American Admiration for Britain

— . * . ; '■ '■ ■■■ -M Whatever may be said about British operations or British policy in Sooth Africa by any disgruntled parties ia Britain itself, I can say with assurance that these operations and this policy particularly within the past few months, have conveyed to the American mind a new idea of the solidity oi British power. It is the reaoluteneii of the British spirit and British people that is most impressive to Americans. Whatever may be the fortunes of the field or th 6 duration of hostilities; whatever may be the Ipaa of life in active service, and however great the cost of the war, there has been no quailing. Whatever may be tho barking at tho Government's policy by any barker, the Government stands firm. Whatever may be the Army'i trials or hardships, the nerve, the mettle, or the fortitude of the Army never fails. Whatever may occur in Parliament, Parliament itself BteaijU lastly upholds the country's cause. Though the great Queen has paflned a,way, the battle proceeds as it bad ! proceeded during her lifetime. Though the journals may vary in their pol itics, the more potential members of the British Press rally round the staii dard. It is all very impressive, Ifc is possible (hat these things m>j appear more impressive and significant! to those who behold them at a great dis tance thau to those who hee them close at hand, ie in possible that they seem, as a whole, more striking in Chicargo, Wash j ington, or New Yoik than ia London o't Edinburgh. It ia possible that a specta tor in Britain ifeself might say, ." What else would you expect ? Do you suppose that British pluck would fail ? or, have ! you evor read British history V It is not I necessary, however to * address such questions to the present writer, who ia merely speaking of the way the American mind is impressed by the things ppokea of, by the visible strength of the British spirit, and by the present manifestation of the solidify of British powtr. How often have other countries succumbed before a task far less tiiffioalt than that which is now eet for Grab Britain in. South Africa ! How vast must be the re sources^-moral, financial, military, naval —which Great Britain can call out in the | performance of this trying task 1 lam sure ! tKat in no other foreign country are tha i broad facts of the case regarded witht bo | much intelligence as they are in. the United States. 1 We receive despatches from continental countries belittling British power, telling of British loss of prestige, and predicting ali kinds of bad luck for the British Empire ; but it is not by such despatches that; the muniments oi Britain can be weakened or the sap of her life be withdrawn, or the mind of any rational ■community, be deceived for any length of traae. To Americans, afe ail events, solid facts are more impressive than vain babble- Ib is for this reason that they are impressed by Blfams con* dnct; at home, and by heir substantial success in the far off territory of South Africa—New York correspondent of the Scotsman.
