A Matter OF Gratitude.


If any American citizens feel SYM
pathy for the Beers in the present war
in South Africa, that is their own mat
ter In this country every man is at
liberty to think for himself and, with
in any reasonable bounds he is free to
give expression to his opinions. There
is an honest difference Of opinion as to
which party in South Africa is in the
right, but in too many cases the Ameri-
can partisans of the Beers are inspired
with an inherited dislike of England
rather than with any real understand
ing of President kruger's cause or true
sympathy with it. This is an I'M
American condition of things and such
an attitude is unworthy any portion of
our people.
Because the anti-English element is
50 loud in its demonstration of SYM
patty for the Beers, the impression
may get about that most Americans
belong to this party. This is wrong
1t is not fair to judge the size of this
party by its vociferations. We believe
that the great majority of Americans
feel that England is in the right, that
her success in South Africa will best
serve the interests of the world. and
that her complete triumph there is GER
tain in the not distant future There
are other considerations which ought
to appeal to those who are shouting
for the Beers. and which ought to in
duce them at least to keep still at this
time. Gratitude has often the quality
of duty, and this country never had oc-
casion to feel more grateful to for
eign power than is now due from it
to England. Only a few months ago.
when the powers Of continental Europe
We're ready and willing to oppose us
in the necessary and just war which
we waged with Spain, it was England
which barred the way. 1t was only the
firmness Of her attitude which prevent
ed a foreign Intervention that would
have made matters most serious for
u.s. Whether it was for the sake of
kinship Of through selfish motives is
another story. The fact remains that
England showed herself our friend

pie to forget this fact.
