Children should always

increase in weight. Not to

row, not to increase in flesh, belongs to old age.

Present and future health demands that this increase in weight should be steady and never failing.

To delicate children, Scott’s Emulsion brings richer blood and firmer flesh. Better color comes to the cheeks and stronger muscles to the limbs. The cain in weight is substantial; it comes to stay.

+ Seanssiacnaane — THE TRANSVAAL QUESTION.

.

By Rev. Freperick A. MacMILLAN. (Continued trom yesterday . )

Naturally enough the Boers resented an endeavor to deprive them of their independence and loudly protested against annexation. Two deputations were sent to England to secure, by diplomatic measures their national free- dom. Finding that protests were un- heeded and that deputations were in- _ effectual, the Boers determined to resort to arms and fight for their liberty. A pass meeting was held in 1880 at which each Boer pledged himself with a sacred oath that he wonld shed his last drop of blood for his country. The campaign which followed was of short duration. On January 2g, 1881, at Laing’s Nek, the Boers repulsed the British and forced them to retreat. ‘The decisive battle was fought February | 26, at Majuba Hill, when the British irmy was almost totally annihilated. | Shortly afterwards an armistice was 'concluded. Terms of peace were

¢d on, at a convention held at

| Pretoria in August 1881, by which the | ‘Transvaal was recognized as, a quasi- | independent state with the right of vernment, but under the suzer-

ity of the British Crown. A second

| convention, held in 1884, reaffirmed he terms of the convention of 1881,

t| and declared again the independence

of the country, but made no refercnce suzerainty of Britain. This | omission has given rise to serious con~

| troversy. The British maintain that as

Specia | suzerainty was delared in 1881, there

| was no need of declaring it again in in 1884; the Boers maintain that as it was omitted in 1884, it has been abandoned entirely, and therefore the British have no right to assert it.

In 1885 gold was discovered in the Witwatersrandt (white water ridge) which is the name given toa high ridge in the southern part of the Transvaai. This ridge is 46 miles long and con- tains the richest gold mines in the world. It yields $100,000,000 worth of gold in a year, or more than a third of the world’s preduction. The dis- covery of these mines brought a tremendous influx of immigrants from from Britain,,who have been called by the Boers, Uitlanders or outlanders.

These immigrants came in such large numbers that in a_ short while the Boers were in the minority. At the

present time the Outlanders population IS 200,000, the Boer population 67,000, so that the proportion of the former to the latter is about three to one. The Boers, afraid of being overflooded by this tremendous tide of immigration, and of losing all their political ad- vantages, hedged in the franchise with multiplied restrictions, as a means of preserving their national identity. To the Outlanders, these restrictions were simply unbearable, and the vehement endeavor to throw them off is the im— mediate cause of the present trouble. In 1874, the franchise was granted to all white strangers who lived in the country one year. In 1882fthe rights vote could only be obtained after five years residence and the payment of $125 In 1887 there was a further re- striction imposed by the Volksraad, and the right to vote was made obtain- able after fifteen years residence and the payment of $125, The attempt to restrict the franchise and to interfere with political liberty called forth a vigorous resistance on the part of the Outlanders, a resistance that has several times bordered on open rebellion. But they have other grievances demanding redress. For the support of the govern- ment, the property of these Outlanders

which is now 63% of landed and 90% of personal property has been taxed en- ormously, These taxes are out of all proportion to the value of the property. And as they are without representatives

in the first Volksraad, which controls '

the finances of the Government, levies the taxes and expends the public money, they have nothing to say about the disbursement of a single cent. This is clearly a case of “taxation with. out representation,” a principle which in the last century caused the secession of the American colonies from the mother country.

In addition to this, the inherent con- servatism of the Boers has limited, in a large degre, the introduction ot modern improvements. ‘Transportation facili- ties, water supply, police force and sanitary regulations are very inefficient. The Dutch language is spoken in the schools, and the English children who, far outnumber the Dutch, are compell- ed to learn arithinetic, history, geography and other subjects from Dntch text-books. For the operation of the mines, dyamite is absolutely in- dispensable. Yet through concessions made by the Boer government, all the dynamite in the country is controlled by a monopely which charges an ex- orbitant price for this necessary article.

Another point at issue is the ques- tion of suzerainty which has been a bone of contention since 1884, when 1efererce to the matter in the conven- tion held that year was in some inex- plicable way omitted. According to the British construction, the Transvaal isa British possession, and therefore the Outlanders from Britain are under no obligation to renounce their alleg- iance to their sovereign before becom- ing citizens. According to the Boer construction, the Transvaal is an inde pendent state and therefore the British must renounce allegiance to their native country before they can be re- ceived as citizens and admitted to the privileges of the franchise.

The disagreement over all these troublesome questions has unfortunate ly led to the present war. How the war will eventuate ‘or what will be the ultimate result, itis impossible at this stage of the proceedings to foretell. While however the British troops may suffcr a few reverees at the outset, yet in the end they will in all probability be victorious ; and at no distant day we shall see the whole of the southern and central Africa a possession of the British Empire.

Here is Mr. Major's letter: ‘‘ After 20 years of suffering from backache and kidney disease I owe my life to Dr. A. W.

Two pills that night and two next morning gave great relief, and I continued their use until now lam completely cured. My friends are surprised and pleased to see me well again, for I spent hundreds of dollars in vain trying to get cured. Before using Dr. Chase’s Kid- ney-Liver Pills my back ached sol could not put on my shoes and couldn't lift go Ibs. My shoulders were sore, I had headachesanda bad taste in the mouth.
