It's progress to get out
that Gen. Butler has met with defeat,
but IL does follow that he has won up
to the present time no decisive success.
The state of public feeling is such in
London that there would lie no delay
In reporting a suocess. even If 1t were
only small one. 1t is fair conclu-
sion. therefore. from the dearth OF news
that the British havs not yet accom-
plished anything decisive. and there Is
ground for suspicion that up to the pres
emit time they have failed to accomplish
any thing that 1t would cheer the English
people to be told Of.

1t is a mistake to suppose that making
law that cannot be enforced does no
harm as long as the laws are good In
Themselves. No law ought ever to be put
upon the statute book where the intention
or ABILITY to enforce 1t is lacking. We
are inclined to think that ourfew law
that was enforceable and was enforced
would be productive of some good. But
we by no means subscribe to the propo-
sition that even II uncomfortable 1t
GOULD do no harm. A uncomfortable or
non-enforcsd law always dues harm. 1t
tends to destroy respsot for law. because
1t admits Of being violated With impun-
fly. We have altogether too many nom
enforceable laws upon our statute books
already. No more of that kind should
be put there. We do not mean to say that
no curfew law can be enforced. but We do
mean to say that no ourfew law Without
any penalty for its violation can be en-
forced.

rHE INCONSISTENCY OF OUR
GOVERNMENT.
Grew. q. G. Pierce.)

Our government claims to be demo
cratic. les laws are supposed to be made
In accordance with the wish and Will Of
the people. AS a people We hold tenac-
lousy to the theory of popular rspressn-
tatioD. ANY plan or suggestion to cut of
from this divine privilege any class, large
or small, would be met with such q
storm of opposition as Is rarely seen. Its
advocate would be denou noed as an
enemy of our institutions, as o traitor
to human rights, and his measure would
bs struck dead by that fatal word, "un-
constitutional" and buried forever be-
meath tue avalanche of public opinion.
And yet In this "land Of the free aud
hone OF the brave, In this year OF our
Lord 1900; in an age of enlightenment,
progress, thought and truth, in this frse,

nation Is hugging to Its bosom in an in
