Just before Bishop of London and the clergy of formal and solemn letter urged all o serve the city patriotically and to ce to which they might be called; and in a public address said: ica alone, or Canada alone, or Aus- alone, or India alone. The heart of the empire nd the heart of Britain is London, and you rd to let that source and center of empirs be poisoned for the want of vigilance and r part. In another semse even more iperial question on have re ter. What is an empire And what if you allow this imperial race to be oisoned in the dens of crime and horror too many of them are reared at this mo- lared on an imperial race? ment So the city el tion in London was presented to the people, not 2s a struggle for municipal offices, but as 2 patrio duty, as a part of “imperial politics,” and as such they dealt with it. The London Chronicle in reviewing the elections of Aldermen and Mayors for the twenty-cight Town Councils into which the city government is now divided notes that in every in- stance they are men of the highest character, all of them holding eminent positions in business, in pro- fessional life, in politics and in society. Most of them are of local note only and a citation of their names would not be of significance here, but it may be noted that among the new Mayors are the Duke of Nor- folk, Mayor of Westminster; the Duke of Bedford, Mayor of Holborn, and Earl Cadogan, Mayor of Chelsea. The three noblemen are among the highest and the . richest of the British nobility. They own large estates, have hereditary duties to perform and many social obligations; yet to serve xh:i; city they are willing tc undertake the burden and worry of municipal office. | Not one of them will ever be a brilliant Mayor, but | each will be a stimulus to the ablest citizens to take part in municipal administration; and, consequently, London will have the best government that her wealth, her brains, her energy and her virtue can give her. If the better classes of the city of New York honestly desire a beiter government than Tammany gives they must follow the example set them by the nobles of England. Se long as business men neglect public service and city politics is regarded as lacking in dignity, so long will municipal affairs be badly administered. The best chafter in the world will never make a first-class government out of second- rate men. 30 Tribune Building | “The empire | | THE. SOUTH @FRICAN TRAGEDY. OWN in South Africa there is going on one D of those great world tragedies whose problems have never yet been solved to the satisfaction of humanity. On the one side is the fo.rce of a great empire tending to progress and the advancement of civilization, and on the other a free people opposed to progress and to change, holding fast to the ways | of their fathers and resolved to die rather than sur- render that freedom. The human intellect approves the cause of the empire, but the heart sympathizes with the indomitable patriots. Between the two there is no longer organized war; there is only the struggle of military power against the strength of an armed and desperate people. Civilization stands half ai- irighted at the task imposed upon her, and even in } Great Britain itself earnest and noble minds are doubt- ing whether anything victory can give will repay the appalling cost required to achieve it. In his recent speech at the Lord Mayor's banquet, Salisbury indicated a clear conception of the diffi- culties that confront him in dealing with the prob- lem, and his only word of good cheer on the subject was the expression of a hope that ere long repre- sentatives of the burghers of the Transvaal and of the Orange Free State may have seats in the Imperial Parliament and the copquered provinces be recon- | ciled to become parts of the empire as self-govern- ing states. The expression ‘of such a hope indicates on the | part of the British Premier an intention, or at least a | desire, to pursue in South Africa a policy of concilia- tion. It suggests, however, nothing definite in the way of immediate policy, nor intimates how concilia- tion can be effected with men resolved to die rather | than accept conciliation upon any other terms than | those of absolute independence. The situation so far from clearing up after the dis- persion of the Boer armies has grown darker. It is now evident that Kruger's retirement from South Africa was not a flight, but a movement for protract- ing the war by appealing to the sympathies of Europe and to the interests of the nations on the side of the patriots. So far as the representatives of the Boers have spoken at all their voices have been anything but weak or timid. Thus Kruger himself said at Mar- seilles: “I have fought with savages, but the present war is even worse. We will never surrender. We ar2 determined to fight to the last extremity, and if the republics of the Transvaal and the Orange Free State lose their independence it will be because they have | lost every man, woman and child.” Qlive Schreiner, speaking to a woman's convention at Cape Town, said recently: “I know not how it is with you; but for me, though I' should live to be a very old woman_never again while I live shall I hear the nameé of England spoken or see it written but I shail hear a whisper, ‘The oppressor. And again she said: “I know the day will come when hands will rise which will in actuality unfurl the republi- can flags and they will float free across South Africa. We may not live to see it; many of us may go down in tears and sorrow and blood to our graves; but the future is with the republicans.” Of course, too much importance ust not be at- tached to words like these. The fierce cry for vengeance on the part of the conquered has been heard after every great war. It came from the South immediately after our Civil War, and it was heard for many a year from France after the war with Ger- many. Time has cured those passions. Southern men in the war against Spain fought as valiantly as those from the North under the flag of the nation; d in France to-day the cry for “revanche” has given ay to talk of an alliance with Germany against Great Britain. The men and women of South Africa whose voices now sound like the roar heard from a “Numidian desert, with all her lions up,” may grow calmer with the years. It is to be noted that the-e is on the British side in South Africa a greater man than either Kitchener or Roberts; and that man is Cecil Rhodes, the author of the war. He has declared himself emphatically for a policy of conciliation at any and every cost. In a recent speech before the South African League at Cape Town he said: “If I could say a word to the Dutch, I would say, ‘For goodness sake, drop this business about the late war and its bitterness. whole country is one, and what a work we have be- fore us” ” Thus he purposes to appeal to the seli- interests of the patriots to get to work, to develop their country and to make it rich, promising equal rights and privileges to all. If that policy be adopted and Kitchener's harsh methods set aside there may yet be a solution of the problem that will not stagger | civilization, but it must be admitted that at this time the prospects are far from cheering. X-SECRETARY CARLISLE has just made his contribution toward the subject of Demo- pothing to say a8 to the form the reorganization should take, or as to the new policies that should be the reform movement should come and the methods by which it should proceed. SCUTHERN RESPONSIBILITY. E cratic reorganization and reform. He has adopted, but much concerning the source from which His argument is that the Democrats of the South- ern States are more responsible for Bryanism than | zny other class of people; that so long as he holds | control of the Democratic machine in the South, so long will Bryan dominate the party in the nation; and, consequently, no nfptter where the reform move- ment be initiated or what partfcular course it take, its support must come mainly from the South. He points out that of the 155 electoral votes secured at the recent election for the candidate nominated by the three allied political parties, only thirteen were chosen outside of the Southern States, and these thir- | teen were chosen in only four States by popular ma- jorities aggregating less than 50,000. Mr. Carasle notes further that, in thus allying itself | with the four mining States—Colorado, Idaho, Mon- | tana and Nevada—upon free silver and other Populist | policies, the South Has engaged in unnatural politics, | inasmuch as it has voted against its own interests, |.which are the same as those of the great industrial | and commercial States. The course thus pursued is | doubly injurious to the South, for it not only interferes with the material advancement of the Southern people, | but gives them false political ideals and weakens their influence in the nation. As to the reform mpvement itself Mr. Carlisle said: | “I do not think it makes much diffeience whtere it originates, provided it is made in good faith and on the proper basis. What I mean to say is, that if the Democrats of the South will inaugurate the move- ment, or will'join their real friends and natural politi- cal allies in an effort to unite their forces on a sound and conservative basis, the breach in the party will be closed at once, and the recent unfortunate episode in its history will be remembered only as a warning against future attempts to revolutionize the organiza- tion by coalitions with the advocates of undemocratie doctrines.” While there is an element of truth in the view thus ‘ set forth by Mr. Carlisle, it is not altogether accurate. | Bryanism is an outcome of Populism, and Populism did not start in the South, though the Southern Democrats after fighting it in their own States allied themselves with it in the West for the purpose of de- feating the Republicans. That element of discontent which has made Bryanism so formidable a force can- not be allayed by Southern conservatives. The Southerners betrayed-the Democratic organization to Bryan, but it is by no means certain that they can take it away. Despite all that Carlisle and others of his po- litical faith may hope, the chances are that when next the parties of the country align themselves in a strug- | gle for the Presidency, the conservatives of the South | will have to unite themselves with the Republicin | party and leave their old organization in the hands to which they surrendered it in 186. Wthc proceedings of the recent irrigation con- gress at Chicago with fairness, very few have warmly indorsed_the plan for undertaking irrigation at once, and sonmhave strongly antagonized it. In that section of the Uniorn, therefore, the enterprise will be received with a good deal of indifference, 2 WHAT WE HAVE TO FIGHT. HILE most of the Eastern papers have noted opposition. To overcome that opposition and win over the in- different to an earnest support of the plan a consider- able campaign of education is still necessary. As an illustration of the nature of the antagonism we have te meet it may be noted that the Baltimore American recenfly described irrigation in Arizona as “a scheme worth watching,” and stated, “It is hinted the Na- tional Irrigation Congress will endeavor to make a raid on Congress,” and then went on to say: The millions that the Government will be asked to spend on this and other irrigation schemes will be for the benefit of enterprising white men, who, if they think there is pressing need of such works, should invest their own money in tho project. Even if these works were built, it is doubtful if they would pay the interest on the investment. The waters of these streams are limited, and extremely so is the area which could by any possi- bility be irrigated. One would think from the repre- sentations of this congress that all the arable land in the country was used up, and it was necessary for the Government to come forward and rescue the people from starvation. There are hundreds of thousanis of acres in Maryland to-day which do not need any irriga- tion, and which may be bought for one-half the price per acro that the speculators demand for these arid alkall deserts in the Southwest. Settlers have here churches, schools, society and good order, whilé out there they have the burning sands of the desert and a politic convocation of snakes and gila monsters, That sort of thing is not to be dismissed contempt- uvously. It undoubtedly represents an Eastern senti- ment of considerable strength. It is, however, founded orf ignorance and can be overcome by plain statements of the truth. It has been estimated by competent engineers that there are upward of 75,000,000 acres of land in the Union that can be re- deemed by irrigation at a cost of about $140,000,000, or less than $2 an acre. The land thus redeemed will yield five times as much as any of those Maryland acres which the American says can be had so cheaply. The lands, moreover, would not be productive of centipeds and tarantulas any more than the: Maryland fields produce the pluguglies of Baltimore. Such facts must be made known, for until we have con- | verted ignorance of the East into a clear understand- | ing of the enterprise it is not likely to be undertaken by Congress. A DEMAND FOR FILIPINOS. ERE our universities treated a8 commercial Wbodies and their activities reported language of trade it would be announced just now that there is a large demand all over the country for Filipino students, and that, while the bigger uni- | versities are suspected of trying to corner the mar- | ket, there is no reason to doubt that the more en- | terprising of the smaller institutions will be able to | get their orders filled, provided they apply early. . | Such language would in no way exaggerate the | situation. In fact, our Eastern reports lead us to be- vlicve that, while the demand for American students | continues firm and the offerings are from fair to mid- | dling, with premiums for football players, there | something like a boom in the importation of Filipino | students. | It appears that no university in the East regards | itself as a real live institution unless it has at least ithc prospect of several Filipino students on its rolls. | Nor is the demand confined to universities. Other | educational institutions are in the market and are eager bidders. Thus we learn that as soon as Yale | had made a bid of free tuition to “selected Filipinos,” | two normal schools ir Minnesota immediately made |a bid for four each of the same quality on the same terms. Our Pacific Coast universities being on tha western shore line of the continent have, of course, first chance and choice in selecting Filipinos, unless shipped by way of Europe. We could, therefore, command a grade a little better, at least, than even that which a: Yale has been graded as “selected.” It is to be hoped, however, our university authorities will not attempt a | corner on the market. Every Eastern university, col- lege or normal school desiring a Filipino should be | permitted to have one. Our universities should go forward in the work of educating our own young men and women. There is no use wasting money in specu- lating in selected Filipinos in a crowded and over- gxcited market. The Supetvisors are again making a serious effort to force the telephone monopoly to pay its just debts to the city. It is not surprising that the company is meeting the endeavor with an impudence which is fit companion to the insolence with which it treats the public. Ex-Mayor Ellert is of the opinion that the local Civil Service Commission is a body of dangerous theorists. But Mr. Ellert should not forget that the Commissioners have been guilty of practices which | are worse than their theories, The Board of Supervisors appears to have reached the conclusion that its associate in local administration is a delusion and a snare. It is strange how long it takes some people to learn what others thoroughly understand. = 5 : Some surprise has been caused by’ the fact that an insane man attempted to prevent a police raid on one of the Chinese gambling dens. Perhaps the unusual and rare character of the performance upset the poor fellow’s mind. . SR & The American millionaire who has decided to pay the debts of his son-in-law, the Duke of Manchester, is probably consntulaling himself that his family is not large and that the visible supply of British Dukes is small.

B HE new Javanese Cabinet, the fourth that Marquis Ito has formed since the introduction of the Cab- inet system, will have no light task ahead of it in the settlement of the Chinese question. To the task, however, it brings much new blood and is chock full of advanced ideas. It is composed as follows: . Minister President, Marquis Ito Minister of Finance, Viscount Watanabe; Minister of Home Affairs, Baron Suyem- atsu; Minister of Justice, Baron Kaneko; Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, Mr. Hayashi; Minister of Education, Mr. Matsuda; Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Kato; Minister of Communications, Mr. Hoshl; Minister’ of War, Viscount Kat- sura; Ministers of Navy, Admiral- Yama- moto. Of the seven new Ministers who are to | serve under Marquis Ito five were active leaders of the Liberal party, which re- cently dissolved and now forms the prin- cipal part of the Constitutional Political Association, But the other two, Baron Kaneko and Mr. Kato, are non-partisan. | Perhaps the most interesting feature of this Cabinet is the fact that Marquis Ito is the only representative of the so-called olfer statesmen and that all the portfolios are held by comparatively young men. It was expected by many that there would be at least one more representative of the older statesmen in the person of Marquis Ito’s old and intimate friend, Count In- ouye, His financial ability is universally recognized to be of the highest order and he possesses the complete confidence of business circles. Of the young men Mr. Matsuda and Mr. Hayashi have been very prominent in both the Liberal party and the House of | Representatives. ey were both mem- bers of that short-lived ‘popular Cabi- net” organized in 183 by Counts Okuma and Itugaki. At that time wr. Matsuda was Minister of Finance and Mr. Haya- shi was Minister of Communications What qualifications the latter has for Ministes of Agriculturc and Commerce | have not been stated. Concerning Mr. Matsuda as Minister of Education the Japan Times says: “A man of modern education and strictly pure in morals, ha is particularly well fitted to preside over the department to which he has been ap- | pointe It is certainly to be hoped that he will adopt a liberal policy toward Christian schools. The appointment of Baron Kaneko ’ FIVE OF THE MEMBERS OF MARQUIS ITO'S NEW CABINET, WHO HA THE ADVANTAGES OF YOUNG BLOOD AND DECIDEDLY + | seemed to meet pretty genmeral approval, including that of Count Okuma, leader of the opposition. Baron Kaneko has held official positions before—as Vice Minister and also Minister of Agriculture and Com- merce. He also took a prominent part in assisting Marquis Ito In the compilation of the Imperial constitution, and has served as secretary of either the Cabinet or one of the houses of the Diet, I cannot now recall which. He is an alumnus of Harvard, “an erudite jurisconsult,” who | last year received the degree of LL.D. | from his American alma mater. Count Okuma and people in general also approve most heartily the appointment of | Mr. Kato to the foreign office. Mr. Kato speaks English perfectly and has had inti- | mate experience of foreign affairs for | many years. During his tenure of of- fice as Japanese rerresentzllve in London he acquitted himself in such a way as to | acquire exceptional popularity among Englishmen, while at the same time sen- sibly promoting his country’s interes Baron Suyematsu is Marquis Ito's in-law and served as Minister of Commu- | nications in the Ito Cabinet of 1388. He was once a member of the Nichi-Nichi Shimbun's staff, and afterward received | his first official appointment as an em- | gloye of the Cabinet in October, 1875. In anuary, 1878, he undertook a series of investigations into English and French historical compilations, and was then transferred to the !ore!gn office as third- class secretary and appointed to the le- gation in London, but he soon resigned | that post for the purpose of studying at Cambridge University, where he obtained | the degrees of bachelor of law and bach- | elor of arts. Returning to Japan in 185 he became chief of the legislative bureau. For distingulshed service during the war | with China he was raised to the nobflity with the patent of baron. He resigned | his official position in 1898 and entered the | lower house, where he showed consider- | able ability as a debater. | The comments of the vernacular press | are, on the whole, favorable to the new Cablnet. One paper calls it a “bundle of | rags” and disapproves the whole slate. Now this paper objects to Viseount Wat~ anabe, and is “4nclined to think that round men have been put into square holes.”” But the other papers are glad to have new blood infused into administra- | tive life. | The outcome of this experiment in Ja- | panese politics will be watched with the keenest interest. It is almost useless to make any forecasts, however, because in the Orient “the unexpected always hap- pens,” and some little thing may suddenly | upset all one's calculations. | | | PERSON;AL_MEN’L\'ION.
