TO PLAcATE THE Beers

The development of a more liberal
policy toward the Beers has been
noted in England the past week. The
London correspondent of the New York
Sun says. that England has let it be-
come known that the government is
ready to enter into negotiations with
the Beers on a basis that means local
representative self government.
1t is remarked that this new attitude
of the government has not created the
protest that must have followed the
advocacy Of any such terms a year
ago. It is expected that in the present
week, Mr. Chamberlain at Guild Hall.
when the City Council entertafns the
Prince of Wales at luncheon, will an
nounce in clear and unmistakable Ian
guage. just what the government in
tends to do.
It is most earnestly to be hoped that
the correspondent of the Sun has not
been misled. Even those who are in
sympathy with England in the pur-
poses of the struggle would be glad to

an end The reports of frequent en-
gagements, of the concentration camps
and Of hardships in the field are pitt
full things to read about constantly.
The Beers have surprised everybody.
It was not deemed possible that they
could maintain even a show of force
for so long a time. They have been
called mad and foolish and possibly
they are, yet if England can find it
possible to yield certain things for the
sake of peace, the people Of all nations
will heartily approve. If England has
undergone the change Of heart repre-
scented. it has not been from philan-
thropie motives but rather from the
enormous expense the maintenance of
the war is causing. 1t should not be
forgotten. however. that there are pro-
Boer Englishmen and that a certain
moral force has been strongly at work
to bring about an adjustment of the
difficulties.
It is suggested that possibly the
spirit Of Cancellation. if it really has
been awakened, has been aroused too
late; that the Beers remaining in the
field. thinking that they cannot lose
anything more by continuing the

EARNING MONEY RAPIDLY

It is said that Jan Kubelik, the Bo-
hemian violinist who has just come
over to play an engagement of one
hundred nights in this country and in
Mexico, is to receive $1,000 each night.
Kubelik is but twenty-five years old.
He will return home, provided he is
not overtaken by some disaster, carry
ing with him very snug fortune. 1t is
quite possible that the management of
the tour may also reap a substantial
profit Once it is known that Kubelik
is thoroughly worth hearing, audiences
sufficiently large to pay expenses and
something besides ought not to be hard
to find. It is said that Paganini held
to be the greatest of violinists. never
earned anything like 100000 in a
season. With improved opportunities
for swift transportation and facilities
for spreading information the great ar

the harvest that formerly he would
have been long in garnering.

THE PRIZE FIGHT

The city of Hartford, Connecticut,
finds itself in an unenviable position.
Though the capital of a state that has
always prided itself on maintaining a
high standard of morality, the promot-
ers of the "sparring exhibition be-
tween Young Corbett' and McGovern
had little difficulty in foisting upon the
community a genuine prize fight. OF
course it was very well known before
hand that it was to be a prize fight and
that all the Objectionable features of
prize fighting were likely to be devel-
oped in the course of the contest. 1t
would be a very unkind thing to sup
stupid as not to know precisely what
was intended. The patrons of the ring
found the opportunity to do in Hart
ford what they would not dare attempt
to do in the city of New York or in
the state of New York
The police were present in force to
see that the law was not violated. If
the police saw nothing illegal in the
fight, then, either the laws must be
very lax or else the Hartford police
must put a very generous construction
upon them. Fortunately the fight
stopped in the second round. It was
well that the knockout blow came
then, because, if for no other reason, it
cut short the story of the brutal affair
which might have been otherwise vast
ly prolonged
Prize fighting under polite names of
of one sort and another has found a
fairly comfortable field in New Eng
land of recent years. Some Massa-
chusetts cities have been open to the
sport" The authorities of Massachu-
sets, however, showed themselves
wideawake on several occasions last
season and it looks as though the ring
could not much longer find a refuge
within the borders of the Bay State.
AS usual after prize fights. the news
papers are being blamed for having
printed the details of the contest They
printed the story of the fight because
1t was news. 1t was one of the events
which from almost every standpoint it
was the newspapers business to print
Newspapers are compelled to print a
great many disagreeable things Should
a newspaper ignore prize fights when
they are taking place all the time, it
would cease to reflect what is going on
and would be untrue to its calling. Yet
no newspaper favcrs prize fighting.
As a matter of fact through the
newspapers the people learn the true
nature Of "sparring matches" The
events in the ring and at the ring side
are presented just as they transpire
The people, therefore, are enabled t.
judge accurately the nature of sucl
exhibitions and to decide whether they
can afford to tolerate them in theil
midst.
