This expecta- an. it is red, is based on the fact that Canadian troe: one splendia and the further fact n the field has spe- cislly praised them for their gallantry. In short, the suggestion is that Canada Is ex- pecting to be paid a high price for her pa- Nottsm and loyalty, as displayed in the «ispatch of a few hundred colonial troops te the seat of war. Phis suggestion is by no means compli- mentary to Canada, and ts to be deprecated in the absence of positive proof. The Cana- ‘tan boundary matter is now fairly well sev'led. England has found that the over- “helming sentiment of the United States is against the grant of any special or new peivileges on the Alaskan frontier. Pend- i an adverse report by an arbitration tr »unal—should such ever be chosen to end the matter—this government has been in- structed to stand firmly by its contention that the boundary does not afford Canada any se@ access from Portland channel to be extreme northern end of the boundary are: {< is by no means flattering to the Do- m ion to be placed in the attitude of capi- Ucizing thus the blood of its soldiers. If liv re was reason to send the colonial troops ke Africa, tt was the need of the mother government. There was no time and no call for speculative enlistments, Unques- tionably not a man who wears the Cana- dian uniform in Africa enlisted with any ether thougat than devotion to the govern- ment at London. Should these gallant fel- lows find, upon their return, that they have been utilized as investments, as catspaws to pull the Alaskan seaport out of the American fire, they are not likely to ap- preciate their government's enterprise at its full. The Alaskan boundary dispute will never be settled in terms of Canada’s patriotism teward England. There is no reason to be- lieve that the government at London will be so short-sighted as to think to change the attitude of the United States in this re- spect. If En: lukewarm in her advocacy of Cai 's claims a year ago, it was doubtless because those claims were weak and without basis. A sudden stiffen- ing of the British backbone now in the same field would most assuredly be pro- ductive of at least an equal stiffening of the American backbone, with perhaps un- pleasant consequences. Mr. Cleveland for Mr. Bryan? Is Mr. Cleveland likely to come out as a pperter of Mr. Bryan? As ‘strange a thing as that has happened, and happened in Mr. Clev ‘= own behalf. When the democratic national convention met in 1882 Mr. Cleveland was the strong- est candidate, purely om personal grounds. His course when in office on the financial question had given serious offense to the uthern and the western democrats. His -ffort in 1888, made through Mr. Gorman and W. L. Scott, to hedge on his free trade message to Congress had seriously offended the tariff reformers. He had been just enough of a civil service reformer to offend the democratic machine. But, in spite of all these things, he had made an impres on the country which the mana; cians of the party could not control. So, after they had looked the ground carefully over, had weighed the Hill boom, the Gor- man boom, the Brice boom and other booms in the balance and found them light, they turned to Mr. Cleveland and decided to utilize his strong personal hold on the peo- ple. Silver men like Mr. Vest, tariff re- formers like Mr. Mills, protectionists like Mr. Gorman, all joined hands and put him through. Mr. Bryan's strength today, like Mr. Cleveland's in 1892, is largely personal. As a political prophet he is wholly discredited. Events since 18% have knocked the spots out of every argument he advanced in the campaign of that year. The cast Is still opposed to his financial vagaries. The tariff reformers have not forgotten his abandon- ment of that cause. Expansion democrats smile and shake their heads at his fulmina- tions about imperialism. But somehow Mr. Bryan's popularity with the rank and file of the party continues. There seems to be nothing else in sight for the democracy but to utilize it. The Gorman boom, the Olney boom, the Stone boom, when weighed against it are all light. Mr. Bryan is still the party's drawing card. Count him out, and what Is left but bickerings and confu- sion? Mr. Cleveland is not more oppesed to Mr. Bryan on the money question than Mr. Vest was to Mr. Cleveland in 1892. And yet Mr. Vest and all of his silver friends supported Mr. Cleveland that year. They did not change their views as to money, but merely played personal popularity for a winning card. That card won in that cam- paign, but will it win In this? Even if Mr. Cleveland declares for Mr. Bryan, will it help the Nebraskan? With the results of that campaign so fresh in recollection, will the country the second time elect a candi- date behind whom there fs not a homo- geneous following with a definite object in view? ————++2—____ The Street Sweeping Troubles. The dispute between the street sweeping contractors and their bondsmen just brought into court through an application for a re- ceiver for the former reveals once more the undesirable features of the contract sys- tem, and suggests the advantages of the plan of sweeping the streets under the di- rect supervision of the Commissioners. The experiments which have been tried by the District in the line of direct work during the past few years have amply shown that the streets can be kept cleaner by this method, and at less expense, than by the contract system. There is constant fric- tion between the authorities and the con- tractors. The latter occasionally show a disposition to ignore the rights of their employes and they must be kept up under the closest inspection to insure that they perform their work according to specifica- tions. The same inspection machinery would suffice to insure good work under the direct system, and the community would save the profit now paid to the con- tractors for a very uncertain service. The pending District appropriation bill_ might perhaps be amended by the houses in this particular in the light of these court de- velopments, which bring the disadvantages of the contract system Into acute promi- nence. —~ ++ —___ Consistency in Kansas. The Rev. Sheldon, the six-day Kansas preacher-editor, refuses to print the news of the theater in his “newspaper,” doubtless hecau: me plays are objectionable. It be wondered whether he would pub- lish an account of the Oberammergau Pas- sion Play, portraying the life of Christ, whose principles are supposed to guide this enterprise. Apparently all theaters look alike to the narrow vision of this Kansas wsation-seeker. He will not print the ad- vertisements of the ralircads, because he thinks they should be owned by the state, and furthermore, they employ men on Sun- Gay. Yet he uses for his editions the white paper brought to his hand by these same rajlroads, and in order to maiatain the supply the freight trains must run on Sun- day, and over these iniquitous privately owned Ines. Verily, consistency is one of the Christlike principles which has for the week been abandoned by the Rev. Sheldon. od By selecting Sunday as the day on which to change the point where the cars stop the Commissioners may have been guided by the hope that the day would serve to restrain irritable people who chance to get confused. —~-2—____ Mr. Daly and Mr. Clark of Montana ap- pear to be doing as much as circumstances will permit to have a Wanamaker-Quay time of it. ——_~ + = —__ om Paul shows as much obstinacy in di- plomacy as General Cronje did in fighting. —— +2 —___ Porto Rico would doubtless ike a little recognition as an infant industry, ————+ +s —____ The South African Campaign. The capture of Bloemfontein by Lord Roberts, which is now imminent, the Brit- ish forces being at present within fifteen miles of the city, will not necessarily mean a serious blow to the Boer armies. The Free State capital is not important as a strategic point save to the extent that it is on the line of the railway running south- ward to Colesburg and, by a branch, to Molteno and thence to the coast. Thus the only serious result of this move will be the interruption of railroad communication be- tween the Boers now operating on the Cape Colony border and the main body in the northern part of the Free State. It has been believed ever since Lord Roberta relieved Kimberley that one of his objects was to cut through to the railroad to shut off the Boers who have been invading the British territory in the south. The slow movement of the British forces there under Gatacre was accounted for on this assump- tion, that it was not desirable to press the opposing Boers northward too sharply, in order to give Roberts time to get across their railroad line of communications. Much depends upon the size of these burgher forces in the south as to whether the oc- cupation of Bloemfontein will affect the fu- ture campaign materially or not. The occupation of the enemy's capital city is of course a moral victory, but in this instance It will not have as much weight as though the Free State were the chief factor in the war against England. It is merely an ally, and Bloemfontein therefore does not occupy the attention of the world as does Pretoria, the real objective point of the British advance. The purpose immedi- ately in view is to crush the Boer armies now retreating northward. This it is thought will be very difficult of accom- plishment, for the Boers have a free fie'd for their retirement and are in position to fortify several important strategic posi- tions, from which they can offer stubborn resistance. There is a suggestion in the dis- patches that Lord Roberts hopes to throw his army northward from Bloemfontein so rapidly that he can prevent the Boers from retreating along the line of the railroad running to Pretoria, holding them between that line and the Kimberley-Mafeking road. If this should be his purpose it is clear that he must do some very rapid maneuvering, as the Boer forces have an advantage of position already and are believed to have established lines of communication be- tween their present rear guard forces and the Pretoria railroad. One of the possiwil- ities of this line of British advance is that the Boers may be prevented from joining the armies of the east and the west, the former now lying northwest of Bloemfon- tein and the latter north of Ladysmith. ——_~ + = —____ The Senate will no doubt remember the trouble the sugar trust once caused it and be wary about allowing it to assert itself in Porto Rican legislation. ———__~ «= —___ In connection with the “open door” all John Chinaman asks is some assurance that he will not be kicked through it.

The cry in this country now seems to be for more ships. The drain of the South African war has much hampered Boston for several months, some of the biggest ships having been withdrawn from this port for transportation purposes, the com- panies not being able as yet to replace them with enough and suitable ships. There is every prospect that New Eng- land is to return to her old calling with more vigor than ever. The present roseate view of the ocean freight market has been gaining ground since the United States be- an to acquire possession across the seas, and especially with reference to Hawaii, for the sugar trade with which islands the Bath builders have recently turned out some magnificent specimens of steel ships and barks. Facts are steadily leaving the anti-ex- pansionists out in the cold with nothing to stand upon but gray theories and political abstractions. ——_-+ ++ —____ The Need of Good Roads. From the Philxdelphia Record, Good roads are a business necessity, not only to the farmer, but to every municipal- ity, Industry and enterprise, and all would be equally benefited by improved high- ways. This proposition is not without sup- porting evidence, which can be accumulated in abundance. The farmer who must haul to a distant market the products of his acres finds that such transportation is ex- cessively expensive In time and labor in- volved and in the maintenance of vehicles and beasts of burden. All this increases the selling cost of the product, without con- ferring any compensating benefit upon any- body. Consumers everywhere are thus compelled to pay 2 heavy fine for neglect of road improvement. On the contrary, if the public roads should be made solid, smooth and of easy grade hauls from the farm to the preferred market would be rendered of shorter duration and physically less diffi- cult and the stock and vehicle account would be shortened. These facts are so obvious that they ought to appeal forcefully to every progres- sive citizen. its Mkely ————— oe ’ Our Lengevity Increased. From the New York Press.
