BY the year 1900 it is expected that
the Transvaal diggings will yield annu-
ally 500, 100000 in gold. The mines
have been and are being developed
wholly by the foreigners, "uitlanders, -
the Beers having had no part therein.
These foreigners now number 100, 900,
while the male population of the Trans
vaal is only 5000. The foreigners own
more than half the soil Of the republic
and pay nine teuths Of tho taxes and
yet have no share in the government,
not even vote. Naturally these find
the situation very trying. If the Beers
wish to preserve their republic, the only
way is to admit the uitlanders to citi-
zenship. This means the swallowing
up Of the Beers themselves as distino-
tive nation. But they must submit to
it or adopt the only alternative, which
is to voluntarily become dependency of
some one Of the strong powers Of Europe.
In that case England would undoubted-
ly fight for the protoctorate she already
claims over the Transvaal. In any case
it is losing game for the Beers. No
nation can live to itself any more, not
even Korea.

For a Baseball Team.

The committee that was recently
appointed to solicit the support OF
the citizens for a baseball team in
this city this season, have decided
that instead of making a canvass for
subscriptions they would give an
entertainment to raise funds to pay
the salary OF a hired pitcher. The
committee is now engaged in arrang-
ing for an amateur minstrel per-
Torrance in this city soon and hope
to secure enough funds in that way
to pay the salary of pitcher. 1t
has been decided to organize an
independent team, and not enter the
proposed northwestern league
should it be organized. The CON-
mittee is now corresponding with a
pitcher named Gibbs, of Minneapolis,
and If the plans for the entertain
ment are successful, it is probable
that he will he engaged, and Al.
Gadboys will be the catcher Ut the
team.

TOREPLACE BRIDGES.
A Special Meeting of the Board
of County Commissioners
on April rs.

A special meeting of the board OF
county commissioners has been
called to meet on Saturday, April Is,
for the purpose of taking steps to
replace the county bridges recently
destroyed by floods. There are
many bridges missing, and it is to be
hoped that some way may be pro-
vided to replace them with substan.
tial structures on firm foundations.
1t will be false economy to construct
cheap and flimsy bridges over the
many streams in the county.

Rhodes and Cham erlain.

The two coming men in British poll.
tics are Joseph Chamberlain and Cecil
]. Rhodes. Gladstone is of the stage OF
active work, Salisbury is being quietly
edged off By. Cham berlain, his secretary
for the colonies. DR.. Albert Shaw calls
attention in The Cosm opolitan Magazine
to the fact that both Rhodes and Cham
berlain are endcavoring to work out the
future destiny Of Great Britain. each in
his own way.
DR.. Shaw is sure that Rhodes expects
at some future time to be prime minis
ter, the "chief administrator Of Brit
ish empire thoroughly reorganized upon
plans which he himself will have sup
Piled" The Rhodes ideal is British
empire with home rule for all the parts,
on system resembling that of the diff
ferent states of the American Union, all
with equal rights, and England herself
with the same rights, no more, no less,
than Ireland or the South African states.
Chamberlain doubtless also expects to
be prime minister, but the Chamberlain
ideal is quite different. To the colonial
secretary "the colonies are possessions to
be exploited, but partaking in no sense
Of the sacredness Of Britain's home
SOIL" he regards the COLONIES" chiefly
as possessions for the mother state to get
rich from. The olashing of these two
powerful minds and their attempts each
to model the British government upon
the basis Of his ideas will be the most
striking feature Of English politics in
the years Immediately to come. Which
will gain the ascendenoy?

DunYavon Done.

The unpleasant termination Of the
Dunraven affair must be regretted, but
certainly the New York Yacht club has
nothing to reproaoh itself with. Dun
raven made charges Of unfair treatment
against Mr.. 1selin, with whom he raced
last summer. The New York Yucht club
had these charges investigated by as
able committee as the world affords
probably. The committee found them
groundless. Dunraven then had the
course of q gentleman left open to him
Ito apologize to the New York Yacht
club, of which he was member, for his
mistake. Everybody was considerate
enough t. believe this somewhat hasty
tempered gentleman had really thought
the charges we'll founded. but he was
proved by the committee to be wrong.
Ample opportunity was given him to
apologize He did not and would not. The
only course left open to the club was to
expel him from membership, as it did
do. Instead Of apologizing, Dunraven
sent letter resigning from the club.
His letter did not reach the club before
his expulsion, but if it had the result
could not have been different. To be
allowed to resign from an organization
| it is recognized rule that the member
resigning must be in good standing,
which Dunraven certainly was not. He
could only have been expelled even If
his letter had been received. It is to be
hoped, however, that incident will not
interfere with future cordial relations
between British and American yachting
people.
