The original settlers OF the Transvaal
were all Dutch. They established re-

notions, and governed acoordiug to the ir
own views Nobody molested them and
nobody YVES inclined to molest them for
many years Their troubles date from
the dis lovery of gold in their territory.

country, large por cent of whom were

presence WAS not agreeable to the Dutch,
who viewed with alarm their rapidly In
cressing number, and proceeded to take ef-
fective mef surs to keep their republic as
they wanted it BY denying the franchise TO
the foreigners Ih doing this they did only
what 1t has always been admitted that
every Independent state has the right to
do. Every republic has certain nat
uralization laws the effect of which Is
to restrict more or less the suffrage to
natives The nature of thcss laws, the
amount of restriction to be impcs Sd,
have always been admitted to come under
the head of internal affairs which the
State had exclusive CONTROL of and concern
ing which no outside nation Ind any
right to interfere. Mos of the Stairs of
the United States impcss residence for a

case OF some foreigners, notably the Chin
sss, we go much further and practically
exclude them from the country. The
Beers have been more severe In their re-

Some of our inlperialist contemporaries
are not quite satisfied with the condition
of things In the Sulu archipelago. Here
is the Bangor News, for instance, which
has always supported the expansion policy
saying this:
1t was known from the first that
slavery existed In the Sulu archipelago,
but it was no expected that official rec
ognition, unless for purposes of suppress
s,on, would be accorded by a Republican
administration TO uhe institution of slav-
cry, which the Republican party was
called into being to abolish under the
American har. Slavery will have TO be
abolished in the Sulu archipelago and
abolished speedily.

ALBERT II. SAWYER.

With the memory of the fire that des-
troyed the cosy summer home, fixtures
and every nanahle thing of value pos
sessed by Albert d. Sawyer, still fresh in
the mind of all who passed the summer
at Peaks island, comes the still sadder
news of the sudden death of Mr.. sawyer
which occurred at an early hour yester-
day morning.
The deceased was born In this city in
1887 and In early life learned the cooper s
trade; later be entered the employ of the
Portland company and while still a young
man, made two trips to California in
search Of gold. Upon his return MIR.
Sawyer married Miss Lizzie Bibber, who
with one son, William f., survives him.
Mr.. Sawyer was a much respected eiti-
zen.

the commander in Manila will be d.
vid d into two parts, enc tine purely OWL
administration, to be ICON 1ded to Gen.
Otis. while Gen. Lawton or sonnet other
officer takes charge of the army in the
field. This would be way of letting Gen.
Otis down easily, and getting the army
fnto mere energetic hands without Sc
verely wonnding his pride. The worst
thing that seems TO. be proved against
Gen. Otis is tina he fails to inspire any
