KRUGEiR'S. TRIUMPH.


Few men have had such triumphs
as Paul Kruger, the president of the
Transvaal republic. He has completely
triumphed in all his dealings with the
British government. He exposed the
infamy of the Jameson raid and laid
bare the motives of those who insti-
gated it. He won to his side the Ger
man emperor and enlisted the sympa-
thy of the whole world He imprison-
ed the leaders of the conspiracy to
overthrow his government, proved
their guilt beyond doubt, and had
them condemned to death. Then he
had the death sentence committed to
a fine and made half a million dollars
for his country. Last, but not least,
he has compelled Cecil Rhodes, the
governor of the South African COM
pany, man who has played in South
Africa much the part that Warren
Hastings played in India, to resign.
He has triumphed all along the line
and remains master of the situation.
The secret of his great success is his
strict adherence to truth and prin-
ciple- knowing he was in the right
he never once doubted of his ultimate
success. And this plain and unpreten-
tous Boer says that his sole reliance
and guide all through his great strug-
giles has been the Bible That book
has given strength to nations as to
men. Great is Paul Kruger.
