reforms is due to a lack of cohe
sion of British capitalists interest
ed in mining. These people wran-
gle among themselves, sometimes
supporting the republic and some
times condemning it.
On the whole it is not to be
wondered that the hard headed
Beers become suspicious of the
mining interests and form mis-
taken ideas of British intentions.
The Beers are kept at fighting
pitch and the following from a
Pretoria publication is fair proof
that a trial of strength would be
received as a satisfactory solution
of the difficulty: eve have tried
TO be civil, but civility is evidently
thrown away upon them. Luckily
we are better prepared for strug-

rifles enough and ammunition
enough at Pretoria to arm every
Afrikander in the Cape Colony,
while in 1850 we were forced to
rely, in many instances, upon the
ammunition we could take from
the enemy. We are convinced that

JAPAN AND THE UNITED STATES.

In a recent interview which a
representative of this paper had
with Minister Shimamura, he said
that his government had always
taken the view that Hawaii Is a
ward, so to speak, of Japan's great
friend and neighbor, the United
States. Similar statements and in
timations from japanese represen-
tatives at home and In Washing
ton have, from time to time, APP
peared and are tantamOunt to off
cial denials of any thought on their
part of attempting to interfere
with Hawaiian affairs. 1t may be
taken for granted then that idle
rumors of this kind must be dis
missed; and, therefore, the Hawai-
ian Government can approach the
recent difficulties without fear, and
with entire candor.
We must not be unmindful of
the fact that the United States has
stood as a kind of guardian of ia
pan, since her entrance into the
great family of nations. From the
time of Commodore Perry, the
great naval diplomat and Town
send Harris, the first United States
COnsuEGeneral, to the present day,
Americas representatives In Japan
have stood as a bulwark against
the rapacity and dominiering spirit
of certain European nations. And
now that Japan has grown strong;
that through many trials and trib-
ulations and notifications she is
amply able to assert her indepen-
dence, and to brook no interfer-
ence with her domestic affairs, she
will not forget the kind offices of
the nation that befriended her
when she was weak.

TROUBLES IN TRANSVAAL.

Time, the universal panacea for
political troubles, is not doing its
usual good work in the Transvaal.
In fact the relations between the
Uitlander and the Boer are quite
as unpleasant as In the days inn
mediately following the jameson
raid and rumOrs of war are obtain
ing ever increasing currency.
Facts brought out in the investiga-
ton of DR.. Jameson's action were
not of a character to counteract the
idea that the British colonial Off
GERS were entirely uninterested in
the attack upon President Kruger
and his sturdy followers. The
Jameson raid is admitted on all
sides as a most. colossal blunder
On the other hand there seems to
be no disposition to forget the past
and submit quietly to the arbi-
trary ruling of the Boer republic.
The transfer of British troops to
the Transvaal, as we'll as rumors
regarding British control of Della
goa bay serve to keep the Beers on
their mettle, ever watchful for in
trigues of British citizens and Brit
ish officials. 1t seems hardly prob
able that the present condition can
long exist. The present high ten
sion of feeling is causing the CON
tending factions to go to extremes.
Ruin to business interests is the
natural resultant and when pocket
books are touched the trouble us
ually begins in earnest. President
Kruger is not pursuing magnani-
NOUS course of action and we do
not know that it could be expected
in view of his previous experiences.
Self preservation is the first law
of nature.
Fear of the designs of Great Brit
ain is at the bottom of the difficult
ty and the Englishmen of South
Africa seem to be responsible for
keeping this suspicion alive. The
trend of English expression is, how
to overthrow BOer rule, not how
to pacify the anti-British senti-
ment. No less an authority than

Judge Hart takes this paper to
task for not numbering the United
States among the nations that look
upon Turkish crimes with indiffer-
ent complacency. The sin of the
United States may be equal to that
of the powers of Europe, but it is
worth while to remember that
should the United States attempt
to bring the Sublime Porte to time
it would be forced to face the as
sembled powers of Europe. An
other fact worth noticing in this
connection is the absence of the
American flag and American
troops on Cretan soil. While
Americans may have declined to
fight the Turk, they have never
prevented any effort to throw off
the Turkish yoke. The American
policy has always been one of strict
neutrality.

Did you enter into an agreement

Certainly not. Competition with
