THE BLACK PERIL IN AFRICA.

Considerations Which Make Against
 War Between Great Britain and the
 Transvaal.
 The fear of native uprising has been referred to as making for peace between Great Britain and the Transvaal It IS a genuine and great fear, coming Ike upon both parties to the present contro- versy. How real it is may be seen from the fact that already, on the strength or mere rumors of war, the tribes Tn the northern part of the Transvaal have be- come restless, while the Matabeles are quitting work and endeavoring to get arms. It will be remembered that the little Jameson raid, with it's withdrawal of police from Matabeeland, was the opportunity and indictment of the last Matabele war Beyond doubt, an armed conflict between Great Britain and the Transvaal would be regarded by myrfads of blacks as affording all op- portunity for a general rising through out South Africa. In some cases the rising would be against the Dutch, and in some it would be against all White men.
 Censuses in South Africa are not as accurate as in some other parts of the world, but the latest figures are proba- bly, within measurable distance or the

truth. They show that in Cape Colony the population is 376,S12 white and l. 14S,926 colored; in Natal, 44,4i5 white and 459,2SS colored; in Rhodesia, l9,0Oo white and 500,000 colored; in Bechuana- land, 5,254 white and 7,471 colored; III Basutoland, 57S white and 21S,326 col ored; in the Transvaal, 300,0 ,000 white ana 649,56O colored; in Swaziland, no white and 60OOO colored, and in the Orange State, 77716 white and 129,7S7 colored. Thus there are nearly four times as many blacks as whites in South Africa as a whole.
 How do these subjugated natives re- gard the ruling races? In word, they hate the Dutch and fear the British. Few of them have any real affection or loyalty toward their rulers. Nearly all of them cherish the ambition of expell- ing or destroying the white men ana re-esta blishng their native sovereign ties They hate the Dutch, because the latter have treated them much as the children of Israel treated the native tribes of Palestine. They would long ago probably have swept the Dutch communities to ruin had it not been for | ly tangible and partly imagined ln vague immensity. The natives who have been taken to London and re turned to South Africa have carried back wonderful. tales of the might o1 Britain, which have been in measure believed and have exerted restrain ing influence upon the tribes.
 But here is the danger in the present situation; The natives see the Trans vaal defying Great Britain. From that 1 fact they reckon that, after all, Great Britain cannot be much if any stronger than the Transvaal. They know that they are themselves stronger than the Transvaal So they are encouraged te think themselves able to cope with the British That is the train of reasoning now at work in the minds of the Zulus | and Swazis and Basutos and Matabeles and all the other warlke tribes, The | talk of war between their two masters intoxicates them. They see red O course. their revolt would be madness In the end it would be suppressed b3 the British, as so many others have been. But the cost would be enormous in treasure and in human lives. It it z possibility which cannot be contempla ted with equanimity. It is something which would be so dreadful that, rathe

MANY CONVENTIONS.

Western States to Hold Thirty-three
 Good Roads Meetings-L. A. w. Work
 for Improved Highways.
 The agitation for good country roads which the League of American Wheel ,,oep has maintained for several years is rapidly developing into proportions of ractical magnitude This is particu- 1arlv true of the western states, where the need of passable highways is felt even more than in the eastern states, which. though lamentably backward in This regard, are still somewhat more advanced than the latter settled sections of the country
 Tnorder to make the work ot aglta- +ion more efficacious the league has for the last three years had as the chalf- man of it's highway improvement com mittee Otto Dorner, of Milwaukee, who has earned the reputation ot being the hest uniformed advocate Of good roads in the United States and who, because Inf his western location, has been in the hest position to advance the movement where it is most needed The practlcal res111t of the work that has been dohe hv the league. principally through thls committed is now shown ln serles ol conventions which really mark most ;,,nortant advancement in the agitation. rhase conventions are to be held in four states and are to be conducted on the most systematic principles, and the work of their organization is directly and indirectly traceable to the work or +be Teael1e of American Wheelmen, the pioneers of the movement,
 The league has long known that to make the movement success It would he necessary to secure the interest ana ossistance of the farmers, the class most vitally interested in country roads, and for several years it has done an immense amount of proselyting among aericulturists The most effective means employed was used last year uben chairman Dorner distributed half million pamphlets on the supJect rolal1 among farmers. This book was so well received that an awakening or interest was almost at once manllesteu' Talxing advantage of this MT Do1ner commenced practical steps tor hoIolhg conventions of interested paftles, ana so well has he succeeded in his cam ,aion that he will see the fruits of II tbi year in no less than thlrty-tnree . good roads conventions in the states of yvisconsin.

 With the dates set the outline of the programme to be followed is interesting | There will be discussions and treatises on the subject of road building and the various phases of the economical value of 'navigable" highways, and at each one there will be practical demonstra- ton of scientific road building. This latter will probably be the most inter- esting feature of each convention and will be in charge of Professor E. c. liar rison, the government road expert, Whc will attend nearly all of the meetings and will build short strips of roads which in most cases will be so placed as to remain permanent exhibits fol | hn f.f hn trict visited. The manufacturers of road building machinery and appliances will have machines on exhibition anC representatives of the concerns will be on hand to give required information.
 By this means an extended campaign of good roads education will result, anc allowing for the average extension ol such education after the conventions are over it is expected that within comparatively short time the movemen will have received such impetus iron the farmers and their allies, the wheel men, that the legislators of the differen states will be compelled to take cogni zance of it.
 The league will continue it's work ol the same lines in other states, while. th' various divisions of the organization through their state highway commit teese, will take up other featuresant keep them moving until the ultimate ob ject is attained in the greatest possible measure And while on this subject i is but just to remark that it is strang that more wheelmen do not becom members of the national organization which is engaged in a movement of sucl magnitude, and which is deserving O support from both selfish and unseltisl motives.
