UNREST IN SOUTH AFRICA.

The war in South Africa is over, but
all is not peace and harmony there.
There has been, It is said, constant I'M
rest among the natives ever since the
war. Part Of this is said to be due
to the belief cherished by the natives
that the Beers lands would be confls-
Gated and divided among them. The
eradication Of that idea has caused dis
appointment. Again, during the war
there was an amount of familiarity be-
tween the whites and the blacks which
is responsible for good deal of the
disrespect now shown to the whites.
Another reason for the present unrest
is to be found in the high wages exist
ing at the time Of the war. and the
manner in which black labor has been
sought by the whites has encouraged
the natives to believe in the white
mans dependence upon them. In Zulu
land the Chief Dinizulr has revealed an
ambitious character. He is believed to
be anxious to assert his influence over
all Zulu-speaking people, of whom there
are many in the Transvaal. 1t is we'll
known that he has been in conmunica-
ton with the natives there, whose al.
lance he desires. No confirmation has
yet been obtained Of the reports that
whites have been murdered in the Zout-
pansberg district, or that the natives
are arming for open rebellion. There
seems to be no doubt that the native
attitude is the cause of official anxiety,
but it is said that the authorities are
fully prepared for all possible emergen-
cies, ard, while they do not expect any
thing like a general rising, are quite
ready TO repress it with vigor and
promptitude.

THE THRrFrY p1EpMoNTEsE.

IftB THRIFTY flEDMONI EoEA
In character the Piedmontese are
very unlike the popular conception of
the Italian people. AS class the peas
ants are SOBER industrious and thrifty.
They have not the gay and insouciant
temperament OF the Italians of the
South, but are stolid and Unconditional.
There is, indeed a curious resemblance
in temperament between the Piedmon-
|tese and the Bretons. If thrifty. they
are intensely grasping. and their reli-
gion is apt to run to bigotry. The blind
devotion of the peasants, coupled with
their extraordinary ignorance of aft
airs. is sometimes exploited by the
priests. There is an amusing, IL hypo-
thetical, story told of a certain priest
who increased the Peters Pence Offer
ling of his flock by exhibiting from the
pulpit straw which he declared came
from the Popess cell in the Vatican.
This sacred relic was accepted as an
|indisputable prof that His Holiness
was kept state prisoner by the gov
Ierment!

T1BETAN INTOLERANCE.

To show the severity and tyanny Of
the authorities over their subjects,
will relate what happened to one Of my
escort for complying with most
harmless request which. unfortunately.
had made to him.
One morning. when starting for the
hills. as usual, in search of game. we
happened to pass the spot where our
escort had spent the night. l noticed
that one of the party-the youngest
and most pleasing looking of the group
was seated on the ground repairing
the soles of his boots with some narrow
stripes Of hide Remembering that one
of pair OF my own shooting boots re-
quired mending. l asked Dhun Singh
to take 1t over to the man when we re-
turned in the evening. and to try to get
him to do what was required. On the
following morning my boot was
brought back to me, roughly repaired,
but once more fit for use. l sent a
small presant to my Tarter friend. and
thought no more about it. Some days
afterwood, while / was in my tent a.
bout midday, Dhun Singh called me
outside. The poor fellow who had mem
ded my boots was standing beside him.
The other three of the Tartar guard
were not in sight. CHANGING anxiously
behind him. to make sure that he was
not being watched, the man suddenly
threw off his sheepshin coat. exposing
his back and shoulders, and showing
that he had be recently most crewly
and shamefully beaten withe the lash.
To my establishment. Dhun Singh in
formed me that this terrible punish
ment was the result of the Tartar's
having complied with the small request
had made to him to repair my boot

THE LANG UAGE.

The Germans would of course like to
see their own language the world
speech" and they do not despair Of
its yet being that, but meanwhile they
are not going to be caught mapping. So
it has been recently decided that Eng
lish shall in the future be an optional
study in all the public schools of Ger
many. This decision was largely
brought about by petition of the
Dresden Schoolmasters Association to
the government. In this petition it was
pointed out that English is the most
widely used civilized language in the
world. 1t is the most important Ian
|guage for Germany's International
trade relations. In Dresden especially
the knowledge of English is of great
advantage to shopkeepers and CONNER
|cial men, owing to the important
Anglo American colony there. English
deserves preference over French on ac-
count of its literature, which ta) ex-
cells that Of France both from the ar
tistic and moral point Of view; (b) APP
peals more nearly to German sentiment
and understanding as that of q Ger
manic people; (c) has played a promin-
ent part in the development of German
literature. English is not inferior to
French in educative value. In the
teaching of English the readily learned
grammatical forms of the language en-
|ahle the time allotted to its study to
be spent in attaining the most i'm
portant object in teaching a foreign
language--the power of it's free use in
speech and writing. This is not pos
sible in the case Of French, owing to
the difficulty of it's grammar.
As English is spoken by about $780,
100000 OF the worlds people who rule
over about 525, 100000, and as those who
speak it seem about to inherit the
earth on account Of their meekness and
a few other good qualities, the Ger
mans have done well to join the grand
procession.

There IS interesting talk that the Mis-
sissippI delegation to the Democratic
national convention VIII endeavor TO
secure an anti-negro plank in the DEM
ocratic platform. such a plank. it is
thought. would be in the nature of a
rejoinder TO the plank in the Republic
can platform proposing q reduction OF
the representation of any State which
unconstitutiOnaily limits the suffrage.
Congressman John Sharp williams thus
says: The real object of the republican
party. in 50 far as this plank is con-
cerned. however specious the phraseoI-
ogy in which It is clothed. is to reduce
southern representation without reduc-
ing that of Massachusetts,. Connecticut
and other States; wherever in the South
negroes are disfranchised, not as such,
but because of Ignorance. by an educa-
tional qualification. or because of any
other right reason. in any other consti-
tutional way. Let not the business in
terest of the country deceive itself. Let
those controlling it prepare for another
period of uncertainty, unrest, business
disturbance and race war in the south
ern States instead of that peace and
prosperity that both races now enjoy.
and which has been rendered possible
only by home rule and by white SUI
premacy. Let the South not deceive
itself, either. Their duplicity is shown
by this: They wish to maintain the
amendment which forbids the negro for
racial reasons from being disfranchis-
ed, and on the pretense that he is for
racial reasons DISTINGUISHED they would
have the negro not counted as a basis
Of representation in the southern
States. where he chiefly resides. 1t is
mot the white man as a white man who
lis injured by a recurrence to the ten
denotes of force bill days-he can and
always will maintain hinlself-it is bus
mess, commerce. manufacturing, agri-
culture and the negro himself.
Oh dear! That has a monotonously
familiar sound. If John Sharp Will
liams and others can get the Demo-
cratic convention to make an anti-ne-
gro plank it will be heightened and
