The Boer war is dragging It's slow course
along these days with little that is decisive
or sensational in the results. Gen. Roberts
recently engaged in a forward movement
against Botha, who held to base al Mid
bleburg. The present reports Of the affair
seem to show that the British commander
failed to prevent the Boer retreat east
ward. and Roberts return to Pretoria sug
gests that there Is no present prospect of
his infiicting a crushing blow. The season
is bad for campaigning, it being the middle
of the South African winter. with bitter
cold and other serious disco.nforts. The
climate of the Transvaal. despite the lati-
tude. which is about the same as that of
northern Florida. is severe in midwinter
on account of the distance from the sea
and the height of the mountain ranges
The elevation in places more than counter
balances the latitude. Thus the British
armies. which were few months ago Sc
verely handicapped by the intense heat of
the plains Of the Free State and Cape Col
ony. are now shivering, although they
have penetrated closer to the equator.
There are no signs that the British forces
Will be able to deliver an effective blow at
present. and 1t seems rather to be Lord
Roberts general policy now to wear out
the Beers by successive attacks in detail,
together with attempts to trap numbers by
extensive movements. The occupation of
Middleburg by Gen. French has materially
extended the area of British activity. 1t is
apparently believed abroad that a complete
collapse Of the Boer campaign is not to be
anticipated for several months, unless by a
sudden turn of luck Roberts should be able
to capture one or more of the chief leaders,
such as Kruger. Steyn. De Wet or Botha.
Those worthless however. are carefully
keeping out OF reach. Meanwhile the Beers
continue active in small parties and are
giving some trouble here and there they
find weaker forces of British sufficiently
isolated to permit an attack.

Fool Bets,

The Fool-Killer would be kept busy these
days If he conscientiously did his work
among the men who are betting on the
presidential contest. He would probably
overlook those partisans who seek to for
tify their faith by an appeal to the pocket
who seek to express their confidence in
terms of cash. who carry their enterprise
80 far as to try to manufacture q following
by assuming a keen psiitical prescience. The
professional gamblers. to whom a national
campaign Is a harvest time, do not fall
within the jurisdiction of the Fool-Kille
for 1t Is all in the way of business with
them But he would have to work overtime
to keep pace with the freak bets. The man
who offers to support his mother-in-law free
for the rest OF her life if his candidate
loses would engage his attention. Some
time would have to be spared for the in
dividual who agrees to wear his clothes in
side out for a year, or the man who agrees
not to carry an umbrella for an equal
period, or the one who pledges himself to
humiliate his finest sense of patriotism by
parading with the flag he most bitterly
hates. or the whole army of wheelbarrow-
riders and freak-hat wearers and unshaving
persons and the like. The human ingenuity
seems pressed to the limit in election years

The news from Italy Is appalling. The
world. though profoundly agitated on the
subject of China and the anarchical mani
festations in a kingdom of four hundred
millions of people, will yet pause In grief
and horror to consider the assassination of
ruler who had so many claims upon its
respect and good will. The loss, indeed, is
not alone Italy's. King Humbert stood in
good accord with the other sovereigns of
Europe. and was a by no means inconsid-
cradle factor in the preservation of the
peace on that continent. Personally he was
brave and kindly. He exhibited a desire to
deserve and enjoy the affections of his sub
jects. His bearing was that of royalty
tempered by the spirit of democracy, and
he met his death while engaged in distrib-
uting prizes, like the mayor of little city
might do. and often does at a local compe-
titfon between athletes. His reception had
been cordial, but even while the people
were cheering him the assassin took his
life.
Again, as In the cases of Alexander II of
Russia Carnot of France, and Elizabeth
of Austria, one shudders at the nature Of
what may be called the new assassin
creed. The assassns of old asked to be
justified on the plea that they struck at
tyrants. But Alexander had freed the serfs
and otherwise liberalized his government
Carnot was the president of republic, and
was one of natures noblemen-as far as
possible from being bad or dangerous
man in office. Elizabeth was bowed with
personal sorrows. was unrelated to political
policies of any kind. and was a gracious
dispenser of charities in every direction.
Apd now Humbert follows. who. upon the
whole, had deserved well of his country
in very trying circumstances. This. indeed,
is anarchy. for it is no longer the tyrant
who is sought out. but the ruler anywhere
within the assassins reach. 1t is authority
at which the wretches are striking.
The affairs of Italy are not in prosperous
shape. and this tragedy may still further
complicate them. Taxes are heavy, and
factional quarrels bitter. Crisp. the
greatest intellect in the country. is an old
man In retirement and overwhelmed with
personal misfortunes. And now the king.
still comparatively young man. and mas
ter of all the details of business, is muir
dered. But Italy. there Is reason to believe,
will remain united and continue to play a
part on the European stage. Her present
alignments are strong. and they should
serve to steady and support her in the
present ordeal.

From the New 1trk Herald.
To be unable to walk in the public street
to drive in an automobile, to go into the
surf or to stop to talk with a friend on the
beach without being snapped into a dfstort-
ed picture for public diversion Is badgering
the conspicuously placed citizen a trife too
far.
There should be much more discretion
and delicacy demanded in the treatment of
those who are in the public eye, and the
very men worthy to fill public places with
credit will decline. because they do not
care to be pilloried for public scorn or

courage In adhering to his convictions than

contend, thoroughly mistaken as to public
policies, but that he is a sincere man and
believes that his policies would benefit the
country nobody doubts.
Turning from the candidates to the men
in charge of the campaigns we find that
they occupy high stations and have the
cordial respect Of all their associates. Mr..
Hanna holds a commission in the Senate
from one of the most important of the
states. and in the business world he has
achieved signal success and enjoys the high
est credit. Mr.. Jones also Is a senator, and
one Of his partys leaders in that body.
His standing as man Is unimpeachable,
and his skill as a party manager has Sc
cured him reelection as chairman of his
party's national committee. When did
either party ever have a man Of better
standing in the political world to manage
its campaign affairs? Both Mr.. Hanna and
Mr.. Jones are objects Of fierce attacks. but
what campaign manager ever escaped, or
may hope to escape, such attacks? TLey
are penalty inseparable from the place
and the service.
