Labouchere Condemns the War.

Henry Labouchere, NJ. p, publishes
reasons opposing the Transvaal war: What
are We really fighting for? Certainly not
for the Uitlanders or their grievances, for the
majority of them are mere spectators,
hoping to make money by the reduction of
taxation on the mines and the ups and
downs of the Stock exchange. The real
workers in the Transvaal have shown their
desire to be allowed to continue to earn
large wages.
''Is it to extingulsh a conspiracy of our
own colonists of Dutch origin and Beers of
the two republics to drive the Anglo Saxon
out of South Africa? Such a conspiracy is
a piece of the widest Imagination; para
mount as we are no war is needed to es-
tablish our pre- -eminence.
''Is 1t to secure to Uitlanders vote after
five years residence in the country? Presi-
dent Kruger offered 1t.
That Mr.. Rhodes, reckless adventurer in
the past, possessed with a lust for power
and in part lust for gold, should seek to
create a situation by means Of which he
may crafty these two lusts can be under
stood, but why should an English minister
be possessed with desire to drag US into
an unjust and impolitic war? / can only
account for 1t by the fact of Chamberlain
personal antagonism to Kruger having got
the better Of him, his restless ambition for
attracting attention to himself and the
exigencies of his peculiar position as an ex
radical in tory government. Should he be
allowed from these motives to convert South
Africa into a battlefield. TO create a race
antagonism the embers OF which he himself
admits will last for generations and cause
deaths innumerable of British soldiers and
Boer farmers? Glad indeed am that the
liberal party by vote of the majority Of
its representatives in Parliament refused
to accept any share OF the responsibility
for the war now. alas, raging

Congressman Mercer was seen Saturday
night in regard to the above and said:
Well this matter was broached some
time ago but from information / am able
to gather l think the Minnesota delegation
will hardly be able to succeed in the at
tempt Tho fact that North Dakota is closely
connected with Minnesota by reason of her
railway facilities should not overbalance the
fact that South Dakota is as closely con-
nected with Nebraska in the same way. All
states arc ambitious to get all they can, and
this is simply an ambition on the part OF
Minnesota to gain all the prestige possible.
To tell you the truth, do not think there
Ia much In II and 1t will simply mean
contest between the different congressional
delegations. If the Minnesota delegation
should obtain the support OF those from both
the Dakotas, then there might be some show
OF success. but until they do, there Is not
much danger There might be such thing
as split, and North Dakota might be taken
into the Minnesota district and South Da-
kota remain where 1t is.
'The district in which Nebraska is stu-
ated Is a very important one and the rev.
enues from 1t have been increasing rapidly
in the last year or so. ] am not familiar
with the Minnesota district, but am inclined
to think the Nebraska district exceeds it in
