ERALS.

paper issued today gives a report OF the
conference between Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain. General Lord Kitchener,
and the Boer Generals on September 2.
At the interview tie Beers said they
did not desire to alter the surrender
terms. Botha said that the object in
general of the conference was that the
British government should show mag
nanimty so as to enable ali to live in
peace in future in South Africa Botha
also complained at the refusal to allow
many of the burghers to return from
penal exile in Ceylon. Kitchener re-
piled that this was only a question OF
waiting till martial law was over Botha
said the English in Natal were so hostile
to the Beers that it was necessary to
protest against the annexation OF part OF
the Transvaal to Natal. He personally
would have to trek if annexation was
not resigned. Chamberlain said that
martial law in South Africa would not
be continued much longer. He said the
government refused to recognize foreig-
ners who became naturalized during, or
lust before the war. Continuing, he
said: 1--WE have done more than |
think was expected ofus, and all we can
afford to do" Chamberlain said there
was no truth in the reported intention OF
the government to sell the burghers'

The tremendous gold supus is begin
ming to lrighten Secretary Shaw. In
spite of the revenue reduction, in spite
of the recent purchases Of bonds, in
spite of the huge deposits made in prac-
ticallv all the national banks OF the
country. the yellow metal continues to
pile up in the vaults of the Treasury
building. and no prospect of pause Is
in sight. The gold has reached very
nearly to the 5000, 600, 600 mark, a sum
never before approached in the history OF
the country. With the possible excep-
ton of Russia which is said to have had
several years ago Il sum slightly IN eX-
cess of this, there is now more gold In
the United States Treasury than was
ever before gathered together anywhere
on earth. The problem that confronts
the Secretary is how to get this gold into
circulation again. But that is not the
most serious question. If the gross gold
continues to accumulate, it is morally
certain that Congress will before long
take a hand in the matter and by chop
ping off great items from the tariff, re-
duce the surplus without the Secretary
advice. This is what the Secretary
breads. The moment the tariff Is dis
turbed. he fears business conditions will
become unsettled, and panic might
ensue.
A business failure has occurred under
the very roof OF the Treasury. With the
gold stacked higher in the vaults than
ever before in history, firm that has
been doing business in the great stone
building has been forced to the wall

STRAIGHT TALK.

The Charlottesville (Va.) Uaiiy Pro-
gross says this in discussing the negro
problem in the South:
Fool optimism from within, and
hypocriticaI earnings from without,
have been borne long enough by the
South in regard to the negro ques-
ton. The time has come for sensible
Southern men to take this matter in
their own hands and settle it in the
right direction once and for all. The
negro is here-hcre as an alien in
race, an incompetent in business and a
menace in politics. As such he has to
be borne with 10y the white man-his
immemorial superior in race, brains,
intelligence and money.
What shall the relations be? Those
of equals Those of semi-equals? Or
those of interiors and superiors?
The answer is plain-the inevitable
law since the first dawn of creation.
Let the superior govern the inferior
govern it with kindness and con-
sideration, with moderation and
Christian charity, as becomes the
highest form of civilization, but with
firm and self-protective measures
measures admitting of no fellowship
as TO government, with no equality as
to society. Thus will human and
Divine laws be satisfied. Thus will
peace be restored peace destroyed

laws
