Possibility Of War with the Republic Brings
Country to the Front Agan-characterlstics Of the
Beers Their md.

e. BE trouble in the Transyaal is q
war Of races. In that country Of
wind-blown yeldt and craggy hills
the aggressive, restless, absorbing, con-
Quering, colonizlng spirit of the Anglo
Saxon faces the stolidly courageous
inertia of the Dutch. Three times in
the past the blaze of open conflict has
Jared. The smoldering embers are
growing brighter red, and the time
is not distant when once more they will
burst into fame. That is the judgment
Of every unbiased student Of the situa-
ton. 1t is their Judgment, too, that
the coming combat Will far surpass it's
predecessors in fury, in fatalities and
In results.
1t Is country worth fighting for. Be
tween 1t and that portion of the United
States which lies just to the eastward
of the Rockies there is strong similar
ity. 1t has the same wide-spreading
mesas, carpeted with waving grasses,
green In the early spring and brown in
the heats of summer. There are the
same infrequent and treacherous water
courses, the same magnificent dis
tances, the same jutting knobs Of gran
lite and other stones, which we call
"buttes." The land of the Dutch is pos
sibly less fertile than the American
land, although there is no better cattle
country. AS an Offset to this 1t is the
greatest gold-producing area of the
earth. 1t is gold that has caused all
the trouble, because the thirst for gold
has brought in the tens of thousands
Of foreigners, mostly Englishmen, who
have come to be known as "uitland-
ers" or outlanders.

they have had to oppose men Of Dutch
blood, who have proved by many wars
that they are nation of fighters as
well as of farmers. Since the first col
ony of Dutchmen landed at Cape Col
ony, in 1862, these people have been the
enemies of England, and have shown 1t
In a variety Of ways. The present diff
Guilty is based, apparently, on technical
grounds. but Kruger, who may be call
ed the Dutch George Washington, has
taken every opportunity to arouse the
feeling Of his countrymen, and Of the
native African as far as possible, to
incite another war. None know this
better than the British Foreign Office,
and 1t is endeavoring in every way pos
sible to avoid an open rupture. Should
Kruger and his allies come out vlctorl-
Gus there is possibility that the en-
tire southern portion of Africa, from
the Limpopo River, which bounds the
Transyaal on the north, to Cape Colony
will again be under the administration
Of the Holland emigrants On the other
hand, should they be defeated, 1t will
be long step toward the complete sub
Jugation of Africa to British interests.
Hence the Importance of the outcome
of the difficulty.
The southern peninsula Of Africa is
practically divided into several repub-
lies of greater or less size under the
suzerainty of Great Britain. The pro.
ceedings of the Parliament in Cape Col
ony and the volksraad in the Trans.
yaal are seldom or never lnterfered
with by the British Foreign Office. The

Two si.rer


Two singers there were and one was
like
TO a queen in her royal gown
With a stately step, and pride agleam
In the deep of her eyes of brown:
And ones was a face with a centler
grace,
And eyes that heart shone
through
Eyes that borrowed the schoolday
tint :.
OF a little sunbonnet of blue.
One was a singer of great renown.
Now stirring the blood with note,
NOW charming the ear with the cul.
tured tones
Ihat came from her shapely throat;
And one was a singer of songs of love.
And she knew not the ways Of art;
But she sang right on past the ear
and poured
Rich melodies round the heart.
Two tributes of song-and one was
lost
IN the deafening volley Of cheers;
And one throbbed on when the singer
was gone,
And the answer was silence and.
tears.
All, many the day that has passed
since then,
And the singers that sang are nos;
But memory holds to little song,
And the other-forgot! forgot!

which are stationed at various towns,
not only at Capetown, but in Natal and
on the Gold Coast, for they are main
tanned by the home government and
are valuable as q protection, for which
no taxation Is necessary. This is owing
to the fact that the English population
has rapidly Increased within the past
few years, and their sympathy is with
their own nationality. The Kaffirs and
most Of the other black tribes also have
friendly feeling for the English and
are opposed to their original Dutch con-
querors for several reasons. They are
too well aware that government by the
latter means cruelty and bloodshed,
with the possible resumption of slav-
cry, which was one of the chief causes
of several of the wars which have oc-
Cured since 1850. The abolition of
slavery in the South African republics
greatly increased the bitter feeling of
the Beers, who by this step lost mill
ions of dollars in human property. 1t
was an act which they will probably
never forget nor forgive.
They are also opposed to the English
on account of their enterprise In devel-
oplng the mineral resources in this por-
ton of the continent. The descend
ants of the pioneers who landed in 1862
and those who have come over from
Holland since that time, have been con

resources of the country. If the aver

vegetables to supply the needs of his

as the cattle from his pastures, and the
