TEN PAGES. SCnANTOX, MAY 1D02 For governor of Pennsylvania, on the Issue of an open field and fair play, JOHN P.' ELKIN, of Indiana, subject to tho will of the Republican masses. .. The Revolt Spreads. T HE Philadelphia Ledger. rained for the accuracy of Its news and just now in iv position to bo absolutely andld In its treatment of the Jlepub tcan ., gubernatorial canvass, connplc tiously prints tho'followlng: "Warned by Congressman Connell's declaration, made several days ago, that Attorney General Elkln will get the support of some delegates from Philadelphia, tho Joeal leaders are tak ing the precaution to guard against any of the representatives in the Ito publlcan state convention voting for any candidate other than the one they favor. To lessen the chances of any Philadelphia delegates supporting the attorney general, all tho ward leaders, except those holding municipal places, have been ordered to go to the state convention and to select as their col leagues only those who c.m be depend ed on to vote as dliected. Every care will bfe talceii to hold tho eighty-six delegates fiom Philadelphia s-olldly against Mr. Elkin." And this is the kind of politics which Charles Emory Smith, the Philadelphia Press, what Is left of the Philadelphia insurgent outfit and a few ingrained malcontents like the Wilkes-Barro Record rely upon to effect John Elkin's defeat. Do tho Republican leaders par ticipating in this desperate throttling of party preference realize what they are doing? Does Senator Penrose un derstand tho peril wiU) which it is in vesttnghls candidacy for re-election? "Some years ago," says the Philadel phia 'inquirer, "the popular choice of the Republicans of Pennsylvania for tho gubernatorial nomination was Daniel H. Hastings. Senator Quay will recall the f.ict th.it he insisted upon taking the convention by the thioat and nominating Mr. Del.iinater. The pesult is history. Genet al Hastings and his friends did their best on the .W ' j 5 .40 .44 n ., 1.3.1- " .1". .273 .n ,, .:j .1(1 .175 .155 .17 .15 .1(V stump as Republicans to elect Delania ter, bill:, Uu people could not be con trolIed.r.iTli'eyihad made up their minds that there had not been fair play, and Robert E. Pattison was elected gover nor. "In this year of 1002 tho popular choice for the gubernatorial nomina tion is JoluVP. Elkln, and he Is very much more popular among the people than Hastings ever was. He made a magnificent campaign, and at the time when Senator Quay undertook to com mit what he himself termed 'murder' he had carried' by his own strength seventeen out of nineteen counties. Since then, since the senator became possessed of the, id,ea that all he had to do was to bowl Elkln out and the thing ws done, Elkin has been going right along capturing delegates, while Quay lias beert given something of a jolt in his own county of Beaver. El kin has practically won tho light today. The only,,wny ,lu which he can possibly be defeated before tho, eqnventlon is to throttle him, just us Hustings was throttled." As for tho Philadelphia delegation, we do not'withdraw what has been said as to the possibility that It may piove jjanurfeery pf surpluses.

The Boer War. (Prom the Philadelphia Press.) T HE HOKtt war Is over. The conference nt Vcrcenlglng may have reached tho decis ion reported or may delny It; but nothing ran delay peace. It Is near. It Is probably accepted. The llrltlsh government, while nil the facts are not known, has plainly been til last wise enough, as we were at the close of ,our Civil war, to offer terms and come deil nlte promise of self-government In the near futuie. This has ended a conflict which might have dragged for a year more, perhaps for two years longer. It brings an end which gives -some 'return for the Boer struggle In the last two years. The Uoer cause hits been, In a military sense, hopeless since Cronje surrendered and the',e.litnfs,of the allied republics were occupied. In a moral sense, the Rocis have gained much by their perti nacious irci'istunce. They have won n respect which would never have been theirs without this long fight. Their lights In the future are secure. Their self-government will come sooner and be more complete. These are great gains. Their losses arc as great. The entire farming plant of the two republic-' Is laid waste. The P-oer population has had a fatal blow. A local bltlcrness.has come In Cape Col ony time cannot remove. Rattles men forget. Scaffolds are never forgiven. English Immigration Is certain to be l.uge, rapid and overmastering. The Boers by prolonging the war have left space for it. South Africa is to bo English. This Is tho real Issue of the war. The tti angular end of the continent, physically one In Its natural boundaries, could not bo both Boer or English. Tho natural Increase made It Boer. Immigration made It English. Tho Boer lefitbed political rights to the Immigrant on one side and peis-onal rights lo the negro on the other. AVar came. The immi grant rules. The negro Is fteed fiom the worst black code of modem times. South Africa becomes homogeneous. The future gains Immeasurably. A teglon divided by artificial boundaries and certain to breed conditions thnt bilng war passes under one flag and one law. In time, thete will be 0110 tongue and one people. Instead of being connected with the continent of Eutone, as were the Boers, the new Aftlkander will lake his plaee among the English-speaking peoples, sharing their future' and hold ing for the wot Id's Englishry the one end or Africa, where white tiien can live. The cost Is high. England ha.! .s.iuti ilced M.OOO lives, $1,114,000,000 of tieas uro and her military prestige. The British eniplie has gained by the pi oof of colonial "solidarity. England has loM. The British emplie has, in the minds of men, taken lite place of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The center of gravity for one of the world's great empires has shifted. It was once England. It is today some whet o between England and her colo nics. What was an enipiie bids fair, as 11 lesult of the war, to become an im perial federation. These ate momentous changes. South Africa, wheie it was always possible that continental Intcrfcience in English attaiis might begin, us the kaiser's tele gram to Ktuger showed, becomes Eng lish, and English alone. Europe loses. Tho English emplie gains. England as England loses. British colonies moie and more control. Today tho Biltish empire has 40,000,000 white population In the United Kingdom and 13,000,000 in the colonies. In fifty years these two bodies will be equal. The Boer war has made this prospect visible, and, making it visible, profoundly altered English policy. One of the conditions upon which General AVood lellnquished au thority In Cuba, a condition ac cepted by Picsident Palma In writing, was that the existing pie. cautions against 11 lecurrenco of epi demic and Infectious diseases shall be maintained indefinitely. These are fully specliled in the agreement, in ad dition to" the otdlnary sanitation they Include thu paving and seuctlng of Havana, modern water works mid sewers for Santiago apd American plans of instant ciuuruntlne upon the appearand of an , Infectious or eou laglous disease, This exeicise of im lieilallsm on the iatt of tho stionger power has not yet been denounced In passionate oratory by the Democrats In the senate, but no doubt It .soon will be. The calamity prophet has already ap peared with tho announcement that hu predicted tho St. I'lerre disaster soma time ago, it Is unfortunate that the astiologera and other calamity sects can never locate tho promised dlsusteis until after they have occuned. Soiiiq of tho British radicals mo oh. jcctlng to the expenditure of vast sums of money on the gaudy ceiemonlala of tho coronation piogrammo while so much war waste Is waiting to be re paired In South Africa, They have the best end of tho argument, Tho Creek Indians are again neglect ing their spring planting In ouler to ludulgu In a bfuson of war paint and politics.
