British troops, besides the civic pop-.

The Sun mistakes the issues
when it shrieks: ‘‘These men de-
serve to be free.” .. Certainly’ they
do, and ‘the purpose for ‘which Brit-
ish soldiers are fighting is not to
deprive them” of freedom, but to
compel them to concede equal. free- |
dom to their, British ! fellow-citizens. |
Everybody admits that the, Boers
are brave, but, that: does not. make
their cause just. To bring the mat-

THE GAME PLAYED OUT.

_ The game of the tricksters is
played out and the people are to
have an opportunity to pass judg-

. Menton the legislature which has
cursed the province with bad laws
and blocked the passage ot good
laws during the last year and a
half. It isa poor commentary on
the material of which the legisla-
ture is composed that no better man
than Joe Martin could be fauhd to
carry on the government in. the in-
terval between the dissolution of
the present and the assembling of
the new legislature. Yet it appears
that this was the only | alternative
left open, atter the defeated govern-

_ ment had joined with the leaders of |
Opposition in a disgraceful scheme
to sink their differences and divide
the spoils. ‘If anything further was
needed to damn this scheme, it is
the attempt to secure the majority
of the government offices to the
capital city.

In the face of such a deal, Martin
seens to have been a last jresort.
Bad as is this last resort, it can
hardly be called worse than the
tricksters hanging desperately to
office and the other tricksters hun-
gering as desperately after office
who brazenly played football with
their pretended principles. When
representative government falls so
low, nothing can redeem it but ‘a
popular revulsion of feeling , which
shall sweep the whole disr eputable
. gang into oblivion and bring to the
front new men with new . measures.
When such men .can be found, who

* will recognize that the ,Public good:
is the highest political expediency,
British Columbia can hope to be
well governed, ‘but not until then.

PRO-BOER HYSTERICS.

The anti-English correspondent
of the New. York Sun cabled from
London last Saturday a fierce  pro-
test against the British generals for
cornering Cronje’s army and bom-
barding it into surrender. , He said:
“Atl Europe looks on in mingled
horror and admiration at the, mag-
nificent but heartrending tragedy.
already a mighty voice of protest:is

“ sising up from one end of the conti.
nent to the other. French and
Germans and Russians unite in cry-
ing:

.war, but they were wrong. The
Indians have fought bravely against
American: soldiers ‘in’ numerous
wars, but the Sun will hardly ad-
mit that the world is worse off for
their failure. The Spaniards fought,
bravely against the Americans at
Santiago, but they were wrong.

No men admire the bravery. of
Cronje and his men more than do,
‘those who were fighting against.
them, and none more regret the
stern necessity of using the’ stern
measures of war to enforce their
surrender, . But they have to act
upon the saying of ‘that unbending,
American soldier Sherman: ‘War
is hell." Cronje and his army did
not hesitate to accept the fortune of
war when it was on their side; it is
but just that they should accept’ it
when it goes against them. Reas-'
onable men of all nations will take
this view of the Boer general’s pre-
dicament and the hysterical shriéks
of-the Sun’s pro-Boer correspondent
will make no impression on them.

-EDITORIAL NOTES. - «=
- Winston. Churchill, whose name
has been omitted from the papers
only, abaut_four days. since the war:
began, has just put out. a book on
the Soudan campaign. It receives
all the advertising its author could
desire. If they do not need him to
take charge of the British empire
when this cruel war is over, Wins-
ton might come over and teach the
Yankees a few, things, about adver-
tising.—Montreal Herald.

It begins to look as if the British
generals have’ ‘completed their term
of apprenticeship.—Hamilton Her-
ald.

The men who. celieved Kimberly
ought, to be allowed to wear dia-
monds.—Tacoma Ledger.

Theré.are thousands more who’
love Britain as’ dearly and stand’
;ready to: fill up. the thinned ranks,—
Ottawa Citizen.

Britain has won the. loyalty of’
men of many nations by giving them
freedom and justice. Mohamme-
dans in India are praying for British
victory.

Just now there are not so many
British generals who are compelléd
to cable, ‘‘I regret to report.”—
Seattle P.-I.
