So far in fact was the policy of conciliaton
carried by the authorities that the ex-rebels
received even kndier treatment than the loyal
ists presumably the the same ground that
led the father in the Parable of the Scripture to
accord far kindlier treatment to the prodigal
than to the well behaved son. When, in addi-
ton to this it is considered that these loyalists
of the former administrative power
at the Cape intrusted to a Cabinet in which the
spirit of the rebel Dutch" predominated, they
naturally began to ask themselves whether
loyalty to England paid AS stated by General
Sir Charles Warren in last Novembers Con
temporary Review" the Boer of Cape Colony
and of Natal confronted at the outbreak of
the present with the following questions:
THE LoYALIsTs' PROBLEM
can / afford to be loyal to the Queen. or
must L conceal it? Are my wife and children
provided for? And will my property be pro
tected in case fight for the Queen, or must
face ruin the recompense of my loyalty9'
This question has been answered in many and
many town and village of the English colonies
in South Africa, where the population with a
strain of Dutch or Boer blood in its veins out
numbers the inhabitants of pure English breed
The man who expressed sympathy for the
Queen assisted the English or took up arms in
their behalf was subjected not merely To os-
tracism but to the most intoerab bic kind Of per-
secution, which was extended 10 his wife and to
his children while If it could be done with
safety his home destroyed and his prop
erty devastated.
1t is Indispensable that If England is to retain
that supremacy in South Africa for which she
has recently been making such an immense
sacrifice OF blood and treasure some distinction
should be made henceforth between the well dis
posed and the i'll disposed toward British rule
that loyalty should be rewarded and disloyalt
punished. and. above ali. that no matter how de-

From Leisure Hour.
What is the social significance of the decline
Of French journalism? BY decline is not meant
here the falling off of journalistic enterprise in
a commercial sense, but intellectual and lit
erary decline. The fact is in need of proof.
because it has forced itself cOnVincinSly upon
the world. Under the Second Empire and dur
ing the early years of the present regime, the
French press was undoubtedly the most literary
press in Europe. The severe censorship of the
Empire, combined with other causes. had pro-
duced school of journalists who had perhaps
no more natural talent for the work than thOS.
who have taken their places, but who had
brought the art of writing topics of the day
to such degree of perfection that their ephem-
eral articles and chroniques were often the de-
light of the literary epicure. Even when the
subject was trivial they sparkled with that
prit which French publicists of to-day fast
exchanging for brutal plainness of expression
The charm of the old style to people of cultura
was that irony and subtle suggestion left sa
much to be read between the lines; but tha
characteristic tendency of the new style is TO
every word bludgeon.
No doubt this change is intimately connected
with the conditions of newspaper competi-
tion which have arisen from the increased num-
Der of the reading public and the progressive
cheapening of the daily press. John Lemoine
if he still alive, would have a place OF
honor in French journalism on account of his
reputation; but young journalists find
couragement to cultivate his style, which could
cut with the keeneSt edge while wearing the
/ finest polish and which was never distigured by
malignant motive bad taste. 1t cannot be
doubted that the extreme license of the French
press of to-day presents social problem of ex-
ceptional gravity. 1t is national scourge, and
yet in default of what is called retrograde legis
lation there is only one power that can repress
this license effectually-viZ., public opinion
Now, the great misfortune OF France has ever
been the want of an enlightened steady and
strong current OF public opinion. founded not on
hysterical notions of patriotism. but on common
sense views of what is necessary to the general
we'll being. Until such public opinion IS
formed there be hope of any real i'm
proVement in France.

Boer in the hope of thereby converting him into

popular comment in South Africa that it paid
far better to show hostility TO the English than
goodwill In the troubles of twenty years ago
there were large numbers of Beers. l mean Cape

they receive reward, but there actually

planned that NJ. Paquin very large en-
ployer of labor had rendered important services
to the town of Paris. This explanation would
have doubtless remained unChallenged had ii
not been for the fact that Nj. Paquin's real
name Is Jacob and that he was a prominent
Dreyfusard. AS it is, he has all the Nationalist
and anti Semitic press against him, and there
is even talk of an Interpolation in the Chamber
on the subject This little incident will show the
hollow nature of the much talked of "apaise-

SAVING HIS SEAT IN THE MUSEUM.

From The London Chronicle.
The reading room of the British Museum has
just opened after its half yearly cleaning.
one or two of the oldest habitues have felt
rather panied every and then lately at
finding their pet seats in the occupation or
somebody else. Yesterday morning an elderly
reader was seen at 9:05 o'clock marching tri-

opera hat on his head, having adopted House OF
Commons tactics and deposited silk hat ana
