Beers and Peace Proposals.
Manchester CHay5fan, Fe6. s..

Manchester GHar5faH, FEB. 5.
It clearly is not true, as has been often
said during the last few days, that the
Beers have declined 10 enter into uego-
ti.tions for peace. Their position is
put very clearly in the short telegram
describing General Botha's interview
with Pretorius, the member OF the Beer
Peace Committee recently sent out from
Pretoria, Rltha refused to discuss a
settlement With a man who had no
recognized official position and who had
no power 10 commit US to anything,
But he went on to say that If we mad any
proposals to make they should be made
in writing. It seems TO us that thar
would be a far more dienified course
Tor us 10 take. II we have any sort OF
concessions to offer we should offer
them openly, and not send Beers who
are regarded by their countrymen IN the
field as renegades on these difficult and
dangerous errands. The Boer Peace
Committee is composed. we are sure, OF
true patriots. At the same time It is
quite evident now that it has no political
influence whatever over the Beers still
ir the field. 1t is not recognized bV
their leaders. aud If It does rs any
service it can onlv be by persuading
individual burghers 10 make their peace.
It is, in fact, simply an agency for
/ encoura giug the Beers 20 desert. II
they choose TO do this work at their
own risk, we'll and good; but as the risk
is so serious 1t would be better that the
military authorities should cease to
encourage them. Either we have terms
to offer the Beers or we have not. i
we have not, these interviews will dc
little service 20 the cause of peace, and i
IS clear that they may end very seriousl!
for IN Ose who take part in them. II, o.
the other hand, we have terms to ofieI
let us be perfectly open aud straight
forward in our dealings.

the Sea ever ready to help her as a
friend.
Nor is the advantage less patent for
England herself England at first
watched with envy and bitterness how
the young German Empire spread
beyond her Continental boundaries,
became a Colonial power, constructed
merchant ships and war shiCs, and sent
them to all quarters of the globe.
Instead OF entering into a course OF
rivalry and mutual antagonism that
could have no good result, instead OF
disPoslng themselves each to be the
enemy Of the other, both parties have
concuTred in the policy Of waiver and
assertion-a policy Of give and take.
Aud so ihe world begins to see that
mutual understanding and common
aims shared by the two great Germanic
powers will bring them more substan-
tial reward than a policy of emulation
and jealous interference. England has
already had proof Of the advantages Of
such a course, though she has only Just
embarked on the policy / have indi.
Gated; for the British Empire would
not have proceeded to the present point
with the South African adventures if the
German Emperor had not set his face
resolutely against all attempts to break
the correctness OF neutrality. The once
hated German feet has saved Eng land
from utter destruction in the East, for
it has enabl cd Germany to throw, in the
space OF a few weeks, huge army into
China, to be a counterpoise to the
efforts Of those powers-CtheY need not
be named) who threatened in the highest
degree the interests of Britain. II ever
alliance between two great nations, both
great political factors in the progress Of
the world, has seemed to offer promise
oi benefits alike for culture and for trade,
I IS that alliance which IS now consum-
mated between England and Germany,
and which opens up not merely a new
-eign in the British Empire but new
FRA in the history OF the world.

explained that whisky contained
90 per cent. alcohol and beer only
3 per cent, and hence, IN proper
tion to alcoholic strength, the taN
was about the same in both pro
ducts, beer stock rose peTceptibly
This is but one Of many instances
in which the SENTINEL, on the spot
and the only paper at the Capital
unqualiiedly advocating beer tax
repeal. was able to serve the inter
ests Of its friends the brewers.
The iDiuj jtice OF reduction oi
IS per cent. OF ITS war tax on to-
bacco, when tobacco manuiac
turers, unlike brewers, had de-
creased the size OF their packages
and thus saddled their share oi the
wars expenses upon the consum-
ers, was SO manifest as to evoke
strong comment in the papers and
in Congress. 1t is susceptible Of
proof, in this connection, that the
rankness of the proposal was first
referred to, two weeks before it
was taken up in the daily papers,
by the SENTINEL, which exposure
Visibly streng hened the hands of
the friends Of beer, The louder
tobacco insisted upon recognition,
the irmer became the conviction
that beer should have relief.
The SENTINEL's efforts to infu-
ence Congressional opinion in
favor Of a lower beer tax are known
throughout the country, for we
have also aimed to keep our friends
informed OF doings at the Capital.
In inviting judgment on the eff
cacy OF our work, it is proper to
refer to the obstacles we have had
to encounter in the press Of the
city, whose hostility towards brew
ers has cen most pronounced, and
to counteract which the SENTINEL
has stood alone. Throughout this
struggle the brewers cause has
Deen upheld unaided by this paper.
We have had the satisfaction, how
ever, OF seeing our arguments in
corporated in the speeches OF Con-
gressmen and printed entire in the
Congressional Record, proving con-
that thev have carried
conviction and borne iruit. We
have no fear OF the judgment. We
invite it.
asst here it will not be amiss to
direct attention to some other mat
ters OF interest to all. The session
about closing has seen the success
full termination Of the fight on the
canteen, it has seen the dominant
party commit itself to the suppress
sion of the importation OF liquors
into parts OF Africa, and to certlin
islands OF the Pacific, and in the
near future this policy will be ap
piled to the islands that have come
into our possession through the
war with Spain. If we desire to
oppose the application oil these
principles to our own land, the
effort must be made at once. Sew
eral State Legislatures are discus
sing measures more or less in line
with this policy, and the outbreak
Of lawlessness in Kansas invites
our attention to another Of its
phases. All these things point to
the necessity Of inauguTating an
propaganda in defense
Of our rights. From its vantage
ground at the National Capital,
the SENTINEL has iought-and sue
cesstully-fanaticism at various
times and in many localities. 1t is
equipped again to enter the fight,
and it asks its friends, when form
ing judgment on the events OF the
past three months, to consider the
necessity Of extending 1t support
in the struggle which is surely
coming.

shrunk until her colonial empire is
insignificant beside that of the rival
with whom she once disputed the SOW

the bulwark, too, which saved Europe
from the aggression OF Spain, and later
on, OF France; and the foreign policy Of
England, from the DAYS OF the Edwards
to the date ofthe alliance negotiated Dv
the Younger Pitt with Prussia, was
largely concerned with securing Dutch
independence. During the nineteenth
century the glory OF Holland has waned

W.T. ether the country is destined much
longer to be a factor in international
relations. Moreover, Hol

give the latter that outlet to the sea in
northwesterly direction which is partic-
ularly desirable to a country with a

because the flag is up in the Philippines it lis going to
