Nauseous Hypocrisy.
The Kansas City journal SAYS:


1t is announced that two or three Beers
whose names are unfamiliar will soon
visit the United States to ask aid of our
people for their distraught countrymen.
If the Beers want to get help in this
country, they should have sent De Wet
or Botha or Cronje The presence of
these heroic fighters would kndle the
necessary enthusiasm, and the contribu-
tons would be much more liberal.
The pretended sympathy and admira-
ton for the Beers now exhibited by
the Journal and other Republican or

modern times.
