THE FIGHTING BOERS. Much of the sympathy \merica is due to the’ democratic title that country has assumed. The’ Transvaal, however, is not a republic, It has a Constitution, or Grondwet, but the Volksraad by a rosolution, or Besluit, can suspend or repealfany part of the Grondwetjthat may interfere with legislation at hand. And the Presiden ‘is the power above and behind th

He “het hoogste gesag des Jands’— greatest authority in the State. bidding the Volksraad can at any time ' determine that any matter pending be- ‘fore the High Court shall cease to be considered by the court. In 1897 the High Court refused to defraud an | American mining man of a number of claims which he had legally acquired, _whereupon Oom Paul summoned the | Volksraad; the Chief Justice, Mr. Kotze, was summarily dismissed, the | sittings of the court indefinitely sus- pended, and all the rights of the American ignored.

None of the rights of the Uitlanders are safeguarded. Homes are invaded and searched on the slightest pretext the accounts of business houses are ex- amined, and tribute levied arbitrarily. Before the development of the mines. the Transvaal was bankrupt. To de- | fray his travelling expenses to London 'and return a few years ago Kruger had to escort to a forced loan upon a foreign banking firm in Pretoria. The first arrival of Europeans was, accordingly, warmly welcomed by the _ political Boers, for this incoming of capital and energy saved the country from collapse. As soon as enough mining acre was disposed of to make the Government rich,Oom Paul and his henchmen set | about to discourage further immigration He knew that the mine owners had in- vested vast fortunes in preparing to develop their properties, and that they could not afford toabandon their pro- | jects. Government monopolies were accordingly started, competition was throttled, and excessive rates fixed on commodities indispensable to a mining camp, such as dynamite and whiskey. Upon all articles which the Govern- ment does not supply by monopoly it has established an exrobitant import duty. The avowed purpose has been to freeze out all but the heavy investors, and to tax these to the limit.

Hardly a cent of the prolific revenue gained by these high-handed proceed- ings has been expended upon Johannes- burg, whose. affairs are, in the main, administered from Pretoria.

The sanitary condition of Johannes’ hurg is a horror; its streets are foul and upaved, and, as very few of the

Boers live in the metropolis, the typhoid epidemics that frequently devastate Johannesburg are com-

In reality the Transvaal is no more of a republic than Turkey, Dahomey, or Baluchistan. Oom Paul could, with- out violating the spirit of the Grond- wet, change his title to Sultan, Khan, | Ameer, or Maharaja.

WAR IN S6UTH AFRICA.

Interesting Particulars of the Struggle Betwecn Great Britain and the Boers.

All measures for enact- times a millionaire, though one would

1not suspect it, judging him by his clothes or the frugal manner of his living. His home, on Main Street, Pretoria, is a single story building, half hidden by trees. The one evidence that it is the home of an unusual personage is the presence of armed sentries in white helments and blue uniforms, who march to and fro on the sidewalk. A little garden leads to a wide veranda, where a half dozen Boers in frock coats of archaic cut, and with huge slouch hats pulled over their eyes. sit in dignity, calmly smoking great pipes. ‘These are the President's aides-de-camp, who receives visitors and usher them into the executive presence. The president is not com- municative, but when he speaks he thunders his words rapidly, as if he were firing volleys. His habits are not pleasing. In this country he would find it exceedingly difficult to avoid the anti-expectoration laws. But one

who, a few years the African

barbaric diplomat, \ago, was an ox-runner on desert.

It is an interesting chapter in history

little inland state lying south of the Equator in distant Africa, has been able for years to block the ambitions of England. Behind that mask which lends itself so readily to cartoons—a head and face and unlike a gargoyle torn from a Dutch

spirit of mastery before which the world has stood amazed. He has planted himself like a granite boulder, blocking the path over whichthe Empire builder,

Cecil Rhedes, has sought to stride from the Cape of Storms to the Mediterranean. Oom Paul and Cecil

Rhodes—these are the two heroic fig- ures South Africa has produced. Both, of course, have their detractors. “When Cecil Rhodes comes to his end,” says Mark Twain, ‘‘I want to be there to get a piece of the roap.” Kip- ling, on the other hand, regards Rhodes one of the great figures of des- tiny, and characterizes Oom Paul as a “sloven savage.” Stead says that, in the Roman sence, Rhodes is supreme- ly religious, believing the British to be God’s chosen people, and himself, the Anointed of Heaven with a Divine commissson to paint as much of the map British red as possible, and to that end ‘“‘to exterminate blacks and Boers, Portuguese and pygmies and other Eresid ual refuse of the human | race, | But the present conflict in Africa }s far more significant than a contest be-

A petition signed ; tween the Colossus of Cape Town and |

That condition is, of course, involved, but the fundamental issue is whether the world is large enough to permit an ig- | norent band of indolent vagrant hunt- |ersto hoard vast and fruitful lands | which they will not develop. A law of | nations and of evolution is a test—the the survival of the fittest. There is no room in the earth the British say. for hermit states, and the nation that buries its talent shall lose it. Even China, they point out, after centuries of isola- tion, has at least perceived the hand- writing on its Wall and has ordered that historic barrier to be torn down. Shall Africa become a new empire tor the spread of modern civilization, or shall a few thousand half-savage plains- men be} permitted to arrest the march of humanity? That is the question Britain is attempting to answer with her guns, It is nota seizing of Naboths

At The Barber’s.

The red plush chairs were a)] full,and the two genilemen in the corner wait- ing to be shaved were beguiling the io- terval in a very earnest conversation.

‘Jt was the most elaborate menu the lodge has ever served,’ said the gentle- man who had taken his collar off.

‘I would bave liked to have been there,’ said his friend.

‘Well, I should say so. It was first- class right through. Variety tono end.

Sumptuous isn’t the word.

‘You know I had an _ invitation.’

‘What!’

‘I had an invitatiow but I couldn't use it.’

‘You dont mean to say you missed it on account of some other engagement?’

‘No, it wasn’t that, I simply could’t go, that was al].’

‘Why?’

I daren’t.’

‘Get out ;bow do you mean?”

‘Why, my digestive systera would have been upset for a week, ifI had.’

‘Did you ever use Dodd’s Dyspepsia Tablets?’

‘No.’

‘I wish you had told me about this before.’

‘Why?’

‘I could have seen that you went to that dinner al! right.’

‘How could you?’

‘My dear boy,do you know thata Dodd’s Dyspepsia Tablet would have prevented the slighest symptoms of distress.’

‘A Dodd’s Dyspepsia Tablet?’

‘Yes, taken afier dessert. Why al) the fellows were taking them, and I tell you that dinner needed something like that.’

‘What do you call them—Dodd’s Dys- pepsia Tablets?’

‘Yes, they acton the food in the stomach and ensure perfect digestion.

Fermentation is prevented, and heart- burn, headaches, biliousness and all unpleasant after effects ot a banquet are dispensed with.’

Next,’ said the barber, and the man without the collar rose tocojlapse into a red plusb chair. But he left his friend deep in the contemplation ofa new idea.
