THE DEBATE.
England is Justifable in Making War
on the Beers.

Mr.. EFre fer the affirmative re-
viewed the settlement OF South Africa
and the early vicissttldes of the colony
under English rule. He affirmed that the
Beers had always been willing to do
right. but had been transformed into
enemies by the uniform i'll treatment OF
the English politicians, leading finally to
the trek;ng Of the Beers nOrthward flOnl
the Cape to the Transvaal. Taking UP
the present trouble he asserted that the
TranSvaal was an independent country.
and that England was really trying to
regulate the internal affairs of a for
eign government. Gladstone had admit
ted that the Beers We're right
in their war for independence.
In 1881 England had recognized
the Transvaal as a foreign c"lln-
try. He ridiculed the so-called griev-
ances of the uttlanders and likened tine
present war 10 the invasion OF lrelanEl
by the English. Salisbury had asserted
that the English We're fighting for good
government but England had rejected the
concession offered by Kruger ON condition
that Boer independence be recognized.
The English have shown that it Is gold
and diamonds, not liberty for which
they are fighting. The issues in South
Africa are the same as the issues in the
American war for independence.
Mr.. Barrett for the negative said that
England was the only power that had
over raised its hand to defend the OPP
pressed of the Dark Continent. In order
10 justify the Boer and condemn the
English it was necessary to show that
England had broken compacts and made
war without cause. He asserted that the
