ENGLISH TIRING OF WAR. The growing discontent in England over the Boer war is an en conraging sign. It took seven or eight years English that the war of George III. and Lord North on the colonies was a great blunder, but conviction came at last. A cable dispatch to the New York “Herald” of Sunday says of the change going on in the English opinion of the Boer war that “sentiments which a year ago would have been denounced as pro-Doer are now openly advoeated in the strongest jingo papers.” This shows the growing discontent over the prolonged war. Martial law in Cape Colony, cutting oft London from all news save such as trickles through official sources intensifies the general irritation. With more than two hundred thousand troops to be maintained in South Africa, while new borrowings and still higher taxes loom np in the near future, itis not surprising that there is dis- content It will take more decided shape in time, as it did in the case of the American colonies. The conviction of a Boer commandant of treason and his exeeution with thatof others give an idea of the sangui- nary character the war has assumed, and will stir up the Boers of Cape Colony and Natal to more vigorous efforts to aid General Botha. Prac. tically the whole rural population of Sonth Africa is Boer. The British are mostly confined to the seaports and the mines All the population of Dutch descent are united in dislike of the British, and they are not likely to be enred of this dislike by martial law and executions for trea. gon and disloyalty. to couvinee the i i The American people are glad to see that President Roosevelt, like President McKinley and Cleveland, does not favor tearing down, altering or enlarging the White House, but "believes that the historic mansion, rich with the associations and traditions of a century, should be kept as it is. Noting the suggestion that the White House is too small for his family, which is the largest that has ever occupied it, the President states that be is well content with it as an official and per. sonal residence, and that neither he nor Mrs. Roosevelt desires any al terations or additions. We hope the noble mansion—true in its ideas of republican simplicity —will stand as it does to-day for hundreds of years, It should be reverenced by Americans as Windsor Castle is by the English. Both Governor Stone and Justice Potter treat the reported leak age in the supreme court by the latter very gingerly. Judge Potrer de clines to say anything on the subject, while Governor Stone in his care ful denial, white rejecting thy “Press” report of the telephone corres pondence as & whole, does not deny that he received early information from Judge Potter as to how the supreme court stood on the ripper bill. This information the governor used in the Legislature, and there is little doubt that Recorder Brown had the same knowledge and from the same sources of information. The recorder can see no harm in it, and declares the court has always been leaky ; that the Potter offense “has been done hundreds of times before,” and that the supreme court “have communicated with me in almost a similar manner” It this is so—if such a grea: public offense is common—is it not about time the supreme court was reconstracted § One way to help dothat is to elect Mr. Yerkes and return Mr. Potter to his partnership with Governor Stone.
