And II his personal honesty Is indis-

courage; for courage. indeed. is Of the
essence Of the man: he has shown all

gestion. A night or two later the pain
increased so that he could not sleep.

RELIGIOUS BELIEFS.

I can say nothing as to Kruger's
piety. He belongs to the strictest sect
Of Calvinists. proud even of being a
"Dopper." 1t Is worth while to epxplain
this word. because 1t shows the en-
tremely close relationship that exists
between the Beers and the English.
"Dopper" comes from "dop," which is
the German "Topf," bowl. and is sup
posed to apply to this sect Of religion
lists. because their wore their hair as II
the barber had put a bowl upon their
heads and cut around 1t. According to
this derivation, which seems the most
probable, "Roundhead." would be an al
most perfect translation Of "Dopper."
Paul Kruger is not only sectary, but
also a preacher of considerable emin.
ence. Almost opposite his house there
stands "Dopper" church, and there
President Kruger often holds forth to
the intense edifcation Of the faithful.
In truth. there is good deal of the ora
tor in Dom Paul, and not a little OF the
actor as we'll. AS Cromwell is said to
have been All eoileptic. SO this Boer
Cromwell Is something Of a neuropath.
Had he been educated, he would have
shown a subtle and wide intelligence.
Even now. according to Chief Justice
Kotze. he will discuss such questions
as Immortality and the beneficence of
the Deity with singularly fair ap-
probation Of the arguments which make
against his own belief which he never
theless recurs to. as If yielding to an
overpowering Instinct developed
through generations of pious forebaars
His honesty and truthfulness suffer
somewhat the same qualifications as did
these qualities in his great prototype.
If we must rank his ability lower than
that Of Cromwell, his inferiority may
well be due to the smallness Of the field
allotted to him by circumstances: and
In the qualities wherein Cromwell was
pre-eminent--in magnanimity. in con-
stancy, and in courage-history, maybe.

tie lower than that held by the great

A MAN OF COURAGE.

kruger's moral courage Is SO marked
that 1t might be mistaken for obstinacy.
Year by year as the Uitlanders have in
creased In umber, and as johannesburg
has grown in wealth and influence,
Kruger has diminished the privileges Of
the foreign emigrants. Before 1885 it was
possible for anyone to become fully na-
turalized burgher of the Transvaal af-
ter a residence Of two years and dec
laration Of allegiance. Today one may
pass ones life In the Transvaal with the
satisfaction Of knowing that ones child
rem born and bred in the state will be
regarded as foreigners.
And Kruger Is quite willing to take
the responsibility for this retrograde
action. AS a rule. 1t is true, he tells you
that the volksraad is responsible for
these measures; but pushed into COR
ner he will not deny his initiative. At
the back of his mind there is the JUS
tl!ication, aptly phrasad by his chief
Hollander Adviser: 'As the flood rises,
we build the dikes higher
On the other hand, this moral courage
makes noble deeds possible to him.
When Jameson and his forces were pris-
oners in Pretoria. certain Beers de-
manded the immediate trial and punish
ment at least of the leader and the Off
GERS. But Kruger stood out against ar
gument and anger with resolute imper-
durability. One would have said, in
deed, that he took certain pleasure
tn ha ,f to- D,,t
fairness Of mind or worldly wisdom and
a deep knowledge of the character of
his people were shown in the way he
went about among the malcontents. set
ting forth his reasons for exercising
mercy, and gradually pursuading
everyone that Dom Paul felt as he felt
though as head of the state he was COM
PEELED to adopt higher course Of con-
duct-a course justifiable by Holy Writ
and not inconsistent with policy. Again
and again In the last three or four
months Kruger has stood against public
opinion, and at length swayed 1t to his
service.
Yet even his high moral courage suf-
fers human lapses; his enemies say that
his word is quite untrustworthy. 1t
would be nearer the truth to state that
he is impressionable, easily moved by
those whom he trusts, and that when
moved he makes promises which his
pra actical sense prevents him from full
filling. His adversaries give curious
instances Of the peculiar way in which
he twists scriptural texts for self -justi-
fication. But all this testifies to the
necessity Kruger feels Of explaining
and justifying his backslidings; in fact.
1t almost amounts to a proof that the
man Is In the main truth-loving.
