BOER WAR RECRUDESCENCE.

After running emptyings" for long time
the BOer war suddenly flames up again into
heroic guise. The battle at Fort italia
worthy of the days of Ladysmth and Mafe-
king and will long be remembered conspic-
uously among the desperate struggles which
have drenched South African soil with the
blood of many peoples. 1t makes the war at
least for Il moment something more than n
mere guerilla marauding. An attack of 600
organized soldiers upon Il fortified position,
vigorously maintained for nineteen hours with
heavy losses on both sides, is genuine war. 1t
was a battle, too, in which both sides won
laurels for determination and persistence and
for fearless valor. The reproach of mere
"sniping' tactics can no longer be applied to
Beers who rushed fortified camp with fixed
bayOnets. Memories of Rorke's Drift are
matched by the performance of the English
men, whO without water and with failing am
munition, through half a night and a whole
day defended themselves against force double
their own in size.
The interesting question at this time is
whether this sudden recrudescence of the war
is the beginning of another long and hardly
contested campaign or is merely the last des-
perate flicker of dying fire. The latter view
of it is taken by The Chronicle of London
which claims some very high" but unnamed
authority for its belief that the Boer resistance
is now about TO collapse utterly and finally
Moreover, the visit of the Prime Minister of
Cape Colony TO Pretoria is generally regarded
in South Africa portending some develop
ments OF the highest Importance. Certainly it
is to be hoped that in some way the will
speedily be ended, and there Is no reasonable
prospect of any other ending than Boer sub
mission to British authority. The only hope
OF the Beers has long been in foreign inter
vention. But it must now he evident to even
the most optimistic of them that their hope
will never be realized. France suppresses pro
Boer cartoons in the press, The Russian En-
perOr speaks in favor of n strengthening of
British efforts for victory. The German Kaiser
turns his back upon those whom once he CON
graduated and encouraged. Even Holland de-
clneS to speak word in favor of the Beers
and at the tribunal of The Hague they are ruled
out of court.
There could be no filter time. then, for the
actual ending of the war than Immediately
after these latest valiant struggles. in which
both sides have won credit and in which the
Beers especially have freed themselves from
the reproach OF being mere bandits There has
been so much real vaor on both sides during
the war that 1t would be gratifying TO see the
conflict ended with flying colors. in soldlerlike
fashion For that there is now an opportunity.
which the world will hope to see improved
The Beers, after of the most gallant strug-
giles in history can now seek terms without any
loss of honor, and the British can afford to
grant honorable terms to foemen who have
proved themselves worthy of their steel

BRITISH TRADE RETURNS.

Detailed official figures of Great Britain's for
egn commerce during the month of August are
no more encouraging than the unfavorable re-
ports of early spring. The statement OF exports
is conspicuous for its almost uniform decrease
in value of shipments of the important classes
of goods One branch of industry alone makes
a good gain, partly neutralizng the effect
the total of numerous losses. But there Is little
consolation In this exception because it is OBJ
viously due 10 peculiarly unfavorable condi-
tions in August 1900. Exports of cotton goods
increased % per cent in quantity and Is per
cent in value as compared with the same month
last year, owing to the poor demand from India
In 1900 because Of famine conditions and the
high price of raw material. which advanced the
cost of goods above the reach of the poor popu-
latons of the Far East. Even in this case
where fair increase over last year Is shown
there is a decrease of 23, 100000 yards COM

CLOSE SEASON FOR RECORDS.

With bicycles reeing off miles in less than a
minute and half each, and automobiles forced
over racetracks at the rate of less than minute
and quarter 4 mile, the pressing haste of the
life of to-day is in peril of excessive accelera-
ton. There is too much hurry already, and
getting over the ground at tremendous a
pace upon auto or wheel accomplshes
no vast amount of substantial good. Might it
not be well to take some reasonable rest, and
intermit for space these almost countless
efforts to break records of well nigh every i'm
aginable sort?
No grievous harm would result if we should
allow the records close season. We do that
for game, lest beast and bird, hunted too per-
sfstently and constantly might be externi-
mated. Why cannot act generously toward
the innocent records also and extend to them
some little chance for safety and repOse? Why
must we go on chasing them so cruelty and so
continually from the first day of the year to
the last? Let the experts be merciful and
spare their harassed and unhappy records for
few months, or at least permit them to draw
a long breath.

Colonel Gruber's amusing travesty of Poor

big racing stable in this country and his colors
were seen on the principal courses here every
day, many members of Tammany Hall tried to
curry favor with him by persistentIy and osten-
tatiously backing his entries for big sums This
was a costly way of gaining his goodwill be-
