Roberts’ failure to inlercept the Boers who are retiring northward from the siege of Wepener is, of course, a cause of regret to the British. But it by no means indicates that his campaign in eastern Free State has not been of benefit to him. The tlanks of his army are now well protected, covering virtually the entire breadth of the Free States, as far north as Kimberley on the west and Thaba N’Chu on the east. ‘This means that his line of communications southward is guarded as it has not been heretofore since his occupation of Bloem- fontein. There was a time, shortly after the advance to the Free State capital, when Roberts’ rear was in serious danger. The Gsolation of Dalgetty at Wepener illustrated his condition of affairs plainly, and the relief of that place fs in itself a distinct achievement, even though the trap to cap- ture the investing Boers did not close in season. It was absolutely indispensable that the British commander should secure a clear country In his rear before moving in mass northward to attack the Boers be- tween him and Pretoria. The time occupied in effecting this condition has been well spent, it is belleved, In recuperating the forces and recruiting the quartermaster supplies and the means of transport. The lack of horses has bothered Roberts, ac- cording to occasional dispatches, more than he has been willing to admit officially. But the expectation ts that he believes himself ready for the long delayed advance. His rapid movement to Bloemfontein led many to expect that he would continue his sweep northward and make short work of the then demoralized Boer armies. But, lke a Gen. conservative commander, operating in a hostile country, with an army that required constant communications with the main base of supplies, he preferred to allow the enemy to recuperate. and concentrate and, doubtless, to Intrench rather than to risk a disaster through a heedless advance while the foe was most vulnerable. Were he operating against a more definitely or- ganized and a less mobile foe, he could probably have safely risked a rush north- ward after capturing Cronje’s army and the Free State capital. But the slippery, ununiformed Boers have a habit of trans- forming themselves in short order from de- termined soldiers imto peaceful looking farmers. Entire commandoes have been dispersed in this manner within a few hours after encountering an emergency, leaving the British forces nothing to fight. Under these conditions it would have been doubly hazardous for the British to force their way into the north, only perhaps to find them- selves suddenly cut off by the reassembling Boers, through whose scattered -numbers they had made progress for a distance un- molested. It is assumed from the recent re- ports that Roberts has now succeeded in driving out the hostile Boers from the Free State lying south of Bloemfontein and that he will shortly begin to report a series of advances which are virtually certain to lead before long to a more or less decisive engagement somewhere in the vicinity of Kroonstad, which is reported to have been heavily Intrenched by the Boers. ——__ + + = _____ John B. Wight. Commissioner Wight in retiring from his post at the close of his term next month wi'l carry with him the good wishes and warm personal regards of a very large portion of our community. Mr. Wight on taking office brought to his post abundant energy, intelligence and famillarity with local affairs, coupled with the highest de- gree of personal integrity. He applied him- self to his new work with painstaking de- votion. Believing In the doctrine that an administrator should be famillar with the detat's of his field, he studied the condi- tions of the District government at first hand and was soon adept in the routine of the various departments which were spe- cially assigned to him. In his conduct of the police, fire and health bureaus he showed particular capacity, visiting other cities In an effort to compare the local con- ditions with those elsewhere and to learn ways and mans of improvement. The fruits of his enterprise In this direction have appeared from time to time in reforms which have in virtually every instance brought ready returns for the strengthen- ing of the whole system of local govern- ment. In his management of the fire de- partment especialy has he been success- ful. The improvements which have been adopted at his instance have brought that service up to a higher point of efficiency than it has ever before attained. The same good work has appeared in connection with the police department, which shows Mr. Wight’s regenerative touch in many par- ticulars, while his study of matters affect- ing the health of the city has been thor- ough and productive of important better- ments. Mr. Wight has encountered, of course, many problems which taxed his patience and his abfifties, but it is due to him to say that he has solved such problems in the main satisfactorily. His efforts to secure the abolition of grade crossings, in con- nection with his colleagues, have alone marked his administration with success, in view of the advanced state of legislation toward that end. The regret which the people of the District feel for the retire- ment of this conscientious, efficient Com- missioner from his trying duties 13 only tempered with the realization that he is to transfer his responsibilities to one who commands the confidence of the community and who is, In many respects, very much the same style of man and worker. ——_—_+ «= —____ Ninety-One More. This week's contribution by the House of Representatives to the year's list of spe- clal pension bills laws 1s ninety-one cases, which were hustled through yesterday un- der the new rule which sets aside one day out of every seven for this purpose. Nine- ty-one instances in which the claimant nuld not meet with the requirements of e statutes were taken up out of charity, favoritism, al ¥ or personal en the seal of special en- Having been rej in most in- stances by the pension bureau these cases must have represented the toughest of auts to crack. They doubtless involved com- plex considerations of law and fact. The necessity for acute discriminations was un- questionably keener in connection w'th them than with the multitude of cases weekly adjudicated by the bureau. Yet the House, with a limited force for special dealing and examination and the bareat fragment of time for debate, did not hesi- tate to venture upon the thin ice of equity and pass these ninety-one acts, which are certain to Incite scores and hundreds of other claimants to seek the same privileges, There were, of course, some virtuous and deserving cases among the ninety-one. Pa- triotism and honor often demand excep- tional treatment of Individuals. The widow of Colonel Stotsenberg, who was killed in the Phillppines, for example, was yester- y granted an allowance which she could not have secured under the law. Do not these repeated evidences of the generosity and carelessness of Congress prove that the special act privilege should be reserved for just such cases as that of Mrs. Sto:- senberg and not extended to the thousands of claimants who, with far less warrant than that woman, lay their claims before Congress each session and, In far too large a proportion, secure favorable action? ee David B.

Allen's Unpretentious Arrival. A few days ago the air was vocal with the criticisms which were being leveled at the administration for its design to impreas the people of Porto Rico by planning a grand, spectacular entrance of Governor Aljlen upon his arrival at the capital, Here showed the “imperialistic” tendencies of the President. Gilt and fine trappings were to cover a deep-laid policy of oppression. ‘Tha new governor was to pose before the simple peasants of the island as a creature with royal prerogatives. They were to be awed. Governor Allen arrived yesterday on the scene of his new dutles. He was clad soberly in blue serge and white duck, with a straw hat. He rode in phtin state to his new quarters, bowed genially to the people, sbook hands democratically with those he met, and in general carried himself as would the average American executive offi” cer in charge of his jurisdiction. And now those same critics who were so recently -pro- claiming a program of offensive ostentation on the part of the new governor are bewall- ing the fact that the opportunity was lost to show the natives of Porto Rico the dig- nity of the American rule. The affair is described in head-lines and side comments as a fiasco because of Its simplicity. The quiet of the occasion is attributed to the sullenness of the people. THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY. The ease of the governor's manner of ar- rival is derided as a cheap attempt to pose for the lower classes, The absence of the very features which were heralded so lately as characterizing an obnoxious program is condemned as impolitic. This state of things fllustrates fairly well what Is to be expected throughout the sum- Tuer as a result of the requirements of the campaign. An appeal is to be made at every point to the prejudices, ignorance and nar- rowness of the people instead of to their ccmmon sense, their patriotism, their pride. The decent acts of honest administrators in the newly acquired territories are certain to be distorted and ridiculed. Their well- meaning efforts to evolve order out of the chaos of a change of sovereignty will be proclaimed as blunders. The calm of the new members of the American system will be described by watchful correspondents as the sullenness of despair or the angry calm preceding revolt. In short, the season for faking, misrepre- senting, distorting and general craftiness in campaign reporting is about to open, with an abundance of material never before equaled in the history of American politics. The demand upon American credulity will sorely test the nerves of the nation. ———_~+ = —____. Minister Wu very amfably and interest- ingly criticises American women and their undomestie ambitions.

From the Milwaukee Wisconsin, The demand for school reform in Wash- ington, D. C., is about to be granted. The Senate committee before which the charges brought against the school system of the capital were formally laid has made a sup- plementary report which sustains the charge that too much attention has been paid to the development of the high schools, while the lower grades have been corre- spondingly neglected. Thirteen years ago @ system of examinations was in vogue that served as a barrier to a too rapid ad- vance of the pupils through the various grades, and supplied the high schools with a better class of graduates from the grades. These examinations were abolished and a policy of rushing the pupils toward the high schools inaugurated. The ambi- tion of teachers turned toward the work of graduating the greatest number of pupils in the race toward the high schools, and in consequence the pupils who graduated from the graded schools soon became a woefully deficient lot. The mistake at Washington consisted in going to extremes. The old-time examina- tion system may have been too exacting and in need of reform; but it had some good elements, and these should have been retained. The bars should not have been let down altogether. In Milwaukee the old- time examination has been revised, and ef- fort is made to enable the brighter pupils to proceed through the grades at a pace commensurate with their intellectual de- velopment. But there is a weakness even in this system, growing out of the policy of holding a teacher responsible for the ina- bility of a class to pass after the prescribed amount of schooling in the various grades. This inclines the teach- er toward a policy of leniency in her markings, and inaugurates a sys- tem of rushing that has the ill effects which were experienced more severely in Washington only because the rushing evil was there more pronounced. Owing to the fact that her affairs are managed by Congress, and are therefore in the hands of uninfluenced non-residents, Washington has been able to bring about a reform. —————~+2___ A Closed Issue. From the Philadelphia Times, The protracted and earnest debate on the right of Mr. Quay to be admitted to the Senate by the appointment of Governor Stone, will doubtless make the decision *of the Senate a final determination of the is- sue. There is little likelihood that any governor will hereafter assume the author- ity to fill a vacancy in the Senate that did rot occur during tho recess of the legisla- ture. Hereafter senatorial deadlocks in a legislature will be well understood to mean that the state shall be unrepresented until the legislature performs its duty. ————~ +s _____ Farther Senntorial Sanitation.
