with the Beers because they are fight

ence ana for the right TO govern their
own land. The contest is at bottom "a 2
for empire on the one side, for inGc-
pendence on the other"
Prof. +. c. Desumichrast of the
French department: The war In my
opinion was deliberately brought about
by the Transvaal government. which
ever since the retrocession entered upon
a policy having for it's object the ulH-
mate exclusion OF the British from the
whole OF South Africa"
Prof. s. VI. McNanc OF the depart

the common law of Englaul-a system
