The fiaring up of the embers of the long struggle in South Africa is the cause of considerable annoyance to the British public. It has also called. attention again to the enormous stretch of territory over which the theater Of war extends and the extraordinary difficulties which the British army. in consequence. has to encounter and to overcome. A comparison of this part of South Africa with portions of the United States will assist the mind in comprehending this point. The Cape Colony, Natal and the two Dutch states are almost exactly the size O.: that part of our own country lying east of the Mississippi and south of the Ohio and Potomac rivers, emitting the state of Florida. Of this expanse of territory the states of Mississippi. Ala bama and Georgia combined exceel slightly the area of the two Dutch states. In the southwest it is found that Texas and New Mexico fall a little short of equaling the same portions of South Africa Arizona Is almost identi- cal in area with the Transvaal Further north Nebraska and Kansas correspond in extent with the two Dutch republics. while Colorado and Wyoming include an area one-third larger.

If President Roosevelt remarks the ingenious and oisinterested MT Bryan, will announce his determina- ton not to be candidate for renomi- nation he will be relieved Of great Geal of embarrassment and anxisty." And so,' remarks the New York Commercial Advertiser, will MT. Bryan. His embarrassment and anx- iety as he contemplates the possibility of seven years of Roosevelt in the White House can scarcely be meas ured. A good deal of it is disclosed in the above comment and in other rtterances which accompany it. MT. Bryan is quite sure that trouble awaits the president if he does not abandon all idea of reelection, and he enters into specifications upon the subject which show that he has a. truly kind and sympa thetic heart No one can read his friendly words to the presi- dent and not be convinced that it would give MT Bryan pain to have to run against Roosevelt in 1904. It would hurt him dreadfully to have to defeat man whom he loves so fondly That is why he warns him against ths bosses and corporations and trusts and yearns SO deeply to rescue him from their deadly clutches.

Undoubtedly there will be an oppor- tunity to vote on the question of ad- mission before the close of the next session of congress, and in all serious ness we wish to say emphatically to our friends in the east that they need have no fears that the state Of Ari- zona will be rotten borough.

For a number of years the state of Delaware has been represented at
 Washington by but one SERIOUS senator, all because TALK ON A "Gasman'' Addicks of FICTITIOUS that state persists in TEXT. his determination to be
 a senator against the wishes of d large section of the vot- CTS, and manages each year to control enough votes in the legislature to pre- vent an election. According to the Hartford Courant, MT. Addicks now proposes to make a flank movement on the senate by changing the basis of his operations to Arizona It says:
 Gasman Addicks has large mining interests in Arizona. A rumor far too good to be true attributes to him a resolution to shake the dust of Dela- ware from his shoes, go west, hustle for the admission of Arizona to the union. and then try for one of the new states senatorShips.
 Arizona, it is true, does not possess an intimate knowledge of Mir. Addicks, and has no disposition to heave clubs and deceased cats at him simply be- cause many eastern newspapers find in him a perennial subject for the ex- ercise of their powers of invective. And it will be time enough for us to examine into his personal character after he has offered himself as a target for the Arizona boys of the press. The probabilities are that he is not nearly as bad as he has been pictured. The thought of his representing Arizona is. of course, absurd. But 1t is pertinent al this time seriously to inquire, Why is Arizona less entitled than Delaware to the consideration of the esteemed Ccurant. Have we not in this terri tory high grade Americanism which is fully equal to the best to be found in Delaware or any eastern state? Ger tainly we have.

What is the truth about the astro.

What is the truth about the astr0- nc-nical instruments which were stolen from Pekin? This much Is known, that they have been set up in the park of Sans Souci, Frederick the Greats historic palace in Potsdam, and there they are to remain as niementoes of the herculean tasks performed by William ITS favorite warrior. Count von Wal csrsee. They were brought over as a part of the loot of last summers expe- dition, but whether they are still loot or are a gift from the Chinese emperor to his great. and good friend, or have been purchased, seems to be rather in doubt. Some German papers say that the Chinese emperor, when he realized that the prized instruments had de- parted from his country for Germany, told Prince Chun, his special envoy. to offer them to William as a token of imperial Chinese regard. which strikes one as being slightly humorous The selni-cfIicial press says that it Is true that Prince Chun did offer the instru-
