IT is intimsted in lste dispatches that
the troubles in the Transvaal are owing
to the Vaccinations of group OF imam
ciers in London. II eucb is the case 1t
is be presumed that the tinsnclers
mentioned are those composing the
South Africa Chartered Company, the
head of which is Cecil Rhodes, late
premier of the Cape Town Colony.
Rhodes is credited with great ability
and has been accused of desire 10
bring about separation OF the British
South African possessions from the
empire and their erection into an In
dependent government, with himself at
the head. But the entertaining OF such
a scheme on the part of Rhodes is open
to doubt, for a man who is credited with
so much ability must know that in a
struggle with the British empire the
colonists would not have any chance Of
success. If the story that a group of
London capitalists have deliberately
conspired to bring about war for the
purpose of gain, is true, it would stamp
them as the most colossal criminals in
the history. 1t is horrible to contem-
plate the fact that lot of men, for the
mere purpose of adding to their millions
would deliberately ccnspire to bring
about a war, with all it's attendant
horrors.

If another argument were needed for
the suppression of trusts it is furnished
IN recent dispatches from Washington.
A congressman who ia strongly in favor
CT the recognition of the belligerent
rights OF the Cuban patriots, end who is
doing all in his power to bring about
such recognition by our government, as
serts that he has been asked by the
sugar and petroleum trusts to cease his
efforts. The trusts believe that the rec
ognitlon of the belligerent rights Of the
Cubans would result in a speedy ending
of the war. But if the war drags on for
months, and the insurgents are success
full in their present mode of warfare, the
sugar crop OF Cuba will not amount to
anything as a competitor in the United
States. Such state of affairs would
be worth millions of dollars to the sugar
trust, and therefore the managers of the
trust attempt to interfere in legislation
for the purpose of defeating the heroic
efforts of suffering and gallant people
for liberty. This crime is equal IN mag
nitude to that of the London capitalists
who are charged with bringing about
the trouble in South Africa, and shows
that the spirit of avarIce knows no coun-
try and no fsg, and that when body of
men become thoroughly imbued with
the lust OF wealth they will not stop at
the commission of any crime, no matter
how mean, or little, or stupendous, to
add to their hoard. For years the arro-
gance of com ined capital has been in
cressing IN an accelerating ratio, and
they have been SO successful in their
demands that they have evidently ar
rived at the conclusion that they can
manage the governments of the earth
simply to add TO their wealth, regardless
of all human rights. 1t is time the all
ambition OF these vast aggre-
cations of wealth should be curbed, else |
it will surely result in fierce war be-
tween the masses and the classes.
