No depre sing after-effect. Sensibli CoMment. Tho following well timed and sensible re- marks on the situetion in South Africe, we take from that sprightly, newsy, well con- ducted journal, the Toronto Star. It lays down* the position very accuratelyl and it will do some Canadians good to reltd ' and ponder over what it it says : The English newspapers that reach this country are noticeablyi les panicky about the war than might be suppostd by reading the brief par- agraphs nom their columns that are cabled across the ocean. The system punned by the English correspondents is to sel&ecti the most piquant sentences, those containin the -neatest thrusts at the War Ofilee, an the sharpest criticism of the General in the field ; but, when the newspapers clarne to hand, they are found to contain ulch else that was not cabled. Long and weighty editoria,is are Itho rule in the London press, and, instead lof send- ing to this (ministry a. column or twlo of de- liberate argument, the corresp ndents thriftily select, a, few signifiaant lin_s that perhaps merely point the moral t ab the influential London editor sought to n force. It cannot be denied that the leading Eng- lish newspapers have indulged in very can- did criticism of the war; yet, if any - erson has gathered the idea :that those h ws- papers give signs of fear as to the 're nit, they are mistaken. Perhaps no o her nation in the world could afford o have, its newspapers speaking with perf 'et; candor about mismanagement at home and, poor generalship at the front, in the c urse of a war that drags gloomily along. The Lon- don press is the most self-respect ng in the world, and no other has ,a highe senee of responsibility, and we may fairly argue that nothing better illustratee the co fidence of the British public in its army than the very fact that the English press do not have to sugar-coat the war newe, nor to refrain from making whatever adverse criticism of the War Office, or of the generals in the field, that they may think fit. The British public is not easily stampeded. One thing thatwe should not forget is, that, although we consider the failure of General Buller to force the Boer army out of the fortified hills in which it has bur- rowed, as being very disappointing,yet this much has been gained: The Wide world know, and the Boers admit, by their attitude, that however difficult the British advance may be, a Boer advance is beyond human possibility in any direction. This is the great -change that has come over the situation. The Boers have nothing to hope for, nothing to fight for, b t th postpone the result. They can nossl ge4n nothing. In every direction they hale, fr a month, been straining every muscle o }tld ground. There is nothing else left to thj$n. Every day wear -their strength; eyeryl day fresh troops land at Cape Town an soon an army greater than Buller's s4iil be operating in the direction of Bloemf ntein. Ever day the people in London lo k for news o victory. Every day the people in Pretoria look for news that the Boers ihave succeeded in holding their own, the chest, hoarseness, quinsy, etc. Price 250.
