Regarding the Worst Matter.

into the question. While the original
resolution did not extend the scope of
investigation beyond the single inquiry
as to whether Mr.. Worst drew two sal

consent enlarged to the matter of his
right to do 80.
The committee reports the facts of Mr..
Worst's election as lieutenant governor
and appointment as director of the sta

as have been stated. The statement that
Mr.. Worst drew two salaries was ad-
united. But the committee finds that

there is only one man to handle bag

this device will save many a trunk

in operation, giving admirable results.

In spite of this, the same old tale was
repeated. Beer mismanagement and
Incidence again tangled the industrial
skein and the Transvaal's cash box had
a painfully hollow sound, when the
gold discoveries of 1886 caused the rush
of foreigners into the country.
At first there was no question OF
alien rights or wrongs. Like all new
mining countries there was considerable
inconvenience, in the way of postal SER
vice.. etc, to put up with, but the
grumbling was mostly good-humored-

had siInmered down, everything would
arrange itself satisfactorily. AS far as

or any sign of IIitlanders usurping
power is concerned, can say, en-
phaticaliy, there was none. The sus-
picion of this came first from the Boer
government and was, at the time it
was originally bruited about. without
foundation. From the very first, the
honorable members of the Transvaal
folksraad seemed excessively sensitive
to the fact that the Uitlanders were
their superiors in intelligence and pro-
gresSiveness. Instead of endeavoring
to cooperate with these Uitlanders in
developing the resources of the country
the Beers profess to love so much, the
only remedy that appeared to suggest
itself to the linsited faculties of these
patriotic legislators was to tax to the
utmost. the products consumed by the
aliens and at the same time debar the
stranger from having a voice in such
taxation. The idea seemed TO be:
This cursed adventurer will not be
able to stand that kind of thing very
long, let US skin him while we have
a chance" But the cursed adventurer
did stay and the Beer authorities, while
avariciously grasping the money eX-
torted in this manner from the Uitland-
srs. lost no opportunity to insult him.
This was the fruit of Englan6's leni-
ency. The Beers despised the English.
because they firmly believed they had
whipped them, and as most of the Uit-
landers were English. the members of
the volksraad felt it incumbent on them
TO degrade them on ,every favorable oc-
casion.

Opposition to Foreigner.
The next step was to make foreign
representation impossible or next thing
to it. The franchise was raised from
four years to fifteen. When, by per-
sistent habit of living, you had man
aged to survive Boer legislation for fif-
teen years. and had existed continuous
ly in the Transvaal for that length OF
time, you had the privilege of voting.
For whom? Why, for a Boer. because
no intelligent man could be eligible for
office until he had spun out twenty-one
consecutive years in the Transvaal.
Don't you think the Boer had done
enough to effectually suppress the in
l.
bers of the volksraad, with the COM
bined wisdom Of DOgberry and Bot
tom, discovered that if something weres
not speedily done to stop the irrever-'
ence of the Uitlander. the Almighty, in
his wrath. would surely destroy the
country They therefore passed a law
that every person caught hunting or
fishing on Sundays should be heavily
fined for the first offense, and i'm
prisoned for repeating the sacriligious
crime. In their wisdom they also de-
creed that anyone discovered travelling
on Sundays by any mode of convey
ance, should be fined or imprisoned at
the option of the committing magis-
trate. The latter law, however, had a
saving clause. If the atrOcious delin-
quent could satisfactorily prove that
he was going to church, he was en-
titled to an honorable discharge. pro-
vided he had not travelled over twenty
miles. that was the limit for Sunday
travelling allowed by the legislators.
What a poor devotional soul was to do
if he lived twenty-one miles from q
place of worship was left unexplained.
Such laws, are. as a matter of course,
more honored in the breach than the
observance and even the Dutch magis-
trates connived at the delinquentS, but
they go long way to show what a
genuine, natiye-bOrn TranSvaal legis-
lator is.
A Bright Legislator.
