THE cCHcLuDlSe cX0RUS.

The flight of Paul Kruger from. Pre-
toria practically ends the war In the
Transvaal. and marks the downfall of the
Boer republic. While the threat of guer-
lila warfare may be carried out 1t will
signify little to the future of the cause
for which the Beers have fought. Brit
ish occupancy of the Transvaal capital
will doubtless be followed by q declara-
South Africa securely in the hands Of
the English. Guerilla warfare will serve
no purpose other than to injureot the Pros
poets of the Beers in the tinalstermA of
peace.
American interest in the wal chiefly
centers in the prospect of it's early dfsap-
pearance as a political issue inathis coun-
try. Long before the Forthcoming tohi-
teal campaign shall have ended it is like
ly that all the problems having amin
portant bearing on the South African sit
uation will have been settled in a manner
| satisfactory to the world, apd to- the
credit of. Great Britain. Matters will be
so adjusted that business enterprises will
resume their activity in that quarter of
the globe, under regulations that will
greatly promote the growth and pros
| perity of that section of the country. m
migration will be stimulated, new in
ducements offered to the investor, and
the glow of health will tighten up he
barren hills of the mineral Golcondas of
the Dark Continent. s4- .s
Under such conditions, prophetic of a
course pursued by Kruger will undergo a
decided change, and the world will learn
to respect the destiny which decreed an
era of progress for South Africa under
the folds of the British flag. American
sympathy for the Beers, based largely on
ignorance of the real causes leading up
to the war, and to natural prejudices
against England and it's undertakings
and in part to the foolish and unwise agi-
tation on the part of political dema-
gogues who hoped to turn a foreign war
to partisan ~account-wiN disappear with
the conclusions of the contest, and a
wholesome respect for the factors of pro-
gress and civilization which the British
government will introduce into the
Transvaal will take it's placed 81

TIE BUIi DiHC OF BLUE LAWS.

1t was not until the sentiment of the
American people broadened out INTO a
more complete appreciation of what per-
sonal liberty means, that the blue laws
which once disgraced New England were
repealed. The obnoxious regulations
which by force attempted to govern the
consciences of men were inconsistent with
the present ideas of the inherent rights
of the individual. 1t was a long step to-
ward national growth when religious and
civil liberty Joined hands in the upward
path of a great people.
An attempt to reintroduce legislation
bearing on the personal rights of the
citizen in matters of belief or conscience,
would be frowned down with all the
Indignation which modern intelligence
could command. Yet by a sort of heredi-
tary descent from one narrow-minded set
of individuals to another, century after
century, efforts to regulate the opinions
of men by law will doubtless be con-
tinued till the crack of doom. While such
eIIOfLS VIII not De IOleTdIeu III RELIGIOUS
matters, per Sc, for the simple reason
that too large a percentage of the people
would have their corns rodden upon n
rise up against them, they endeavor to
make themselves felt in other directions.
The desire to regulate somebody else,
and shape his conduct along some other
Hina throuoh the inStrumenta1itv of force.
is so strong in minds that are too small
to attend to their own business alone, that
it is not at all surprising that lawsagainst
the personal liberty of the individual oc-
