But to get at the root of the present
trouble we must so back a little. DAN
ger began when Rhodes, who seems to
have a passion for bowling over repub-
lies like ninepins, calmly announced
his proposition to amalgamate the
whole of South Africa into an English
speaking colony, in thorough and unit
ed sympathy with the home govern
ment.
Such a declaration at once placed
Kruger and Rhodes in the political
arena together, each to battle for his
own. One had a hunger for political
power wealth and fame. The other
was determined to maintain the liberty
and political integrity of his country.
Then followed Sthe inevitable breach,
and the Anglo-SaXon found that he was
bucking UP against a stronger power
than he had thought for. Then, too,
came Rhodes simulated change of heart,
and his declaration in the most unmis-
taxable terms that he had accepted the
motto, Africa for the AfrikanderS." In
his speeches at the time he urged the
native born young men throughout
South Africa to secure the best possible
education. He advocated such while
giving them to understand that in the
near future the prizes of office would
be preferably bestowed upon all native
born candidates proving fit to receive
the same. Such plan at once pleased
and united the younger element among
the Dutch-English and German resi-
dents of South Africa. Mr.. Rhodes was
duly chosen premier Of Cape Colony,
and became for the moment the idol of
the "Afrikanderbund,"- q league de-
voted to the PRONUNCIATION of such ideas
as those held by the political buccaneer
who was at their head.
But in the meantime Rhodes had
stretched out his arm and obtained from
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-09-03

as the selfish and mercenary intruder
among an industrious, homely and
peace loving people.
Which is true? Was it something
more than joke on the part Of Mark
Twain when that American humorist
declared that Cecil Rhodes was indeed
a very clever man, but that he Mark
Twain) should like to have a piece of
the rope when he died? Is President
Kruger, after all, the serpentine and
INSCRIPTIONS autocrat that the British
colonial office would have the world
imagine, and is the Boer always known
by the mark of the beast, and the
Anglo Saxon always the angel?
1 think not AS an old resident Of
the South African Republic, as a man
fairly well versed in Transvaal affairs,
and as d repentant and sorroWing par
ticipator in events Of previously trou-
bled times at the lower end of the dark
continent, l believe 1 am able to speak
with some little conviction on those
things pertaining to the Transvaal
about which the outside world at pres
ent seems so strangely misled and so
mysteriously blinded.
The following candid statement of the
actual condition of South African af-
fairs is intended, it will be said, to pre-
sent only the Boer side of the contest
now taking place in and about the
South African Republic. If such is the
case l can only say my attitude is a
matter of evidence, and not one of ad-
Vocacy. This statement, therefore, is
an endeavor on my part to present the
facts as [ have found them, and while
the information here impaired is given
as authentic, it is offered without COM
ment or conscious prejudice by the
present writer.

In johannesburg Colonel Frank
Rhodes, a brother of Cecil, together with
John Hayes Hammond and a number
of others, had come out to the Rand
under contract to act as mine man

of the Transvaal within itself. HAM
mond's executive genius soon won
speedy recognition, and though he
was handsomely salaried by the
capitalist whose mines he operated,
he readily entered into the British
ers' plot to improve forcibly the
constitution of the Transvaal. Under
the new conditions Americans, Germans
and EngliShmen were alike to step in
for the governmental plums and receive
equal trade chances. Hammond's pa
irons accordingly put him in charge of
mining properties to such an extent
that he was made the master of over
1000 ablebodied white. men and nearly
twice that number of native workers.
