THE BRITISH REVERSE. HE strained attention of the world is fixed upon TSon\h Africa. The nations have grown accus- tomed to England’s triumphant march of em- pire. Since her loss of the American colonies she has had no serious reverse. Her policy was mapped out by that British statesman who cried out: “The road to greatness is in getting land. Get land! Get land! And never surrender a single grain of sand.” In pursuance of that policy she has been getting land in every zone, and frequently with disregard of the rights of its owners and its sovereignty. But the shadow on her path amply justifies the statesmanship of Blaine, who said land should not be acquired by force when it carried an indignant and hostile -popu- lation. Where England has been able to displace an aboriginal race by planting her own people, under physical conditions that permit their perpetuation generation to generation, her policy has In Canada, New Zealand and Australia she has the moral and pI\,\"im] support of people of her own race and blood, who enjoy the benefit of her institutions. But in tropical India and throughout her conquests in the torrid zone she rules a sullen population, indignant and hostile, under a vertical sun that bars out her awn blood. / Her present aéempt is in reality to end duality of sovereignty in South Africa and make a right of way for a Cairo to Cape railroad on ground under British control. In its execution she must wipe out the two Dutch republics. Their people are in arms fighting for their independence and their homes. If they are overcome and their seli-government is destroyed the survivors will constitute that indignant and hostile population described by Mr. Blaine So far the South African republicans have the ad- vantage in the fighting. They have the enduring ad- vantage that is always with who are defending i The United States is beginning to realize what this advantage is, though from on. | we are fighting a weak and poorly equipped people. Spain defended her conquests against us only 114 days. The Filipinos have withstood us more than twice that time, and the end is not yet. It is easy to foresee the exceeding danger of Eng- land’s position. The her rings around the world. In hither and farther India and Ceylon the alien races she has subjected by force be- gin to feel the sap of manhood surge under the skin.

The Boers are utterly isolated, in an international sense. The great powers are crazed with the new doctrine that a few strong nations have the right to divide the planet between them. In the greed-gotten judgment of those who govern, a weak people, free souled but few, have no rights deserving the respect of the strong. except Holland has gone an expression of sympathy under the seal power and authority. The Boers have only the sky above them and underfoot the land they pioneered whereon their homes are built. They have gone out against Goliath of Gath, and their ammunition is from the brook Kedron.

Fenera probably means “booze,” not “spirits.” no. THE APPRO@ACHING ELECTIONS. IX States of the Union—Massachusetts, Mary- S land, Mississippi, Iowa, Kentucky and Ohio— are to elect State officers this fall, but only in Maryland, Kentucky and Ohio are the contests widely interesting. It is assured that Towa and Mas- sachusetts will go Republican and that Mis issippi will give as large a Democratic majority as the peo- ple think necessary. The votes in those States, therefore, will count for little in estimating the drift of public sentiment on any of the issues of the day, and but a slight degree of attention will be paid to them. In the other three States there are big questions in- volved and the campaigns have been waged aggres- sively on both sides. In Maryland Gorman is fight- ing for a chance to return to political power - with something of his former prestige. Divisions in the councils of the Republican party in th; State give him reason for believing he will be successful; but, | on the other hand, the gold Democrats have taken up the fight for the Republican party on the ground that Democratic success in the election would be a wvictory for Bryarism and make it difficult to carry Maryland for sound money in the Presidential con- test of next year, and their votes may counterbalance Republican disaffection. The fight in Kentucky is mainly one for honest politics against boss rule and the corrupt forces that brought about the nomination of Goebel. In a certain sense Bryanism is also at stake in that State, for Bryan has been one of the most active supporters The campaign at the outset threatened to be one of pistols and bowie knives as well as of tongue and pamphlets, for there was no limit set on either side to personal denunciations of opposing candidates and orators. Goebel himself has been denounced with all the class appeals to workingmen for the support of can- | brimstone strength and picturesque variety of Ken- didates who have never been laborers nor ployers. > em- | tucky eloquence when most inspired by animosity, genius and whisky. By common consent, however, So from no capital of any country | American | it seems to have been agreed that a stump speech is a privileged communication and there have been neither duels nor libel suits to mar or interfere with the free flow of oratory. There are four tickets in the field, and as the chances are the honest Demo- crats and the Populists' will draw their strength from the regular Democracy headed by Goebel, there is a good prospect for a sweeping Republican victory, provided a fair count can be obtained. It is in Ohio that the political interest of the year mainly centers. The outlook for Republican success is bright, and yet victory is by no means certain. Not only, has McLean made a vigorous canvass, but there are bitter faction fights in the Republican ranks, and, moreover, the candidacy of Mayor Jones of Toledo, who is running on a non-partisan ticket, is liable to weaken the Republican vote in some quar- ters. The chief significance of the contest is that a victory for either Jones or McLean would be claimed as a defeat of the administration. The issues of the campaign have been almost wholly national, not- withstanding the fact that McLean has tried to dodge the money plank of the platform and has sought to win votes by attacking trusts ‘and imperialism. The only other State in whose election there is much outside interest is Nebraska, where Bryan is making a personal fight for the maintenance of his prestige. He has entered upon an elaborate canvass, county by county, and should the Republicans carry the State it would be a proof that even in his own home the free silver agitator has lost influence and leadership. There is a good prospect of his defeat. The prosperity brought about by the Republican policies of protection and sound money has been felt in Nebraska as well as elsewhere, and it is likely the common sense of the voters will prompt them to cast their ballots for the party of good times rather than for that of calamity. B — Reports from the South African battlefields have all the delightful interest of misinformation. The military authorities at London are evidently manipu- lating paper armies while the Boers are making vacancies in the roll of British officers on the field. DUTY OF REPUBLICAN LEGISLATORS. INCE it seems settled beyond all questioning S that Gage will call an extra session of the Legislature to promote the railroad scheme for sending Burns to the United States Senate, and since it appears impossible for the indignation of the peo- ple to prevent the plan from being carried out, there remains but one safe course for Republicans to pur- sue—those of them who at the last session baffled th schemes of the Kentucky corporation must now unite | " MORE ERAISE FOR THE CALL'S “HOME STUDY CIRCLE.” VALLEJO, Cal., Oct. 27, 1899, examined with care the plan of The Call's Home Study Cir_ cle and believe it may be of gen- |uine value to the reading public.

At the last session it was found to be impossible | to organize into a compact and united body the full strength of Republican opposition to the railroad. Many of the members were pledged to one or more of the various candidates who represented genuine Republicanism, and a sense of loyalty prevented them from leaving their own leader to take up the cause of another. At the coming session a different course should be pursued. It is plain to the under- standing of any intelligent man that unless all the strength of true Republicanism be exerted the tre- mendous combination which can and will be exerted by Gage and Herrin and the other corrupt forces back of Burns will either win a triumph for him or else prevent the election of a Senator. The rank and file of stanch Republicans through- out the State are not committed to any particular candidate for the Senate. They ask only that the Republicans in the Legislature get together and elect « Republican of sterling honesty, known ability an:d well attested public spirit and patriotism. The party is not lacking in men worthy of Senatorial honors, and it ought to be a comparatively easy task for Re- publican legislators to agree upon such a man in opposition to the adventurer whom the railroad has put up as “Herrin's candidate.” 5 To bring about the harmony which will assure the co-operation of all good Republicans in the Legisla- ture is the duty of the hour so far as State politics are concerned, and steps should be taken toward its accomplishment at once. The railroad, the Governor and the other leaders and touts of the Burns forces have been active for some time. In fact, they have been working more or less energetically ever since the | close of the last session. Their faction in the Legis- lature will be as strong as organization can make it and will be directed with as much skill as the astute wire-pullers at the head of it can exercise. A com- bination of that kind cannot be beaten by a divided party. Sooner or later a Senator to fill the vacancy from this State must be filled, and if the rep- resentatives of true Republicanism cannot agree upon a candidate and elect him, then the railroad gang will. A divided party, no matter how excellent be the men who compose it, can never defeat a thoroughly organized and disciplined faction, no matter how vicious the faction may be. A certain number of votes are required to elect a United States Senator. If honest Repnblicans unite they will have the votes needed for victory. If they remain divided they can elect no one, and in the end some of the weaker mem- bers will go over to the railroad and elect the candi- date of the corporation. Davitt’s determination to resign his seat in Parlia- ment by way of protest against the war waged for the overthrow of the Transvaal has not been received with much favor by other Irish members. Redmond is reported to have called it a “play to the galleries,” and there seems no inclination to imitate the per- formance. About the only good reason the Phelanites can give for objecting to Republican references to national issues in the present campaign is that they have no record of their own on national issues they are will- ing to talk about. —_— 1t is reported that up to date the British Intelli- gence Department has had no difficulty in keeping informed of the plans of the Boers. If General Jou- bert would only disguise them as jokes no English- man would be able to unravel them. Cupid has won another victory. Judge Seawell has decided that the marriage of a school teacher is not in the meaning or law or sense an offense suffi- cient to deprive any of the fair sex of the means of livelihood. —_— The vehemence with which two Oakland ministers are scoring each other is something more than a mild intimation that the spirit of peace is still hover- ing out of reach. —_— Latest reports from South Africa indicate that Lord Wolseley's doctored reports of battles have not interfered very seriously with the aim of Boer sharpshooters.
