When to those are added the numbers of killed since ['that report was issued and the number that have died or will die of wounds and disease, the total loss will be a ghastly proof of the fighting capacity of the Boers. Nor, despite the sanguine tone of Roberts' latest dispatch, is it certain that the end is yet in sight. Neither Dewet, Botha nor Kruger is going to be caught in a trap like Cronje. They have the freedom of the mountains and the vast plains for the exercise of their strategy and the British will have to ride hard, ride fast and ride long before they have the satisfac- | tion of knowing that the last Boer commando has | been captured and the flag of the Transvaal has dis- appeared from South Africa and the world.

Some of the regions which in former times were the richest and most capable of supporting buman life in the highest degree of civilization are now so poor as to be veritable deserts. Nor is there any doubt that the change from wealth to wretched- ness among the inhabitants of those districts has been due almost wholly to the destruction of the forests, which in old times ciothed the hills and acted as natural reservoirs of the streams. Sooner or later California will have to adopt a com- prehensive system of forest protection and every year of delay is an economic blunder of the most costly kind. If we do not act promptly to save the woods we have it will not be long before we shall have to enter upon a highly expensive and slow system of re- foresting the bare hills. It is cheaper and better to save what we have than to waste the rich stores of to- day and then toil for a century to partially replace them The issue is before the people. The object lessons are multiplying fast. Not a week passes without some such record as that which has just been received from Los Angeles. Forest protection, therefore, should be made an issue in the State campaign.

In his second message to Congress, Lincoln said, “We cannot escape history,” but Colonel Bryan seems to think differently and Mr. Denison is radically of the » opinion. The cold and sober truth is that every charge of tyranny and imperialism made now against President McKinley by Colonel Bryan was made against Lin- coln by the Democracy. Men who were yet living and supporting Bryan in 1806 declared in 1864 that coln’s re-election would usher in the empire. We venture therefore to re-emboss the pages of his- | tory on which the public life of Lincoln is written and venture to deny that he was the Democratic candidate for the Presidency in #860 and 1864. of Roberts 1 THE SOUTH AFRICAN STRUGGLE. O NCE more Lord Roberts has cheered the Brit- ish public with the announcement that he has one of the chiel armies of the Boers cornered so that it cannot escape. This time it is Botha who is supposed to be surrounded and Buller and Pole- Carew are the British commanders who have the task of crushing him. Perhaps the sanguine expectations this time be realized, but it will be remembered that last week Dewet was believed to be surrounded, but managed to get away, and Botha may have an equal skill in dodging his foes. It has been a military marvel that the Boer com- manders have held out so long against the over- whelming forces against them. They are pursued by hali a dozen armies, each larger than their own. When one British force is wearied another takes up the: pursuit, but the Boers have no relief. Their marching and fighting are incessant and nothing but a patriotism of the firmest and most inspiring order could uphold them so long in a struggle against their poweriul foes. Even the British have recognized the skill and the valor of their opponents and some among them have openly acknowledg2d the merit of the Boers and their leaders. The war correspondent of the London Telegraph, for example, recently said of Iicwet: “Rundle, Hunter and Methuen are chasing him for three months; he has held the former at bay. Thirty thousand men are watching for him on the borders of Natal; he has swooped on the lines of communica- tion, and apparently, with a paitry 7000 men, is keep- ing them all busy. A whole battalion of yeomanry, ia regiment of militia and warm clothing for his whole army have been captured. Honor to whom honor is due, and the first time an English cavalry leader, act- ing under the same conditions as now surround De- wet, captures 1000 men, half of them cavalry; breaks up lines of communication and plays general Old Harry with a force of something very near 80,000 | men, then I shall speak of him in terms of approba- | tion.” Dewet's 7000 meh have been scattered.

So the long struggle scems | to be nearing the end at last. It began with the Boer ultimatum delivered last October and has, therefore, | been going on for nearly a year.

R | EPORTS from London are to the effect that the recent decision of the House of Lords re- straining Lord Rosebery from republishing | his speeches from the Times is “scoffed at asa ridicu- { | lous example of legal casuistry.” The scoffers have, of course, given much less consideration to the sub- ject than the Judges who decided it, and that is the reason they scoff. On the face of the case the de- cision does indeed appear absurd, but a moment’s re- flection will, we believe, convince any one that es- sential justice has been done and that the decision is as sound in morals as in law. It will be remembered that the facts of the case are these: Some time ago Lord Rosebery desired to publish a volume of his speeches and addresses, and | entered into an agreement with a publisher named | Lane to do the work. In preparing the volume cer- | tain copies of speeches were taken from the London Times without alteration and included in the volume. The Times brought suit to have the publication re- strained on the ground that it would be a violation of the Times copyright of its reports. It was claimed Ehy Lane that Rosebery is the author of the speeches, | that the Times reporter is not the author of them, and that no reporter can obtain a copyright on 2 reported speech that will exclude the right of the In deciding the case in favor of the Times, the Lord Chancellor stated that no man has a right to take to himself the work of anothet without paying for it. Rosebery or any other orator can have his speeches taken down by a stenographer and printed if he chooses, but if he does not choose he cannot then take the reports of some other man who has done the reporting and the printing at his own expense. To make a report requires skill and labor, and to publish the result requires capital, and no man has a right to appropriate to himself what has been achieved by the labor, the skill and the capital of an- other. g There is no legal casuistry about such a decision as that. It does not deprive Lord Rosebery of any right to his own speeches. He can write them out and publish them when he pleases, but he cannot take the report that some one else has written out. The decision is a victory for the principle that “the laborer | 1s worthy of his hire.” by the work which a newspaper has done and paid for he must pay for it. He cannot steal it. Such is British law, according to the House of Lords, and | those who scoff at it are more sarcastic than reason- | able.

And I notice that these people who make these hypothetical pro- testations do not, as the widow did, give of the little they possess. They exempt themselves from contributing even a farthing according to their means.” The Cardinal told anecdotes of great men to illustrate the lesson he was en- deavoring to inculcate. He spoke of the diligence, patience and persistence of Michael Angelo, of the attention to details ald by Isaac Newton and of the pains Pestowed upon his work by Lord Temny- s on. ‘The Cardinal closed his sermon with a few words of admonition. “Ldt me admonish you to begin each day as a rational Christian man by con- secrating that day to God.” he said, “Thus you will sanctify all the actions of the day.” ART AND ARTISTS. 1SS FLORENCE LUNDBORG, re- cently returned from the artists’ Mecca, Paris, has taken a studio in the Latin quarter of San Fran- cisco, in the old Montgomery block. Misg Lundborg has much that is inter- esting to tell of the famous Whistler, with whom she studied for a winter; of her work in Paris and Florence and of other Californian girls who are winning laurels in the French capital. It appears that the distinguished Whis- tler, having exhausted most of the other sensations in life—such small matters as the painting of world-famous pictures, the foundation of the foremost school of modern painters, the writing of books, | the conduct of newspaper correspond- ences whose irresistible insouciance echoed through both hemispheres, and so | on—about three vears ago decided that | all the possibilities of “The Gentle Art of Making Enemies” had not been tested, | and-he announced his intention of taking a few clever students into his atelier. Of course, the response was immediate. The artist was besieged by would-be stu- dents, and soon the two studios—one for men and one for women—were crowded with the cleverest of the Parisian art pu- pils. But soon it was observed that the eccentric maitre devoted an altogethex disproportionate share of attention to the feminine portion of his clientele, with the resuit that the other half became furious- ly jealous. Whistler, however, serenely disregarded the rising discontent, only ac- knowledging its existence by an emphatic statement that the future of art was in the hands of women—a sufficiently re- markable dictum, but probably only rep- resentative of a momentary mood. Among the list of those fortunate enough to be admitted into the Whistler ranks, the Californian giris claim an un- usual proportion. During Mr. Whistler's two winters of teaching no fewer than five Californian girls have studied with him—Miss abel Deming of Sacra- mento, Miss Marion Holden, Miss Carrie Rixford, Mrs. A. F. Matthews and Miss Florence Lundborg—and held their own there, and perhaps a little more, with the rest of the American contingent. Mr. ‘Whistler did not teach last winter, but announces a_present intention of resum- ing his studio classes during the nexi winter geason. Miss Lundborg has not settled down to serious work yet; she is perhaps resting a_little on her Parisian laurels. The “‘Rubaiyat,” which this clever Californian +has illustrated for William Doxe{. will be out in the early autumn, as well as an illustrated edition of “The Recessional.” Altman, a promising young San Francisco artist, has been appointed t master of sketching and %:: lrocuvo at the California School of ugn. in place of the late R.

Editor The Call—As to the Grand Jury system allow me to suggest a plan, and | if carried out it will no doubt be a god- | send to this State. It is that the entire press of this State see to it that their candidates for the Senate and Assembly should pledge themselves to see that a bill is passed at the next session in re- gard to the qualifications of a Grand Juror, as follows: That no person can become a member of a Grand Jury who is related to any city or county official, who is the bondsman of any city or county official, who is related to any bondsman of any city or county official or who is interested in any con- tract, directly or indirectly, with the city or county.

The upshot of the libel suit of Charles ‘Williams against The Call was a verdict of ong cent damages, awarded last week by a jury in the United States Cirenit Court at San Francisco. This fellow Wil- llams was exposed by The Call as a rascally adventurer, at a time when he was engaged to be married to a San Fran- cisco heiress. That he had the assurance to sue The Call, under the circumstances, is astonishing. He asked for damages to the amount of $255,000, and the award of one cent shows the jury’s estimate of the h’l%ury his reputation suffered. he Call did society a service in its revelation of Williams' shady career, and is_entitled to commendation. The Bee has been the defendant in many libel suits of a like kind. and alwaws came out triumphant. Juries may be trusted to stand by a newspaper that does its duty in showing up frauds and impostors.
