Some of these statements are open

may, plucky England faces the task
and at enormous expense conducted
a war on a distant field under cir
cumStances Of modern warfare to the
end. She saved her South African
empire, which Gladstone might have
preserved twenty years ago at small
expense, but in England as else
where foresight is never equal to
hindsight.
England retains intact South At
RIGA, and she has on hand a quarter
of a million Of hardy, trained SOL
diers. She has a~scertained, too, that
a body of officers selected from an
a%ristocracy limited in number means
almost endless disasters, and her
! system of selection is to be changed.
Heavy as the bill is, England will
probably come out the gamer in the
long run. She is almost as strong
now for battle on land in modern
warfare as she is on the sea, and nc
nation will be apt to provoke her tc
combat while her hardy soldiers
from South Africa are in fighting
condition.

THE END OF THE SOUTH AT
RICAN WAR.

Peace has come at last to the dis
tressed and oppressed Beers. Brave
to the last degree and stubborn be-
yond all precedent, they have waged
a hopeless war, and yet no doubt
they have secured terms under
which they a live comfortably,
even if some of the dreams of their
leaders must go unfulflled. These
leaders were carried off their feet by
the war sentiment of the Beers,
which sprung partly from the ease
with which they crushed DIR. ssJim,o
and partly from the resources which
over taxationsof the Rand gave them.
Whatever their political mistakes
may have been, they won glory in
defeat, which is one of the hardest
tasks set before men in this world.
All the world will hereafter honor
the brave people that battled nearly
three years against overwhelming
odds, both in men and in resources.
The war was begun in November,
1899, and these statements have been

Peace having come between the
British and the Beers, all the world
will go unarmed save in the Philip
pines. For a protocol has been ar
ranged between Chilli and Argentina,
which provides for compulsory arbi-
tration of the difficulties that had
arisen between these two prosperous
and progressive South American re-
publics. The questions involved re-
late alike to the Peru-BOlivia dispute
over the nitrate provinces and their
seaports, and to the boundary line
between Chilli and Argentina. Ar
gentina accepts the status quo in the
former case, and the latter is to be
settled by arbitration. Both repub-
lies r to stop preparing for war and
neither is to fortify the Straits of
Magellan. Thus a conflict in the
best port of South America is
averted.
If now the door of Janus is to be
flung wide open in South Africa, and
Boer and Briton are to dwell to-
gether in peace and unity as they
have long done in Cape Colony and
Natal, then will be peace the world
round save in the Philippines, and
the situation in that populous archi-
pelagO is anything but promising.
All signs now point to a long strug-
gle-one, too, that will be very eX
pensive both in respect to life and tC
treasure. The stubborn Malays dc
not propose to become Americans
They desire independence. We pro
pose to make them colonists, and the
issue is to be fought out.
The world will o hold no othel
theatre Of war, and the world viii
have opportunity therefore to con
slider and study the effort of a repub
lie in e~nslaving a distant and strange
people. Why a republic should dc
this is the curious political problem
of the day. How it can do IL, is the
business of the present admins
tration.
The Philippine question is rising
in importance, for it is seen that il
involves the keeping there Of a large
standing army, and that complete
pacifcation of the almost amounted
islands is well nigh impossible. Some
of the islands are filed with a Mos.
lem population, and not one of them
has a trait or a feature that can ever
be assimilated. The people Out
there are not Americans, and there
are ten millions Of them, more OF
less.
It seems impossible to concentrate
public opinion upon the Philippine
problem, but when all the rest OF
the world is at peace perhaps peo-
pie in this country will stop long
enough to consider what we are
doing in the islands and how we are
doing it.
