LETTER FROM SIEVERT.

On last Wednesday William Sievert ot Halifax received a letter from his brother Julius Sieveret, whose death was reported from South Africa pre- viously. The letter will give an idea as to the stuff the Canadian soldier is made of. Although in hospital, and weak- ened by illness, Sievert desired to go front and assist his comrades in arms at the fighting line. ‘The letter is

As soon as Ladysmith shall have been relieved we will go to Kim- berley, and relieve the troops there. I shall be with the other boys by that time. When I was stationed at Green Point camp we were assigned guard duty in the day and picket duty at night. The Canadians are only get- ting one night a week in bed those days, snd I tell you when the corps returns from service in South Africa, or at least the remains of the corps, the volunteers will be able to tell of many trying experiences, Our pay ranges from eight to ten shillings per week.

THE SOURCE OF THE EVIL.

By universal consent the insult to the flag in Montreal is chargeable to the heated racial appeals of Mr. Tarte’s

paper. In a speech in Parliament de-| livered on June 26, 1597, Mr. ‘Tarte explains how the Government secured

<a

possession of this organ. “The lead-

begged me over and over again to ar- range to have a Liberal organ in Mon- treal.” “Tarranged that Mr. Green- shields, who was my lawyer in many other cases, should act as the purchas- er of La Patrie as the lawyer of the party. They speak of a check which Mr. Greenshields gave. There is no secret about it. Mr. Greenshields had a cheque in his hands, not of his own money, but of the money of the party, and he paid that cheque.” These are the circumstances under which the Government acquired an ergan to operate upon suca of our French-Canadian fellow citizens as would read it.* Since this organ has been under Government control its course has been consistently and per- sistently racial. Its raison d’etre nnder Mr. Tarte’s direction is to implant in the minds of its readers the doctrine} that English-speaking Canadians are their enemies, and that nothing but a solid racial combination—with Laurier and Tarte in office, of course—can avert the imaginary disasters which it frequently foretells.

H. M. STANLEY’S VIEWS.

The London corrresspondent of Le Journal of Paris telegtaphs an interview with Sir Henry Morton Stanley, in the course of which the explorer expresses himself as confident of the issue of the war in South Africa, calculating it would end about the beginning of | July. . ' “France is in the wrong,” he said, | “in regarding this war as unjust. She | does not know the true facts of the case. The Transvaal, as was seen long ago from her preparations, was deter- mined to fight, as President Kruger wished to imitate George Washington, tut he has not the necessary faculties for sustaining the role.”

Regarding the Anglo-French rela-

tions,and the rumors of possible war between the twe powers, Sir Henry said ;

“France for many reasons is an in- dispensable element in Europe. Her force acts as a counterpoise to other But public opinion would not follow a politican who premediiated a war against France, and unless Eng- land were attacked openly, a conflict would be well-nigh impossible.”

RICA.

With one voice they answer by cable “Yes.” In New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and Tasmania, there appears not to have been one Minister to argue that the Government lacked power to send troops abroad, to object that Par- liament should be first consulted, to say that the precedent should be barred, or to insist that Britain pay the bill. In short, there seems to be no Sir Wilfrid Laurier or Mr. Tarte in office in Australia.

Mr. Winston Churchill, describing the relief of Ladysmith, in a despatch published by the London Morning Post, says :—

“It has been effected at a cost of upwards of 5,000 officers and men _ in an army of 25,000 strong.”

He goes on to pay a high tribute to Sir Redvers Buller, emphasizing the confidence his men had in him, “with- out which the enterprise could hardly have succeeded.”

Of General Buller’s attack on 17, Mr. Churchill says :—

terpiece, soundly conceived, boldly launched, and skilfully executed.” He adds that ‘‘much also was due to the greatly improved intelligence depart- ment.”

f Acablegram received at the State Department in Washington, from Adel- bert Hay, United States Consul at Pretoria, indicates that he is having no troubie whatever in the full exercise of his functions, and especially is he unhampered by the Boer officials, with whom he seems tobe onan excellent footing, securing any information de-

4 sired as to the condition of the British

soldiers who are prisoners at Pretoria.

The more that is learned of the Boer retirement from Natal the more doe it seem to have been a flight. Rob ert’s work doubtless drew off the com- mandos, but Buller’s blows hastened the process,
