HE WILL DO NOTHING.

1t is an unpleasant thought, but it is
entire career show to be fully warrant
ed, that President Roosevelt is not in
the slightest degree likely to be in
fuenced in his official action toward the
South African difficulty by any resoiu-
lions or speeches which may be pass
ed or made by any number of his coun-
trymen whatever.
T h e. G BE has reason to believe
that President Roosevelt personally SYM
pathizes very deeply with the heroic
Beers; he would be unworthy of the
blood Of generations of worthy Dutch
ancestors which is in his veins If he did
not. But his understanding of his obi-
cations as the chief ruler of this people
toward power with which this nation is
at peace will never permit him to take any
indication of the sympathy which he feels
or the horror with which he and every
| humane man outside of England and her
colonies must regard the prevailing con-
duct of the British military authorities
in South Africa.
The address of Mr. Cochran in Chicago,
English oratory, was replete with sound
argument and convincing figures Of
speech. The resolutions adopted are well

| occasion. There can be no doubt but
that the mass of the American people
/ regard England with an aversion, not
only concerning the Beers. but with
reference to her policy toward all people

financial interest, to affect national re-

ness or regard save among a small
fragment of Americans. That this feeling
ought at this time to find expression and
that the friends of the Boer nationality
should avail themselves of it to the limit
cannot be questioned. There is no use,
however, in placing any dependence what
ever on the personal dispositions in the
! premises of the president He is posI-
lively committed to the doctrine that
we shall not interfere in European con-

NO THANKS TO US.


Through the high intelligence of indi-
vidual men in both cities the people of
st. Paul. and Minneapolis have had brought
home TO them fron. time to time the folly
of the attitude which the cities have
borne toward each other in the past and
which to some extent is maintained to
this day. The recent interchange of views
in that behalf to which the public has
been treated through the action of the
two Commercial clubs has been effective
in reviving the subject
It does not really matter very much, If
at all, what Individuals in either city do
or think on this general subject. The eff
feet will no more be felt in the immedi-
ate future than it has been in the past

local attachment has been sufficient to in

his irrigation bill of last session with
