Military experts In London haTe de lt
ezhauetlvcly vrlth the British campaign
In South Africa They have Bought ex-
planation and measurably excuse or
tho disasters that have befallen tho sev-
eral relieving columns that havo marched
respectively towards Klmberley Mafe
klnK and Ladyamltb in the facta that
their generals were not so familiar as
their adversaries with the topography of
tho country that iruldu proved treach-
erous that the Brltleh soldier fought
In tho open while tho Boer flred stoidlly
from cover that they were led Into
traps cunningly concealed and that
while their troops were rigid and mnchlno
Ilka In deploy and evolution those of
the Boers wero unhampered fcy machlno
tactics and possessed of a mobility that
makes them almost omnipresent on the
baUJofleJd
But with there eccperts the consensus
erf opinion ts that Boor victories have
been mainly duo to the success with
which their generals have been able to
decoy their antagonists Into military
deadfalls The QlobeDemocrat discuss-
ing the Splonkop trap at Lodyamlth by
which Oenoral Bullets army was driven
In retreat back towards Tugela river
arops Into suggestively analogous strain
and thus sayt of a remarkable strategic
movement with which thin country Is
familiar
Trobably the most remarkable strategic trap
ot thn American civil war was that of BraRU
leading up to tbo battle of Chickamauga n
was thought out elaborately and deliberately
though the tercet wns well kept nragg was In
Chattanooga with 35000 men but In no ahapt
to give battle to llosocrans on the north sldo
of tbo Tennetsee with an army nearly twlc
as large Many Confederates were deserting
Their talk was of a despairing outlook and
of retreat far Into Georgia Itosecrana was n
eangulno man His army was confident after
iUi many battles and campaigns lie crossed
the Tennessee In high spirits and divided lila
army for fifty miles In the mountains run-
ning southwest of Chattanooga Brass left
the town and a part of the Union forcea moved
In no cran dispatches spoko onh of pur-
suit But nragg did not go far The plana
he had been arranging for months wero eet
In motion Reinforcements streamed to him
hv rati from every quarter of thp Souh I ng
slreet came quickly from Virginia with two
Sv ion8 nr ff turned UDOn Kosecrans with
OftOO veterans and Chickamauga was the re-
sult a battle whero the two armies test 50000
men it was a stupendous trap and nearly
succeeded Bragg had foreseen exactly what
bis antagonist would do destroyed his repu
jatlon as a commander and almost ruined his
firrny
But British defeats in South Africa
have been as much duo to the failure
ot British officers to reallte thnt their
enemy Is thoroughly modern thoroughly
equipped a thorough eoldler not or the
receipt made Vtnd but ot the kind ham
merM out on the cold anvil of danger
and experienced and thoroughly officered
as to tha flevlwillon of cunning traps
into which the British have awkwnrdly

W S TAYLOR ANARCHIST
From the New York Journal
Governor Taylor of Kentucky has brought civil war on the heels of asMasl 2
nation Upon the patriotism and self control of Kentucky democrats rest their J
States hope of escaping ansrehy j
A man of any personal sensitive nets would have been so anxious to avoid
the faintest Imputation of a desire to profit by a cowardly crime that ho
would rather have lost some of his r lghts than to have taken advantage of the o
attempted assassination of his opponent to secure them But Mr Taylor is
troubled with no such qualms He hastens to grasp the fruits of murder
with an avidity that could not have been exceeded if ho had planned tha J
deed himself
Taylors purpose In adjourning the legislature to a remoto country village
In a lawless region filled with his ow n partisans where there Is no police pro
lection where murderous feuds are e nderale and where tho Winchester Is tho
customary substitute for Judge an d Jury needs no diagram He thinks that 5
the democratic legislators will riot rl sk their lives in the den from which tho o
assassins of Ooebel swarmed down to Frankfort and so that tho members of
legislature which he 5
the republican minority will be able to organise a bogus
can recognize And even If the demo crats should trust themselves In tho home J
of his band of assassins ho still has t be hope that Goebel may die before the
date he has set for the legislative s esslon o
It should be borne In mind that W S Taylor Is the first man In this contest
who has stopped outside the orderl y processes of law or rather his bravo o
who shot Goebel was the first and T aylor is the second Thcro has been many s
accusations of sharp practice but up to the time Taylors partisans fired at
Goebel every step had been legal
In tho election last fall Taylor ree elved a plurality of 23S3 on the face of the
returns out of a total vote of 403097 He received 48 per cent of the total
vote to Goebels 4747 per cent If h o got an honest plurality of one vote he
was entitled to the office but tbe fig ures do not show such a popular uprising
on his behalf as to make It selfevl dent that any contest over the returns
would be an attempt to overthrow th e will of tho people We have often had
disputes Involving more votes than Ta ylors plurality hero in New York and
we havo settled them peaceably Q uay casts from twenty to forty times as
many fraudulent votes as tbat In Pb lladelpbla at every election
Tho democrats protested their cl aim from one tribunal to another In a
legal way When they lost In one t hey did no shooting they simply took
their case to the next At last the re was only constitutional appeal left
to the legislature They prepared to take that Meanwhile they had allowed
Taylor to receive a certificate of eleo tlon from a democratic canvassing board
on His prima facie title and they ha d permitted htm to be peacefully Inaugu-
