England's Weakness,

Lord Salisbury, the British premier,
made on Monday speech which was
intended to reassure his countrymen
In general and his party in particular
on the course of the South African
war, its immense cost in life and treas
ure and its inglorious consequences to
England. Reviewing that part of the
speech that deals with the South African
war, the New York Sun, especially able
in the department of foreign politics,
says:
We turn to that part of Lord Sails
bury's speech which, evidently, was in
tended 10 comfort the bulk of his ad-
herents for the indefinite prolongation
of the contest in Sonth Africa and for
the inordinate fiscal burdens which it
already has imposed upon them. The
Prime Minister said that "the war in
South Africa has shown conclusively
the strength of England, and that there
is now no power in the world but
knows that, if it deied the might OF
England, it would defy one of the most
formidable enemies it could encoun-
ter" That, certainly, is not the i'm
preston which the facts have made
upon France, Germany or Russia
or, we may add, on the United
States. 1t is true that, in the course
of many months, England manag
ed to place in South Africa 6
number of soldiers larger than that Of
all the Boer inhabitants in the Trans
vaal and the Orange Free State, includ
ing women and children and babies il
arms as we'll as men. But under wha
conditions was this achievement per
formed? England had absolute mastery
of the sea, while her opponents con
trolled not single seaport. Every
troopship, every transport, could pro
coed to its destination with an assn
rance of absolute immunity from at
tack. Meanwhile, owing to the atti
tude of strict neutrality assumed by tn,
continental Powers and the United
States, the United Kingdom was Ell
tirely free from the fear of any appre
citation in the prices of food staples.
1t is obvious that very different con
] ditions would have to be faced in tn
event of a conflict between EoglanC
and any maritime power. The diff

erance Of State court of last resort
deciding the precise point, the publ.
cation of letter dictated and type
written containing libellous matter is
legally complete, although its contents
have not been known to any person
other than the stenographer. The
court ruled:
Neither the prevalence OF any business
customs or methods, nor the pressure OF

Under the ruling, publicity within
the meaning and intent of the libel law
of Maryland is sufficiently accomplished
when the Objectionable matter is die

as fully for legal purposes as though ii
were printed in a newspaper and pub
lished broadcast. No case presenting
the same facts appears to have been be-
fore the courts of any other State for
adjudication. In view of the universal
use of stenograpb as confidential

cision should be widely published

few individuals. Impartial, search
ing inquiry should develop the bottom
facts respecting this industry-as well
as others in similar case-and Repub-
lican Congress should act thereon in
strict accordance with the fundamental
tariff policy Of the party.
Mr.. Schwab thinks that the effects
of the consolidation of seventy five per
cent of the steel industries will be to
lower the price of the products of
steel. This was the argument of the
men engineering similar consolida-
ton of the makers of paper, but the
consequence of consolidation was a
high and rapid advance in the price Of
paper, and the combine was the lead
ing cause producing this effect A rise
in price in a consolidation of this sort
ia the natural and inevitable sequence
OF cause and effect.
But it matters little if the effect of
some cancellations has been an APP
parent reduction in the cos. of prod
ucts, if the price the consolidation
maintains is still such as to yield a
profit that is excessive. Beyond safe
and reasonable return on money in
vested, the great public is entitled, in
lower prices, to benefits accruing from
consolidation. Such division of the
gains of industry is in accordance with
wise public policy, in harmony with
good morals, and is mighty good and
judicious politics for party admins
tering the government of a people for
the people.

mate, common place thing, considered
with respect to her own quality alone.
So the daughters of the suns of the
social and political systems, shining by
reflected light, become the natural and
inevitable objects Of public interest,
though as maids, earning their own liv-
ing in the shadows of their native hills,
or in the factories, or amid the gloomy
precincts of the great city offices and
work rooms, or doing their humble
duty by the domestic Preside, "far
from the madding crowd" they might
be "gems of purest ray serene" in
the clark unfathomed caves" of the
ocean Of human life, or objects of no
particular interest whatever. But, be-
ing in position to catch and reflect the
light that streams from wealth or sta
ton they catch the eye of the watch
men on the towers of the Associated
Press, and stories of their personal az
fairs are sent to the remotest corners Of
the earth.
The night is enlivened by moon
shine, and the dull story of daily events
is relieved by the high lights that come
even from Ruth Hanna's love affairs.
Let 'em shine.

Belgian Hares.

While some persons may deplore or
belittle the growth in this country OF
The Belgian hare industry, the much
discussed little animals are bobbing up
all over the land. In the States of Cal
itornia and Washington, unless the re-
ports are false, Belgian hares of the
Americanized breed are as numerous
as househies. In Arizona arrange
ments are making to produce them in
quantities and can them at the rate Of
$1,000 to 10000 hares per week. In
Colorado the Belgian hare fever is
fierce. Illinois, for some months, has
been congratulating herself for the san g
reason, naming her prize hares after
champion pugilists and distinguished
, generals. New Jersey, as has recently
been shown, is also in line. Boston,
the hotbed of New England epicures,
has lately held Belgian hare banquet,
and, 1t is rumored, capitalists there are
considering a scheme to breed the
hares in conjunction with other indut-
tries at present 6ouris hing in the Bay
State, such, for example, as the propa-
CATION of bullfrogs, black cats and An
CORA goats. The South is infected.
"The Belgian hare craze" says the
Times Democrat, "has hit New Orleans
| squarely between the eyes,"
Doubtless this sudden boom in the
South is the result of the impetus to
the industry occasioned by the exhi-
bition not long ago of the Southern
Belgian Hare Association.
Americans were told years ago, when
| Belgian hares were mere strangers
here, that once the little fellows be-
came well acquainted in their new
home, no one could tell where they
would migrate; and The truthfulness
of that assertion is manifest New
York Sun.

supplies would be increased immeas-
urably, and, moreover, the food sup
plies, indispensable to the British pop
ulation, would have to be conveyed TO
large extent under foreign flags. In
the case of war with Russia, for ex-
ample, assisted as that power would
probably be by France, it would be
impracticable for England to place in
India number Of troops equal to that
employed in South Africa; for she
would not dare to denude herself
of the forces requisite for the repul-
sion of invasion. She would be for
tunate if she secured even the food
products necessary for the subsistence
of her people through the transporta-
ton of such products under the United
States flag, for it is by no means GER
tain that France and Russia might not
declare food contraband of war.
The lesson drawn from the South
African contest by impartial onlookers
is not that it rebounds to England g
glory and safety, but that it has reveal
ed state OF things which renders it
extremely doubtful whether England,
unless she should, adopt the continen
tai system of CONSUMPTION, could de-
fend her reaching empire, togeth-
er with the British Isles, against an
attack of two, or even one, of the great
powers.

Off His Trolley.

The editor of the st. Adams MeSsen-
ger inquiries, "Who is Ruth HANNAH"
And he asks an impersonsl "you" il
he, she or it knows Ruth? The ed
itor's interest in the young woman
might be matter of domestic solicit
tude but for the context of the inquiry
which discloses its purpose:
What has she done that her personal
affairs should be Geographic news-mat-
ter for the country to read? And yet
columns are filled to tell one day that
she ia engaged to be married and the
next day to deny it with much nicely
of detail and circumstance. WhyP Be-
cause she is Marcus A. Hanna's daugh-
ter, that's al. There isn't cents
worth of Geographic news in the love
affair of Ruth Hanna.
If interest were confined to what a
woman "has done that her personal az
fairs should be telegraphic news matter
for the country to read" some inter-
esting people would be excluded from
public notice. What have a hundred
and one other women, young or old,
"done" to justify the publicity given
to their "personal affairs?" What had
Wilhelmina "done" that her personal
affairs should be telegraphic news mat
ter-and columns of it-for the whole
world? What have the daughters OF
wives of rich men or great men, IN
Vermont, at Washington, or the world
at large, "done" which entities them
to the honor Of the ELUSIVE personal
mention they invariably receive? Ruth
Hanna's love affairs may be as much
matter of proper mention, so far al
the young woman's deeds are war
rant, as a thousand others who have
similar publicity, and about which nc
question is raised. If the "oecause"
is not followed by the explanatory
name OF Marcus a. Hanna, some other
of local or general fame supplies thC
cue, and "there isn't a cents worth o
Geographic news" in their affairs
either of love or otherwise, measured
by the Messengers standard of value.
