is thoroughly loyal to the British
throne, and that is why he has the
full confidence of the king His ap-
pointment as envoy by his majesty is
rebuke to the Tory ministry.
The British appreciate the mag
nanimity Of Delarey in releasing Lord
Methuen, but up to present writing
they have not reciprocated by ex-
changing Cronje or KritZinger. They
have a higher opinion of Delarey, De
Wet and Botha than ever before and
they are beginning to believe for the
first time that the Beers can never
be conquered. They also believe that
the actual condition of affairs in
South Africa is worse than is reported
by Kitchener.
Every press correspondent in South
Africa is muzzled and the accounts of
battles are completely suppressed.
Were the British successful the cor
respondents would be permitted to
write. The full story of Methuen's
defeat has yet to be told, and nothing
has been said of Grenfell and his
1,30O troops who were marching to
join the captured general. 1t appears
that the Beers took six guns instead
of four, and that the number of killed
and wounded is larger than at first
reported.
In our opinion the British are ex-
tremely anxious to make peace with
the Beers on any terms. The Cape
Colonists have to be reckoned with
now, and they will demand absolute
independence. A report suppressed
by Kitchener reached London on st.
Patricks Day saying that the rebel
lion in Cape Colony is tiourishing and
that COmmandant Maritz had cap
tured two large British conveys. The
prospect is gloomy for England, and
the Beers are more determined than
ever to continue the fight. The SYM
pathy of the American people, despite
the attitude Of the Republican adj
ministration, is with the brave bur-
ghers in their struggle for freedom
now and forever.

An esteemed contemporary urges
Irish parents to bestow the name of
Patrick on their sons, and says: "Pat-
rick Maloney has a greater chance of
succeeding in life than Frederick AL
bert Maloney." The Irish parents of
Chicago judge christened him Pat
rick, but he discarded the name and
has succeeded pretty we'll in politics.
Judge Elbridge Hanecy eschewed the
baptismal name of Patrick and
changed Hennessy to Hanecy. He al
so abandoned the faith of his parents,
and became Baptist. OF course, he
is a Republican of the rankest kind.
Such instances, however, are very

OF England when it says: england

The following paragraph from the
Omaha World-Herald may interest the
editor of our pro-British contemporary
of the Zenith City: "Three times in
their wicked warfare, the British have
gone up in battle array against the
Beers in company with the American
mule True to his native instinct,
three times the mule has turned from
the scene in disgust and fled as fast
as his legs could carry him. In the
South African struggle even the dumb
beasts have too much sense to side
with Great Britain in it's ruthless and
unholy purposes. That has been left
to American toadies."

king to see with his own eyes and hear

here would have been Il sore cncum-
