The South African War.

The latest phase in the war against the
Beers 10 South Africa is the proclama-
ton issued by Lord Kitchener, the gen.
eral commanding, threatening Danish.
ment and confiscation of property to all
burghers in the field on September LIST.
This new policy is the chief theme of
conversation and of leading writer's in
England. or course opinions vary but
there is little confidence expressed that
Kitchener's proclamation will have any
effect in the shortening of the campaign.
The New York Fribune's London
correspondent says:
The penalties imposed are not consid-
cred practical by the best informed men.
The menace of permanent Punishment
and distraint upon property will not be
likely to brighten the fighting Beers,
who have lost everything excepting their
rifles ard powder. Practical men are
asking how this proclamation can be
brought under the eyes Of the obstinate
burghers in the field before September,
and what induces the ministers to be.
lleNe lfidI IL VIII nave any OJner erect
than to prolong the cor fiict. There can
be no effective method of compelling the
men in arms to pay for the keep of their
families after that date, nor for enforcing
exile when the war is over. The new
policy is not criticised on the ground
that it is essentially inhumsne, but be.
cause it lacks common sense. The whole
policy of collecting the Boer families in
concentration camps has been open to
criticism as a measure for relieving the
cOmbatants from the necessity of feed
ing and caring for their families and
thereby prolonging the war. Now that
the general result is perceived, it is
sign of weakness for the Government to
imagine that the system can be aban-
doned and board money collected from
the obstinate burghers. Military men
do not hold General Kitchener RESPONSE
BILE for the proclamation, but assert that
the terms have been dictated from the
colonial office. They ridicule the idea
that the campaign can be brought to an
end by manifestoes, promises and
menaces, and contend that there is no
substitute for the work of wearing OUT
the enemy day by day and man by man.

Enforcement at Lewiston.

There has Of late been some excite
ment in the city government of Lewiston
over clash between the city marshal
and deputy marshal, and much interest
manifested In the enforcement of the
prohibitory law resulting In an order
being issued by the mayor and the police
committee directing officers.to do their
duty and shut up the rum shops. The
Lewiston Journal has been ready at all
times with solid arguments in favor of
this movement and we quote therefrom
the following;
1T Is true that had the Sheriff of this
county and the well-paid liquor deputies
who are legally provided to do this work,
discharged their sworn obligation, Lewis
ton would have escaped the disgrace of
technical anarchy which Is always full
of possibilities of actual anarchy; but it
is also true that, il between two stools
the public falls to the ground, the public
has its remedy-it is able to pick itself
up and make one stool efficient. And
this Is what seems to be happening. The
demand OF public opinion, outside those
cation, is obvious-and that demand is
that Lewiston as municipality cannot
afford to support the rum traffic and
thus outrage not only the statutes of
Maine but the legitimate industries of the
city as well as the homes Of the country
itself, many Of which are being ruined by
the grog-shop interest. 1t Is no reply to
argument that rum will be drunk any
hat yuii III
as whiskey Is distilled. While that Is
true, it is also equally true that men will
gamble and that the social evil will con-
tinue though the law be enforced-but
less for enforcement. There Is great
gain to moral sentiment to have it dis
tinctly understood that drunkenness is a
vice in law and that selling fluids to
make people drunk is crime in police
circles as we'll as In law and those who
engage in the traffic are against law as
we'll as against gospel and that no ex-
ecutive agent of the State, county or
ated In closing his eyes either in meta
phor or in fact.
The rumshops of Lewiston are now
closed; the curtains are drawn and the
law seems to be automatic. The same
grit and grace evinced constantly in the
powers sworn to enforcement will turn
these shops over to lawful industry and
social betterment. The public wants a
steady hand and consistent purpose to
make Lewiston good city--a city of
homes and city where law against
social evils is enforced. These evils will
be less in evidence as those who get rich
out of illicit enterprise are superseded by
those whose prosperity is based on bust
ness that increases wealth and promotes
its equitable distribution.

Affairs In Manila.

The annual report of Maj Gen. Mac
Arthur, dated July 4, 1901, the day he
relinquished command of the Depart
ment of the Philippines, has been receiv-
ed at the War Department. The period
covered by the report Is from Oct. l,
1900.
He reviews the policy of the Filipnos
who were hostile TO the Americans, say
ing that their action since the practical
collapse of the insurrection has been
perplexing problem. With the dsband-
ment of the insurgent field armies the
Filipinos organized desperate resistance
by banding the people together in sup
port of the guerrillas. This was carried
out by means Of secret committees, who
collected contributions, inflicted punish.
ments and carried on considerable op-
position 10 the Americans.
Gen. Macarthur reviews the manner
In which operations were carried on
against these guerrillas, and says he
hopes the policy adopted will In time
conciliate the natives and make them
friendly TO the United States. The edu-
cation of the people In times past made
them suspicious of any Governmental
beneficence, and they evidently looked
upon the ienient attitude of the United
States as indicating weakness.
He says that the proclamation issued
on Dec. 20, firmly declaring the intcn.
ton of the United States to hold the
islands and have the laws obeyed, had
good effect, and the secret resistance was
much abated.
A considerable portion of the report is
devoted to the field operations of the
| army, showing that on Oct. |, 1900, it
occupied Alb stations, which was of ne
cessity increased to SOP stations, every
command being In contact with some
hostile force. He speaks OF the good
! service of the army, and says as a result
OF the cooperation between the army
| and the people who have accepted the in
vitation to combine for mutual protect
| ion, the armed insurrection is almost
! suppressed.
General Macarthur gives the follow
| ing statistics from May 3, 1900, to June
30, 1901 during which time there were
| 1925 contacts between American troops
and insurgents), which show the cas-
ualties on both sides:
| Americans-Killed, 245; wounded, 400 {;
captured, lis; missing, 20.
| Insurgents-Killed, 2S54 wounded,
1888; captured, 6572; surrendered
%, 095
During the same period the following
material was captured or surrendered
from the Insurgents: Rifles, Is 693; rifle
ammunition, 296, 1865 rounds; revolvers,
SOS; bolos, 1916; cannon, l22; cannon
ammunition, 12,270 rounds.
Gen. Macarthur gives brief capitu-
lation of the conditions in different pro-
vinces and says that at present the
molding force in the islands must be a
we'll organized army and navy.

The Fight In Maryland.

The Maryland Republicans did well to
meet boldly the challenge offered by thu
Democratic proclamation Of purpose to
disfranchise the negroes, and to invite
the cooperation Of all fair-miuded men
In defeating it.
The issue presented IN Maryland prom
lses to give interest to a political season
which, so far at least as State contests
are concerned, seemed likely 10 be more
than usually dull. In the Southern
States, which led of in the policy Of dis
franchising the negroes, there was the
excuse Of large negro population. and
formidable body of illiterate negro vot-
ers, who were or might become menace
TO the public welfare. We do not ex-
cuse the means adopted, and we shall
never cease TO condemn the injustice OF
DISTINGUISHING negro iiliterates and al
lowing white illiterates to vote. But we
can understand the provocation which
existed, for example, in Louisiana and
Mississippi. But In Maryland there is
90 such excuse. The whites In Mary.
land outnumber the negroes more than
four to one. There never has been me
gro domination" in Maryland, and In the
nature Of things, there never can be.
The issue of negro disfranchisement,
which the Democrats, at Mr.. Germans
instigatioD, have raised, Is merely a
cover for Mr.. Germans schemes to Sc
cure complete and lasting control Of
State affairs. The negroes are to be dis
franchised, not because they are Hitter
ate. nor even because they are negroes
half so much as because they are, by rea-
son of their propensity for voting the
Republican ticket, barrier to the tri-
umph of Gormanism.
Here, then, are two issues, fair play
for the negro and confusion to German
ism, which can scarcely fail TO bring TO
the support of the Republican ticket the
whole body of independent Democrats
who have before fought German. The
Baltimore News, which represents these
Democrats, remarked, in anticipation of
the raising of this question
1T is a mischievoUs issue, and false
pretence, Participation by the negroes
in the right of suffrage has not had the
effect OF initiating against honest or pro
gressive government; and, on the other
hand, during the period OF twenty-five
years in which the German party organ
ization had practically undisputed con-
troll in the city and State, corruption
| tiourished, Encouragement prevailed,
extravaganza was unchecked, civic prog
ress was impossible, and our elections
were the regular occasion Of barefaced
dishonesty and outrageous violence"
II the fair-minded, intelligent and con-
scientous voters of Maryland, of both
parties, cannot beat the German machine
on these issues, the State must be ire.
coverably lost to decent and honest poll.
tics. But for ourselves, we look to see
Gormanism inferred so deep that it will
not rise again.-Boston Journal.

astonishing permanent effect on the
health and spirits of visitors, and
especially Ia this so in the case of those
from that part of the country near the
level of the sea.

Decision on Drinking Clubs.

A full bench decision was handed down
by the law court Saturday, overriding
the exceptions OF the defendant in the
case of w. Scott Pratt of Westbrook
who was found guilty of maintaining a
liquor nuisance in that city at the last
term of the superior court.
Pratt was treasurer of a drinking club
and jantor of the headquarters and when
the place was raided by deputy sherif1's,
WAS arrested on charge of maintaining
a liquor nuisance. His defence in the
superior court was that the club room
was not public nuisance and was open
only to members who secured their liq-
uor through the agency of the treas
urer and drank it on the premises.
Pratt's counsel requested the Judge to
charge the jury TO that effect, but the
Judge refused. In his charge he said :
"If people resort to this place and drink
liquor there or IL liquor was distributed
among them by the man in charge or
ANYBODY in a way not provided by law,
then the place was common nuisance"
Pratt's counsel took exception to the
charge and carried the case to the law
court. 80 -.--- 7ItE1--...
