THE NEW ERA IN SOUTH AFRICA

Mr.. Chamberlain's temperance in the House
of Commons was marked with some utterances
concerning the reconstruction of South Africa
which a few of his critics affect TO regard as
weak and faltering, but which will doubtless
be esteemed by the world generally as promis-
ing wise solution Of problems and a benef-
cent conduct OF affairs in that much vexed
quarter of the British Empire. Memories of
reconstruction" in our own Southern States
are still sufficiently keen to give Americans a
pretty full appreciation of the difficulties which
beset the government of South Africa II is of
good omen that Mr.. Chamberlain and his lieu
tenants are addressing themselves to the case
in temperate and conciliatory and at the same
time thoroughly practical spirit.
Thus 1t is made known that the British Gov
eminent will pay special attention to the pro-
motion Of agriculture in the Transvaal and will
have instruction therein given to the burghers
Nothing could be better than this. It is a
strange thing that the Beers have never vet
taken to farming to any considerable extent
They have been called nation of farmers" n
million times in these last three years, yet that
is precisely what they are not and never have
been. With vast expanse of fertile soil and
a superb climate they have never put more
than fifty thousand acres under cultivation and
have not raised enough to feed themselves and
their horses, but have constantly had to import
grain and fodder In encouraging them to till

punish every robbery, so they keep hand on
the robbers and get what they can as the price
of not pursuing them relentlessly on sight just
because they are known to be criminals
whether they can at the moment be convicted
of any particular crime or not. One difficulty
OF such an arrangement is the tendency 10
build up system of paid protection for thieves
just 1t has so VIGOROUSLY done for gamblers
and depraved women. Moreover, there is some
reason to think that vigorous and uncompro-
missing hunting might before long make New
York intolerable resort for the criminal class
There would doubtless be some robberies, ana
persons with special claims who suffered from
them might find more difficulty in recovering
their property. On the other hand, the mass OF
the people would be subject to fewer attacks
for the ordinary run of thieving would be much
more dangerous. With the old system criminals
feel that they can. under ordinary clrcum-
stances, live and operate here with compare
tive safety. With the other method they would
all know that every act was taken at great
risk and only the boIdest and most incorrlglDle
spirits would care to enter this field. 1t would
be interesting TO see a serious attempt ihaue
unsparingly TO hunt them down.

line of emaciated men comes tumbling down
the stony bed of a dried up mountain stream
Their uniforms are in tatters their shoes gone
With bleeding feet and bloodshot eyes they
emerge from the depths of the forest The air
is that Of furnace Not leaf is stirring
Before them a morass baking In the fierce rays
of the monday sun. Beyond the blue sea
lazily tapping stretch of sandy beach The
atmosphere seems to vibrate and the MAS

For weeks they have crossed mountain
rapges following trails lined with poisoned
spears and dotted by bamboo pitfalls. Foot by
foot they have cut their way through trackless
jungle. For days they have subsisted on moth
ing but what the forest furnished-leaves and
bark. They have carried their sick and
wounded along as best they could Their
tongues are parched, their skins burning with
an all consuming fever. Their hands run with
blood from contact with countless thorns; their
bodies are covered with fostering sores, upon
which Shiny leeches feed. The brain is id
whirl and every nerve seems shattered. The
least notes.-the futter of a parrot in the
branches, the mocking cry Of monkey
squatted in the shade of a palm, the rustic of
a harmless lizard amid the tall grass of the
opening-causes an excruciating tension of the
nerves and the agonizing collapse after II is ali
over.
And they march--no drag themselves
along-brooding; brooding over comrades whose
bones lie bleaching In the forest waylaid MUIR

strangled; brooding over fortunes which only
the refined cruelty of a savage could DEVISE

cents day, and what the future has in store
for them. 1t is the story Of a score of expedi

British Government with be doing one OF the
best possible things for the permanent pros
perity of the colony.
Another wise step will be the planting OF
small agricultural colonies Of Britons mixed
with Beers all over the fertile parts Of the
colony. It is proposed to make these colonies
of from twenty to thirty families each, the
Beers and Britons in about equal numbers, and
the latter drawn partly from the United King
dom and partly from the colonies. The govern
ment will supply irrigation wherever needed,
and it will also furnish needed capital on easy
terms. These colonists will be required actu-
ally TO live upon and to cultivate the land
allotted to them. under penalty of losing title.
and their tenure will be liable TO cancellation

land can be so greatly developed as to fulfil Lord
