and firm. and as he proceeded there
were several interruptions OF applause.

Shall we Sympathize with the Boersp

Instinctively we would like to and
seemingly there are reasons why we
should. But will they bear investiga.
ton? 1t is human nature to sympathize
with the weaker party in struggle, but
back of this is the question which party
is right? We do not sympathize with a
burglar resisting the police nor brgands
contending with soldiers. In our late
rebellion the South was the weaker party
and for this reason many Englishmen
and Europeans sympathized with them;
but they were not in the right. Again
the Beers are religious. They have bibles
in their homes, and on the field of battle
they fall on their knees and give God
thanks for victory. But this does not
prove them to be in the right. The Span
iards are religious. The Christian people
of the South fully believed they were in
the right and devoutly prayed for success
and gave thanks to God for victories.
God heard their prayers and sent them
defeat which was the greatest blessing
that could have happened to them. 1t
may be the same with the Beers. Again
the Boer government is professed Re-
public and we cannot help sympathizing
with Republic. But is the Transvaal
government really a Republic? The
Beers are century behind the times.
1t is medieval government trying to
rule nineteenth century people. A Re-
public should be a government admins
tration for the benefit of all the people.
The Beers only are allowed to vote. The
Uitlanders and English, though more
numerous, are heavily taxed without the
sacred right Of representation. They
pay nine-tenths of the taxes and revenue.
yet are not allowed a part in the govern
ment, not even in the municipal govern
ment OF their own city, Johannesburgh.
They are not allowed to carry arms,
while the Beers ostentatiouslv carry
them. The English language is excluded
from the schools, the courts and egisla-
ture; bribery is common; officers sud.
denly become rich; President Kruger,
though poor twenty years ago, is now

were seated between two rival dele
cations from that state in the gallery
and tried to listen to the debate,
with the practical remarks from
those friends in the gallery thrown
in. Senator Hoar thought little
value could be attached to the past
precedents in this case. He said one
vote had changed the whole policy of
the country and twice one vote had
elected the chief magistrate in the
commonwealth. Mr.. Elkins of West
Virginia regarded it as simply a
question of law and personality had
little to do with the case. He
thought the language of the consti-
tuition clear and the Senate should
go forward and do its duty by seat.
