SHOULD WIN IN THE TRANSVAAL !?

OF the two is bound to triumph; for 1t IL
essentially the same with both OF the CON
tending parties, the Dutch tagging behind
simply because they have for so many
years been out Of touch with modern
thought and endeavoi.
The Dutch and English haveAntermar-
rled In the two colonies, and the same
condition would have obtained In tho
Transvaal in u very short time but for the
blight of greed. ignorance and arrogance,
and the race thus amalgamated that would
have said twenty-five years from now,
africa for the Afrikanders, would have
been people more Vlrile stronger physl-
cally. Intellectually and morally than evon
we proud people are ourselves.
Through the agency OF the American
female colleges and seminaries of South
Africa Oet me call them Mary Lyon
colleges) a wonderful transformation has
been going on in South Africa for some
years; and the graduates, worthily
equipped for ife's duties, would have boon
rich prizes for young English emigrants.
Now. as to the result of this deplorahle
war. All history teaches of the impetus
given to art. science, literature and all
humanities by the reblrth or regeneration
of a nation. England. in the Elizabethan
period and America and her revolution
by which England received a hundredfold
more than she would have obtained by our
conquest, prove this.
England is already Inundated. Even
II she should receive the submission OF
the two republics tomorrow this would be
true; for she entered upon this war against
a nation OF sheep herders--she, the strong
est world-power-in whose domain it was
claimed there were more English subjects
than Dutch, with the largest and best
equipped ermy she ever sent afeld, and
hoan halkad Dnfpnt cnuld hardly add
to her humiliation.
On the other hand, should the Dutch
win. United South Africa would arise,
filled with inspiration by Its success, and
noble aspirations which l believe God In
His providence would bless-a government
OF the people, by the people, for the people.
whose influence all nations would feol.

the fraudulent lists made by assessors.
The republican city committee by sending
to the receiver of taxes these forged names
and the money to pay for corresponding
poll tax receipts has put itself in the POSI-
ton of an accessory in the attempted COM
mission OF gross crime. 1t has nof, in
so far as the Record is informed, dlsa-
vowed its share in the work.
Some of the hired operatives In the COM
mission Of election frauds are now either
fugitlves from justice or on trial in the
courts It does NOT seem right that only
