City Hall to shoot pigeons because they made

1t must be fully recognized that the
Matabele murders OF unarmed whites,
merely because they are whites, put them
almost out of the pale OF mercy, and that
the absence among them of any leader
who can answer for their conduct makes
general arrangements for peace exceed
ingly difficult.
AT the same time we regret, il only on
grounds of policy, TO see the temper of the
white settlers hardening, to notice a GER
tain readiness to execute as well as to slay
in fighting, and to read exulting express
sions as to the mum ber killed. We do not
want dead bodies in Rhodesia, but quiet
subjects who will work for wages and ulti-
mately become taxpayers. Lenity is good
policy in Africa as well as ASIA. but it is
very seldom that it is displayed on the for
mer continent.

bonifaee. sAbout eighteen months ago
when she came on here she haggled with
me over the price of one of the cheapest
rooms in the house, and actually made
me give her a reduction because she staid
a week. The next time she came she had
on the finest sort of dress, such one as
nobody had seen her wear, and this time
my house was not good enough for her. so
went to- the highest priced place in
town and never asked the rate. Her lib
erai streak was late in developing, but if
her son does go into politics it will be a
fortunate thing for him that his mother
changed her system in the way of things
