The Finley Golden Slope has changed
its name to the Finley Beacon. But,
In order to raise no questions as to the
legal status of the paper in the matter
of public printing, an edition of the
Golden Slope will also be published for
six months. The paper is a good one,
by whatever name it may be called.
But there must be some people of a
hair-splitting turn Of mind up in
Steele county. If boy should have
his name changed after he was few
years old, he'd undoubtedly be the
same boy. And why wouldn't the Bea-
con be the same newspaper, if it was
published as an announced continu-
ance of the Golden Slope, and was is
sued by the same publisher?

time until adventures began pouring

time until adventures began pouring
in, and soon the numbers Of the immi-
grants were greater than the numbers
of the Beers. The latter then saw
that, if the newcomers were given nat
uralization after Short residence,
they would soon have absolute polit-
ical power, and as the majority of them
owed allegiance to the British flag.
they could with the ballot soon put
the country into the powerlof Britain.
Moderate restrictive measures along
the lines Of longer residence as a quail
fcation for the franclliseswere then
formulated, and the breach between
the Beers and the eforeigners-o "Uit-
landers," as they were termed by
the Boers-began to widen. The ILL
feeling grew until, nearly.a score Of
years ago, a war occurred between the
British and the Beers, the British
forces being badly defeated at Majuba
Hill and at other places. The wise
and just Gladstone, then premier Of
England, did not desire the snbjugation
Of the Beers, and he made peace with
the Transvaal.
AS years passed large citysknown
as Johannesburg;wa built IN the
Transvaal mining region, an over
whelming portion Of it's population be-
ing uitlanders Tor outlanders). At
times there was considerable agitation
among the foreigners for an easier pro-
curement of the franchise; but .Presi.
dent Kruger and thes Beers claimed
that the gold-seekers were but tran
sient population, that most of them
had no intention of settling down in
the Transvaal; that the very existence
of his people as a nation required the
use of restrictive measures, and that
the citizens Of country had a right to
prescribe the political qualification OF
people who came to settle among
them. Finally British subject named
jameson organized party of. raiders,
mostly at johannesburg, and they took
the field against the Transvaal govern.
ment. The Beers made short work OF
them, killing a good many and taking
the rest prisoners. Some of the leaders
were condemned to death, but the
whole outfit were afterward pardoned
by President Kruger.
AS there was no overt act on the
part Of the Beers, it is hard for an un-
prcjudiced person to understand what
fair and just reason the British gov
ernment had to make demands upon
them that either required them to
turn over their country to the uitland-
ers or go to war. The people of the
Transvaal declared war, and their
cause was taken upby their kinsmen
of the Orange Free State. The Beers
have done just what the people Of this
country did in the days Of '76, and
thay seem to have almost the unani-
nous sympathy Of the neutral peoples
Of the civilized world. They are maxi
ing brave fight, and are carrying out
the prophetic words OF President Kru-
ger at the beginning OF the war: 1.-THE
republics are determined that, If they
must belong to England, a price will
have to be paid that win stagger hui
manity." ,:5s;fs: g

CHAMBERLAIN TAKES BLAME.
Tries to Justify His Course In the
House Of Commons.

London, Feb. SIN the house OF COM
mons today, replying to a question, the
secretary of state for the colonies, Jo-
seph Chamberlain. admitted that a
critical stage Of the war had been
reached and tIat the situation was
undoubtedly serious, though, he added.
ne did not believe the country was in
danger. If the preparation for war
had been insufficient, he said, it was
wholly due to the fact that the govern
ment was determined 10 do everything
to secure peace and to do nothing to
endanger it.
Mr. Chamberlain further declared
that the war was just. necessary and
righteous. He regretted the proposed
amendment to the address, because, he
said. it would throw doubt upon the
unitedness of the kingdom.
I'VE have suffered checks" said Mr..
Chamberlain, and have made mis-
takes. I am not anxious to dispute as
to the blame. Let the government bear
the brUnt when the time comes, when.
under happier auspices, we can see how
far the blame is to be appOruOned be-
tween the system and those admins
tering it. In the meantime, blame US.
What is now urgent is to redress
those checks and to repair mistakes
You say we have sent too few troops.
but we are pouring them into South
Africa In a few weeks we viii have
100000 men there. We will have as
many mounted men as there are

eminent, there viii be no second Ma

but himself,

had been at the colonial Office there
would have been no war;
At this point Mr.. Chamberlain inter
posed. reiterating that since the jane

ton with Mr.. Rhodes on political at
fairs in South Africa, either direct or

Mr.. Courtney explained that he had
not meant to imply this. After fur
