WHAT THE BOER IS.

Writing from Kimberley to the Daily Mail, Julian Ralph, the American author, expresses some pretty plain opinions on Boer honor and integrity. He says:

As I sit here the air of every British community and household throbs with the jubilation of the moment.

About five months or more of al- most continual check, defeat and slaughter, victories have piled them- selves upon us. Kimberley and Lady- smith are free, and Cronje, the chief guerilla opposed to us, is in our net. Bloemfontein has been occupied and the Free State Boers are retiring to the Transvaal.

We are saying that the war will soon be over. ‘The hope is parent to the assertion, but it is only hope, for we know nothing of the Boer. Those who have lived here longest with him in peace have deceived the us the most about what sort ofa man be would prove in war. All that we do know is that he is neither brave nor honorable. He is ebstinate, crafty, semi-savage, clever in gaining and in keeping am- bush, but he has never yet shown him- self brave.

We all hope that the people at home will not leap to the conclusion that the war is nearly over, or that the back of Boer resistance is broken.

It might easily prove a dire calamity were England to lie back tired from exertion.

AMERICAN BOER PRESS.

It is due to our American cousins to recognize that many papers and maga- zines n thc United States have pub- lished fuil and fair statements of the facts concerning the South African war.

The yellow journals that advocate the Boer cause are so extravagant and unscrupulous in their denunciation of Britain that it would bea waste of words to offer any serious reply to their gross misrepresentations. But beside these extreme sheets that are trying to make party capital outof the African war there area number of organs of public opinion which have al- lowed their sympathy with the fighting qualities which the Boers have dis- played in their struggle for racial as- cendancy to make them caricature or suppress important facts favorable ‘to

Britain, and glorify the Boers as being what they really are not. This anti- British attitude is not caused by the facts and merits of the conflict. The war has only furnished the occasion for displaying a jealous animosity that was ready to break out when any pre- text offered. These attacks on a friend- ly,kindred nation are unjustifiable, un provoked and mischievous. They can serve no good end.

A MOBILE ARMY.

Lord Roberts has not hampered his advance with more infantry than he He had two divisions, Tuck er’s and Pole-Carew’s, when he crossed the Zand recently, and the only in fantry call was the Highland Brigade at Winburg, and another bri- gade within supporting distance. He had at least three divisions on the line of communication, but prepared the Kroonstadc with two, rather than five, divisions, and in this way reduced the strain upon the trans- port system. He had four cavalry brigades anda large body of mounted infantry and heavy naval guns and Royal Garrison Artillery, in addition to a great force of horse artillery. The contrast between this recomstructed army and the army corps which went to Seuth Africa with Gen. Buller is striking. A large mounted force with guns of long range has been substitut-

WASHINGTON POLICY.

Respecting the statement telegraph- ed from Pretoria to the effect that the foreign representatives in that capital have jointly notified President Kruger that he would be held personally re- sponsible by their governments for the safety of the Johannesburg mines, it can be stated that the United States consul general, Adelbert Hay, did not in the representations, if any such join were made, Whilecitizens of the United States are believed to be peculiarly in- terested in the Johannesburg mines and the department of state is natural- ly disposed to do everything within the line of propriety to protect their in- terests, it will adhere to its uniform policy in snch matters of acting singly.

JOHANNFSBURG MINES.

The Cape Argus publishes a report from Johannesburg, said to have been suppressed in the cross examination of Acting Mining Engineer Munick, that in the recent mysterious Dempsey case Munnick testified that prepara- tions had been made to explode 25 mines and that on the authority of State Secretary Reitz he (Munnick) had already bored shafts in eight. “Well informed foreigners in Pretoria,” says the correspondent of the Cape Argus. “now consider the mines safe.

ASTHWHIA

CURED PERMANENTLY.

Why Do You Night, and

Saffer Night After Keep Dosing With Temporary Relie? Remedies ¢ Clarke’s Kola Compound Will Relieve Your Suffering. It Cures Permanently.

Mr. 8, Till’s case was a most obstinate one, but this marvellous remedy worked the wonder. Was cured with six bottles. Here is his letter in his own words. Mr S$. Till, 142 Dorchester street, St. John. N.B., writes:—‘' I have been a great suffer- er from asthma for nearly ten years. Many months, night after night, I have been so bad that sleep was impossible, and at times I thought I would choke. I used different asthma remedies and doctored with the best physicians in St. John, but my trouble became worse each year. About a year ago I purchased three bottles of Clarke’s Kola Compound: then I took three more, and since completing the treatmenr with this remedy have not had a single attack. I take great pleasure in recom- mending Dr. Clarke’s Kola Compound which I know has no equal for asthma. Since being cured I have frequently recom. mended this remedy to others in our city and they all speak very highly of it.” Clarke’s Kola Compound is the only permanent cure for asthma yet dis- eovered, Over a thousand complete cures are recorded in Canada alone.
