A TORTUOUS COURSE.

u

Mr. Lavrrer has, as it has been well remarked, moved the six movths’ hoist to the Remedial bill to convey the impression in Ontario that he is against legislation and

e

to create the opinion in Quebec that w hat he

wants is not the advance to Manitoba for tnoderate relief now proposed, but the coercion, hot and heavy, for which the Rouges are calling. To maintain this double deeeit, he has to play a different roie,—one which it will be difficult to re- concile with his recent utterances. In 1893, for instance, he stood up in Parlia ment and said: “Something must be done, because this policy of delay, this ‘ policy of vacillation, is not only paralyz- ing, but fast disintegrating national life in this conntry—fast disintegrating u- tional life, Tsay, because it is arraying creed against creed, and race against race.” In 1896, three vears later, after the doubts which caused delay have been removed by the decision of the Privy stands up in Parliament and pleads for still further delay. He wants an additional investigation at a great cost to our tax he says

“DR. JAMESON’S RIDE,”

A tremendous wave of excitement swept over the British empire during the early part of January °96 in consequence of news of a thrilling nature from South Africa. Difference of opinion exists to-day, and will, likely, always exist as to where the responsibility of the complication should be placed. Dr. Jameson, acting as ad- ministrator of the great new protectorate commonly known as Rhodesia, had ap- parently taken upon himself the warlike responsibility, and with an army of 800 mounted men, crossed the border into the Transvaal, or South African Republic, and meeting the sturdy Dutch in battle, had, after heavy fighting and a loss of several men, surrendered unconditioaally to the Boers. There had been difficulty between the large number of foreigners, who had been attracted from all parts by the great gold find, and were called “Uit- landers,” and the Boer government, and

Cecil Rhodes had = ordered =r. Jameson to the border _—s merely to _—rrestore peace and protect

life and property. However, when Jame— son reached tne boundary, it appears that extremely urgent representations were sent to him from the leaders of the Uitlanders at Johannesburg assuring him that they were in the utmost danger for their lives, aod begging him in the name of humanity tocome to their help. Prompt action seemed called for, and at once he made arrangements to cross the line and strike

for the assistance of the helpless. He}

feared, however, that his movements might be countermanded by Cecil Rhodes, or Sir Hercules Robinson, the English Governor at the Cape Town, or by the British Colon- ial Office in Londons, and furthermore, to relieve the officials from any responsibility, Dr. Jameson cut the telegraph wires be- hind him and dashed boldly into the Transvaal, toward Joba nesburgh. No one can doubt, his motive was good, and his purpose honorable, but at the same time it was most unfortunate. However, England’s will ngness to strike for the downtrodden and defend the wronged led Jameson and his men to the very arms of death. The Uitlandera did not move a hand to help the brave few, although they had been importing arms and were largely in the majority, but allowed the gallant fellow and his followers to fall into the hauds of these bitter foes, who literally cut his tired and half-starved force almost to pieces, It was on this act of boldness aod bravery the famous poem was written by the new laureate—as recited on Thurs- day night in the Upper Methodist Church, at Englishman’s Night Entertainment. Jameson is now in Fngland, and the feeling of the country is evidently with bim, as the judge could not suppress the cheering in the court room at the preliminary arraign- ment for trial afew days ago. The fol- lowing is the poem:

ii

“Wrong! Is it wrong? Well, may be; But I’m going, boys, all the same. Do they think me a burgher’s baby, To be scared by a scolding name? They may argve, and prate, aid order; Go, tell them to save their breath; Then, over the Transvaal border, And gallop for life or death !

II.

“Let lawyers and etatesmen addle Their pates over points of law;

If sound be our sword, and saddle, And gun-gear, who cares one straw ?

When men of our own blood pray us To ride to their kinsfolk’s aid,

Not heaven itself shall stay us From the rescue they call a raid.

For daring a wrong like this! iv.

So we forded and ga!loped forward As hard as our beasts could pelt, First eastward, then trending nor’ward, Just over the rolling veldt; Till we came on the burghers lying In a hollow, with hills behind, And their bullets came hissing, flying, Like hail on an arctic wind ! ¥. Right sweet is the marksman’s rattle, And sweeter the cannon’s roar, But tis bitterly bad to batrle, Beleagured, and one to four. I can tell you, it wasn’t a trifle To swarm over Krugersdorp glen, As they plied us with round and rifle And plowed us, again—and again. VI. Then we made for the gold-reefed city, Retreating, but not in rout, They had called to us, “Quick! fur pity !” And he said ‘They will sally out, They will bear us and come. doubts it?” But how if they don’t, what then ? “Well, worry no more about it, But fight to the death, like men.” VII. Not a soul had supped or slumbered Since the Borderland stream was cleft; But we fought, ever more outnumbered, Till we had not a cartridge left, We're not very soft or tender, Or given to weep for woe, But it breaks one to have to render One’s sword to the strongest foe. VILL. I suppose we were wrong, were madmen, Still I think at the Jndgment Day, When God sifts the good from the bad men, There’l! be something more to ray. We were wrong, but we aren’t half sorry, And as ove of the baffled band, I would rather have had that foray Than the cruehings of all the Rand. ooo COMMUNICATION INTERRUPTED.

Monrreal. March 9.

Edward Griffin, who sold his farm near Truro a short time ago, arrived here on Friday en route for the west, and with $2,500 stitched in the lining of the inside of his coat, and went out to see the town. He became sleepy in an east end saloon, and using his coat for a pillow went to sleep. Griffin woke to find his coat and the price of his farm nonest. Detective Killoit took up the case and found that the garment had been sold to a second- hand dealer for 75 cents. Buying it back for $1, the Nova Scotian’s little fortune was found intact, and he went ou his way rejoicing.
