motion if DIR. Jameson's band was simps
II a band Of freeIooters which set out
unbeknown to the authorities of the Cape
Colony and without their consent, and
continued it's march in face of the COM
mand of the English colonial secretary
to return. The most natural and plausi-
BILE explanation is that the British were
in sympathy with the purpose of the ex-
pedition and that the disavowal of the
government was largely verbal, for if the
British were really opposed TO it they
ought to be rejoicing over it's defeat
along with the German emperor, and not
getting red in the face and indulging in
unlimited buster because of the German
monaroh's despatch of congratulatIon.
When the bottom facts come out 1t is
altogether probable that it will ap-
pear that the Cape government
was not only knowing to Jameson's
purpose, but assisted it by supplying
the funds for organizing and arming
the expedition. The South African
Company runs the government Of the
Cape Colony, Sir Hercules Robinson, the
governor, being a tool of Rhodes and ap-
pointed at his solicitation. 1t is not the
first time that a British trading company
has added war making to it's commercial
business. The British East India Com
pany cut up, though on larger scale, in
India the same kind of pranks that
Cecil Rhodes and his company have been
guilty of in South Africa. Many, if not
the most of British aggresslons have been
committed in the name of trade and COM
merce. The British flag has generally
closely followed Britt sh trade, the rows
her merchants and trading companies
have kicked up serving as valuable pre-
texts for occupation by British troops. Her
sovereignty over the Indies was gained
in this way and SO was the control of the
Chinese ports So also was the control
of South Africa. The nations of con-
tinentaI Europe which are familiar with
her methods of spreading her dominion
naturally take very little stock in her
disavowai of Jameson's expedition and
make no effort to conceal their satisfac-
ton over the fate that befell it.

THE Beers AND THE BRITISH.

The rage OF the British press over
President Cleveland's Venezuelan mes
sage was oalmness itself compared with
its frothing over the despatch of oongrat-
ulation which the Emperor of Germany
sent to President Kruger of the Transvaal
Republic at the defeat and capture of
Jameson and his band. All the London
newspapers chorus the sentiment that
the despatch was a gratuitous insult to
England, and the press and public seem
to be anxious to resent it in some way,
though the way is not very obvious. 1t

Mr.. Elkins's resolution against the pri-
waite disposal of bonds without adver-
tisement did not pass the Senate though

Senate was well disposed toward it, AS

President any specific act under which
he can procure gold to replenish the re-
serve and TO compel him to fall back on
the existing imperfect law, there shold be
no captious criticism of the executive,
but it is difficult to see the advantage of
disposing of the bonds to private syndi-
cate without aseertaining what other
syndicates or individuals would pay for
them, by advertisement. Certainly the
last trade the government made private
