The reception by the British press of the news that Dr. Jameson's expedition into the Transvaal had been defeated by the Beers throws a bright light on the English character and that nation’s foreign policy. It will be remembered that the enterprise of Jameson was éntirely private, without ostensible sanction by the government, and the colorial office in Landon took excelent care to make-a public display ef keeping hands off when the public annozucement was made that an armed force ef English- ™men was marching into the Boer republic and it developed that there was a powerful national influence in Europe opposed to such a move. A message was sent to Jame- son, alieged to contain orders for him to turn back, and it is known that he re- cetved it and then proceeded. It is almost incredible in view of his persistent ad- vence that the message bade him to retrace his steps when the discipline of the foreign cffice is considered. But he went on and was whipped. Ne Englishman can en- ‘dure defeat. It is a characteristic of the race that the man whe whips is hailed as right in his cavse,- whatever his contention; the man who leses is necessarily wrong. So the British press now greets the tidings of the Boer victory with disclaimers. Nothing but success, say the astute London editors, could have justified the invasion. As the expedition has proved a miserable faflure it has seriously damaged the future of Seuth Africa. The other site of the picture is not re- vealed. What if Jameson had cut his way through the Boers, captured the capital of their republic, and established the British influence in the land that, in 1891, was de- fended by the enterprising Dutch colonists from their selfish neighbors? Would he now have been disgraced, denounced as an adventurer, condemned as foolhardy and a miserable failure?..The voice of history an- swers in the negative. Success and success alcne is the British criterion of righteous- ress, and it is the traditional policy of the nation to inaugurate mest of its important movements by unofiictal expeditions on the success or failure of which depends the future course of the government. Robert Schomburgk, a German botanist, succeeded in the face. of the danger of being attacked and expelied by Venezuela in laying down a bounGary fer British Guiana for the pur- pese of negotiation and compromise, far beyong any previous British claim. The successful man bécomes'Sir Richard Schom- burgk, English.knight, instead of a Ger- man adventurer and roving botanist, and his bour dary line is now clothed with the attributes of infallibility,.and may not be questioned without insult to Britain, and is not a pessible subject of arbitration. Had Dr. Jameson whipped the Beers and Ger- many contented herself with growling, it is probable that a year hence the South Africar hero would have been elevated to the knighthood or maybe the peerage for his “great public services,” instead of being disowned and condemned as an adventurer. ——_- + «+ _____ Commendable Enterprise. If is ‘announced that the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad has agreed with the city of Bridgeport to elevate its tracks when crossing that place, at-a cost te the company of about $2,600,000 and to the city of about $400,000. This agreement ensures the abolition of grade crossings on the entire main line of that road from New York to Boston, and ft is expected that the work will all be accomplished in- side of four years. The company has found that by abolishing grade crossings it is en- abled to reduce the schedule time of through trains, which can run at top speed through cities and towns not included in the stops, without danger of incurring heavy damages from accidents. As a mat- ter-of economy the improvement is re- garded by the company in the Hght of a good investment. It secures the hearty good-will, too, of ail the large towns and cities thrcugh which it passes, and in these days of competition this ts a most import- ant item, indeed. Such a spirit is highly commendable, and the application of a lit- tle of the same sort on local conditions by the railroads that now have unhampered use of the streets of Washington with wholly inadequate means of protection would be one of the most welcome events in the history ef-the city. It {s observed, too, that this great and enterprising north- erm corporation does not confine its im- provements to the clty crossings, but ele- vates its tracks whenever a country read is encountered, so that every possibility of accident to people who do not trespass on the railway ( acks is inated. ——__—_+ «+ _____ Mad or Germs, Which? These are trying times for local water drinkers. The wells are condemned as in- fected. The verdict of the authorities is that all must be closed. The Potomac water is full of Maryland and Virginia mud, and the authorities have permitted themselves to foster the suspicion that dis- ease germs as well as mud particles con- taminate it. If both waters are dangerous, the more attractive to the eye, the clear, cold and sparkling well water is naturally preferred, and resistance to the Cemmis- sioners’ campaign against the wells ts vastly strengtmemed. The Star considers the water in the shallow wells within the elty Hmits to be an absolutely demon- strated source of disease; while in respect to the Potomac water there is only a re- mote suspicion, which may or may not prove to be well founded. From The Star's point of view it seems unfortunate that confidence in the more wholesome of the two waters should be shaken by the au- thorities while a campaign was in progress against the water which is generally con- ceded to be dangerous. Deep wells, if any, must be used within the city; and, first, settling basins, and later, perhaps, a fil- tration bed wili deprive the Potomac water of its sediment and its possible stray germs reticent sc far this winter. Its appearance in the near future carnot be reasonably complained of. Winter Raciug. announced thaf the managers of the Virginia Jockey Club, engaged in business at the St. Asaph race track, Virginia, have decided to close the track beginning today, and will not reopen until ring. At the same time it is understood that the Old Dominion Jockey Club, doing business at Alexander Island, will take ad- vantage of the abandonment of winter rac- ing at St. Asaph's, and will hold meetings daily instead of on alternate days. Thus the community is not in the least better off for the “voluntary” action ef the Virginia Jeekey Club, for there will stIll be a dally exhibition of cruelty to animals under the guise of horse-racing within a few miles of the Capitol. It might be expected that the action of the St. Asaph management would have some effect upon those who run the other track, but the Alexander Island peo- It is organization and was abandon {ts operations on the Ist of De- cember. This year ft is outlawed and pendent and, encouraged by the good Weather, ft continued to hold three meet- ings a week throughout the first half of the the rest of the winter and it is more apt to be found that the real reason was a finan- cial one. Since the other track does not fol- low its good example the scandalous spec- tacle is still to be presented throughout the cold months of useless and cruel horse races for gambling purposes every week day. —————~+ += ___ Picking Schomburgk’s Line to Pieces. | $ The Schomburg boundary 1s suffering assault all along the Tine, in England as well as in America. It is already demon- strated to be nwcrthy of unquestioning international acceptance and this fact re- moves one of the greatest obstacles in the Way of a complete vindication of the Amer- ican position, which.is thet Great Britain has no right to arb‘trarily to fix upon this line as the extreme limit of British submis- sion to arbitration. The Londcn Chronicle is doing yeoman service just at present in | @estroying Lord Salisbury’s contention that | the Schemburgk litte Is infallible and un- | impeachable, spondent is unearthing some valuable ma- : terial that will dcubtless have weight with the Venezuelan commission. There is no lack of evidence against this arbitrary line and it is remarkable that Lord Salisbury, with all his shrewdness as a diplomat, should have selected so weak a ground in opposition to the American position in the matter. In view of recent disclosures re- garding Schon:burgk’s Ine it js somewhat astoniabing to learn that Mr. Joseph Cham- berlain, the colonial secretary, eagerly de- nies a rumor that the British government is disposed to arbitrate the question. For Great Britain to refuse to arbitrate after the demolition of her main contention would place he> in a very embarrassing po- sition and ereatly strengthen the interna- tional cupport that will surely be accorded to the United States in the controversy. ——_-- +2 + _____ The peace meetings which declare for arbitration are in effect, though not perhaps in intent, endorsements of President Cleve- land's vigorous insistence upon arbitration and rebukes of Salisbury's contemptuous and reckless refusal of arbitration. Cleve- land intimated that under certain conditions the United States would have arbitration if it had to fight for it. These recent advo- cates of arbitration, in whom, though peace- lovers, the commercial instinct is already at war with patriotic impulse, do not back up thelr country’s demand of arbitration, but seem to suggest that there should be an arbitration of the question whether we ought to ask arbitration. The experience of the past fortnight has been that as the Ameri- can feeling in support of the President grows stronger, the British feeling in sup- port ef Lord Salisbury grows weaker, and there can be no surer way to bring about arbitration and a peaceful settlement of the controversy than to rally unltedly in main- tenance of the American position. —< e+___ The marriage of Mrs. Vanderbilt to Mr. Belmont means another important consoli- dation of capital. it is reassuring to see two large fortunes brought into matrimo- nial prominence without either of them leaving the country. —___ ee _____ Li Hung Chang would be glad if the mis- sionaries would undertake to teach the Chinese Emperor to be more gentle and considerate toward the Viceroy. —_«e= The President is probably becoming more and more firmly convinced that this coun- try cannot be run in such a way as to se- cure unanimous applause. ——_- + = If Mr. Shomburgk were alive he would no doubt be actively engaged in preparing for a lecture tour. —_—_—__» 2 = ____— There were eighty men at work on the city post office building again today.

Twice a year we have made up for us a White Shirt that could easily be sold at 50c. We do not slight it—or skimp it to the smallest degree.

The body is made of good muslin and is 36 inches long, cut full size in chest, has patent gus- sets and stays, and is rein- forced at every possible weak point. The sizes run from 134 to 18. They are unlaundered Shirts—but if you want a good one—here it is for 39c. —and you had better take a half dozen while you can get them. Another 39c. Special—and a Shirt, too—is 100 dozen Unlaundered Colored Bosom Shirts. Neat patterns, correct in cut, rightly made; fast col- ors and quite as good as is ordinarily sold for almost double the 39c. we are selling these for. -Up a little—in price. Worth it, though—soc. for an un- laundered Dress Shirt, made of New York Mills Muslin, with pure linen bosom and gussets and stays and all such satisfaction points.
