BOER GREEN BOOK.
History of the Franchise Proposals

History of the Franchise Proposals
Given.
Pretoria, Sept. pa green book has
been issued containing the report of
States Attorney SHUTS to the govern
ment on the pourparler between him
self and the British diplomatic agent,
Mr.. Conyngham Greene, leading to the
conditional five years franchise pro-
posal.
Mr.. SHUTS asserts that the proposal
was the result of private discussion
and an agreement that both govern
ments should informally decide about
the offer and its acceptance before the
offer should be formally submitted. He
also contends that the exact draft OF
the offer was wired to the British high
commissioner, Sir Alfred Miner, and
that the imperial government sent a
dispatch to Mr.. Greene which the lat
ter interpreted as an acceptance Of the
offer.
Mr.. Smuts says that had the Trans
vaal known any difficulty would be
made about suzerainty his government
would never have made the proposals,
but would have probably Immediately
accepted the invitation to joint COM
mission of inquiry regarding the seven
year proposal. He also denies that he
promised Mr.. Greene that the new
members of the raad should be allowed
to speak English. All he said on this
subject. he declares, was that the mat
ter would easily settle itself, and he
shows that in the telegram to Sir AL
fred Miner no mention was made of
this subject.

Move Troops to Front.

London, Sept. 23-No retreat, no pro-
vocation, but more troops to the front.
That is brief summary of the cabinet
meeting.
The continuance Of negotiations with
the Transvaal on former lines is not
considered desirable, and a fresh start
will be made as soon as the ministers
have leisure for deliberate review of
the whole situation.
Meanwhile the military forces IL
South Africa will be increased by 10000
or 10000 men, the Transvaal govern
ment will be courteously informed that
the ministers require time for reconsid-
ering the subject of England's relations
with the Dutch republic. and the door
will not be closed against pacific diplo-
macy If President Kruger wishes tc
make fresh overtures
The ministers are determined not to
provoke declaration of war; especially
when they are not in readiness for hos
tilities, but they will not modify the
terms of the last communication sent
out by Mr.. Chamberlain.
The great stir of military prepara.
tions prevailing at army headquarters
betokens the dispatch of large rein
forcements to the Cape and Natal.
The prolonged conference between
Mr. Balfour and Lord Rothschild indi-
Gates that the spending departments
are short of money. and that parlia-
ment may be summoned in October un>
less temporary arrangements can be
made with the great financiers for
bridging over the crisis.
The drift OF affairs of this week has
been strongly In the direction of war.
although no one in authority is yet
willing to admit that the last word has
been said in favor of peace. Military
experts complain that the ministers
have been too optimistic. and that Kru-
ger now has chance of striking Natal
before the British garrison is prepared
to defend the frontier adequately.

heartily in favor Of it, and yet to fool
the men who stand for sound finance by
explaining to them that that question is
really relegated to the rear and is not a
live issue. They can not be both for and
against free silver, and as long as they
are for it, it makes no difference whether
they shout or whisper their allegiance.
In either case they would have to turn
their words into acts should they come
into power, and in both cases, there
fore, the menace to the prosperity of the
country and the welfare of its citizens
are equally great. The salvation of this
country lies to no small extent in the
fact that while the bulk of our people
fully appreciate the Importance of par
ty, and the usefulness of party govern
ment, yet that they put country above
party. So it was in the civil war. when
the war democrats honored themselves
by standing by their country; and so 1t
will be now, for we have right to call
upon all sincere lovers of the flag, upon
all believers in national honesty and
civiluprightness, upon all men who wish
to bring about the betterment and up
lifting of the mass of the people, who
stand with US until the heresies for
which our opponents now fight have
been relegated to the unclean dust
where they belong.

IN fact, II the authority We're TO be

ing. The guess is that If Senator Gear
