leaders in this parish are working up

they reconcile this practice with their

pitch of resentment that it is doubt fal if the authorities at London can restrain them from attempting re- prisals. The result may be a war be- tween the republic and the colonies in which the government at London cannot avoid taking q hand. But at any rate it will be.held to account by Germany, which seems determined to apply q Monroe doctrine of it's own making to the ease, by interven- ing in behalf of the Boers. It is a tangle from which the Salisbury ministry can scarcely extricate their country without loss of prestige, and perhaps bitter humiliation
 The parallel between the case of the Transvaal and that of Venezuela gives the former an interest to Amer jeans which it would not otherwise possess. But we should like the Boers, anyway, for they like us. Above all nations they admire the United States and hate England ,and they revere Washington as the greatest of patriots.

HISTORY OF THE B0ERs.
An Interesting Account of An In
 teresting People.


 About the middle of the seven
 teenth century a number of Holland
 CTS settled at the southermost point
 of Africa, known as the Cape of
 Good Hope. A hardy people, in-
 dnstrious and plueky, they soon
 made themselves comfortable and
 found little difficulty in repelling
 occasional attacks of the natives,
 says the Memphis Seimitar. So they
 and their decendants remained for
 nearly a hundred years, when the
 conquest of India by the British
 made Cape Town the half way point for great fleet of merchantmen engaged in trade between England and the East Then Britons began to settle at the Cape, and by he beginning of the present century they were so numerous and aggres- sive that the Dutch settlers found themselves uncomfortably crowded. Realizing their inability to con- tend with the intruders, the Dutch, now known as Boers, retired into the interior to the region at present called Beehuanaland, where Kim berly, the great diamond mining center, is located. But the British followed them and again they re- treated, crossing the Vaal river and settling down in the then unex- plored country which is now known as the Transyaal. Here they estab- llshed th3 'Zuid Afrikander Re publik" (South Africa Republic, ) now generally known as the Trans Vaal Republic. They lived i'll peace. except for an occasional brush with the natives, until the discovery of gold in the part of their country Where Johannesburg is now situ- ated British prospectors and ad- senturers of all kinds poured in, and not long afterwards, in 1877, the
 british Government practically i seized the country and made it q
 British colony
 The Boer5 soon saw that they
 were to be not only made subject,
 put dispossessed. as before, and in
 leSO they rose in rebellion. Several Expeditions were sent from Cape
 colony to snbdue them, but failed.
 The stout Dutchmen, all of them
 narksmen and full of the spirit of fold Van Tromp, defeated the red
 coats in several engagements, the

most important of which took place at Majnba Hill. There they picked off the British soldiers like black birds, making slaugter the like of which has not been seen since Jackson's 5 back woodsmen crushed the veterans of Pakenham at Gharmette.
 A compromise was then effected, by the terms of which the Boers admitted the suzerainty of Queen Victoria, giving her the sole au- thority to deal between them and foreign powers, but reserying to them the right of absolute self government and control of the FransvaaL
 Since that time the working of the mines has greatly increased the out put, until in 1892 it reached a total value of $27 100000. The British and other foreigners have increased to about 100000, or nealry onefourth of the total Population of the Republic. English syndicates own the mines, and the population of Johannes burg is about wholly composed of foreigners. This class, however, called "Uitianders, are allowed no voice in the government though they are taxed for it's support. The Boeis are exceedingly jealous of their priv ileges and permit no language but the Dutch 10 be taught in the public schools. This is cause of com plaint with the Uitlanders, and they are also demanding representation in the government.
 Their complaints have not fallen upon deaf ears The master spirits of the British commercial oligarehy in South Africa have long wanted d pretext to invade the Transvaal and subdue it as they have recently sub ned Bechanalapd and Matabeland adjoining, and this cry from their countrymen in the coveted territory was exactly to the purpose. So q few daSs ago Dr. Jamieson, manag- ing director of the British South Africa company and the conqueror of Matabeles, invaded the Republic with q band of TOO men, including a number Of impecunious sprigs of the old country nobility Our tele- graphic adviees tell us how he has been defeated and captured hy the Boers, under order of Pres. Kruger It is also reported that an uprising of the Uitlanders at Johannhsburg has been put down with strong hand.
 Although the invasion was not countenanced-wa in fact, forbid den by the home government, the defeat and capture of Jamieson will arouse the masterful Premier ofCape Colony, Cecil Rhodes. and all the Britons in South Africa to such d
