readers, and especially for the edifca-

permitted this country to be made a

so grossly, also, has this inexcus.
able Government neglected the nation
al defenCes, that We are still, to the
detrlment OF English workpeople, buy

nations. S there nobody ready to put
the rope round the neck OF the lingo
traitors who have betrayed their coun-
try? The day, however is quickly
coming when these criminals will
quake in their shoes. The populace
are already beginning to discover that
the want Of capacity, and conspiracy
with the financial sharks, which have
ear-marked our INSCRIPTIONS minis
try have caused the deaths sf many
brave English, fixed a permanent mon
etary blhddn on the backs of the peo.
pie, and lowered our dignity and repu-
tation among the nations OF the
world.
Another instance of the gross and
ing towards our splendid foemen i'm
South Africa is the ordering Of the
chief residents OF Middelburg in the
Cape Colony to be present at the exc
CutiOn of a Dutch inhabitant who sid
ed with his kindred in the Republics.

the country along the lines of commu-
nicatiOn which we were unable to
guard with our huge army to ride on
the armored trains in order that these
mi ght not be attacked by the Beers
If the latter had initiated such tactics
they mighthave put the 21,000 British
prisoners which they captured in the
forefront of their commanders when
attacked by the English. But their
humanity forbade them TO do that
which the English captains did not
scruple to do.
So afraid is the Government Of the
oppression Of public opinion on their
mistakes and misdeeds in South At
rica that, not content with suppress
ing English newspapers in certain
martial law districts, they are now al
50 fOrbidding foreign newspapers to
appear i'm these regions. All this is
an indication that the situation of az
fairs grows darker every day. The
Government are at their wits ends
They do not know what way to turn.
Their most overwhelming desire is
to prevent the public from knowing
the true facts Of the case.
The awful tragedy in South Africa
continues. We were again too mod
crate in our estimate of casualties
for the month, making them only
about 5000 whereas they were nearly
1000. Kitchener sends his weekly in
voice Of pounds of beef captured-a
new feature to keep up our dropping
spirits-and Of alleged Boer "surren-
ders. These so-called surrenders are
most amusing. Last week it was re-
ported that the British came upon a
party Of Beers, ploughing and sowing
who had never heard of war. They
were promptly made prisoners. And
she fact was telegraphed over. What
a hideous mOckery, Have all the
brains of our people left them, and are
We simply dealing with a set of fools?
And so the war goes on, 1t was to
be all over i'm three months It has
now lasted for two years, and will
probably continue for another year.
The cost 10 the present time is about
SZ5O,OOO 900, with 10000 casualties
i'm one form or another lhe Crimean
War did not cost S0.OOO,0O0. And all
this has been done, say the mounte-
banks who are muddling our affairs,

franchise to our English slaves at

seek no territory said that convicted

tragedy-we say almost, because the
spectacle Of poor people doing the dir

roarious laughter. But IL is not a
laughing matter, after ALL that the or.
dinary people the poor people, should
be taxed and done to death by a Gov
