The constitution Of the republic Of
the Transvaal is a lengthy and some.
what ambiguous document, the proyi-
sions Of which are just now Of especial
public interest, 1t declares that equal
ity between the white and colored races
shall not be tolerated either il state or
church. 1t forbids the existence within
its borders Of any churches whatever
save such as teach the doctrines Of the
heidelberg catcchisln, which is the doc
trine Of the Dutch Reformed church.
This prohibition has to some extent been
ignored so that a few churches other
than those Of the Dutch faith are per
mitted to exist in the Transvaal. 1t is,
h0wevcr, unlawful for a Dutch minis
ter to baptize negro, to administer &c
him the Lord supper or to perform the
marriage ceremony for negro couples,
the Beers holding the rather unique be
lief that negroes have no souls.
The supreme authority of the ropUb
lie is vested in legislative body, elect
ed By the people, though not in rep
resentative manner and the supremacy
is merely nominal, its power being sub
ordinated to the executive. Only mem
bers of the Dutch Reformed church ar
eligible to positions in the legislature
All laws considered by tho Legislative
| branch of the government must ilrS
have been suggested by the president 0
the republic, who is chosen by popula
vote, and must be a member Of tn
Dutch Reformed church. The member
Of his cabinet must also be members o
! that church. The courts are subOrGinat
TO the executive and are not pCrmitte,
| to interpret or pass upon the Constitu
! tiOnality of laws The executive isVest
ed with more autocratic power than j
vested in the crown in most limitC
mOnarchies, while the religious an
scctarian qualifications Of adminiStra
tive and legislative officials make til
! Transvaal ono Of the most ecclesiastiC
ally illiheral states in the Civilize
world. While the narrOwness and big
otry Of the Beers may not be rcgarde
as a sufficient justification for the G2
istence of war in South Africa, the
have unquestionably strongly contrib
uted to the existing hoStilities.

How oddly civilization works her
votarics at times is illustrated in the
history Of the Usage Indians. The
Usage Nation is rcputcd the richest per
capita in the world. they having 600
acres Of government land for every
man, woman and child and receiving he
sides $50 every three months They re
Gently had handsome houses built by
speculative traders, though after a
short trial Of them they moved back in
to their tepees and left their fine houses
vacant There are $50 families and
they owe the traders $500 600, AMI nov
more than two.thirds of them are going
into bankruptcy to shirk their debts,
for their land cannot be taken from
them and their quarterly stipend will
continue to come. If only the Indian
traders themselves enjoyed letter repu-
tations for honesty, no doubt the Coun-
try would heartily sympathi2e with
them for being done out Of their money
by these savages, who have learned tho
tricks of the whites. As the Indians
did to the whites just about what the
Indians had been led to believe from
past experiences the whites would have
done to them, these promoters Of civil.
cation will receive very littlc pity en-
account of thcr losses
