They are playing upon the basest passions of the people. They are misrepresenting the whole Transvaal con- trove! They are influencing only the lightheaded and the desperate. But in doing that they are making themselves responsi- ble for the acts of such creatures. This sapheaded apprentice, with murder in his heart and a cheap pistol in his hand, was but the agent of some Relgian demagogue who had been bloriating in the barrooms of Brussels, and drawing pay probably from some Boer secret service fund. This is atrocious work, wherever and by whomsoever indulged in. The Boer cause gains nothing by it, but loses. The fool who killed Canovas simply made way for Sa- gasta.

Davis are bracketed in the suth African matters. This sty reading of the two cases. it Is unjust to Mr. Macrum. d shows that there was nothing with Mr. Macrum but panic. » war came, and swept him off his feet. He ha¢ . business service to his g and he was rendering that fairly well when the air darkened and war broke out. Then he thought of far-away Ohio and the good people there, and he wanted to come home. Of course he could not afford to put it in that bald way to the State Department, so he intimated that Important business de- manded his presence at home. He came—a little calmed down, but sti! pale around the gills, and unfortunately fell into the hands of some enemies of the administra- tion, who exploited him for their own pur- poses, but to his own complete confusion. Such is the Macrum case. It showed at the Worst but the want of self-confidence in an obscure and inexperienced young man. Mr. Davis, on the other hand, went to South Africa for no other reason than be- cause a war was in progress there. Of course he journeyed as a private individual, and in order to get a much-needed rest af- ter a long and fatiguing stumping tour here at home. and all that. But he is a swift re- normally a robust individual, ne he reached Cape Town he and by the ti was well set up, and ready for a thorough tour of inspection of the whole situation. He m: one, weighed both sides in the balance. and reached a conclusion. He car- ried an abundant stock of self-confidence with him, and@ he has returned with even a larger supply, if that is possible. He does not doubt his ability to convert the country to the Boer cause, and that is his present mission. Mr Macrum dr: out. There is nothing of value in the situation for him. An ob- ject of some interest for a day, he 1s now only an object of pity. But Mr. Davis’ day, as he believes, has just dawned. If there is not something substantial in the situation for him, in the way at least of lecture fees, both he and the public will be greatly sur- prised. ———_~ += —_____ Mr. Dewey's announcement that he will be a presidential candidate will be almost as great a surprise to some people as was the prior announcement that he would not be. a It was unreasonable to suspect that Irish- men would be other than polite to a lady. ———_ ee Recent Boer Activity. Late reports from the seat of war in Af- ose a renewed activity on the part Boers, who are now assuming the of- and moving toward Lord Roberts’ communication. The British com- nder has been comparatively idle since of the Free State capital. Some ces have been engaged against the south of Bloemfontein, while others seem to have had but poor success in ‘hing north of the city. The south- ject failed in that the retreating Hoers were not tntercepted and captured. It fs to be assumed, however, that it was fruitful at least of the result of sweeping the country behind Lord Roberts clear of the enemy. Just why the main body of the British been held back is not altogether save on the theory that {t has been ¥ found necessary to accumulate a larger supply of transport facilities, without ai an advance to the north, despite the Presence of the railroad, would be hazard- ui d. however, that so #ist as Roberts and so care- anizer and persistent a cam- Kitchener would not uselessly ig the enemy or allow a favor- able opportunity for a stroke to pass. It has been suggested that one reason for the British tnac' y¥ was to allow the Boers again to concentrate in order that a dect- sive battle might be permitted, in the hope that a blow thus delivered would be more effective toward stopping the war than a series of running engagements across coun- try. Such a theory ts of course acceptable only on the assumption that Lord Roberts is confident of inflicting a crushing defeat. He assuredly bas within effective range an army far larger than that which the Boers mow seem to have concentrated north of him. The latter may have chosen a ground which would give them an advantage in case of a British assault. As the Boer tac- tics have thus far run it Is assumed that although the burghers are at present act- ing offensively they will so pian that In case of an encounter the British would he compelled to take the offensive in turn, against an entrenched foe. Thus far Lord | Roberts has not faced just such a situation, has engaged indeed in no pitched battle. The operations sround Kimberley were characterized mainly by maneuvers which threatened the Boer lines and there was no decisive fight in which mass was thrown against mass. The capture of Cronje was the result of clever management, character- ized by the superior mobility of the British forc Nothing in the advance to Bloem- fontein was suggestive of a battle. So the new situation affords no chance for com- parison with the achievements of the com- mander-in-chief thus far in the campaign. The loss of the convoy the other day, while of course !n a measure serious through the capture of a rumber of guns, was but an incident and may prove of value in teach- ing the British a lesson. The real test of strength in the Free State is yet to come, and present indications suggest that it Is near at hand. —____ + e = —____ An Impudent Intrusion. Whenever a congressional committee has granted a hearing on any proposition to re- lieve the people of the District from the burden of excessive telephone rates through the chartering of a rival company willing to furnish the service for reasonable prices, arguments have always been heard from sources more or less intimately traceable to the Chesapeake and Potomac Company to the effect that it is impossible for any company to supply a satisfactory service for the reduced rates. This, for instance, was the case yesterday, when the Senate District committee listened to statements on both sides of the case, the biil recently passed by the House chartering the Wash- ington Telephone Company being under consideration. It is to be honed that the committee or the Senaie will not allow itself to be blinded by such arguments and the statistics ad- vanced in their support. They have no place in the discussion. The proposition is plain. The people of Washington demand relief from a burdensome monopoly. Here comes a company willing, eager, to afford relief by supplying satisfactory service for low rates. The bill as it stands exacts a bond of $100,000 for the faithful perform- ance of the contract. It is otherwise guarded to ensure, as far as possible in ad- vance, the institution of a plant and the maintenance of a modern service calculated to satisfy the reasonable demands of the people. it is of course most charitable on the part of the established company to warn Con- gress and incidentally the aspirant for charter rights that the schedule of rates is suicidal, that the service can not be given for the sums named and that the Dill in its present terms is opposed to experience. But it is difficult to see where the old com- pany comes into the equation. It has no vested right as a monopoly. Its rights, such as they are, have been of late serious- ly questioned. It has no prerogative to per- mit it to dictate between the people and Congress. Indeed It is only by a stretch of courtesy that it is allowed a hearing in a matter of this kind. ‘The case involves merely a consideration, first, of the demand of the people for relief, which Congress has already undertaken to afford; second, of the means of granting that relief. The existing company has elim- inated itself from the case by preventing a fruition of the initial efforts of Congress in this line. It should not be allowed to block the present endeavor by impugning the good faith of the applicant for a charter, or the good faith of the House and the Senate. If the prescribed rates are too low for profit it will not suffer, but the loss will fall upon those who are now applying for permission to give the people of the District what they want. ——_+ «+. The Miners and Sappers Party. As was to be expected, and as The Star predicted, the responses to the announce- ment of Admiral Dewey's candidacy for the presidency are all discouraging. In all sections there is surprise. In many there is regret. In not a few there is open ridi- cule. The people stand in mild wonder at such a mistake from such a quarter. What explains it? How did it come to pass that a man so secure in the admiration and af- fections of his countrymen should have blundered in such a way? People will speculate about public men and public affairs, and much of the specula- tion about this man and this affair is ex- ceedingly persuasive. It seems to be agreed that this is not an anti-McKinley, but an anti-Bryan move. There are certain democrats who make loud professions of devotion to free silver and to Mr. Bryan, but who really are against both. John R. McLean figures at the head of this proces- sion. There are other democrats who are openly opposed to free silver and to Mr. Bryan, and are almost frantic for an open- Ing to defeat both within the party. Mr. Gorman and Mr. Whitney and Mr. Cleve- land, who is closely allied with Mr. Whit- hey, stand well to the head of tbis proces- sion. The two processions have united, their leaders have joined hands, and Ad- miral Dewey as a presidential candidate is the result. The question, then, of Admiral Dewey's party is settled. He is the candidate of the miners and sappers party. The Gormans and the Whitneys are to tunnel from the outside, and th> McLeans are to touch off the mine from inside the sflver camp, and blow Mr. Bryan sky high. The scheme is a fizzle. The trick cannot be turned. ——_ + « = —_____ A Cleveland, Ohio, policeman was bound, gagged and robbed within five minutes’ walk of the police station.

One of the most pronounced results of the discovery of the Roentgen rays has been to give a great boom to the vibration theory and force its application to practically all branches of science and even to matters of profound metaphysical research. For In- stance the once languidly advocated doc- trine of the vibratory nature of thought, which is believed by some to explain many otherwise mysterious mental phenomena, has now achieved a decided dignity of rea- sonableness. Measurements are being made as to the wave-lengths of various infinitesi- mal vibrations and ether waves, heat waves, music waves, light waves and all sorts of pulsations from the veriest ripple of in- finity up to tidal waves are being examined in the hope that the secret of existence will be learned through them. Just how far the vibration theory will carry the Investigators is to be disclosed by events. It has already conducted some of them pretty far along toward pure hy- pothesis. There is even a course of inquiry into the wave lengths of mental exertions. Pulsometers, iometers and the like are applied confidently to the human system in the belief that the secrets of the soul may be wrested forth and written down in legi- ble records. Thus psychology revels in a new medium of demonstration and the end is mot yet. If these researches con- tinue it will not be long before the finest gradations of sensation, sentiment and Judgment may be scheduled and laid bare in advance of utterance or expression, thus reducing human nature to a basis of exacti- tude which will rob life of much if not all of its spontaneity. One of the latest advances in vibratory science on its promises on its face, however, to be more pleasantly profitable. A society has been formed in New York for the prose- cution of the science of healing through Tmusic. It is believed that many of the ilis that flesh is heir to spring from disordered mental systems, from Inharmonious nerves and unadjusted fibres. It is asserted that music, which is known to have a marked effect upon the mind of many hearers, will, if properly produced, with a judicious choice of chords and melodies, restore bal- ance to the mind, nerves and fibres of the body and thus produce health. The science is of course in its infancy. Much ground is yet to be covered. Many researches must be made. At present nothing is plainer than the fact that all music does not ap- peal alike to all people. The world is still divided into the rag-tlme and the Wag- nerian schools, for instance, with many gradations between these extremes. When the mind-measuring machines have made {t possible for the investigator to ac- curately schedule all the characteristics and emotional percentages of every human individual, then the music-cure may become a success. For then, and then only, will it be possible for the music healer to pre- scribe the proper tone remedy without blun- dering upon a selection which will irritate the nerves even more than before. Or meanwhile perhaps the new school proposes to attempt either to reduce all humanity to either the rag-time or the Wagnerian basis or to strike an average plane of moderate music whereon all the race may enjoy the blessings of health through vibration. The Prospect is at all events promising for a lively enterprise. ———— + = ____ A Paris paper printed an article with Aguinaldo’s signature.

Princeton, N. J., Wednesday—Former President Grover Cleveland is certainly pieased et the announcement of the can- @idacy of Admiral Dewey for President. “This is fine,” was his exclamation, when he first read the tidings. Then he added to me: “Look at his record in the Philippines. Such diplomacy was after my own heal! cool, firm, unchangeable. Long ago I be- came convinced that he was a great states- man. I knew that once a man of his per- sonality, firm and far-sighted, took the reins in his hands, the democratic party would no longer be honeycombed with the rottenness of Bryanism, but would again become the great compact organization of Jefferson's days." —_—__- = —___ Who Are the Clowns?
