REJECTED BY BOTHA.
Peace Terms Offered Do Not Please
Roer Leader.


Roer Leader.
Joseph Chamberlain. the British Co
lonial Secretary. informed the House of
Commons Tuesday that Gen. Botha has
rejected the peace terms offered him.
Gen. Botha, Mr.. Chamberlais said, had
conveyed the information in a letter to
Gen. Kitchener. in which he announced
that he was not disposed to recommend
the terms of peace Gen. Kitchener was
instructed to offer him, to the earnest
consideration of his government. Gen.
Botha added that his government and
its chief officers entirely agreed with his
view. The responsibility for the con-
tinuance of guerilla warfare to the bitter
end consequently rests with Gen. Botha,
and those whom he was consulting. This
was the impression which Mr.. Chamber
lain clearly conveyed.
The ministerialiSts accepted Gen. Bo
tha's answer philosophically as a proof
leaders We're captured, says London
correspondent. and the Chancellor of the
Exchequer might as well pigeon hole his
more favorable budget and warn taxpay-
ers TO prepare for the worst. the sugar
duty us well as the increased income tax.
The pro-Boer Liberals. who are look
ing for strange revelations from Holland,
are predicting that Gen. Botha will have
a version of the negotiations quite diff
ferent from the one authorized by the
foreign office.

DEMOCRACY Reyives FeadiIx.

Unless great change has suddenly
come over the character of the Ameri-
can people, the present decentralization
of the opposition party affords not the
slightest indication of what its condi-
tion may be year or two years from
now. let alone four years. The quick
revivication of a defunct opposition Is
a familiar phenomenon in American
politics. The example afforded by the
Democratic party which rose immedi
ately from the crushing defeat of 1872
to successive and sweeping victories in
the elections of 1873. 1874 and 1876 has
been frequently pointed out.-Spring-

Army Appointment by "Pu,r."

The new army bill provides for the
appointment from civil life of about
900 lieutenants. These 600 lieutenants
will owe their commissions rather to
the skill and insistence of their politi-
cal sponsors than 10 any demonstrated
fitness of their own. Commissions in
the army ought never to be political
gifts. They should be open to all re-
gardless of political or social or per-
sonal influence. Military officers of the
United States should owe their COM
missions to their own merit alone. and
their allegiance solely TO the constitu-
ton and laws.-Rochester Herald.

PRICE OF WAR AND CONQUEST.

The total appropriations for military
and naval purposes made by the Re
publican Congress aggregate Si24.-
26J.2iS. This means that the head of
the average family of five persons must
pay this year about S2S as his SHARE of
the taxation necessary To meet this
military outlay. The New York World
quotes William Pitt as saying:
To levy a direct tax of per cent is
dangerous experiment in free coun-
try. and may excite revolt; but there is
a method by which you can tax the
last rag from the back. and the last bite
from the mouth without causing muir
mur against high taxes, and that is To
tax a great many articles of daily use
and necessity so Indirectly that the
people will pay them and not know it. J"
The men who are responsible for
these enormous appropriations act
upon the theory that because federal
taxation is not direct taxation the
American people will be slow to resent
ment. The Federal method of indirect
taxation is somewhat slow in reaching
the individual, or rather it should be
said that the individual Is somewhat
slow in realizing, but the burden exists
and the individual pays his proportion
of taxation although he does not read
lily recognize the burden. When we
see the government expending billions
Of dollars in nrHpr. n maintain n
American policies we do not realize
that someone must foot the-bill. We
do not seem to appreciate the fact that
money does not grow on trees. The
present administration appears to have
no concern for the value of money. and
it is squandering dollars at reckless
pace.-Bryan's Commoner.

Coming Te.t of the Republic.

In the fight for markets centralizn-

and when that Capitalization becomes
necessary to the men that control the

believe that they will not exert them
selves to the utmost to obtain it? 1t is
well enough 10 be optimistic, but 1t is

It's of No Cou.eque ice.

Since it has been demonstrated that
the interest of the Republican party in
an interoceanic canal was for campaign
purposes only. the final failure of the
treaty negotiated with Great Britain
attracts very little attention. The
treaty was ostensibly intended to fa-
cilitate the construction of the canal by
the United States. As those who are
now running the United States have no
immediate intention of undertaking
such work the attitude of Great
Britain is of no practical Importance
