AUSTRALIAN SENTIMENT,


A special correspondent Of the Chi
cago Record gives the substance Of a
statement made by Mr. Walter Grit
dths a member Of the South Australian
parliament who at preseat Is IN Lon
don IA the interest Of the Australian
federation
The Australians recently agreed on a
plan Tor commonwealth similar to
that OF Canada. but the British govern
ment is now seeking 10 retain control
over Australian affairs. By providing
Tor the supremacy OF the prlvy council
over the supreme court OF Australia
and Mr. Grmths expressed his em-
phauc condemnation Of this effort on
the part Of the British government
The substance Of his remarks was
that the Australians are not IN a mood
to tolerate any trining at the hands Of
Downing street or Westminster They
do not intend 20 permit their constltu-
tion 20 cast any reflection on the judi
cial capablllty Of the colonies. They are
loyal but thelr loyalty must be volun-
tary Any suggestion OF compulslon
would estrange the people from the emf
pire and result IN q United states OF
Australia republic modelled on Amer
lean lines. His concluding remarks were
TO the effect that the Australians cam
not permanently Intervene their fate
with that OF England They love the
country and win do whatever Is rea-
sonable TO defend IL, but their national
position and resources are such that
they must decline 10 take any step that
shall deprive them Of liberty Of action
ln any particular emergency that may
arise.
We do not know how far Mr.. Grdlths
speaks the sentiment OF his country
men but his official position would Jus
tify the conclusion that he speaks for
a large part Of the people he represents,
And II so. It is evident that the adhe-
sion Of some OF the British colonies 10

THE CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.

Among the remarkable events OF the
present year are the labor agitations,
breaking out into strikes and deeds Of
violence OF course these are nothing
new IN recent history. Labor troubles
have afflicted the country Tor many
years. and there Is seldom any length
OF time when they DO not disturb So
ciety. But It Is somewhat strange that
they should be so prevalent, when the
whole land resounds with boasts OF gem
erul prosperity.
We think Il must be conceded by the
most pessimistic, that trade and COM
merce. business ana manufactures. agri-
culture and stocR-raislHg. aud the var
ious branches OF human industry, are
alive and prospecting IN large degree.
The causes OF this Improvement we 90

AT wEPENER.

SO far there Is no confirmation OF the
Capetown rumor that General Brabant
had gained a decisive victory over the
Beers az Wepener There Is a good
deal Of interest attached TO the mill
tary operations IN that vicinity, and no
doubt both sides viii do an in their
power 20 carry the situation there.
The reason for the special interest IN
the operations near WeDener, along
the boundary between the orange Free
state and Basutoland IS, that Il Is be-
lieved the Basutos are watching the
struggle and may rise In arms. Il the
English suffer a reverse.
These Africans are not regarded as
a specially fierce or warlike race. but
they love independence. The Basutos
engaged the Beers IN war over thirty
years ago. The British then interfered.
and the Africans were placed under the
Cape Colony government. and were pro-
hiblted from carrying arms. They had
10 be subjuguted then. az the cost of
millions OF dollars. Basutoland now be-
longs to Great Britain. But the Basu.
tos ere not especially loyal They
would IN an probability rise against
any foreign power. and q is feared that
British defeat az Wepener might pre-
cipltate an insurrecuon. That would
certainly add 20 the difficulties OF the
African situation.
AZ the same time It Is not forgotten
that ever since the outbreak Of the war
predictions have been made about
general rising among the Afrikanders.

Africans. but so Tar these predictions

There IS said TO be a growing belief
among the high officers In the Philip

lenience and kindness. The only pun
