British South Africa.

(From the Collegium) N our last issue, we gave, for the consideration of our reade:s, a wief account of the Transvaal and its inhabitants, together with some facts ‘oncerning its complicated ind international affairs. In the pre-

internal

sent article we purpose briefly to dis- cuss the results that have followed British rule in South Africa.

It was not until near the beginning of the present century that Great Britain turned her attention to the southern part of the Dark Continent. The first territory acquired was Cape Colony. This region comprised that portion of Africa south of the Orange River, covering about 230,000 square miles. The surface of the country is much broken by numerous mountain einges. The soil in general is dry, and not well adapted to agriculture. However, in some localities, where the and can be conveniently irrigated, the soil is rendered fit for farming and

grazing purposes. The inhabitants were the descendants of the Dutch who came to the Cape in 1652. Dur-

ing the time that elapsed previous to the advent of the British into South Africa, the Dutch had made little or no advance towards modern civiliza- tion. They seemed determined to re- tain their ancient manners and customs, and looked with contempt on any in-

to the wonderfu) effects of your Paine’s Celery Compound. I was iuduced to try your compound through its wouderful et- fects upon a Mr. Parks. I had previously used a vast quantity of patent and doctors’ medicines, only to find myself growing weaker. After using Paine’s Celery Com- pound to the number of five bottles I gained forty three and a half pounds, and I am able to work hard ali day as a mason with comfort to myself. I feel Jike a new man, which condition I owe to the bless- ing of God and your Paine’s Celery Com- pound.”

novations on the part of the British to ; supplanting the antiquated Dutch cus- {toms. ‘They paid very little attention to the development of the resources of the country. Deposits of copper, silver and coal were known to exist, but they made no effort to turn these treasures to practical value ; and per- haps only for the coming of the British this wealth might be as yet undeveloped.

But affairs assumed a more promis- ing appearance when the British ele- | ment began to operate. The country was more extensively explored, roads opened up, commerce established, mines developed, and many other im- provements were effected which the Dutch never dreamed of. But all was not peace with the English. The Dutch Boers proved very troublesome neighbors, and gave the British much annoyance. The English colonists were involved in several expensive and complicated wars, from which they emerged, generally victorious. The colony continued to increase in size and strength on account of the addi- tion of several outlying provinces.

In 1867 diamonds were discovered in Griqua Land, a province north of Cape Colony. This caused a great in- flux of treasure-seekers, and the here- ,tofore unimportant province became the scene of extensive mining opera- tions. In 1871 it was annexed to Great Britain. Thus were British pos- sessions again augmented. Conse- quently, up to 1884, that portion of South Africa under British rule in- cluded Cape Colony, Griqua Land, and another strip of territory between the Orange Free State and the Eastern coast, extending north to the southern boundry of Zululand.

About this time we see a most im- portant character inthe political circles at the Cape in the person of Mr. Cecil Rhodes. This distinguished individual ‘tame to Cape Colony when quite ‘oung, for the purpose of recruiting iis health. Having regained his health 1e returned to college, finished his

soon acquired an immense fortune. His whole attention was not, as some would allege, devoted to obtaining wealth. He took an‘active interest in the government of the country, and in a short time was chosen prime minister of Cape Colony. He seemed to possess great personal magnetism, and won the respect and admiration of almost all the natives. He succeeded wonderfully in eradicating the ill-feeling that existed between the Dutch and the English. He managed afiairs to the satisfaction of the whole commu- nity, and to the advantage of Great Britain. But he gazed with alarm at the growth of German influence in South Africa. He saw that Germany’s attitude towards British anything but friendly.

In the same year —1884— Great Britain gave the Transvaal a system of self-government, but retained a suzer- ainty over native affairs. This treaty was hardly completed when the Boers, with the consent of Kruger, their Presi- dent, made a bold attempt to occupy Bechuanaland. They quickly formed a filibustering expedition, entered this region, shot down the natives, mur- dered a British officer, and proclaimed the most sanguine threats against any suzerain power that dare thwart their designs. Kruger immediately declared this territory under the protectorate of the Transvaal. An expedition, under the direction of Sir Charles Warren, forced the Boers to abandon Bechuana- land; but it cost Britain a million pounds sterling. North of the British possessions Rhodes saw a grand op- portunity for extending British power, and at the time weakening German influence. But two difficulties immediately presented themselves :— The Dutch at the Cape were content to live in their patriarchal ways and cared nothing for the Zambesi or any other territory ; the other difficulty was that any proposals to the Home Gov- ernment for assistance were sure to re- ceive no consideration. Consequently Mr Rhodes set to work to devise some means of surmounting those obstacles. The ultimate issue of his deliberations was the formation of the Chartered Company of South Africa.

same

It had cost Rhodes twenty years’ labor to amalgamate the diamond mines. He had likewise succeeded in creating the De Beers Amalgamated Company, Limited. The aggregate sums distributed annually in dividends amounted to about one million sterling. Rhodes adopted the doctrine of ransom, that was now being advocated in other countries—that the poorer members of

the community should participate in a portion of the wealth of rich men, which had been accumulated in their midst. ‘To the shareholders of the De Beers Company he pointed out the wisdom of following such a course. His efforts were successful. The shareholders recognized the duty they owed to the country wherein they had earned their money. With this basis Rhodes proceeded to form the Char- tered Company. His appeal to the public for subscriptions of one pound shares was readily responded to, and soon he had raised a capital of one This be expended in opening up Mashona- land, a tract of country lying north of the Transvaal, and reported to possess

Thus we see that an area of over a million square miles of territory was brought under the influence of Great Britain, and that, from a tract of barren waste, it was converted into a region of industrial activity. Most of this is due to the able statesmanship of Mr. Cecil Rhodes. Bnt all great men have their enemies as well as their admirers. In-

All exten- sion of the territories of the Transvaal was shut off north, and all opportunity for extension of German territory southward was equally forestalled.
