A Problem In South AZ. lea.


Cape Colony. South Africa, has been very
seriously bothered for some considerable
time over the threatened danger. of negro
domination in that state, and the colonial
Parliament has just resorted to very rad.
ical measures in its efforts to cope with the
question and obviate. the danger. 1t is going
to abolish the ''llit6rate. voter' altogether,
and will also raise the 'electoralqualiiica-
tion from 925 to .e75 The measure making
this change has been read.a second time in
the oaDe Parliament. 1t is the work Of the
Premier, Mr.. Cecil Rhodes, who is known
as an advanced Liberal in all his views.
The English papers, including London
Truth, call this setting good example to
some. other countries" Truth further COM
ments that although Mr.. Rhodes is such
liberal man ''ne is too sensible man to al
low the votes of Cape niggers TO swamp
those of the white men," Mr.. Eabouchere's
radical paper also thinks that "there are
people who think it equally Objectionable
TO permit the votes of densely ignorant yo-
kels TO swamp those of educated electors"
