Doesn't Admire the Beers.

W. Z. Park, of Boston, who has been
engaged In mining in South Africa Tor
four years, has come home full OF oon'
tempt for the Beers and in full SYM
pathy with the British. When he first
went to Africa, Mr.. Park says ne felt
the Beers were badly treated, but four
years residence among them caused
him to change his mind. In an inter-
view, Mr.. Park said:
1.-THE only Beers with whom have
any sympathy are the real Beers. They
are a farming population, brawny
muscular, dirty, ignorant and degen'
crate, and they fight simplyAecause the
leaders have told them that IL they
don't fight the English will drive them
in the sea, anyway. You could not
fiud enough educated Beers to form q
government. Hence they naturally turn
to their next Of kin, the Holland Dutch,
who form largely the office'holding
population. These bring nothing into
the country, they start on enterprises,
but fill their pockets with corruption
money, and get home as soon as they
can. To fill their pockets the Out'
landers, the English, Americans French
and Germans, are taxed heavily.
1.-The Beers are good marksmen. but
their armies with few exceptions. are
commanded by Germans and Austrians.
They have been preparing for the wal
for several years. TO my knowledge
arms and ammunition have been com
ing into the country in trainloads FOL
four years. The troubles that brought
on the war were started by set Of sgi
tators who have been stirring up raoia
feeling. Hoffmeyer. of the Afrikandel
Bund, and Schreiner. in Cape Colony
have been the most active workers II
this direction. They have had helper
and abettors all over the country. 81
that for England, Ii is now not only
question Of the Dutch, but question o.
treason In her own country"
