The Nail Ciinched.

The Spokane Spokesman-Review re-
plies to the Reputation by Mr.. Daven-
port Of the alleged statement by him
which appeared in its columns with a
reiteration OF the charge that he has
branded as lie. and invites Mr.. Dav-
export to support his statement with
an oath. This is quite In the manner
OF the Spokesman-Review There Is no
newspaper in the country so notorious
ly and persistently guilty of both the
crimes that Mr.. Davenport lays to its
charge; namely. the crediting TO po-
liticai opponents of views that they
never held and words that they never
uttered. and the refusal TO the victim
of an opportunity to state the FACTS in
its columns
Its past practices not only discredit
1t in this particular instance, but de-
prive II of all right to belief In mat
tiers political. Its style OF wriggling
out of its latest unpleasant predica-
ment is also supremacy, characteristic.
The Spokesman-Review sees broad
distinction between what man states
as fact when he is under oath and
when he Is not. Mr.. Davenport does
not. This is trait OF the Spokane
paper with which all its readers are
unpleasantly familiar.

The End at Hand.

At various times X has been re-
marked that the end OF the war In
South Africa Is at hand, and on each
of those occasions the expectation GER
tainly seemed to be justified. However
the resolute perseverance of the Beers
IN their hopeless struggle has lasted
much longer than their most ardent
friends expected Guerrilla warfare has
continued long after the last hope of
Boer success had faded. and when its
continuance only meant a postpone
ment of the time when peace. under
British domination. would come to the
TransvaaL
Beyond all question. however, the
flight OF Kruger and the leaders among
hts advisers into foreign territory.
whence. 1t is announced. they will take
their departure for Europe, practically
ends the struggle. There is no longer
even a pretense OF a government in
the Transvaai. save that set up by
British authority. The great .Boer
leader has given It up; he has aban-
doned the forlorn hope. and in so do
ing he has left his countrymen without
an authoritative leader. without an or
ganized government. and probably
without belligerent rights.
There is not the faintest likelihood
that any Boer force Will remain under
arms when the flight of Kruger is
known. The handful OF men who, un-
der brilliant partisan leaders. have
harassed the British army for some
months past, and who have success
fully outmaneuvered. outfought and
evaded British forces of many times
their strength. will probably surrender
within brief period; or else they win
quietly break up. and the men who
have been under arms win return to
their homes and farms without the
formality Of actually surrenderIng.
The gallantry of the little South
African republics. the brilliant manner
in which they have for months carried
on an unequal struggle. has excited
the admiration OF the whole world.
Few have ever candidly thought that
they had any prospect OF ultimate sue
cess, because the odds against them
were too fearfully great. 1t has been
regretted by the true friends OF the
Beers that they decided to continue the
struggle after II became fully appar-
ent, even to themselves. that they had
no prospect OF success. There win be
general satisfaction now that the long
struggle is over; that peace and order
will be once more restored, ana that
an opportunity win be afforded the peo-
pie TO repair the ravages Of war. The
struggle has brought no such penal
ties as the wars of bygone ages II
win be but brief period before the
Beers win enjoy under British rule all
the clvil rights OF any colonists. and,
as a matter OK fact, those rights are
greater than are enjoyed by any peo-
pie on earth save those OF the United
States and OF Great Britain itself.
