To Judge from what has lately been
written ON the present crisis by Mr.
Rider Haggard, Sir Sidney shippard and
that eminent divine Canon Knox Little
who, although he knows no more
about the Transvaal Beers than could
be learnt from the windows OF rail
way carriage and few hours coaching,
has satisfied himself that they are "a
very vile peoIle-all the tronbles in
South Africa date from the retrocession
Of the Transvaal TO the Beers in 1881.
These historians seem to forget that
South African history dates back to a
somewhat earlier period. They forgot
the story OF how in 1886 the fathers
and grand-fathers of the Beers now liv-
ing in the Transvaal abandoned their
farms in the Cape Colony, and with their
wives and families trekked away into
the wilderness, because OF the unjust
trement that they thought had been
meted out to them by the British gov
ernment, and how, after many vicissi-
tudes, the independence Of those Of
them who had settled beyond the
Vaal river was guaranteed to them by
the Sand river convention, which was
signed in 1852; and how 25 years later
their independence was taken away
most unjustly in 1877. | can testify
from my own knowledge that just pre-
vious 10 1877 there was no ill-feeling
whatever between the British and the
Dutch in any part OF South Africa,
and have no hesitation in saying that
that the bitterness which at present
unhapily exists between the two races
had its origin in recent times, not in
the fetrocession Of the Transvaal, but
in the unjust and imOlitic annexation
OF that country which proceeds all the
lamentable events which in 1881 led TO
its retrOcession. ...
OF course, IL all arbitration or discus
sion OF the points disputed should be ar
bitrarily refused by the colonial secre-
tary il is difficult 10 see how war can be
avoided, for the Transvaal Beers are an
obstinate people, and will probably
rather fight than climb down very low.
In that case we shall have entered upon
course which, though il may give us
the gold fields Of the Transvaal for the
present and the immediate future, will
infalliby lose us the whole OF South
Africa NJ II British possession within the
lifetime of many men who are now liv-
ing. Through arrogance and ignorance
Great Britain lost her American colonies,
and II arrogance and ignorance prevail
in the present conduct of affairs in South
Africa history will repeat itself in that
country.
