PROTEST AGAINST PESSIMISM.
TO THE EDITOB. Sir,—Permit me to expreES the p I receive in reading Colonel Morriß'ts : tr - on the war. After reading the pessimal > comments so frequently made on the p-.. gress of events in South Africa, the galiiui colonel's remarks come as a cheering antidote ; and what adds to tin ir value is the fact that (so far as I can see) JlO7 are pretty correct. I wish the tone of his remarks was more generally adopted, both at Home and in the colonies.—l am, etc., Hopeful. February 15. [We do not, as a rule, publish letters of a congratulatory nature, but the above merely represents one of many. No one who knows anything whatever about Great Britain's history can be pessimistic because we have lost in killed less than a thousand men in four months. Our military contributor's cheery tone is based upon a knowledge of tbn facta and a knowledge of war.—Ed. E.S.]
