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.
