UNEASINESS ABOUT AFRICA.
The distant note of alarm in Mr..
Chamberlain's speech on South Africa
affairs In the House of Commons yes
'erday mas aroused consderab BILE uneasi-
ness which Is reflected in the sharp drop
IN prices at the Stock Exchange to-
day' The speech was certainly an able
one ana was as remarkable for what
~ ana not say as for what 1t did. 1t had
the effect of promptly silencing the OPP
rosiaion among the supporters of the
Government to the appointment of a
committee on inquiry, and nothing can
now prevent. at least, the form of in
vestiga ton. The speech contained one
significant phrase which has not pleas
ant sound In honest ears ls--e3 81. .s--a..-s
| THE committee" the speaker said
VIII know that IL has to shield great ma
tiona! interests and II will know how to
subordinate personal prejudIccs to those
higher and patriotic considcra tons"
rms Is very different from the func-
tlon assigned to the committee by the
Government last session. Then IL was
| to he the committees business to find
out the truth of the whole mlserab BILE
South African business. no matter what
interests national or otherwise were
! effected thereby.
Rhodes pLAN.
Mr.. Rhodes present idea Is to have
himself examined by the committee as
early as possible and then to return
| 10 South Africa 10 resume his lntrigues
against the Transvaa Republic. the ex-
istence of which Is an impossible barrier
TO the realization of his ambitious
schemes. leaving TO his accomplices in
nigh places In this country the task of
booking the committee by vast guam
tity OF evidence. 1t Is thought possible
by this means to keep the committee at
work FOR two or three sessions of Parlia-
ment. until having wearied every body
of the subject, he will present the world
with the accomplished fact OF a sue
cessful revolution In the Transvaal. The
programme on It's face seems impossible
and fantastic. but 1t Is seriously en-
tertained by Rhodes and his accom-
plces.
y good many people are still disposed
to pace Joseph Chamberlain in the lat
ter category, while others prefer to be-
lieve that he was merely the dupe OF the
millionaire filibusters. Meanwhile some
curious EnGllshmen, who are not af-
flicted with the taint Of iingosm, con-
tinueS to ask why Rhodes remains O
member of the Queens Most Honora-
bic Privy Council" An anonymous
writer to the Daily Chronicle. which Is
currently reported TO be no less a per-
son that Lord Loeb, formerly Governor
of Cape Colony and High Commissioner
in South Africa, pertinent,y reminds the
country that as Pr.vy Councillor.
Rhodes swore 10 advise the Queen to
the best of his discretion, 10 advise for
the Queens honor and the good the pub
lie without partially, to keep the
Queens counsel secret to avoid corrup-
ton. to help and strengthen the eXecu-
tion of what shall he resolved. TO with
stand all persons who would attempt the
contrary, to observe. keep and do all
that good and true counsellor ought
10 do to his sovereign"
BY Rhodes own admission he Is guilty
of action which constituted violation
of every one of these solemn obligations.
There is no need TO put him on trial, for
he has confessed, and to do the man
justice, he has made no hypocritical pre-
tnce of being sorry for anything eXce:S
the failure of his conspiracy. 1t is
evident. therefore, that President Kru-
ger has good cause for complaint and
ample ground for suspicion of England's
good faith so long as Cecil Rhodes is
permitted to remain Privy Councillor.
