The gathered republican hosts at

under more favorable circumstances

today in a standard bearer. President

of the most vexatious periods of our
history, in which he has often been
compelled to lead the way, commands
the wide respect and unlimited conf
dence of the republicans of the nation.

enthusiasm that will follow it,

[I4ouisvile Courier-Journal.l
The ease with which Lord Roberts
has completed the conquest of the
South African States will make the
English contemplate the results of the
war with mingled emotions. His tr!-
umphs have been so complete and so
sbloodless that they have demonstrated
the truth of the early opinions about
the War. 1t was nothing but a prom
5enade TO Pretoria after all. and it
should have never been anything else.
for the Beers were soutlnatched at every
point but one.
Everybody recalls the amazement
with which President kruger,s ultima
jtum was received The whole civilized
world agreed that resistance was impos-
5sible. SO II was, as Lord Roberts prog
ress from the Modder river, beginning
on Feb. II, has shown. Kimberley was
relieved on the 18th: on the 18th Gen.
IGronje surrendered. On the 2Sth Lord
3Dundonald entered Ladysnlith. Bloem-
sfontein vas straightway occupied and
the Free State subjugated without
trouble or serious encounter. on April
80 the advance OH Pretoria was begun.
and within month Johannesburg fell
fighting was required. The physical diff
5ticulties Of the march and the transport
tatior of supplies We're the only great
obstacles TO be overcome.
The manner In which Lord Roberts
campaign was conducted leads 10 the
plain conclusion that the war ought
really to have been matter OF only
three months at the outside as ii was
at first supposed 1t would only be. How
ever, as Lord Salisbury said in speech
last week. We have learned that all de-
ponds on the general. Had Roberts.
instead of Butler. been given charge at
the start, the resistance of the Beers
would have been to as little avail as ii
proved after the new British commando
err picked up the tangled skeins of the
war at Modder river. 1t was incom-
potency of the British. more than the
bravery and, skill OF the Beers. that pre-
vented the orderly promenade to Pre-
Storia, which London predicted at the
f beginning of hostilities.
No disparagement Of the Beers is
meant. Their gallantry and skill in
their method OF warfare are freely ac-
knowledged. Nevertheless. 1T Is true
that it was never possible for these
farmers without discipline, TO meet
with any hope OF permanent success the
drilled and seasoned British armies
when intelligently led. The mistakes of
the English generals lay in not compre-
hending the Boer tactics any more than
Rraddock knew how to fight the Indi-
ans on his memorable campaign. Brad
dock was slaughtered and his army
routed. but If Washington or any other
fare had been in command, the result
would have been different.
The fearful cost of incompetent lead
ership and the inestimable value of a
good general have received such a DEM
onstration in South Africa as the world
has not known since the Franco Prus-
sian war.

OF Freddie
Then Freddie bought sugar and sold 1t
at a quarter of its value until he had
ruined all competition. when he made
good his losses tenfold by raising the
price enormously. And all the people
praised Freddie.
Freddie built railroad to ruin the
road which ram thru his city, and he
succeeded, and made the public pay. He.
OILED the machinery OF congress and
worked it so that tariffs excluded ev-l

there Was no competition. And the peo-
pie still more praised Freddie. All the

he Was called the man of the hour and
the Napoleon of finance. Freddie had be-
come a great American.
But Freddie was not proud. He re-
NAMED the same humble. pious, Cod
fearing Freddie. He Went diligently to
church. and when the pastor spoke of

be showered upon honest work, he
would be moved to tears and nod his
head in approval.
Freddie still lives. He is busy max
