THE CAPE CAMPAIGN.

The Cape Colony is now in the midst of one Of
the most important political campaigns it has
known for many years, upon which the whole
future of South Africa depends in an excep-
tonal degree. There are many minor issues.
some of them personal and petty. But the dom
inapt one Is the old race problem In It's extrem-
est form. 1t is not whether Brltons or Dutch
men are to rule. but whether Brtons are to
have equal rights with Dutchmen In British
colony. That. extraordinary as II sounds. Is the
question which caused the recent defeat of the
Government and the appeal 10 the people. and
which is TO be decided by the voters nj the forth
coming election.
At present, as for years past. one Dutchman
is politically equal TO at least two Brltons.
That Is TO say the distribution Of seats Is such
that II takes only about half as many votes 10
elect a representative In Dutch as in n British
district SO the Dutch have far more and the
British far less than their proper representation.
The reason Of this Is that the rural districts are
chiefly Dutch and the towns and cities British.
and the growth Of population has in late years
been chiefly in the latter. When the distribu-
ton of seats was made II was equitable bur
the changes In population have made il grossly
unfair. The Dutch cxultlng In their advantage,
have opposed all propositions for redIstribu-
ton Of seats; and when there seemed proba-
billty that a redistribution bill would pass the
late Legislature they made desperate rally,
and. with the aid of few Brtons who are per
eonal enemies of the Prime Minister. managed
10 carry by n majority OF five a vote Of want Of
confidence In the Government Dissolution and
the appeal to the people followed
Both sides are confident OF winning In the
election The Dutch are making n vigorous APP
peal 10 race and personal prejudice, and are
getting much aid from President kriiger and
the Transvaal Beers. The more radical spirits
actually look to an entire secession from the
British Empire and union with the Transvaal

ETREETCAR HEdUWAY.

The street railway managers who protest that
they never could begin TO handle the traffic II
they did not let even their open cars be cranllncd
with passengers. TO the discomfort Of those who
have previously paid fares and secured seats,
neglect TO take into account the saving OF time
which could lie made IL cars once full could
avoid stops. They say that their cars are run
under the shortest possible Roadway. and this
may be true for n short space OF time IN rhe
rush hours, though 1t certainly is not true at
other times Of the day. when even In Broadway
below Twenty third-st. It is frequently impossi-
frequent as In the rush hours. But. however
close together tie cars may run. their progress
Is measured by the speed Of the slOwest car.
and that car Is always the one which Is
crowded.
The reason Of this is perfectly evident II all
the cars have the same number Of stops to make
they Will keep at about the same distance apart
and no delay will occur. But let car begin TO
make too many stops-that Is. to take more
than its normal number of passengers-and the
space between it and its leader begins TO
lengthcn out. Then the car gets little behind
hand The people waiting for cars become more
freouent because there has been more time be-
tween cars for them to gather. They pile into
the already crowded car. delaying II further and

resnondingly. the number of impatient travel
