The gentlemen are unnecessarily
agitated, As Napoleon once said, all
this world is destined to speak Russian
or English some day, and our present
game is to let England snglicize as
much OF 1t as possible at her own ex-

take 1t away from her.
The collapse of the Transvsal is
good thing for the party. If the Beers
had put up reasonably good fight it
would have been doughnuts for the
democrats because all the world likes
q good fighter and our friends of the
opposition would have prodded US for
our failure to do anything to help brave
and suffering virtue. True, we could
not do anything If we wanted to, but

all the world will initiate our naval

the case after a successful war. For q
ourselves. While Mr.. Napoleon was
ambling Europe we mimicked
French uniforms. After Waterloo We

wore off after q bit and we began to
take hints in clothing from all over

When our great civil war broke
out, our troops at first were imitation

Russian coseacks, British highland

the way we came out at the end. The
