THE TRANSVAAL CRISIS
Ir is greatly to the credit of Lord
Selisbury that he has, throughout an exceedingly stormy period, been able to -void war withthe United States, Ger~ maoy, Russia and other great pont by whi a the peace of the British Empire was successively threatened. His diplo- macy, atonce straightforward and astute,
bee = far preserved the conditions which mik- for the British
D&aliou.
the prosperity of
But, if the telegraphic reports be true, he bas failed in the negotiations with the Boer and war isimminent. Many per« sons would like to know the reason why. The Queeu in the course of her speech at the close of the late session of Parliament said :
“T have received a petition from a cons “siderable number of mv sul jects residing “fin the South African Repuoplic praying “for my assistance to obtain the removal “of grievances and disabilities of which
‘they complain. The position of my sub-
‘jects in the South African Republic i ig in-
“consistent with the promises of equal “treatment on which my grant of internal “independence to that Republic was “founded and the unrest caused thereby is ‘‘a constant source of danger to the peace “and prosperity of my dominions ‘n “South Africa. Negot:ations on this “subject with the Government of the “South African Republic bave been enter~ “ed into and are et)ll proceeding.”
This paragraph contains the pith of the | whole matter. Bound by treaty to extend equality of treatment to British su bjects re- sident in the Transvaal, the Government of which Mr Kruger isthe head, has while taxing them heavily, treated British sub- jects as men without political rights of any kind, Jt ia another case of taxation— heavy, direct taxation—@ithout representa ation. The Boers have met the demand of the British Government by the passage of a law ostensibly granting a measure of relief to Britigh subjects ic their couatry. But that law is held by the British in the Transvaal,—the Uitlanders—to be illusory “inasmuch a3 it gives no appreci~ able representation for years to come, and is so qualified br restrictions and conditions of an arbitrary character as to meke its ultimate effect exceedingly doubtful.” Weare further told that ‘‘it hampers enfranchisemest,even after geven years residence with couditions of easy manipulatior by the Boer Executive.” In short, the law is the handicraft of Kruger, and is regarded as unsatisfactory. Under theee conditions, the British Government has suggested an inquiry which has, it ap- pears, been refuse. ond met by a counter- proposition which amounts to a relinquish- ment of the suzerainty held by Great Bri- taia. The result is that Boers and British are, alike, preparing for war.
Apart from the dishonesty and faithless- ness exhibited by the Transvaal Govern~ ment, their extreme reluctance to political privileges to British subjeets is not wonderful; for the British outnum- ber the Boers, and given the franchise, would scon control the Government. The soers regard the British asenemies. They are ignorant and know nothing about the principles of freedom and equality upon which’ Government by the British is car- ried on. They believe that if they give. way the British will treat them as they have treated the British. They suppose

DREDGE WANTED T NEW LONDON,
—-
A correspon lent at
forth the importance and necessity of bav- ing the use of the steam dredge Prince Ed- ward atFrench River. Hefsays that ** the
people of this place, of both political par-
ties have petitioned time and again for use of her services at New London,” and that Sir Louis Davies was induced to pro mise that she should be sent there. Our
correspondent remarks :
**The work we want done here (dredging
the mouth of French River) wil) not take very long and is of vital importance to a large section of country,—saviog farmers
a long haul toship their produce, besides affording good shelter and safe anchorage for boats and echooners.”
In these circumstances, we presume that the dredge will, when she is on the north side, go to New London as well as to Mal: peque. If this were the intention of the authorities the case against, them in thi> regard is not so bad as it seemed to be ; and itis only apity that they are sending her at this late season.
NOTES AND COMMENTS
—It is significant, after all the bluster and talk of the Joe Martin wing of the British Columbia Liberals, that Hon. Alexander Henderson, the new Attor ey~ General, bas been elected by acclamation in New Westminster.
—The discreet Guardian must of course condemn the Liberal party’s sffinity for such men as Scrimgeour. But it ought 1o go further and denounce the relatiouship of Tarte, Pacaud, et al. They are all uopriocipled “birds of s feather”—though they are not all in the iiquor business and have notall governiwent bonded ware- houses at command, The better way is to vote them all down.
—Discussing the work of the late ses- sion the Canadian Grocer says, “If the business tranaacted during the session of the Dominion Parliament just closed, was in proportion to the length of the session,the country would scarcely suffer if the House did not meet again for two or three years, Bat, unfortunately, there was vo such pro- portion. The House wa; in ¢ession five months, and the solid business transacted during that time could easily be crowded into five weeks,”
—Mr Louis Marks, the Klondike cor~ respondent of the Financial News of Lon-~ dov, England, writes to say that “the financial system,” in the Yukon is a wicked ove. Av illustrates this by tae way in which whieky permits and other matters have been handled. Whisky permits were rome time ago, issued, said to be worth something like $300,000 to the Govern- ment in revenue mouey, that was to be spent in building roads; but the Govern- ment, instead of carrying this out, cancell- ed these permits and gave perni\.'s to party friends. In this way ail the revenue was lost aud Mr Marks says as a resu!t Daw soa willhave a big whiskey trust this winter, that will have liquorupto ¢$la glase.

MUSICAL.
——
Sir, — Would it not be a good suggestion to ask the 820d Batt. Band to repeat their fine concert on the square some after- noon,—eay between four and five. There are many that caanot attend the evening concerts, owing ‘o the late hours; aleo the evening’s are getiing too cool. I hope this will have the desired effect as mauy, I know, would be delighted to hear them. The band deserve the greatest encourage- ment that the citizens can give them for they certaintly have shown more study in their rendition of the numbers on the pro- gram than anything we have had. It is to be hoped that if they keep up their studies some of the powers that be will show their appreciation in a more sub- stantial form than they are doing at pres» ent.
