THE BOER WAR BROUGHT UP TO DATE Leading Facts and Figures and the Casualties of Each Side in the Big Battles and Skirmishes. I BREACHES OF NEUTRALITY. [ HERE is rising talk in England of a demon- T stration against Portugal because Boer stores l are believed to be landed in Delagoa Qay and | Boer recruits go that way to join the fighters. ; There is something amazing in the coolness wn‘h h the seizure of the port of Lourenzo Marquez is proposed as a measure to end the war in three | months by shutting out supplies which are now sup- posed to reach the Boers over Portuguese territory. But how about the military supplies which are | reaching England across United States territory? Food for men and horses and millions of cartridges are furnished to England within our jurisdiction and are moved across our territory to be used against the Boers. English military stores originating in Canada are moved from British territory into ours, and are prepared within our jurisdiction for shipment %o ‘the Cape. Will any one explain why this is not a violation of the neutrality laws if the shipment of stores to the Boers across Portuguese territory is such violation? The Boers cannot reach us except by a protest, to which this Government has paid no attention because | the two Dutch republics cannot compel our obser- | vance of meutrality. But England can reach Portu- | gal, a weak power, and in pursuance of her criminal ;azzressinn in South Africa can safely bully that Gov- ernment, while a cowardly world looks on, indifferent |to the right or wrong of the proceeding. If Lou- renzo Marquez is occupied by a British fleet, and Delagoa Bay is seized to shut off Boer supplies, and | the United States continue to pour war supplies into the lap of Great Britain it will be the crime of the ages. The people of this country do not wish their Gov- ernment to be a party to such an act. The peddlers who are selling pork and powder to Great Britain should have less influence at W: than the people, whose republican sympathies stronger than their greed. The people do not wish this country to hold John Bull's coat while he whips the Boers. Already there has been too much official sympathy shown toward | England. We have officially notified the world that this country has never recognized the Transvaal Re- public. The people think this would be a good time to correct that omission by granting such recognition and sending a Minister to Pretoria and requesting President Kruger to send one here. The recognition of a Government is, under our cus- If President McKinley would at once recognize the Transvaal and ask Congress t> diplomatic relations with that country he would be acting in line with American tradition and practices, and no act would command Suppose shington are tom, an executive act appropriate -money to assume wider or more exultant support. we miss thereby the sale, of a few barrels of pork and | powder; we would have had neither to sell except for the republican principle which made this Government and created all the materialities of its people. If England occupy Lourenzo Marquez that cow. ardly act of wanton power should be instantly fol lowed by American recognition of the Transvaal. It would powerfully stimulate republican institutions everywhere and would somewhat redeem and brighten a fame that has been tarnished by our own imperial follies. It will violate no open treaty with Great Britain. She is not fighting rebels against her au- thority. The Boers are not her subjects. She has solemnly acknowledged their independence. She cannot fairly object to a like acknowledgment recognition by this Government. and To permit her to bully Portugal, and use us and | our territory for the same purpose which she uses as | a pretext for seizing Delagoa Bay, will make us the jackal among nations and subject us to practical vas- salage to Great Britain. If we dare to be independent and republican the way is open in the formal recognition of the Trans- vaal as a nation. D e — A new warning on the subject of consumption comes in the report from Michigan that a numbet of clerks engaged in examining the State records were | attacked by the disease. The books were examined by a bacteriologist, who found them full of tubercle | bacilli. It is thought that they became infected from a clerk who had consumption, and who had the habit of moistening his thumb with saliva when he turned a page. B — SOUTHERN PATRIOTISM AND BATTLE | PARKS. OME sensitive patriots were once of the opinion S it would be a false policy on the part of the Government to provide any lasting memorials of the Civil War. Such people ieared that all monu- ments or celebrations of that kind would tend to keep alive the animosities of the South and to perpetuate the feeling of antagonism to the Union. Even Charles Sumner shared the belief, and he once in- troduced into the Senate a resolution providing that the names of battles fought during the Civil War be erased from the flags of the regiments. All such fears were ill-founded; the Southern peo- ple have returned to the Union with as keen a love | for the old flag and an appropriation as the people of any other portion of the country. Their attitude toward the Government and the war has been | strikingly illustrated by the course taken by them with respect to the establishment of national parks | on battle-fields where victories were won for the | Union. The Southerners were at one time sensitive on the subject and showed some dislike to the parks established on their soil to commemorate the defeat of their kinsmen. In a comparatively short time, however, they began to take a different view of the matter. They are very sagacious fellows, these Southerners. They soon observed that battle parks | are attractive pleasure-grounds, and they set about encouraging the Government to provide them wher- ever there could be shown any slightest reason for { them. The city oi Atlanta is the latest aspirant for a na- | tional park. This city has some reason for remem- ibrring the war with a shudder. It was there that | Sherman gave the country a demonstration of his | favorite theory that “war is hell” He shelled the | city while it was filled with women and children and | burned it to the ground after he captured it. One | has to go back to the dark ages to find instances of war waged as remorselessly as Sherman waged it st Atlanta. All that, however, counts for nothing now. The Atlanta people perceive a chance to get a large, | well-kept park provided for them at the expense of | the National Government, and it matters nothing to | them that it will commemorate their defeat in a war fought years ago by men of a former generation. The thing that interests them is that it will be a pleasure- ground for the men of this and of future generations | and will cost them nothing. In urging the enterprise upon Congress the Atlanta | Constitution says: “The movement concerns not one but the brigades of both armies, and if it be success- ful, as it should be (for it gppeals to the highest sen- timents of both sides), the national park which wijl be the result will commemorate the valor displayed by the troops of both armies in all the great battles that occurred in the immediate vicinity of Atlanta. It is fitting that the Federal Government, which now stands for all who were engaged, should establish the proposed national park and embellish it on 2 scale commensurate with the heroism displayed in the struggle in which the American soldiers were matched against themselves.” In conclusion the Constitution adds: “We cannot conceive of an objection that can be made against the acquirement of the battle-field of Peachtree Creek by the Government and the establishment on that historic ground of a national park.” Certainly The Call has no objection to urge. Our only regret is that Fremont did not have a fight with somebody on the site of Sutro's forest so that we could get the National Government to buy that and give a free park to San Francisco as well as to Atlanta. If it be true, as reported, that Great Britain has |in Africa, we can now understand why the Kaiser was so eager to visit his grandmother immediately after | the war with the Boers hroke out, and also why he ——— OUR MERCHANT MARINE. w ITH a view of presenting to Congressmen a of the upbuilding of the American merchant marine engaged in foreign trade the Marine Re‘ view of Cleveland, Ohio, has issued an attractive and leading statesmen,enaval officers, ship-owners, ship- i builders, manufacturers and merchants. Among the | contribut8rs are such men as Admirals Dewey, Samp- | derson, E. T. Chamberlain, Commissioner of Navi- ! gation, and T. C.

There would be an equal wisdom in learnirg from a competitor in commerce. The facts compiled in this little pamphlet are timely and | can hardly fail to have influence upon the minds of | Congressmen when they come to vote upon the ship- | ping bill at this session. D | General Roberts can hardly regard his appointment to command in South Africa as an acceptable Christ- mas gift, for it may cause him the loss of the laurels Ir'xc,hm rather than provide him with new ones.

We are thus in danger of having a new agitation on that subject and another disturbance of the conditions {upon which our prosperity is based. An illustration of the promptness with which the free trade organs afe taking advantage of the opening is afforded by the comment of the New York Post upon a bill introduced by Senator Lodge amending the tariff so as to put hides on the free list. Tt is well { known that the manufacturers of boots and ‘shoes have long desired free hides, and the bill is a move- ment to accomplish the fulfillment of their desire. Referring to the efforts of the manufacturers to get rid of the duty on hides the Post says: “They will not get it repealed, however, or not in the direct way proposed by Senator Lodge, because that would re- open the whole tariff question. They may get it done, | however, by way of reciprocity. There is a treaty now pending with Argentina in which hides are admitted | at 20 per cent reduction of the Dingley tax. Let the Senators from Massachusetts get this treaty amended to admit hides from Argentina free. This can be done in secret session, and even if it were in open session there would be no effective qpposition to it. Then the same rule that we apply to Argentina would needs be applied to other South American countries, and grad- ually we shall get back to the happy condition we were in before Dingley took hold of the matter, and without danger of reopening the whole tariff ques- tion.” It is not to be denied the satire of that is clever, nor that the argument is good. Why (r)" to amend the tariff when every particle of protection can be eliminated by reciprocity treaties? If by treaties with foreign countries the industries of California can be deprived of the advantages of protection, why may not other treaties leave the interests of Eastern manu- fecturers equally exposed? 1t is wisdom on the part of the leaders of a politi- cal party to pay attention to the attacks of opponents. The foe is very sure to pick out the weakest point of a particular policy and assail it. The reciprocity provisions of the tariff law as applied by Kasson are the weak points in the tariff policy of the administra- tion, and such attacks as are made upon it by acute critics like the Post are bound to hurt the party if the tactics are pursued. | Francisco Custom-house yesterday on his British General Symons mortally wounded.
