OFFERBD ARBITRATION.
It has been said in behalf of the
Boers that during the negotiations
which proceeded the war they _offered
to arbitrate upon the questions in dif-
ference. This is only true in a sense,
as the offer of arbitration was coupled
with conditions impossible of accept-
ance. For instance, Britain could
.not consent to arbitrate such matters
as were stipulated in the convention
of 1884. By that convention the
Transvaal was bound not to enter
into treaty relations with other states
except with Britain’s ar~proval§ The
convention thus recognised Britain’s
paramountcy in l‘ransvaal affairs so
far as the outward relations of the
Republic were concerned. Yet this
was one of the matters which the Boer
government insisted should be in-
cluded in the proposed arbitration.
To submit to the decision of. other
nations aright clearly defined by a
valid agreement. would be like
aibitrating on a note of hand which
the debtor was well able but reluctant
to pay. The Boer Government ardent-
ly desired to get rid of the remains
of British snzerainty. Determined to
efect this purpose they expended
'millions in the purchase of guns and
munitions of war, and in sofortifying
military camp. The guns were load-
ed while the arbitration was being
proposed. _
Let us suppose that Britain had
consented tc an arbitration, Would
that have ~ prevented the war? Cer-
tainly not, unless the award had been
against Britain. If the award had
been such as to recognise Britain’s
right to revise Transvaal treaties,
upholding, this feature of. tie
agreement of 1884, the _Boer
armies would have invaded Natal and
Cape Colony just as they have already
have been more binding than the
agreement which the Boer Goverment
had violated in spirit and in letter.
We know now, for thev havethem
vaal Government, and that their pur
pose and intention was not alone to
get rid of remaining British control,
but to drive the British out of South
Africa and create a Dutch confeder
ation there in which the same treat-
ment would have been dealt out to
the English residents of Cape Colony
and Natal as British subjects in the
Transvaal have so long .~uEered. We
have theproof of all these statements
what should be done in Natal and
is was a conclusion suddenly or re-

their country as to make it one vast'
selves declared it, _thas the war wad i ‘ 
long since resolved upon by the Trans-~
cently decided upon 'l On the con-
trary there is every evidence that it:
was the settled purpose of years past,
for which, as we have said., millions
had been spent in preparation. No_
arbitration could have restrained the
carrying out of this purpose. An
entire people is not found armed to
the teeth with all the best weapons.
and appliances of modern warfare as
the result of a momentary im ulse
P* U
2 Nor was this preparation made
merely fer defence. Britain had no
desire or intention of entering upon
aggressive warfare in South Africa.
No other power could or would have
menaced the Transvaal. The pre-
paration was made for cmquest, for
the destruction by armed' force of
British control and the transfer of all
power in South Africa to the 'Boer
and Africander population. Now
that the work of conquest has been
entered upon and our brave soldiers
are giving up their lives .by hundreds
to save Natal and Cape Colony from
subjugation,itis diilicult to conceive of
a loyal and intelligent British subject
barking back to the exploded cry of
ofered arbitration.

filed a suit yesterday asking $5,000
damages from the Boston Dental Par-

Groesdele, _says be had suffered tor a

defendants asked to have them removed.
He declares two teeth were pulled. but
they were not the ones that caused him

Dr. A. W. Cha.se's Ointment is an absolute
cure for piles, and has never beenlrnown to fail
to cure the worst forms of this disease which hill
` ba.Eled medical skill for ages. '
This statement may sound rather strong _to
persons who do not know the superior merit!
of Dr. A. \V. Cbase’s Ointment, but it is per-
fectly true, ang heartily endorsed by the grate-
ful testimony of thousands of men and women
who have been cured by itafteryears of suffer-

consulting the besrdociora. _
