South Africa.

In accepting a sword in London yesterday.
presented in the name of Cape Town. Lord
Kitchener said:
You may assure yourselves that you
have nothing less than the makings OF
new America in the southern hemisphere
This way of stating the case should have
an excellent effect both in England and In
South Africa. In the one country 1t should
promote caution. generosity and farsighted-
ness in dealing with a distant colony, and
in the Other ambition, unity and progress
in whatever relates to the local welfare.
England lost America, as England herself
we'll understands today. through misgov-
ernment and a failure to appreciate the
growth and deserts of her people beyond
the sea. They were stronger and more ca
pabIe than she was willing to concede. And
America was enabled to throw off the yoke
when it had become intOlerable by virtue of
the unity of her effort and the outside SYM
pathy and assistance which her courage
ELECTED.
There are philosophic historians who
maintain that England could not much long
er have continued her hold on America no
matter how liberal her policy might have
been: that destiny and the laws of power
were at work. and that sooner or later
1ree America would nave Deen lHeNlldDlt
This does not, however. excuse the folly of
the policy of Lord North. which. even If We
accept such view of the case, made sepa-
ration matter for the sword instead of for
peaceable negotiations
And so III the case of South Africa. Eng
land owes to her colony the best of laws
and opportunity even if in granting them
she contributes to the organization sooner
or later of a great independent power in
that quarter of the world. Lord kttchener's
reference of course was merely to the great
wealth and resources of the new colony.
He compares them to what America had to
show in the days of her colonial existence.
But the likeness may go beyond that. a
real republic of splendid proportions may
rise In South Africa and dominate POLITICAL
ly that continent as the United States does
this. Cecil Rhodes, it was thought, cher
ished such a dream; and it is admitted that
his conceptions were not only large but
accurate. He knew South Africa and the
whole Of Africa Is no other man did.
Wide attention just now is turned in that
direction Euglands task is very difficult
and It can only be successfully executed
by an adherence to broad principles.

Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Roosevelt

The following is from the esteemed Balti-
more News:
The truth Is. that Cleveland was not a
poAtcal failure, but an almost unparalleled
political success; that his defiance Of the
potiticlans resulted not in his defeat but
IN TWO successive denominations marked
by the most signal and conspicuous nronfs
or his enemies impotence: and that he
succumbed at last not TO their hostility but
70 eaEerse circumstances Of the most un-
usual KIND. and such as can furnish no basis
Tor a warning to others in circumstances
wholly unlike them. If Mr. Roosevelt is
70 be told to learn anything from the case
OF Mr. Cleveland, IL is that II q President
be but faithful and strong and steady and
sincere and sober, he can afford to smile
al 1acJtiouS opposition, because the peonIe
VIII imperiously brush it aside when the
time comes for matching his strenpt h
against that OF his intriguing enemies
This IS eulogy at the expense of history.
Mr.. Cleveland owed all three of his nomi-
nations for the presidency 20 the politicians.
The first was secured by a coterie of AL
bany managers. headed by Daniel Manning,
one Of Mr.. Tiiden's ables, pupils At st.
Louis. where the second nomination was
made. the hotels had trouble IN housing the
politicians. who crowded the town singing
-Four years more of Grover" The third
nomination was secured by those politicians
headed by Mr.. Whitney, who had been pow
erful under Mr.. Cleveland's first administra-
ton Never did politicians work harder for
any man than for Mr.. Cleveland during the
whole twelve years of his authority In his
party's councils.
To say that Mr. Cleveland was IAN al
most unparalleled political success is to
misemploy term which has a very plain
meaning. He led an attack on silver which
resulted IN his party making silver the su-
preme issue In 1896. After qualifying In his
letter of acceptance the tariff plank of the
free trade platform Of 1892 he denounced
those democrats in Congress who did the
same thing in the preparation of tarif
bill. And when he quilted the White House

"Out Of the Mouth of Babes"

The story from Warsaw, through the
medium of interviews with local residents
of this city, contained in yesterdays Star,
to the effect that an infant prophet had
uttered a most remarkable forecast in that
city, not be lightly dismissed however
great the strain upon the credulity. Only
by casting doubt upon the veracity of the
priest who received the prophetic utterance
of the babe in secret is it possible to justi-
fy skepticism, despite the apparent impossi-
bility of the tale, for it comes from
various sources in letters the sincerity and
authenticity of which can not be ques-
toned Nor does the story, as tod, rest
entirely upon the rabbits account, for it ap-
pears that the infant astounded both an
elder child and the mother by uttering dis
tnct sentences. one of which was de-
mand that the priest be summoned. Super
stition and credulity may have been played
upon for the purpose of awakening a re-
ligious fervor, but from any point of view
the incident is strange and suggestive. The
war of the powers has eluded elder and
wiser prophets than this Russian infant 1t
was never less an apparent possibility than
today. Europe is blessed with better in
ternational feeling than for many years
past. Emperors and kings are fraternizing
I
formal agreements for offense and defense.
No issues await adjustment. But that con-
dition need not shake the faith of the cred
ulouS in the alleged announcement of
this infant Ezekiel for it is one of the un-
happy facts of history that great wars Of
ten arise from sudden causes while estab-
Lshed differences between nations are usual
ly the least potent factors for the breaking
of the peace. So wholly reasonable is the
forecast in the light of Europes record for
bloodshed that 1t might be accepted as
plausible but for it's heavy. almost prohibit
tive drain upon the credulity of the intelli-
gent. 1t will of course cause no tightening
of buckles, no polishing of guns, no laying
in of extra supplies. Europe Is today prac
tically on a war footing and nothing could
precipitate the taking of unusual precau-
tions short of an actual breach of the peace
or a fragrant violation of treaties writing
war" large upon the horizon. Neyerthe-
less so constituted is the human mind that
the peace-loving to whom this tale from
Warsaw may come will probably watch the
passing of the next twelve months with
grave anxiety.

In Stamford Conn.,, the sound of the
lawn mower disturbs the rest of the citi-
zens at night. Accordingly the authorities
are requested to frame a regulation prohib-
iting the use of the grass cutting machine
between the hours of p. m. and a. m.
Stamford Is the home of large number of
commuters" who rush into New York
Immediately after early breakfast and
do not return until or o'clock in the
evening. 1t would seem that public senti-
ment does not propose to permit these un-
fortunates to enjoy the luxury of well trim
med lawns. But it is a question between
neat turf for few and unbroken rest
for the many 1t is possible to sympathize
with both sides. but In the last analysis it
must be acknowledged that there is hardly
more penetrating sound than the hum Of

Civic Beauty.
From the Baltimore American.

A movement which has crystaliized In
the shape of public improvement leagues is
now well under way in various parts Of the
country, and 1t Is a gratifying fact that
civic beauty is now regarded as a thing
well worth striving for. In various small
towns and villages these Improvement
leagues have fairly revolutionized the as
pect OF things, and a look Of prosperity and
beauty has come to take the former place
Of neglect, barrenness and dirt. These
leagues endeavor to foster individual taste
In the communities In which they are es-
tablished by offering prizes for the best
Kept gardens or the neatest fronts, while
they bend all their energies upon infI,lencinr
the public authorities in favor of clean and
smooth streets, well-kept parks and the
planting of trees along the public highways.

An Universal Genius.

Good for you,
Mister WI!
They've been taught thing or two
Your big country has at last
Learned to prize your learning vast,
They will not lop off your head.
They will raise your pay, instead.
Where, pray tell, could China find
Such another master mind?
Would you have a two-step danced
Or waltz discreetly pranced?
Would you have a proper speech
From an oratoric peach?
Would you find with proper pride
All your laws well codified?
Who
Will do
These things for you
Half so we'll as Mister WI?
Give him then,
Oh Cinnamon,
Precious gifts and gifts again.
Give him buttons by the score
And new Jackets, three or four;
Bid him stay and learn to knit
Orient grace with western grit.
Even though he couldn't quite
Ope our gates to meet the flight
OF your coolies who in droves,
Armed with washboards, tubs and stoves
Long to leave no further cheer
For our washerwomen here.
Some day you
VIII own that few
Could have done as we'll as WI.

Political, Not Religious.
From the Indianapolis News.

1t seems to us that Catholic prelates gen
orally could with propriety and profit let
the frlar question alone. The head of the
church will be fully informed of our move
ments in the Philippines. For it's clergy to
begin an agitation on this subject here will
strike the unprejudiced sense as unwise,
as 1t will give complexion thereto that
does not properly belong to it. We are
in no sense in antagonism to the Catholic
Church in the Philippines or anywhere else.
We are as friendly to it there as to Pro-
testants. The friar question in the Philip
pines Is an economic and political, not q re-
ligious one. No one impeaches the Catholi-
cism Of Filipinos, just as no one denies
their bitter and undying hostility to the
friarS.

The Mob Rules.

An outbreak of passion in Virginia yes
terday caused an unnecessary tragedy,
violation of the law, a crime against civili-
cation and a step backward in the progress
of the commonwealth. a man suspected of
murder, a despicable murder, to be sure,
but no worse than thousands of crimes of
the same class, had been hunted for sev
eral days. and was finally caught. There
was only circumstantial evidence against
him, strong, perhaps, but not substantiate ted
by actual proof. He was a bad chara cter
had been convicted Of arson and theft, had
been heard to threaten the dead man, was
sen In the vicinity OF the crime just prior
to it, had fed Immediately after the event
just as there was strong reason to suspect
him, there was likewise reason why he
might have fled even though innocent
realizing in his stupid fashion that he
would be suspected and pursued, and per-
haps lynched without a chance for his life
That is one of the gravest dangers in the
mob-law system. 1t demoralizes the inno-
cent and renders them subject to panic
At all events, the man was only sus-
pected. and when caught he denied the
crime. It IS altogether likely that If tried
by due process of law he would have been
promptly convicted and executed. The mob

Iowa and Reciprocity.
From the New York Tribune.

The straightforward declaration upon
Cuban reciprocity which was adopted with
out dissenting vote by the Iowa republi-
can convention is another significant indi-
cation Of the temper and desire Of the re-
publican party upon that supbject. 1t is
another confirmation Of the opinion which
we have consistently expressed in these
columns that the party is overwhelmingly
in favor of the Presidents reciprocity pol
Icy, and that it means to rebuke unmis-
takably those Of it's members who, in off,

Several years ago when the votes were

John Donovan of Bay" This rhythmic
cognomen lent itself readily to songs and
for a time 1t seemed as though the solitary
democrat would acquire fame beyond the
state lines. But the session was short. and
naturally a minority of one has small
show In a legislative body. So John Dono-
van Of Bay, not being restored the next
year to his legislative prominence. sank into
the obscurity of the commonplace. Yester-
day the Michigan democrats, grateful for
the dignity and the capacity with which he
bore their name above the wave of next to
total defeat in the year Of the great cata
clysm, rendered an accounting to John
Donovan of Bay and nominated him to be
secretary of state There may be no more
than honor in the choice, but 1t serves its
best purpose. 1t Is all that the democracy
Of the wolverine state can do at present
The people must do the rest With this
spirit behind him John Donovan of Bay
may yet be heard from in the national field.
