true colonlsts 1t woud be sad. indeed. wero the
closing years Of hei Ma!esty's reign marred by an
Of bloody aggression directed against the indie
pendenco ~ our neighbors."
The Witness of Johannesburg, a paper
expressing the sentiments OF q considerable
number OF Uitlanders OF British origin,
warns the English public to keep an open
mind on all the reports sent from South
Africa as to the attitude of the Uitlanders
in the Transvaal, and emphatIcally denies
that it Is what Is represented In some OF
tho English papers. Another EnRlishman,
who has spent twenty years in Cape Colony,
writes:
Politics are very strained in South Africa and.
although the Dutch and English get on well enough
individually tho racial feeling is -ery s,uio
should not be surprised at any day II 1t does
occur it will be big thing and fearful one. too as
am sure many OF the Colonial Dutch would help
the Transvai and It would be like the civil war in
America brother against brother"
Another correspondent, q Scotchman,
writing from Krtigersdorp in the Trans
vaal, gives but n sorry account OF some OF
the leading agitators against tho Govern
ment OF the republic, whose antipathy to
BOREDOM, he says, may DO traced to the
fact that they are discharged and discred-
tied ex-oillcinls Of tho State who lost their
positions through fraudulent practices and
are considered by those best acquainted
with their careers somewhat ungrateful to
their former employers"
With regard to the dynamite monopoly,
Of which so much was made at one time,
the matter was dropped by Sir ALFRED
MILNER after the publication Of the CORE
spondence between Mr.. JOSEPH CHAMBER
LAIN and the Transvaal Secretary OF State,
Mr.. +. w. REITH on the subject. Mr..
CHAMBERLAIN, after admitting that the
dynamite monopoly is not necessarily in
consistent with Article ii OF the London
Convention" proceeds to argue that be-
cause this monopoly, in his opinion, bcne-
fits private individuals more than the
state, 1t Is practically an infringement
thereof With this argument he laid him
self open to the sharp and conclusive rctort
OF Mr.. +. W. REITz, who, among other
things, reminded him that "the spirit and
aim of Article A is clearly to the effect that
strangers soiourning here"-that is, In the
South African Repubic-"wll enjoy and DO
subject to the same trading rights and OBJ
legations as hurghcrs, which is the case
under the existing State monopoly"
In connection with this question a
London financial paper points out that a
good many people in England benefit by
this monopoly through the Nobel Dyna-
mite Trust and otherwise, and that it would
be better for the Boer Government and the
mining industry were it abolished, but
that there ia no moral or legal right to com
pei the Transvaal to cancel it. 1t was the
perception Of this that probably caused Sir
ALFRED MILNER, on his own initiative, to
| drop the matter, so as not to overweight
himself with untcnahlc demands; and to
| devote himself to the franchise, now the
| question OF the moment.

From the Ven orleans Times Democrat.
This talk about starting n cigarette trust IN

would as soon think of starting an ice trust at
the North Pole and trying 70 corner the inside

The Next Campaign in the Soudan.

It is now quite certain that early in Octo-
Der small army and camel train will be
marching westward over the sandy steppe
of Kordofan to give battle to the Khalifa,
who still threatens the peace OF the Soudan.
There are two reasons why 1t Is necessary
to wind up affairs with him. First. he is
sending raiders far and wide TO seize pro-
visions for his force OF about 5000 men,
and they are terrorizing over hundred
miles OF the west bank of the Nile, from
which many OF tho people, all agricul-
turists. are fleeing. At his camp near
Lake Shirkeleh, also, he is within 1 so miles
of Abbas Island, in tho Nile. tho birthplace
Of tho Mahdi whence he set out on his con-
reach the island by dash, or have single
success at arms, the fanaticism Of his old
adherents might DO rekindled. AS a po-
litical factor he must be suppressed.
Tho Khalifa's camp is in the midst OF a
vast expanse Of scmi-desert country, but in
the rainy season now prevailing the few
valleys leading to the Nile, which caravans
must follow because the wells are there,
are flooded or marshy for considerable dis
tanccs and are difficult to traverse. Tho
campaign. therefore, can scarcely begin till
tho end OF the rainy season In October.
Tho hope Is then declsively to defeat him
in battle or to keep him away from tho
wells and other water sources and compel
his submission by hunger and thirst. 1t is
unlikely that he will be able to give very
serious trouble again, but there can be no
peace till he is effectively restrained.

The Key Is LuZon.

Prof. SCHURMANs trip to the central and
southern Philippines shows very clearly
that with the overthrow of AGUINALDo all
important opposition to us in tho islands
may be expected to fall 1t Is true that tho
insurrection in Luzon has sympathzers,
and even agents and allies. in some OF the
other islands. Samar and Lcyte, for ex-
ample, which are near Luzon, Prof. SCHUR-
MAN found to be somewhat "infected
with the Tagal spirit OF rebellion" and
even in Palawan, which is well to the
south, near Bornco, he found two repre-
scntatives Of AGUINALDO, whilo the local
Governor " offered the plea of indisposition
as an excuse for not visiting the Bcnning-
ton" In northern Panay are about Il thou
sand TagalS. But, on the other hand, in
some islands the Taguls are not favored.
The Christians of the great island OF Min
danao, who form a third Of the population,
dislike them, while the Moros, another
third, can be brought to terms with us.
Prof SCHURMAN says the Moro chief OF
Xamboanga province has raised the Ameri-
can flag, and that the chief Of Basilan is
also friendly.
The sum OF the observations OF the
President OF the Peace Commission Is that
while there may be little eagerness for
our rule in the central and southern
islands, as Is natural where so little is
known OF it, there is also little resistance to
be feared. In the Visayas, he tells us, there
is no desire to fight. The question there
"is political instead OF military. When
ever AaUNALDo Is crushed the Visayans
will submit passively. They are awaiting
settlement OF the trouble in Luzon,
and are willing to abide the result" And
