How easily it has beenisolated by the Boers and cut of from help is now eloarly seen. Its capture would have added vastl more to Dutch res ° than _Natal and even of Pietermaritzbarg itself, and could probably have been less loss of life than has been expen- ldod in the fruitless bombardment of Ladysmith. It is equally clear that the capture of Kimberly would have done more than almost any other easily won success to induce the Africsnderpopu- lation of Northern Cape Colony and Bechuanaland to rise and assist their brethren of the two republics. The Dutch population ` of Natal is ,but small, while the people lof Dutch descent in Cape Colony are more numerous than those _of the same race in the Transvaal and ,Orange State taken together. It was therefore in this quarter that a bril- liant success would have promised most in securing active sympathy and help as well as the prestige and the treasure which would have come with the seizure of Kimberly. _ An attack in strong force and with ,heavy artillery made weeks ago would almost certainly have given the Boers possession of the Diamond Town, but the opportunity was let slip by. Meanwhile General White has been able to hold.th_em at bay in Northern Natal long enough lor Bu‘ler’s army corps to arrive. check tnrther ad- vances in that quarter and in all pro- bability to secure the safetv of Kim- xberly. There have been some 'unis- ,takes on the British side but we may 'congratulate ourselves that the enemy has by no means made the most of the great advantages which he possessed at the beginning ol the campaign. il-ni-K .

Accordingly, after making a brief speech in Dutch. he took his big slouch hat and went home, leaving the other guests to discuss the remainder of the dinner alone. The Examiner of 'l uesday last se- lected a passage from our report of Sir Louis Davies’ speech at Pownal, - and charged that in using the langu- age reported the minister of Marine had made “adastardly threat.” The language attributed to Sir Louis would not bear any such interprets tion as the Examiner put upon it.The Patriot is' equally astray when it s 'ez “Tin Guuzmax re rter alto | “.7 _ _ _ P° _ ' gather misinterpreted what Sir Louis Why not establish this sy-tem between and thus ovarcone the Anglo-American monopoly P h ' w sand at the Pownal ~ e meeting.” We _ service made continuous and at reas- onable rates is what we are entitled to and must have. --ti-_- Rtcv.
