PARIS. Nov. 1.-The Beers generals
have received ovations in Paris and
Berlin, but very little money has been
forthcoming. don't know whether
they are acting on the advice Of Mr..
Kruger and DR.. Leyds or on their own
responsibility. IN the latter case I cam
not help thinking that they are better
on the field of battle than on the field
Of diplomacy. They must know that.
In all the countries they are visiting
and intend to visit. the people sided
with the Beers in their heroic struggle
to defend their liberty and keep their
independence. The result is that they
receive ovations from those people.
which practically amounts to nothing
but manifestations Of Anglo-phobla.
England naturally takes umbrage ae
these manifestations and comes to tho
conclusion that the Beers are adopting
very strange tactics for the settling OF
the South African difficulties
The Beers have sued for peace and
have obtained it on decidedly generous
terms. They express the wish to live
amicably with their new rulers
Now that the war Is over. the Eng-
lish recognize what brave and honorable
foes they have fought and conquered.
and 1t is their firm wish. as it is their
interest. to do all they can to win over
the good wilt, II not the affection. OF
those new recruits TO the British fold
1t Is especially their interest to sac tho
Beers reinslated In their farms, WELL
to-do and contented.
Now this object viii not be attained
by Frenchmen and Germans bowling
themselves hoarse. crying. Long live
the Beers" and Down with the Eng
fish, but by self-government given to
the Beers by the English. and grants
of money given to them either by the
sEnSi sh Government or by those most
interested in the welfare OF the Beers:
that is to say. by the English. the rich
est people In Europe.
therefore question the wisdom OF
the three heroes OF the late war. ana
this out OF sympathy for the Beers.
Very few of us care to see strangers
mixed with our own private affairs, the
English least OF all, and our generals
are particularly ill-advised in trying.
as it were. to put pressure on England
through appeals to Boer Independence /,

and In America.
