; taxes without being allowed represent
tation in the legislative assembly, that
they cannot worship God according to
| the dictates of their own consciences,
that they have no public school facili-
ties in which the Dutch language is not
used. All OF this might be true (Which
is not the case) and still the British
would be entirely wrong in waging war
upon the Beers. 1t never has yet been
successfully disposed that by the treaty
of London, 1884, Great Britain acknowl-
edged the independence OF the Beers
under the name of the South African
Republic and solemnly promised never
to interfere with their internal affairs.
Part of this treaty is referred to in the
Encyclopedia Britannica, title, Trans
vaal." If British and other foreigners
came to that country, even at the re-
quest OF the Beers, they did so with
their eyes open and subject to all the
Transvaal laws as they found them,
there being no promise, express or i'm
piled, that these laws would be repealed
in their favor The British should not
find fault with the Boer laws, since
they are interlopers, and the object of
laws was to exclude them. Every ma
ton has the right to do as it pleases as
regards its own territory and no honest
nation, after it has given its word of
honor to refrain from doing particular
thing, will break that obligation be-
cause it is to its interest to do so. But
in point Of fact none of these Boer laws,
except that forbidding foreign repre-
sentation in the legislature, were
rigidly enforced; and the reason that
the British were denied representation
there, was that, as they outnumber the
Beers, they would have accomplished
by law what they are now seeking to do
by force-the annexation of the Trans
vaal to the British empire. AS the
Beers have had two experiences in this
line they wished to avoid a repetition
of the experiment. That the Uitlan-
ders, other than British, did not con-
slider themselves aggrieved by the Boer
laws is evident from the fact that prac-
tically all the foreigners in the Trans
vaal, except the British, joined the
Boer armies. Mr.. Macrum says that in
spite of President McKinley's procla-
nation to the Americans in the Trans
vaal to remain neutral nearly all of
them promptly enlisted with the Beers.

TheS. A. L. Extension to Birmingham.

Inc De As LIE LAtchSAOu " DiT UllnB nhLns
The following item from Birmingham
appeared in an Atlanta paper of recent
date: "The surveying party of the
East and West railroad who are sur
veying route from the western termi-
nus of the East and West railroad Of
Alabama at Pell City to Birmingham,
distance Of thirty miles, are now at
Gate City, four miles from Birming-
ham. At Gate City they are surveying
route for connecting with the Bir-
mingham Belt. 1t is stated that in a
few days the Seaboard will openly an
nounce the scheme, which is line from
Birmingham Belt, to the East and
West and the Seaboard, the scheme in
GLIDING, of course, the purchase of the
East and West and the Birmingham
Belt. Everything points that way"
OF course, if this scheme is carried
through, the line will come by way Of
| Marietta and Rockmart, connecting
line between Atlanta and the latter
| place on the East and West being
built. To run a line from Athens or
Lawrenceville on the f. & w. across to
Gainesville, not touching Atlanta with
all Of its railroad connections and the
immense amount Of business it could
give the road, which for want OF it
would go elsewhere, cannot be consid-
cred for a moment. Equally unwise
would it be to build from Atlanta to
Gainesville for it would make the
whole line from Atlanta to Birming-
ham longer than via Marietta and
Rockmart, as well as necessitating the
construction OF longer connecting line
From Atlanta to Marietta, by practi-
cable railroad route, is eighteen miles,
and from Marietta to Rockmart, via
Dallas, is about thirty-fi five miles, a total
distance of fifty-three miles, much on
which, perhaps, ten or fifteen miles, has
already been completed by the old
Marietta and Polk Slate Quarry rail-
road company which was surveyed
and located to Jacksonville, Ala, and a
considerable amount of grading in diff
erent localities had been done when the
war caused an suspension of work. The
distance from Atlanta to Gainesville is
forty eight miles. Hence, there would
be saving in construction of perhaps
five miles in favor of the Marietta and
Rockmart route, besides making the
line from Atlanta to birmingham
seventeen miles shorter.
As the Seaboard has recently been
feorganized and is now controlled by a
powerful company of capitalists who
are consolidating with it other very
important lines, and has recently been
granted charter to build from Rich
mond, Va, to Washington, D. c., so as
to reach New York and the east, il is
very probable that the Birmingham re-
port is true. That place is the most
important manufacturing city in the
south, and its consequent value as
railroad point is very great

Imperialism in.Arkansas.

After being overwhelmingly defeated
by the counties which have thus far
acted, Expansionist Governor Jones, OF
Arkansas has concluded to retire from
the race for United States Senator from
that state, His action in this matter
reminds me of that of those candidates
for office who when they ascertain that
they cannot win suddenly discover that
they have pressing private affairs which
must have their attention, and not
withstanding their desire to serve the
dear people, they must be excused this
time. Some other time they will be at
their country's service,
This, I believe, is the first time that
the issue Of expansion, militarism and
imperialism has been presented square
ly to the people in a state election, and
if Arkansas can be taken as an index of
southern opinion on the subject, it is
clear that this part of the union is
greatly opposed to these new depar-
lures by our government.

A Rebuke for the Tories.

A few weeks ago all the tories and
tory papers in the country we're I'M
sparing in their criticisms and denun-
Citations of Charles Macrum, former
American consul at Pretoria, Transvaal,
because he had the courage to expose
the dishonorable practices of the
British government in this war, one of
the most fragrant of which being the
censorship, or opening by its agents, of
his official letters. This statement was
declared to be untrue by the American
tories, and all sorts of abuse and insults
were heaped upon Mr.. Macrum for pre-
Stunning TO allege that 1.-THE king could
do any wrong" The tory organ in
Atlanta wanted to know "if the country
has not had enough Of Macrum" and
was furious at even the thought that
this country should, in any way, med
die with the belligerents.
And now comes the news that the
British government, through Lord
Pauncefote, its ambassador at Wash
ington, has apologized to the United
States for the illegal and discourteous
treatment of Mr.. Macrum's official let
tiers by its representatives thus PROV

1t is safe to assert that had not the ex-
consul retained the envelopes of his
