Boers-Militant and Salaried.

Naturally enough, the Boer agents in Eu-

the best hotels in Paris, Brussels, or Berlin,
they found it easy and agreeable to carry

speeches, and had come to enjoy the eX-

dull peace stands proclaimed.
The Boer prisoners in the different British
camps were differently affected They re-
jGiced. The news was sweet to them. They
cheered Justify, and sang the songs of home.
They want to get back to their families
and kindred. They know what war is. They
have had their fill of it. If they lack the
courage which is strengthened by a hotel
menu card and wine list. they have not
lacked that which made the toughest of
fare and the hardest of beds their portion
for months. They did all that men could
do. They offered their lives to their coun-
try. and fought until captured. They want
against them. So they yield now like men,
and are eager for home.
How long the war was protracted through
the influence of the Boer agents in Europe
eYerted on the burghers in the field cannot
be definitely stated but there is good rea-
son to believe that such influence was
potent factor for evil Yarns of every de-
scription were literally fed to the mails
and the wires We received our share OF
them over here. Every few weeks we were
told that Mr.. Kruger, in response to the
most urgent invitations, was on the eve of
sailing for America to stump the country
in behalf of his people. and that there was
assurance of money help by the thousands
OF dollars and of fighting men if he wanted
them. He never came-probaby never Sc
riously thought of coming. Had he come
his reception would have been noisy, but
not prolific of results. There never was a
day when this government could have af-
forded or would have considered interven-
ton in behalf of the Beers. And the same
was true of every government in Europe.
But the fighting men in South Africa, far
afield and full of courage, were buoyed up
with false hopes and thousands became
sacrifices to fakirdom. independence was
all along the overshadowing Boer aim, and
that was never possible with the outside
world a mere spectator Of the struggle.

the opposition to Nicaragua consists of
three distinct elements inspired variously.
One is at heart for canal at all but fav-

adopted: another is for a canal only at
Panama and therefore against Nicaragua,
and failing Panama. against any canal at
all; the third calls sincerely enough for a
canal, but unconsciously plays into the
hands of those who are secretly waiting to
throttle any canal proposition.
The engineering merits of the two routes
are fairly balanced. If there be any SUI

the revised offer of the Panama company to

that line. The Senate committee has de-

House in preferring the Nicaragua line
even in view Of this altered state of the
commissions mind. 1t has rejected all
Overtures for further postponement and
plants itself squarely on the single issue of
Nicaragua as the most feasible route for
the canal under government ownership. On
that issue it stands to win if any canal

determinative action. But the man in
charge of the bill, Senator Morgan, is wise
In his long experience. He knows the whole
game to the last card. He cannot be delud-

ositions. Under his charge the bill is in

The New British Ambassador.

The appointment of Hon. Michael Henry
Herbert to be ambassador from England
at this capital evidences the care which the
government al London is exercising to
maintain the pleasant relations now exist
ing between the two countries. The new
ambassador is known as a man of rare dis
cretion and tact. He is thoroughly trained
in the diplomatic service, is well acquainted
with the Washington post through his two
terms here secretary of legation and has
been engaged in negotiations which have
revealed his ability a peacemaker. His
marriage to an American woman has
strengthened his natural affection for the
people of his own race and language. The
fact that one of the amba ssadors of the
higher rank not chosen for this post
does not indicate that Great Britain regards
Washington as Of small diplomatic conse-
Quence. There is today no foreign capital
at which the English prestige is being more
carefully maintained, or where more par
ticular pains are taken to preserve AMIGA
BILE relations. The present era of good feel
ing between the two peoples is largely the
result Of Lord Pauncefotes remarkable
skill and discretion, and 1t Is evident that
the government at London appreciates that
the excellent work done by the dead diplo-
matst must be continued.

Effective Rate Reduction.

II Congress does not act at this session
in the direction of effective reduction of
the telephone rates there will be practically
no assurance that the extortion of excessive
charges from the District people will not
continue for another four years. The COM
pany will thus afford the spectacle of the
utilization of the very act of Congress
aimed at it's unjustifiable rate schedule for
the defeat of its purpose. Congress has the
power today to terminate every privilege
enjoyed by the company. 1t can direct the
removal of the wires from the streets anu
at the same time ii can charter a new COM
pany to enter the District and serve TIE
people. 1t can even direct the purchase of
the company's plant by the government and
its future operation as a public enterprise
Having these broad powers. it is unques
tionably capable of directing, within reason,
the rates which the company shall charge
while enjoying the privileges which Con
gress grants.
1t would be difficult for the lower court
to ascertain precisely what style of service
Congress had in mind when it fixed the
rates In the act of 1898. To go beyond the
bare record of the enactment it would re-
quire testimony upon all the phases of the
telephone controversy. This would involve
much expenditure of money and a delay per-
haps long as the original trial caused.
The short cut to a definition now is for
Congress to make good its neglect of 1898
and specify it's intentions so explicitly that
the court cannot possibly mistake them.
The enactment could take advantage of
the experience OF the past four years, the
offers 10y the telephone company of It's So
called measured service. the oStenSible low
ering OF the average cost of the service
and furthermore of the various decisions
which have been rendered by the courts.

gage in further litigation to prevent enforce

eminent which looked to an Independent
republic. and in the other he was so ex-
tremely tender-footed that the Cubans re-
garded him as ally OF Spain. When
the campaign opens, therefore. Mr.. Kern
may find it difficult to parade one Of his
heroes before the people Of Indiana as
champion of popular government.
The platform deals gingerly with the sill
yer question. but leans to the Bryan side.
II indorses the quantitive theory about
money. and contends that the greatly in
creased output of the gold mines has sus-
tanned what was demanded by Mr.. Bryan in
1896 and 1GOO-that is to say. more money.
But, as a matter Of fact. what Mr.. Bryan
was contending for then was not only more
money but bimetallism. He wanted the
additional amount necessary to be composed
of silver, and coined at a ratio Of 16 to 1,
without consultation by this government
with any other government. Mr.. Bryan
wanted. and still wants, the double stand
ard What we now have, and what is
ccmplishng results that Mr.. Bryan claimed
nothing but the double standard could ac
complish, is the single standard, and that,
too, of gold. The Indianapolis deliverance
may prove a little too Bryanish for the
gold democrats. and not sufficiently Bryan
ish for Mr.. Bryan himself. Still, it is bid
for harmony. and maybe the best possible
in the circumstances.
Indiana is an important state to the dem
ocrats. and they will exert themselves to
carry it this year. Their hope for 1904 rests
upon the revival of the old arrangement.
New York and Indiana are again pivotal
states. Without their support no democrat
can be elected President Of the United
States.

Santo Domingo If 1t had been coded to the

negotiated a treaty to that effect, which
was defeated in the Senate by those wiser
men than the great commander, led by
Charles Sumner and Carl Schurz. 1t is an
island of resources producer Of sugar
and nearer to us than is Hawaii, which has
become prosperous under a treaty which
opened our markets to It's sugar years be-
fore it was annexed. Under the direction
of the United States Santo Domingo would
have had peace and security and it's sugar
would have paid no duty. Now the land is
the victim of frequent revolutions and in
dustrially is worse off than it was twenty
years ago. 1t might have been imperialism
to have come into possession of Santo Do
mingo. but it would have given a people
liberty and prosperity.

The Boycott.

II is evident that the striking hard-coal
miners of Pennsylvania are determined to
force the flooding of the mines. They have
not as yet INDUCED in hostiities. but they
have invoked a weapon even more potent
than the rifle or the torch. They have in
stituted boycott proceedings against all
who now work in the mines. Provisioners
who sell them goods are boycotted. and the
threat of starvation is becoming menacing.
The children are avoided at school, The
youngsters who work in mills are Stunned
by their former associates, and in some Of
the establishments there are threats of
strikes if the children of non-union mine
workers are not discharged. The street
railway union is even threatening to refuse
to allow the mine force to ride on the cars
and to strike If the companies insist upon
permitting them passage.
In short, it is the deliberate purpose OF
the strikers to force every last man out Of
the mines, to bring about their flooding.

pathy even when the original cause of the
strike receives the support of the people.
Events in the hard coal region are rapidly
moving to arouse the resentment of the
public against the miners. The coal con-
sumers of the country have a large stake
in the game. If the mines are flooded be-
cause of the stubborn radicalism of the
strikers the main cost will be paid later
by every householder who uses hard coal.
Already the price Of this fuel is exorDi-
family high. but it is nothing compared
with what it must be If the mines are
flooded for many months. While the pinch
is not felt at this season by the average
person, owing to the low demand for coal
In summer, 1t will undoubtedly result in
suffering couple of months later, when
the winters supply is bought.
This Is an interstate matter. and Of such
gravity that every force of both the COM
monwealth of Pennsylvania and the United
States if necessary should be brought to
bear to prevent the destruction Of the
mines. Even If a compromise cannot be
effected of the immediate issues between
the men and the operators, the authorities
should intervene to prevent such whole
sale calamity as the flooding of the mines.
