All England is rejoicing that peace
has been established in South Africa.
Yet there are grumblers who insist
that England has obtained merely a
peace, while the Beers have carried
off all the honors. One concession
is very important. The Beers sur
render their idea of an independent
nation and their relation to England
will be similar to that of Canada
to the mother country. The war
has cost Great Britain $3.50, 00O,-
900, or at the rate of $4,000, 900 a
month. This seems like horrible
waste of the public treasure, and
could have been avoided with better
management on both sides. One
thing which particularly please the
Beers is they are not to pay one
cent of indemnity towards the vast
sum which Great Britain has ex-
pended. The appropriation of $15,-
900, 900 to rebuild the farmhouses
and restock the plantations with
cattle, will soon efface all traces of
the war in South Africa. President
Kruger will claim $250,000 damages
to his farms and plantations. For
tunately England is rich and she
can pay all the bills. Lord Kitchener
has managed the war with such
signal ability and such prudent FORE
sight that he will not only be Great
ed an Earl. but Parliament will
grant him monetary gift of $500,
600. King Edward has telegraphed
his congratulations in behalf of the
British Empire to Lord Kitchener
and Lord Miller, and now the Kings
coronation can be celebrated with
the assurance that peace prevails
throughout the greatest empire of
ancient or mordern times. Milwau-

Nebraska city Tribune: The
scarcity of meat continues there is a
steady advance going on in the price
of all kinds of provisions of this sort.
At first there was talk of a beef
trust which was deliberately and
maliciously advancing the price of
their staple to the injury. of the
consumer. This explanation how
ever did not long satisfy the inves-
tigator. There may be a beef trust
but there is a deeper seated cause
than this for the high prices now
prevailing. The difficulty goes back
as far as the cattle raiser. It may
be that the dealers were forced to
com bine in the so called beef trust
for self protection in order to take
concerted action under this new
order Of things. Every report that
comes from the west is that it is
harder now to raise cattle than it
ever was before and as the country
settles and is planted with crops and
groves Of trees and cut up by rail
roads and highways it is bound to
be increasingly difficult to handle
cattle on a large scale in the old
manner. The range" is or soon
will be thing Of the past Great
herds of cattle cannot ruin forever
over the western United States any
more than the great herds of buffalo
could. 1t may be that the thing
will simply come to a change in our
diet. We have been used to eating
meat at any and all times. No other
nation on earth has had such unlim-
tied supplies of meat for food as we
have. IT NAV be that this condition

Kansas City Journal: Represent
alive James D. Richardson, leader of
the minority in the lower house of
congress, declares that the demo-
Gratis will make imperialism" the
issue in 1904. It will be necessary
for the democrats to have an issue
in 1904, of course, and it is all right
for them to be casting around for
one even two years before their
platform will be framed. All the
time between now and the meeting
of the national conventions will be
required to find a plausible one,.
and the probability is that the time
will be too short for the purpose
It is possible also that nothing
better will present itself for cam
paign purposes than the issue Mr..
Richardson selects. But if that is
true, the democratic party is in des-
perate straits, indeed. It might
almost as we'll put free silver to the
front again. In fact, the odds are
rather in favor of free silver as
against ''imperialims. True, silver
was over whelmingly defeated when
it was made the paramount issue in
1896, but the democratic defeat was
more disastrous still when ''imper-
ialism" was made paramount four
years later. Estimating by the size
of the respective reverses, free
silver would be the more promising
choice for the next contest.

one man who has come out Of the
war with increase Of reputat ion.
Lord Roberts sweep through the
enemy's country from Kimberley to
Ble1nfontein and Pretoria was an
admirable military tour de force;
but it did not end the war, as the
old soldier believed it would, and as
he declared it had done. The oper-
ations Of Kitchener were less snowy,
but the inference to be drawn from
their success is that they we're the
most appropriate for meeting the
tactics Of the best guerrillas the
word has produced. Finis coronat
opus.
Lord Kitchener has achieved a
greater triumph, however. He has
not only beaten the Beers, but he
has gained their confidence and
esteem. He would be a mean spirited
individual who should derive more
qualification from grant of money
and an earldom than from such
tribute of praise from a brave and
honest foo as Kitchener received
after the conference at ssVereening-
ing. Honorable and generous"
we're the words whereby Botha
and the formidable De Wet character
lied the conduct of the British COM
mander. The satisfaction expressed
by the incoming Beers at the good
care taken of the burgher families
in the refugee camps (where after
the initial confusion everything
seems to have gone well) deprives
Kitchener's villifers of their last
weapon.

THE WATER CURE. -
A Soldier Back from the Philip
pines Tells About It.
Victims Hands Are Tied and He Is Held
Under q Faucet Until He Is Glad to
Tell All the Americans Want
to Knox.

Washington, April 1.-THE senate
committee OF the Philippines Monday
began making an investigation of the
charges to the effect that the water
cure, so-called, is practiced on the
insurgents and Charles S. Riley, OF
Northampton, Mass, formerly a SER
geant in company NJ, Twenty-sixth
volunteer infantry, was the first wit
ness called. Mr.. Riley said that he
had been in the Philippines from Oc-
tober 25, 1899, to March 4, 1901. In
reply to questions by Senator Raw
Inns he said he had witnessed the
water cure" at Igbaras in the prov
ince of IloiIo on November 27, 1900.
1t was administered to the presidente
or chief Filipino official of the town.
He said that upon the arrival of his
command at Igbaras the presidente
was asked whether runners had been
sent out notifying the insurgents OF
their presence and that upon his re-
fusal to give the information he was
taken into the convent where the wit
ness was stationed and the water
cure was administered to him. When
he (the witness), first saw him he was

vent, stripped to the waist and his
hands tied behind him, with Capt.
Glenn and Lieut.. Conger, of the reg
uIar army, and DR.. Lyons, contract
surgeon standing near, while many
soldiers stood about. The man, he
said, was thrown under a water tank
which held about 100 gallons of wa
ter and his mouth placed directly I'M
der the faucet and held open so as
to compel him to swallow the water
which was allowed to escape from the
tank When at last the presidente
agreed to tell what he knew he was
released and allowed to start away.
He was not, however, permitted to
escape, and upon refusing to give
further information, he was again
taken as he was about to mount his
horse and the cure administered for
the second time. He still refused and
handful of salt was thrown into
the water. This had the desired effect
and the presidente agreed to answer
all questions.

ARE TALKING TO KRUGER.
BOer Leaders in South Africa Ask Leave
to Consult Their Old Chief as to
Peace Terms.

London, April 15.-Replying in the
house of commons Monday to the
liberal leader, Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman, who asked whether any
terms of peace had been suggested
by the Boer leaders in South Africa,
the government leader, A. j. Balfour,
said it was impossible at present to
say more than that message had
been received Saturday from the BoeF
leaders through Lord Kitchener, and
that reply had been sent to them.
Further communication was expected.
1t is said that the communication
of the Boer leaders to Lord Kitchener
amounted to little more than a re-
quest for permission to use the cable
in consulting Mr.. Kruger and the
Boer delegates in Europe regarding
a basis for a peace settlement. There
is distinctly hopeful feeling in Off
cial quarters.

POLITICS IS SECONDARY.
The President Determined to Have the
Highest Type of ORciaIs for
Indian Agents.

Washington, April ia topic of
discussion at Tuesdays cabinet meet
ing was certain of the Indian agencies
where vacancies are occurring or bid
fair to occur. The administration
feels that in the case of an Indian
agent it is peculiarly incumbent upon
it to have the highest type of official
and that political considerations must
be wholly secondary. Important
though other offices in the far west
ern states may be, that the Indians
are to a large degree helpless makes
the administration feel that they
must have the highest type of Off.
Gals to supervise their interests.

MALVAR GIVES up
The Insurgent General with His
Force Surrenders.
Great Credit Given to Gen. Bell for His
Conduct OF the Campo gn-The PeO-
pie of Manila Dell :hted at the
Publication.

Manila, April 17.-Gen. Malvar has
Internationally surrendered to Brig.
Gen. Bell, at Lipa, Batangas prov
ince, with the entire insurgent force
of the provinces of Laguna and Ba-
tangas. Gen. Bell says his (BelI's)
influence is sufficient to quell the in
surrectionary movements in Tayabas
and Cavite provinces and capture ali
those in the field who have not vet
surrendered, but Malvar has ordered
the complete surrender of every in
surgent to the nearest American
force. Gen. Wheaton, reporting to
the division headquarters, says
that all resistance in his depart
ment has ended and that the sur
renders just announced mean that
the ports will be opened and that the
Fiipinos in the detention camps can
not be allowed to return to their
homes in time to plant the crops.
After securing the mountain passes
Gen. Bell employed volunteer bolo-
men for protection against ladrone-
ism. Numbers of Filipinos volun-
teered and expressed the Hveliest
satisfaction at the treatment accord
ed to themselves and to their fami-
lies who were in the concentration
camps. Gen. Wheaton gives Gen. Bell
great credit for his indefatigability
in conducting the campaign. He was
in the field, on horseback, day and
night personally experimenting the
most arduOus operations.
The people of Manila are delighted
at the prospect of resumption of
trade with the pacifed provinces and
are anxious to show Gems. Chaffee,
Wheaton and Bell their appreciation
of the fact that the insurrection is
really over.
About $500 rifles have been received
by the American officers in Batangas
and Laguna provinces during the
past four months. Gen. Malvar per-
sonally requested an interview with
Gen. Bell in order to make his COM
plete submission.
