FRIENDSHIP AFTER PEACE.

The Beers are showing a spirit in
peace which commends them as strongly
to the admiration and respect of the
world as did their herolsm in war. When
the peace terms had been signed the
Boer leaders addressed IA letter to the
burghers in which they said: Casting
aside all feeling of bitterness, let us
learn to forget and forgive, so that the
deep wounds caused by this war may
be healed" They are acting in the spirit
of this admonitiOn. Generals BOtha and
Dewet have declared that they had sub
mitted in good faith and that with toll
Grant administration Great Britain could
hereafter depend upon the loyalty and
fidelity of the Beers. Dewet, speaking
to the inmates of a Concentration
camp, urged the burghers to do their
utmost to show Great Britain
what good ~colonists the Beers can
make. Other expressions of Il like
character have come from the leaders
and dispatches have stated that the Eng
lish soldiers and the burghers were
uSuILliy lldlcl ulhluS anu luuI lHt III
rival Of commandos for surrender and
their reception by the British resem-
bled huge picnics.
A Pretoria dispatch says that the only
bitterness observable among the leading
Beers there is against France and Ger
many, they declaring that the war was
protracted unnecessarily owing to hopes
held out by the French and German
press. 1t was a very great wrong to
those brave people to hold out to them
baseless assurances, as was done in
Europe, and it is not surprising that
they feel bitter resentment toward those
who misled them. Great in war the
Beers promise to show that in peace
they can be equally worthy Of the
worlds esteem.

ELECTION OF SENATORS.
Hostile Attitude of the senate suE-
gests Another Course.
American.

Baltimore American.
The senate having definitely turned down
the resolution Of the house proposing to
the states a constitutional amendment for
the election Of senators by the people, the
advocates of this change will now have
to turn their attention to the states. II
was Utmost a foregone conclusion that the
senate would not regard the proposition
with favor. The individual senator's hold
their seats by an entirely different tenure.
md, though a number OF them would prob
ably retain them II the amendment be-
came a law, even they may feel doubtful,
while some OF them would unquestion-
ably fare badly at the polls. They are
evidently not inclined to take any chances.
The object Of those who favor the change
in the method Of e~lecting senators is not
blocked by the hostile attitude of the sen
ate. They can pursue their missionary
work before the state legislatures. A num-
Der Of the latter have already voted in
favor of the amendment; that is, they have
asked congress to take action. which is
substantial compliance with the constitu-
ton. II two-thirds OF the states can be
persuaded TO ask congress to call a con-
stitutional convention the object can be
attained. The senate is a great stickler
for constitutionality, and one Of the argu-
ments made by Senator Hoar against the
amendment is that It conflicts with the
balance of the constitution. II, therefore,
the necessary number Of states ask for a
convention the senate will be obliged to
grant the demand. The constitution is man
datory on the subject, and requires con-
gress to act, and a bare majority will
suffice. 1t would then be necessary for
three-fourths of the states to ratify the
conventions action.
Senator Hoar's contention has been
adopted by some newspapers, but there
does not seem to be anything In 1t. Even
were such an amendment, as he says,
to conflict with other parts Of the con-
stitution. the people under the latter
would have an absolute right to make
It If they followed the directions Of that
instrument concerning amendments. The
question of conflict would be one for the
courts to decide, the last expression of the
constitutional will OF the people taking
precedence of former expressions. But the
senator, in his zeal, appears to have be-
come needlessly alarmed. A state is a state,
whether its will is expressed directly by
the people or by the representatives to
whom they have delegated the expression
OF their wishes. This idea of clarifying a
state as some abstract thing above and be-
yond the people who make the state has
become far too common. II is un-American
and more opposed to the language Of spirit
of the constitution than the election OF
senator's simply by popular vote, instead
of by the complicated machinery, which
the state-the aggregate of people-has Sc
lected to carry on the public administra-
ton.

ENTERTAINING The KING.

The entertainment of King Edward
by Ambassador Choate was an event of
some international interest, but it is not
clear that it possessed any such signif-
icance as is implied in the reported com
ment of foreign diplomats, that 1t was
the greatest triumph ever won for Amer
lean prestige in England. On the part of
King Edward 1t was, indeed, an excep-
tiOnal courtesy, pleasing as an express
sion of the friendly feeling of the Brit
ish sovereign toward the United States
a feeling, by the way, he has always
manifested-but its influence upon
American prestige will not be very
great, for the reason that kingly atten-
ton or consideration is at present of
less consequence than in the past. 1t
was creditable to Edward to attend the
dinner, where 1t appears he enjoyed him
self and acted with commendable free
dom and cordiality, which should in
crease his claim to the respect and good
opinion of his cOuntrymen.
American interest in the coronation
of King Edward is not very general or
very strong. A large number of our
people doubt the propriety of the gov
eminent being represented by a special
embassy. Yet there is no doubt that a
great majority of Americans earnestly
desire the cultivation of friendly rela-
tions with England and are gratined
with whatever properly conduces to this.
There is every reason to believe that
this feeling Is heartily r~eciprocated by
Englishmen and the king as their rep
resentative has improved this opportu-
nifty to show it in a way that all the
world must take notice of. Properly
considered, therefore, the entertainment
of the British sovereign by the Amer
lean ambassador is an interesting Incl
lent in which the countrymen Of both
may find cause for qualification.

THE LAND-LEAsiSe SCHEME.

One of the issues that is likely to be
brought before the republican state con-
vention is the policy Of leasing Of public
lands IN the semi-arid region. The
large cattle range owners will insist
upon a plank in the platform in favor of
the scheme by which public lands are to
be leased at a nominal price in large
tracts for grazing purposes. They will
support this proposition on the ground
that the greater part Of the public do
main not yet occupied by homesteaders
is unfit for cultivation and can be util-
lied only for grazing purposes excepting
where a regular water supply can be
secured through irrigation.
The opponents Of this. plan for dispos-
ing of the public lands will contend that
the 2-cent-per-acre land-leasing scheme
is designed to foster land monopoly and
would eventually crowd out all small
stock raisers. This was doubtless the
reason why the Bowersock bill, which
embodied the land-leasing plan advo-
Gated by the large cattle owners, did not
find favor with the present congress.
From the purely dollar and cent point
of view the scheme might be of imme-
diate advantage to the state by enlarg-
ing the field Of operations for capitalists
disposed to embark in the cattle raising
industry on a large scale. 1t is doubtful,
however, whether the state would in the
end be the gamer. The concentration of
the cattle industry In the hands of a few
big corporations would inevitably de-
prive the state of the benefits of coloni-
zation by men of moderate means. In
stead of promoting the settlement of
western Nebraska, it would retard and
arrest population growth. Instead of
home owners and home builders, mil
lions Of acres would be occupied by
hired herders and a few overseers and
superintendent. The leasing of the pub
lie domain would also permanently eX-
clude from taxation these lands, which,
If acquired by settlers or home owners,
would contribute toward the main
tenance of local and state government.
When the convention ONE to give
this subject serious consideration 1t will
doubtless hesitate to express itself in
favor of any scheme that would foster
land monopoly and tax evasion.

SURPRISING DISCLOSURE.

The statement made before the senate
committee on Cuban relations regarding
the use Of money taken from the Cuban
treasury for the purpose Of promoting
reciprocity was a surprising disclosure
and also a somewhat disturbing n to
the advocates of granting a tariff re-
duction on Cuban products. 1t is not
astonishing that 1t caused some sensa-
ton In the senate and while the reci-
procity supporters assert that it does not
affect the merits Of the question as to
what the United States should do for
Cuba, there is no doubt that 1t will
exert more or less influence In congress
and the country adverse to the reel
procity proposition.
The money taken out of the Cuban
treasury was paid for the circulation
of literature advocating tariff conces-
sions to Cuba, which was issued under
the auspices of the United States Export
association. That this application Of
such funds vas illegitimate and i'm
proper we think there can be no ques-
ton. The American military authori-
ties in Cuba should have had nothing
whatever to do with the question OF
trade relations. When General Wood
was asked for a statement of industrial
conditions in the island and for his opin-
lon as to what should be done by this
country. 1t was his duty to comply, but
there can be no justification for divert
ing money from the Cuban treasury to
promote reciprocity sentiment. The
conclusive evidence that this was done
by authority OF General Wood shows
that for once his zeal outran his dis
erection, assuming, of course, that he
alone was responsible. Another point
in connection with this disclosure is that
the Sugar trust contributed to the dis.
tribution Of the reciprocity literature, but
there had been previous testimony show
ing the activity OF the trust In this re
spect. Others besides Mr.. Thurber OF
| the Exporters association had received
money from Mr.. Havemeyer, president
OF the trust. for efforts to create senti
ment IN favor OF tariff concessions t.

The facts disclosed In the statemen.
Omaha daily bee., 1902-06-13

before the senate committee show what
extraordinary zeal has been manifested
in behalf of the Cuban sugar and to-
bacco interests and how great has been
the influence which the friends Of the
American beet sugar industry have had
to combat. They have been ~antagonized
by the Sugar trust, the United States
Export association and the American
authorities in Cuba, the latter not con
tent with advocating concessions, but
using money collected for administering
the affairs of the island for promoting
a policy believed by many of our people
to be hostile to important American in
dustries. 1t seems impossible that a
knowledge of these facts can fail to
make a very strong impression upon
the country adverse to the plan of reel
procity, which has not recently been
gaining supporters.

Plans are incubatlng to construct in
reach of New York harbor the largest
dry dock in the world, affording facili-
ties for large ocean vessels that are not
now to be had on this side of the At
lantic. II our shipping interests are to
be built up, dockage must be accessible
when repairs are necessary just as re-
pair shops are imperative for land trans
portation machinery. While we have
ascrlbed the backwardness of the Amer
lean marine to various causes, it is
doubtless due to a combination of many
causes and the lack Of c%ommodious dry
docks as one of them.

DISCRETION OvERTOPs vALoR.
An Admiral Who Served His Country
by Keeping Out of n Fight.
Springfield Republican.

The transmittal to the house by Secretary
Moody OF the navy dispatches concerning
the bombardment Of the Taku forts, during
the Boxer outbreak in China, again calls
attention to the case OF Rear Admiral
Kempff, who, commanding the American
ships in Chinese waters, refused to take
part in the bombardment. 1t has never
seemed that he received his Just reward
for a very distinguished and important
service. The Navy department at once
ordered Rear Admiral Remey TO the scene,
where he would outrank Kempn, an act
that was In the nature Of disapproval or
an indication Of lack OF confidence In his
judgment. How completely Kempf has been
indicated. however, need not be told. 1t
now appears that he has felt rather sore
over his treatment and the oficial CORE
spondence shows that he protested against
the form Of the reference made to the
Taku bombardment, in the presidents
annual message OF December. 1900. as an
injustice to himself. Turning to that
message, one finds that this is the passage
In question:
"The forts were thereupon shelled by the
foreign vessels, the American admiral taking
no part in the attack, on the ground that
we were not at war with China and that a
hostile demonstration might consolidate the
anti-foreign elements and strengthen the
Boxers to oppose the relieving column"
That was all the mention Kempf re-
ceived. He was not even named. and his
great service in refusing to lombard the
Chinese forts got no commendation what
ever. When Admiral Kempn visited the
White House this week President Roosevelt
made amends by telling him privately that
the civilized world had rendered judgment
on his action and had decided that he was
right. But what he really deserved was a
promotion or the thanks Of congress. The
case, as now made up, is a striking i~llustra-
ton OF the discouraging way an Ofneer may
be treated when he serves his country by
keeping out Of q hght instead Of getting
into one.
