TO JUDGE THEMSELVES.
The parliamentary South African
commission, which has been inquir
ing into the Transvaal raid, has made
its report. Contrary to general ex
pectations, it lays the blame where it
belongs, on Cecil Rhodes, among
other things saying that he seriously
embarrassed both the imperial and
colonial governments; that the pro
ceedings resulted m an astonishing
breach of international comity; that
.lie utilized hi. position and the great
interests he controlled to assist and
support revolution, and deceived the
high commissioner. The report
goes on to say that while Rhodes j
"may possibly have been influenced
to a certain extent by a vague and
hazy idea of a vast African federa
tion under the Biitish flag, in which
he would play the leading part; but
he was also influenced, and is influ
enced, by financial considerations."
The 'report is certainly unique and
unexpected. In the light of that
arraignment of an Englishman by
Englishmen, it is high time to dig up
an arbitration treaty and meet the
brethren half way. That is the fair
est, squarest, and most truthful re
port ever signed by Englishmen, or
anybody else, and gives license to
the hope that our brethren across the
Atlantic are becoming civilized
enough to judge themselves.
The argument that Hawaii is too
far from our shores to warrant an
nexation shows a lack of familiarity
with geographical fact, says the
Globe-Democrat. Our Aleutian Isl
ands in Alaska are 28 degrees of lon
gitude further west. One of them,
Attn by name, is only 400 miles
from the coast of Japan, and it has
a good harbor, an important naval
item. In Unalaska, which is 1000
miles nearer than Hawaii to Japan,
we own an excellent harbor. Over
half the Aleutians are geographically
in Asia. TbejT have a population of
2000, and the natives are less intelli
gent than those of Hawaii. Holding
the ports of Alaska and Hawaii, our
navy would be in a position to de
fend our rights in the Pacific, and to
restrain acts of aggression in that
quarter. It would be an assurance
of peaceful development, for the
world understands that this country
is not greedy for new territory.
Hawaii is a commanding point in re
lation to our coasts and to the com
merce of the Pacific, in which we
are deeply interested, and its offer
for annexation is a legitimate result
ot the situation.
The following from an eastern
journal is o( interest in emphasizing
the statement that the depletion of
cattle upon our northwestern ranges
the present season will be found to
have been a costly error. In 1892
there were in the United States 37,
651,000 cattle, not including milch
cows. Last year there were but 32,
085,000, a decrease of 5,600,000, al
though the population of the coun
try in those five years bad increased
not less than 6,000,000. The swine
of the country declined in the same
time from 52,398,000 to 42,824,000,
and the sheep from 44,938,000 to
38,298,000.
It is estimated that the water of
the oceans contains in solution 2,
000,000 tons of silver. The question
naturally arises as to the proportion
of gold. Has Nature desseminated
the two metals in the water at the
ratio of 16 to 1. There are whole
lots of. people who won't sleep, of
nights if they get to thinking on this
proposition.
And so Mr. Bradbury is not going
to forgive his wife, after all. It's
really too bod, and yet we will risk
a big silver dollar on the hazard and
die of a wager, against a last year's
bird's nest, that, could the truth be
known, Mrs. Bradbury had more to
forgive than her spouse. Mr. Brad
bury says he is tired of the whole
thing, and certainly the public are.
The family wash day has no inter
est for the public.
Seattle reports a strong demand
for laborers, saying the rush to
Alaska keeps the city depleted. The
report would be more easily believed
if it did not contain a statement that
a lot of longshoremen who were load
ing railroad iron on a steamer, and
doing the work for 15 cents an hour,
had struck for higher wages, and
that their places were easily filled.
