The Only Wonder.

The only wonder is why, if Presi-
dent Kruger is resolved upon fighting,
he has waited so long. The explanation
seems to be that his hand has been
forced by the fact that the Beers have
got out of control, or that, if he awaited
the arrival of the British army corps,
the chances of military success for him
would be of the slimmest possible char
acter.
