republicanism without a republic. The
Boer ideal is to live upon a farm so big
as to conceal from view his next neigh
Dor, and to be exempt from all Govern
ment interference, particularly that of
the tax collector. His constitution is
framed on the theory that every Boer
capable of bearing arms has a right to
be heard in the national assembly, and
if his view does not prevail. it is in his
tradition to secede and establish a Gov
ernment for himself, even in defiance of
a popular majority.
The history of the Beers is one third
war against England, one third war
with negroes, and one-tTird civil war.
So natural is it that the Boer should
take up arms against his own Govern
ment that in past years the penalty for
technical treason has been about the
same as that for stealing a horse, or
being drunk and disorderly over night.
The Boer by no means surrenders any
of his own personal rights when he
elects his representative in the Volks-
raad or his President. The Parliament
is regarded merely as a peoples com
mittee, and the President as it's modera-
tor or spokesman. The people expect
their President to visit them with the
regularity of family physician or min
lister of the Gospel. and they exercise the
right to catechise him as to what he has
done, and to ventilate each in turn,
whatever grievances he may entertain.

of the republic. represented so intimate

Between Rich and Poor in India.

Our standard of civilization is per-
sonal comfort-luxury, a thing abso-
lutely unknown in native India There
is scarcely any difference in the mode
of living between the rich and the poor.
If you go into the house of a Rajah,
there is the same bare floor, and only
a simple platter to eat from, such as is
seen in the home of the poorest. To
put it crudely, there will probably not
be even the luxury of a wash basin
and towel, for the rich man, like his
poor brother, washes in the open and
dries himself in the sun. Such is the
extreme simplicity of life that wealth
is still buried in India; man may
spend it on jewels for his wife, but not
on pleasure or personal comfort. This
simple life, which fostered no distinc-
tions of class, had been preserved for
5000 years by Indian civilization, but
ours will destroy it in fifty years.
