Great Britain's part with President

demanded a variety OF things relating
to the internal administration OF n
country which had the fullest right to
order Its internal affairs according TO
Its own preferences. without ac-
knowledging the right OF England to
raise any questions as to Internal tax
alton, naturalization. school admins
tration. and the like, the Transyaal
has nevertheless permitted itself to
discuss such questions for several
years. and has made very considerable
concessions for the sake Of avoiding, II
possible. a conflict with an irresistibiy
powerful opponent. But Mr.. Chamber
lain. as British colonial secretary, has
ingeniously changed his demands from
time to time. Certain large stock
market interests also have systematic
ally maintained a propaganda for stir
ring up the English people. Their theme
has been the suffering OF British SUBJ
jects In the gold-mining districts
through the oppressive conduct OF the
Boer government. We have repeatedly
discussed these alleged grievances and
have pointed out their absurdity and
their falsity. The British subjects In
the Transvaai are there temporarily
for the most part. They have never
had the slightest Idea OF giving up
their British citizenship and becoming
naturnllzed subjects OF the Transyani
Republic. Yet England for months had
been preparing for war on most
elaborate scale. with no pretcxt that
any one could give except that Presi-
dent Kruger was not willing to make
the term OF years requisite for natural
ization quite as short US Mr.. Chamber
lain thought II ought 10 be. Never be-
fore has so preposterous an excuse been
given for military preparations, so far
