ncve that the Doors will keen up n run
Ming war as they did last time. for the
reason that this would mean the abandon
ment OF Pretoria and OF The forts at Pre-
ioria and Johannesburg.
But, even IL the Doors should determine
10 play a waiting game and to conduct
running war the Spectator does not think
that Il would DC successful 1t points out
that in the old war practically all the
people Of the Transvaal were against the
British. now the majority are on the side
OF the British and would welcome the
British as dolivorcrs. For example" f.

10 occupy Pretoria and Johannesburg, and
10 rely upon dilatory tactics. we should
find ourselves az once welcomed and
strengthened by a great friendly poDula-
ton. which we should at once proceed to
arm and organize"
For this and other reasons. which we
need not here state. the Spectator thinks
that the British would make short work
OF the Doors and bring the war 10 a speedy
close. Il also serves notice upon the Beers
that If they "insst upon war" they viii
brig their doom upon their own heads.
"V-hcn once We are engaged" it con
oludos. "the struggle viii be fought out
TO the bitter end even if tho whole Of
South Africa becomes involved. and we
have the whole Dutch population ranged
against the British. That is an event ter
rible in the extreme TO contemplate. but
even that would DE faced rather than an
other act OF feeblcness"
We doubt not that the Spectator in this
expresses the sentiment Of the British Deo-
pie and forecasts the policy Of the British
government. Great Britain has had much
trouble from time 70 time with the Beers
and If she is provoked into n fight. She
wiz not hold up until she shah have set
