acteristic, for he said: 'Stop holding

willful perversion of the truth. The
defenceless people who are clamoring
for a redress of grievances are doing so
st great personal risk. 1t Ia notorious
that many capitalists regard political
agitation with disfavor because of it's
effect on markets. 1t is equally motor
ious that the lowest class of Uitlsnders,
and especially the Illicit liquor dealers,
have no sympathy whatever with the
cause of reform. Moreover, there are
in all classes considerable number
who only want to make money and
clear out, and who, while possibly
sympathizing with reform, feel no

BRITISH SIDE
OF THE WAR
Grievance Of British Subjects
In The Transvaal
PART OF THE SPEECH
On the Recent Address To the
Throne Before the House OF
Commons.

l will deal, first, with the grievance
of the Uitlanders. Some people seem
to believe that the only grievance was
that connected with the franchise.
they may derive food for reelection from
the following:
In regard to numbers, the Uitlauders
represent between one half and three
fourths of the population of the
Trsnsvaal, and altho they pay from
five-sixths to nine-tenths of the taxation
of the country, they have no share in
the government With regard to this
question OF taxation, we may point out
that it has been laid down in the Blue
Book that the taxation paid by the
Uitlsnders is more than $50 per head,
"a burden proba bly, unparalleled in any
other country and about 80 per cent,
of the Uitlanders are British sub
jects.
With regard to freedom of the press,
such thing does not exist in the
Transvaal. According to the press
law of 1896, read in connection with
the amending law of 1898, the pres
ident of the South Africa republic can.
on the advice and with the consent of
he executive, forbid the circulation
of printed matter entirely, or for q
time, at his discretion, and it is with
in his power to prohibit the circula-
tion of any newspaper he chooses.
This power has been exercised more
than once. Open-air meetings can on
ly be held with the sanction of the
government, and indoor meetings can
be broken by order of the police in
terms of the law.
Next, there is grievance which
raises the question of religious equal
ity. Under the constitution OF the
Transvaal, no Roman Catholic can
ever be admitted to be president, or a
member of the executive council, or a
member of either of the raads. This
law for the exclusion of Roman Catho-
lies applies to officials as well. 1t is
true some people give another inter-
probation to that, but [ believe it is a
fact that no Roman Catholics are ap-
pointed as officials in the Transvaal.
1t is admitted by the inquiries which
have been conducted by the Transvaal
government, that the administration
of the finances is bad and corrupt, and
that there is no proper system of audit
and control. On this point we have
the report of the inspector Of offices
in 1897, in which he states that the de-
falcations Of officials amounted to S92,-
$50, and only few hundred had been
recovered. Between 1888 and 1898 the
debates in the volksraad show that on
advances to officials there is no less
than 81 1892, 500 unaccouoted for.
The secret service fund, according to
amounted to $3.50. 900. which is more
than the amount voted in the British
imperial estimates, yet that sum has
been habitually exceede ed. 10 1898, it
amounted to S212, 500, and in 1896 to
1859, 900.
The liquor law was passed lin 1897,
but it was habitually evaded. Under
that law only So licenses were allowed
in Johannesburg. but. as a matter of
fact, no less than 1873 licenses were
granted. A Transvaal commission has
on this subject, and they

erous proceeding to employ so large
a force against so small a power.
Does the smallness of country Justify
the magnitude of its evil acts? Is it to
be held that If your subjects suffer
violence, outrage, and plumber in a
country which is small a weak that
we cannot ask it for compensa-
tioD?'
No sir. Lord Palmerston said end
has ever since been upheld in this
country, that
he may be, shall feel confident that the
watchful eye and strong arm of Eng
land will protect him against injustice
and wrOng.''
We believe from the bottom of our
hearts, that this is war of
democracy against oligarchy y
war OF FREEDOM against
tyranny. We believe that We are 60
ing to remove oppression. and that we
are going to set up equal laws for all
men south of the Zambesi. This is the
war which has been thrust upon and
now we have ente red upon it 1 hope
that the government will see that the
result will be that from one end of
South Africa to the other freedom and
equality will be established among all
men. No one can read the history of
the past without feeling the profound
est sympathy for the Dutch. [ have
no hesitation in stating here my con-
viction that the policy adopted by her
majesty's government is the only one
which it was possible to take up.
They prosecuted their policy with the
utmost patience, in fact [ believe that
they pushed patience to the verge of
weakness; and now that they have en-
tered upon this war | hope and pray
that they will be rewarded for their
long patience by speedy and success

very large and increasing proportion
of the Uitlanders are not birds Of pas
sage;' they contemplate long resi-
deDce in the country, or to make it
their permanent home. These people
are the mainstay of the reform move
ment, as they are the property of the
country, and they would make exec J.
lent citizens if they had the chance" 3
Those who are asking by what right
are we interfering. 1 would remind
that the colonial secretary in 1896 gave
a pledge to the Uitlanders in which he
said:
THE people of Johannesburg laid
down their arms in the belief that
reasonable concessions would be ar
ranged by your Intervention, and until
these are granted or definitely pro-
missed to you by the president the root
cause of the trouble remains"
A similar view was taken by Presi-
dent Burgers, in q speech to the Trans
vaal Rad on March 3, 1877. He said:
SIT is asked what have our English
neighbors got to do with our position?
1 tell you, as much IS we have to do
with our Kaffir neigh bors. AS little as
we can allow barbarities among the
Kaffirs on our borders, as little can
they allow that. in a state on their
borders, anarchy and rebellion should
prevail"

vivid picture Of the time. In the re-
mote future, when temperatures as low
as those which Professor Dewar pro-
duces in his experiments at the Royal
Institution will prevail all over the
earth. The atmosphere and the oceans
will then have disappeared within the
rocky crust Of the globe, their elements
having entered into new combinations.
In other words. to use Sir John MUIR

ocean will have become solid rock"
But over their surface will roll the
