IL we can convince England and the world
that the natural alliance between the two
countries never can countenance wrong or
permit wrong TO be done. The world viii
respect such action on our part; the Eng
lish themselves will respect IL. All the
republics OF the world need our support,
and we do not deserve place among the
nations IL we hesitate to do right in their
behalf.
England may govern well aud deserve
praise for enlightened rule and compare
tive freedom, but it has ever been her
policy to rule or ruin. During our civil
war the English people were with US, but
the British Government was not.
As Republican ! resent the suspicion
that this Administration has no sympathy
for the Africanders. They have and de-
serve the sympathy and respect of the
American people. II there were no dia-
monds found In South Africa. no gold
mines worked there: If the worlds cupidity
were not aroused, there would be war.
no question OF supremacy. no lust for pow
err The farmers OF the Transvaal did not
desire these mines. and only wished to be
left in the enjoyment OF their homes, their
foeks and herds, and their farms.

ENGLAND AND THE BoERs.
A Plea for American support of the
south African Republics.

10 the Editor Of The Times:
As an American who has spent much OF
long life studying the public mind in con-
nection with the press. let me speak for
the people of the West TO say that there,
as here, the great majority sympathize
with the South African republics, and desire
to see the United States take position, II
possible, to close this discreditable war
and stop the fearful loss of life.
The Beers may not be as we'll bred AZ
the Brtons; they may be lacking In refine
ment: but they went long way off, two
and a half centuries ago, TO found repub-
lie and make homes. The story told by
General Joubert TO Queen Victoria should
he read by every American. IL shows pa
thetically what his people have suffered
from England since the earliest years of
tn. century. and how they were driven
from their homes when England wanted
seaport at the Cape. Without arms or am
nunition they were thrown among the hos
tile Kaffirs, thousands were massacred, and
enc entire company OF 800, all families
murdered-men. women, and children. Inc
story is a record OF infamy all through the
century.
We are natural allies of the Anglo-Sax-
ons wherever We find them, and our natural
alliance with England is beyond question.
The fate OF the world and its progress may
depend on il; but the British Government
only recognizes this when 1t feels that such
an alliance is necessary TO British suprema-
cy. The English people-the people oil the
three isles have ever been our friends; the
British Government is the friend only oil
those 1t needs. II the supposed alliance Is
to sustain England in this war, We become
particeps criminis.
1t will be great opportunity TO improve,
