THE TRANSVAAL..
COPIED from the Rocky Mountain Christian
Advocate, of Sept 20, 1sla.l

| GCopied from the Rocky Mountain Christian
Advocate, of Sept. 20, 1s9a.
War is inevitable in the Trans
vaal. 1t would not be surprising
at any instant to hear of the open
ing of hostilities. The Beers are os-
tensibly quiet, but the excitement
is all the more intense. They are
ready to die. All persons unfavor-
able to their cause are leaving the
country. On the other hand, Her
Majesty's government have put
forth their ultimatum. In the
language of the London Times, it
is now "Yes" or mo" with the
Beers. Diplomacy has reached
the limit. Either England or the
Beers must back down. 1t will
not be England; it will not be the
Beers. War is inevitable.
The crux of the matter is this:
On Tuesday, September 5, one Mr..
Coester, mem ber of the raad, the
Boer parliament, made the state
ment that England was using the
franchise question, which we will
explGin, as the casus belli, while
she really wants supremacy, which
the Transvaal will never accept"
The London Times of Septem Der
8, asserts it: the franchise matter
is Subordinate; English suprema-
cy" sis, and always has been the
kernel of the whole South African
policy. To deny or to impugn
that is to create a casus belli We
seek not to hide our claim on this
point. We make it openly and we
openly declare ourselves ready to
uphold it against all comers.'
Can anything be more plain?
The London Times, representing
the heart and the intentions of
England, plainly, explicitly an
nounces that England intends to
be the supreme power in the Tran
vaal. The Boer position, on the
other hand, as stated by Secretary
of State, Mr., Reitz, in May last, is
that the right of absolute self
government simply and solely fol-
lows from the inherent right of
this republic as n sovereign inter
national state" This position the
English commissioner declared to
be a defiance of Her Majesty's
government" That is the battle
line. Is the Transvaal republic a
dependency of England or is it
independent of England? That,
as the London Times says, must
now be answered "Yes" or NO."
by the Beers, and on that answer
will depend the question of war

GRATIFYING CONDITIONS.

The following is an estimate of
the September output of ore from
the Cripple Creek district, of the
benefits of which Florence enjoys
a large share:
Colorado philadelphia, 8 800 tons
having a total value of 1927 800;
Arequa, 1000 tons, value $4,000;
National at Florence, $50 tons,
value $52,5O0; Ell Paso, Florence,
1000 tons, value SIPS, 5000; Metal
lie, Florence, $500 tons, value
Sl7O,000; smelling ore, / 900 tons,
valued at Sl,023,000. Miscellane-
Gus ore was also treated valued at
$4,000, making total of S1.73l,-
600.
A Cripple Creek report, however,
says the figures of production for
September do not fully represent
the actual amount of ore which
was mined during that month.
Considerable of the Septem Der ore
product was unable to find a mar
ket, the cause being that the mills
and smelters were not prepared to
treat all the mineral that was of
fered them from the mines Of the
state and the railways of this dis
trict were not quite equal to the
work of transporting the ore. The
months output is still stored in
the bins of number of mines in
the district
1t is expected that before the
m >nth of October is ended that at
least one or two more mills will be
in operation, so that at farthest by
the first of the year the entire out
put can be treated as fast as it is
produced. When the large per
cent. of the full product which is
treated by Florence mills is con
siiered the report cannot fail to
be very gratifying to our people.
1t is not alone to the oil and coal
in lustries that Florence is indebt-
ed for her prosperity, but the min
ing industry adds much to our f.
naucial growth and development.
The reduction of Cripple Creek
ORES by our mills is large source
of revenue to our merchants, these
institutions aifording employment
to many of our people. 1t is for
this reason that the prospective
mill is hailed with delight. Flor
ence is the natural location for
these industries and additional
mills are no more than the people
have right to expect,
Cheap fuel, cheap building ma
terial, unsurpassed railroad facili-
ties and splendid climatic condi-
tions are some of the advantages
that place Florence in the foremost
rank of competitive cities for new
industries. And because of these
the time is not far distant when
Florence will be a city. Aside
from these natural conditions,
however, the citizens of Florence
mu It do their part. They have
duty to perform that should not,
for an instant, be lost sight of. 1t
is nn imperative duty that is COM
mon to all who make Florence their
home. Pull for Florence and pull
together. Such action will win.

THE EMANCIPATION

The natural sequence was the
Emancipation Act, in itself un-
doubtedly meritorious, but in its
execution the reverse. 1t ordered
that all slaves should be liberated,
and that the farmers should be
compensated, but the sum voted
was so ridiculously inadequate that
each slave-owner would only have
been able to obtain half the value
of his slaves. But even that would
have been allowed to pass had the
British government not enacted
that all slave-owners must claim
their compensation in England.
The result is history compen-
sation money fell mostly into the
hands of Jews, who came out to
the Cape and bought up the claims
from the farmers. From pros
porous people the emigrants were
by simple act of parliament re-
duced almost to want.

TIE RoER POSITION.

Mr.. Percy c. Marais Rex of the
Transvaal Civil Service, Pretoria,
has made this graphic statement
of the causes of the Boer hatred
of English domination. We quote
from his article in the Independ-
ent: "In JANUARY of the year lS06
the Cape colony for second time
became a possession of the Eng
lish nation. How they made them
selves masters of it, and how they
forced Holland to relinquish all
claim TO it, is beside the question; !;
suffice il to say that the Cape came
into their hands without the wishes
of the inhabitants having been
consulted in the slightest degree,
those inhabitants being, with few
exceptions, either Dutch or French
settlers with their families. Dis
content and trouble seem to have
visited the people of the Cape from
the time of the second British oc-
cnNotian

THE MISSIONARIES

"The causes for the discomfort
were numerous. First came the
charges of the British missionaries
that it was customory with the
Dutch settlers to perpetrate the
most dastardly cruelties on their
black slaves and on the blacks gen
orally. Such was undoubtedly not
not the case, as any student CT
Theal will be we'll aware. How
ever, the Exeter Hall people had
such influence in England that il
came to be generally believed that
the blacks in the colony were most
cruelty ill-treated by our forefath-
ers. This belief engendered pity
for the blacks in the hearts of the
English, and from pity they went
further and always sided with a
black in any dispute which occur
red between him and his Dutch
master.
