suspense Regarding south Africa.

From the tone Of our dispatches from
South Africa today it is plain that the
New Year strikes England with anything
but merry greeting. On the surface. the
situation is what 70 was described in our
morning edition: but there is a gloomy i'm
preston in London that the War Office is
keeping back bad news from two if not
from three points. The fear is acute thai
the Boer report OF the latest sOrtiC from
Mafeking only tells partially the story Of
a sad slaughter Of gallant officers ana men.
and the idea that Lord Edward Cecil, Lord
Salisbury's son. and Lord Charles Cavcn-
dish Bcntinck are among the slain. grows
apace. There is apprehension. also that
the account Of Montmorency's reconnois-
sance beyond Dordrecht may not disclose
the whole truth OF the affair
As to Ladysmith, il appears evident that
the condition OF the garrison is growing
hourly more desperate. Notwithstanding
reports to the contrary. The. casually lists
photographed out by Sir George White in
dicate only too certainly that the Boer fire
is steadily growing in destructiveness. By
way of Pretoria a statement comes that
the British are blowing up their heavy
guns preparatory to a final sortie en- masse;
but this story is not acceptable at present,
although it might possibly be true. All
authorities agree that Sir RedTers Butler
is preparing for a movement and that it is
likely to occur before the end OF the week.
We are bound to notice. on the authority
OF the dispatches, that his preliminary
accommodating has been so far done in
laundering and ineffective manner. and
this does not tend TO encourage hopes for
his success in an effort which will require
skill. thorough organization. and the most
Intelligent cooperation between all COM
manders and units, quite as much as the
possession Of men and guns. Moreover the
Tugela River is IN heavy food and that
may delay the advance. which daily is com
ing 20 be regarded as a forlorn hope for the
succOr OF Ladysmith.

Mr.. Gn=e'- Proceedings

The contention OF Secretary Cages
friends that whatever he has done in the
course Of his relations with the Ma
tional City Bank Of New York has
been with the advice and consent OF Mr..
Mckinley and the Cabinet may be entirely
correct II so. then responsibility for
transactions Of a character open to cuss-
zion does not rest entirely upon the
shoulders of one man. but is to be divided
among several individuals Of exalted Of
fetal position.
Mr.. Gage has announced his willingunes
to be Investigated by Congress. and the
latter should not waste any time in offer
ing him an opportunity to explain his
conduct We have no disposition to pre-
judge him, or any OF his coparceners in the
deal, il there has been deal and if there
are coparceners. We must say. however.
that the ugliness Of the charges made in
some quarters, unless the same be conclu-
siyely and quickly disproved. will proba-
bly, constitute a serious menace 10 the
peace Of mind OF the Administration. II
IS true that what is alleged as having been
done by one OF the great executive Gepart-
meats, in violent IL not corrupt contraven-
tion Of law. is no worse than other ac-
tons previously committed by sister de-
partments. The country has grown used
10 the subversion Of both Constitution oud
law. through the practices Of the party in
power during the past three years. and il
would be difficult therefore. for anything
to happen in the nature OF a public sur
prise. That pure and patriotic statesman.
John J. ingalls,. writing of Republican party
methods and achievements. says that "if
the Constitution stands across the path
why so much the worse for the
Constitution"
But somebody win have to account to the
American people for the astonishing trans
action connected with the sale Of the old
New York custom house to the National
City Bank. As statements in the metropoli-
tan press read: On July .. 1899 the Gov
eminent sold the property in question for
three million. two hundred and sixty-fve
thousand dollars. The president OF The
hank handed Secretary Gage a certified
check for the amount. less forty thou
sand dollars, kept back for pur-
pose. The check was Immediately re-
turned No money actually passed. No
money resulting from the sale was turned
into The Treasury in accordance with the
law. The National City Bank, it is said
kept the purchase price in it's vaults and
fas had the free use Of it ever since. It is
ALLEGED that the National City Bank. not
W!thstandiug all this. has been charging
and collecting from the Government rent
FOR the building at the rate OF four per cent.

ner given at the club by a member SIR
Bryan is expected to reach the city on
January Is
There are great many members OF the
club who are gold Democrats and nearly
every one Of them voted against Bryan in
1895. While they cannot object TO Mr.
Bryan's presence at the club as the guest
OF member. they would probably find
fault If it were sought 20 turn the private
Inner TO him into club affair
Other friends OF Mr. Bryan are Brepar-
ing to give him a great reception when he
reaches the city. There has been some talk
OF arranging for a demonstration in mis-
honor in Madison Square Garden. but so
Tar his proposition has not assumed deli
mite shape.

are opposed TO sidetracking the free silver

New Year Day in America is
pleasant and ennobIing institution, espe-

day Of cha " and forgiveness. and. where
such thing may be necessary. a day Of

Being. for our own part largely imbued

and that the general massacre intended by
