French and Dutch, and to them were
granted a number of valuable conces-
sons and monopOlies. This was GER
tainly unfair to his own countrymen.
Among these grants the most impor
tant were the dynamite, the railway
and the distillery concessions. These
industries We're promoted by the impo-
sition of practically prohibitive import
duties. Kruger personally, / believe,
was honest in all this, as in fact he is
in every act, but for the time being his
judgment was dimmed by the intel
lectual dexterity of DR.. Leyds. Kruger,
it must be remembered, while man of
will and great force, is narrow of vision
and almost rabid in his fear of the alb
sorption of his country into the British
empire once more This haunting fear
has led him unconsciously to play into
the hands Of the foXlike Rhodes, who
could afford to wait and calmly saw the
Great Appropriation extend the
bounds of Cape Colony, shackle the
Free State with foreign railroad,
gather up an empire and parcel it out
among the friends Of the uitlanders.
Then the premier of the Cape took
his little trip to London. This visit to
London was Cecil Rhodes Rubicon.
While he manifestly went on the pri-
vate business of the chartered company

old Lobengula the privilege TO search
for gold in Matabeleland. There was
at the same time an understanding that
Rhodes should drive out and keep from
that country all, undesirable adven-
turers. Having thus once got hold of
the African kings scalp lock, it is his
tory that the gentle Cecil soon had the
old chiefs head and his country too.
But all this is another story.
Now we must go back to Kruger.
He, too, had given hope and encourage
ment to the youthful Afrikander to
educate himself for future official posi-
lions in his government. Under the
changed conditions arising out of the
sudden great gold discoveries, however,
Kruger seems suddenly to have aban-
doned that salutary and patriotic pol
icy. Responsive to the influence of Mr..
Book, the first secretary, and later
led away by the personal magnetism
of DIR. w. j. Leyds, the second secre-
tary of the republic, and at present the
ambassador general to the European
countries, the new Kruger oligarchy
caused to be imported from Holland a
large number of young Netherlanders
and upon these young strangers bestow-
ed practically every office of profit in
the gift of the government. Rhodes
and his following accordingly failed to

than had Chamberlain himself. Was it
she who first tempted Rhodes from his
original Africa for Afrikanders'' prin-
ciple and sowed within his mind the
first seeds of that later imperialistic
passion?
The answer seems obvious. When
Rhodes left Cape Town for London,
and before his talk with Miss Shaw,
he was undoubtedly sincere in his Afri-
kander support. 1t is singular, but sig
nificant, that in this, his first departure
from his rule not to confide in a wo-
man, he should have met with disaster
Exactly what it was that caused his
plans to change from a plea for the
native born to the magnificent and in
toxicating vision of a vast English
empire stretching across the southern
half of the dark continent will never
be known, unless some day Miss Shaw
decides to enlighten the world. Per-
haps an agreement was made with
certain member or members of the i'm
perial cabinet, Notwithstanding the tor
rent of official reputation which was
poured forth subsequent upon the
Jameson fiasco. Perhaps the directors
of the chartered company shook their
money bags too close to the ears of
this young Bonaparte of peaceful ac-
QUESTION. Perhaps some hint of peer
age did the Macbeth act with him. At
any rate all subsequent history in South
Africa finds it's Great Divide in that one
change which took place in the plans
of Cecil Rhodes when he made that
fatal visit to England and talked shop
one day with Flora Shaw.
When Rhodes went back to the CAPE.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-09-03

and to talk up his Cape to Cairo scheme,
he had certain other things up his
sleeve.
But in London something happened.
One day young lady called on Cecil
Rhodes. She was a very girlish and
suave and demure person, was this
same young lady, but she has been
called the stormy petrol of the British
colonial office. This young lady was
Miss Flora Shaw. She was the colonial
editor of the London Times, the "angel
of the empire builders" and she knew
SO much about the business of the colo
NAL office that Joseph Chamberlain was
in the habit of going to her for adj
vice, and the under secretaries were
more or less afraid of her. Miss Shaw
had studied the South African situation
for some time so when she sat down
and began to talk to Rhodes of his pet
schsmes with familiarity that was at
least astounding that gentleman open
ed his eyes. Now, the mapmaker of
South Africa is a bachelor, and if not
quite woman hater he has no corner
in his scheme of life for sympathy or
counsel from young lady, at least
never before this fateful meeting had
he been known to seek female assist
ance or sympathy in his work. Before
this, it is said, he would not confide
even in his own sister. But in the case
of Flora Shaw it was different. She
was a person to make use Of. She be-
came his London press agent on the
spot and later his lobbyist with the
imperial authorities. This charming
melange of journalism, femininity and
was the go-between from
Rhodes to Secretary Chamberlain for
many months, and, as the parliament
tary inquiry after the Jameson raid
brought out, she had firmer hand on
the control of South African events

greatest gold producing country in the
world. But the mining industry, on the
other hand, is practically the only profit
yielding business in the Transvaal.
Gold mining, speaking broadly, consti-
tutes nine-tenths of the available ma
tional assets of the government of that
republic. The natural industries in
fact yield the Beers only the barest
maintenance, and, when taken alone,
leave them scarcely enough to meet the
fixed land taxes under which all real
estate is held in that republic. To pre-
pare for the increased expenses of gov
eminent Kruger has justly and nee
essariiy levied upon the profits accru-
ing from that industry which brought
about the more costly conditions of life
and government.
The mining of precious metals alone,
it is we'll known, does not do much to-
ward permanently developing a coun-
try. Although some of the Rand mines
are paying dividends as high as so, 100,
and even 200 per cent on their original
capitalizations as declared by the COM
panes, this, as a rule, may be taken
as five times the actual cash put in
each case into "the development of the
country" about which so much has
been sung by the Anglo-Saxon agitator.
Four ffths of this wealth, accordingly,
being franchise values, is most equita-
bly, subject to a proportionate share in
bearing the burdens Of the republics
government.
Put the indomitable and irrepressihle
Cecil Rhodes, in spite of this showing,
has declared, and still declares, that
the exorbitant taxes of the Kruger adj
ministration are circumscrbing and
even destroying the entire industry of
mining in the country. But Mr.. Rhodes
always forgets to mention that in a
single year he and Mr.. Rudd each re-

secure their expected Official plums.
These English borns young aspirants
for official holdings came flocking back
from the best schools of England and
the continent only to2find Rhodes shorn
of his last shred of available patronage,
Discomfort was the result. But discon-
tent was just what Rhodes wanted.
They would look to him for relief. He
would be a second Moses in a South
African desert. Though Kruger was
politically immune, Rhodes saw that he
could nevertheless stick a financial dag
ger into the ribs of the unsophisticated
and bucolic old Boer, so he became the
master mind in the foreign development
of the Transvaal goldfields idea and the
practical dictator of all of South Africa.
Had he stuck to the rules of the
game Rhodes might have won. But to
stick to rules was never the principle
of the gentle Cecil. Instead of clinging
to the cry of africa for the Afri-
kanders" and overthrowing the Kruger
oligarchy by the aid of legitimate
Transvaal discomfort, Rhodes chose a
crooked path having another end. Some
say the hope of an English peerage in
toxicated him. Some say he merely bit
off more than he could chew. At any
rate, between the years 1887 and 1892
several changes crept over South Afri-
can politics. Disconnected spectators
swarmed like bees over the golden hives
Of the Rand. The name of Kruger was
not honey in the mouth Of the AfIi-
kander of Cape Colony. Rhodes, with
the chartered company behind him and
a big London bank account to draw on,
was able to foment3a, delightfully."- salts
factory amount of unrest in the Trans
vaal. Kruger was puzzled. Under the
evil counsels of Dr.S Leyds the president
had been led to ally himself to num-
