British supremacy throughout South Africa and
suzeranty over the Transvaal A concession OF the
privileges demanded by the Uitlanders would not,
therefore, end the claims made upon the Beers he
British demand OF them the virtual surrender OF sell
government. Their republic is to cease TO be lnde-
pendent and to pass formally under the protectorate
OF Great Britain.
The claim of suzerainty on the part of the British
is a one, and at one time was to some extent
conceded by the Beers, who did not then foresee
what would result They now perceive that from
suzeranty to sovereignty will be but short step and
that if the right OF the British Government to inter
fere in the local affairs OF the Transvaal for the pur
pose OF redressing complaints made by Uitanders
against the republic be conceded it will not be very
long before there will be no great difference between
the condition of the Transvaa and that of Egypt.
The Salisbury Government does not expect these
claims to be conceded willingly. The dispatch OF
troops to South Africa goes brsky on. From Mr.
Chamberains statement that the issues "a source
OF danger to the whole of South Africa it appears
the Ministry fears a general uprising under the lead
OF the Beers which would involve even Cape Colony
itself. 1t is in that light, any rate, he presents the
issue Parliament the British public and to the
world 1t is essentially frank statement that Great
Britain is fighting for empire in Africa and the Beers
must surrender their independence or maintain it
against all the power the British can bring against
them.

curse to the American people, and they
were barred out by stringent laws against
their immigration. And why would lhey
prove to be a curse?
Not particularly because they are i'm
moral, for in certain forms OF moraHly;
notably in their industrious habits ana
their temperate use of intoXicants, the
Chinese are superior to the whites. NoI
particularly because they were supplant-
ing the labor of our own people py SUD
stftuting cheaper labor, for European I'M
migrants had been doing that for a GEN.
tury. The real reason at the basis OF an
opposition to Chinese Immigration Is ING
fact that they are divergent variety; IL
not yet distinct species, of human pe
ings, with whom we instinctlvely reIuSe
to intermarry, although, alas for human
frailty, the antipathy is not sufhclent!y
general to prevent the occasional appear
ance of the inevitable mongrel.
Had the Chinese been of our own race
their appearance in America would Hol
have been more objectionable than the
immigration of millions of Europeans,
for lower wages than our population, aiq 1
satisfied at first with a lower standafd
casians they would have soon adopted
our customs and ideas. changed their
standard of living as Europeans nave
done. demanded and received oetIeF
wages. and thus ceased to be the rat
like competitors of whom we have justly
complained In the absence of racial as
tinctions their union by intermarrlage
with our people would have permitted
their children to become absorbed ac-
ceptably into the great composite associd5
tton termed the American people ana
there would have been no Chinese ques-
ton
As it was, however. the inevitable war
of races had already commenced on the
Pacific Coast in the boycotts ana riots
when immigration was fortunately re-
stricted. The condition proved that race
wars belong not alone to the South, but
occur whenever two antagonistic races
are brought together. The people of the
North were never more moral than those
of the South They were merely fortunate
in escaping contact with a divergent race
The people of the East, who at one time
blamed the Western people for antago, ago
nism to the Chinese, were no better than
we are or were They merely did not
and perhaps do not now. comprehend the
entire significance of race contact. our
people escaped the final calamites of as
sociation with the Chinese. but they ex-
perienced enough to understand that
mixture of the white with the yellow race
would result quite as disastrous to both
as contact between the white and the
black 1t remains now to consider con-
tact with the brown race.

goody addition has been made to the volun-
teers reception fund which is now approaching the
$4,000 mark Assurances are given OF aid from other
sources that will add another noble to the fund
Hall OF the $4,000 asked for by the reception COM
nlittee is therefore virtually in sight For the re
naming half let the people respond. There are GER
tainlv 25ooo men and women in San Francisco who
will take pleasure in contributing average OF a
dollar each for the purpose ofswelcoming the boys
home and assisting them obtain employment.
Whatever is to be given should be given promptly.
There is no time to lose. The transport bearing the
volunteers is we'll on her way the sea and will
be here within time comparatively short. The en-
tire sum asked for should be in the hands OF the
nlittee before the close of the coming week Under
such circumstances to delay in giving will be almost
as bad as not to give at all The emergency calls for
promptness as we'll for liberality He gives twice
who gives quickly, says the old proverb and never
was that ancient wisdom applicable than at this
time.
1t is to be borne in mind the money is not to be
expended wholly in parades and festivals. 1t is the
intention OF the committee assist the boys in find
ing employment after they mustered out, and 4
considerable portion OF the fund will also be required

return from the war A moments consideration will
show that the sum asked for is none too large for
the purpose in view It is certainly none too large for
city of the wealth and population OF San Francisco.
Every citizen is expected to contribute to the fund.
The boys are coming. The time is short. Let the
response of the people be prompt

BRITISH POLICY IN THE TRANSVAAL

0NE advantage to the public of the British sys-
| tenn of government by Ministry responsible
- to Parliament is that it enables the opposition
party to demand explanation of the policy Of the
Government upon any issue before the country, and
thus furnish the people with fair understanding of
what the Ministers purpose to do. In accord with
this privilege Mr.. T. P O'Connor has asked Joseph
Chamberlain Secretary of the Colonies what course
the Salisbury Government has decided upon in deal
ing with the Transvaa, and the reply has made it
clear that if the crisis in South Africa pass away with
out war it will be due more to the diplomacy and
the courage OF the Beers than to any moderation on
the part OF the British.
Mr.. Chamberlain is quoted as saying in the course
of his reply: 1--WE recognize the grievances of the
Utanders and have said that these grievances are not
merely themselves serious cause for nterposition
but are a source of danger to the whole of South
Africa. We say our predominance is menaced by the
action of the Ttansvaa in refusing to redress the
grievances or give consideration requests hitherto
put in the most moderate language of suzerai;l
power We say that this state of things cannot be
tolerated. We have put our hands to the plow and
won't draw back. With that statement | propose tc
rest content
From that statement it appears the object of the
British Ministry is much to redress the alleged
wrongs complained of by the Uitanders as to assert

MUSIC HND PATRIOTISM.

I INDER any circumstances the famous Arion
| Society of New York would be welcome to
- San Francisco. We are a music-oving peo-
pie a social, hospitabe, genial people, and all who
come to us in the goodfellowshp OF music find cor
dial welcome. The Arions, however, have promised
to provide an entertainment for the benefit Of the
volunteers reception fund, and in that way have
doubled their welcome They are with us in the
sympathies of patriotism well of music, and
their songs will awaken responsive chorus even
from those to whom nature has denied the gift of
melody.
The Arons of San Francisco with their allied Ger
man vereins and singing clubs could be relied upon
to fitly welcome and entertain their fellow Arions
from the East but that pleasant duty will not be left
wholly to them. By their ready agreement to join
with in the popular preparations for the recep-
ton Of volunteers the visitors have made them
selves the guests OF the whole city. San Francisco
welcomes them in patriotism we'll as in harmony.
While they stay with city is theirs and Il
being smaller than their own town Of Greater New
York it should not furnish enough to fill all their
vast capacities for JOY, they may take the State All
California is theirs.
