land there was besides the broader OBJ
iect Of establishing absolutely the Brit
ish supremacy in South Africa.
For the sake of retaining their inde-
pendence and of retaining in their
own land their power over strangers
in race. language, religion and customs
THE Beers risked their all. After a
fight that has excited the admiration
of the whole world, they have been
beaten and must stand the conse-
quences. Their republics have become
British colonies to be ruled by
British administrators; their
land is open to anyone
who chooses to enter it under the pro-
lection of British law; neither they nor
any power to which they might wish
to turn can dispute British supremacy
south of the Zambesi
The concessions made in the final
capitulation are such as any civilized
nation must have made under the
circumstances. That the Boer leaders
should have been reluctant to accept
them save at the last extremity is com
prehensible: II British officials have
hesitated to offer them sooner or to
comprehend their necessity, il is a
mark of incredible blindness.

nounced in positive, terms that there
lis in progress a plan to consolidate all
sugar interests, the cane sugar refiners
having secured control Of most OF the
beet sugar interests.
1t is not contended that the eighteen
senators OF the opposition are trying
to profit by their conduct, nor that
they are even aware OF the attempted
consolidation. but it is thought that
this revelation will affect their CON
duct. as they will hardly back a trust
in its efforts to control the entire mar
ket. 1t would be the part of wisdom
for this country to make the most
liberal trade arrangements with the
new government of Cuba. They have
bought largely in European markets,
and now that they have been brought
into close relations with us, it is an
excellent time to divert a part of this
trade. They will buy where they sell,
and for every cargo of sugar unloaded
at our wharves. there will be a return
cargo of cur products.
