Time Not Ripe.
In a communication to Lieutenant
Governor Lawley, accompanying the
letters patent providing for the
changes, Colonial Secretary Lyttelton
says that the time is not yet ripe to
grant full self-government. The mat
ter involves party government, and
this in the Transyaal will become
more practicable when the two races
have acted longer together under equ-
al rights of citizenship and when bit
ter memories have become softeneu
bA time.
In regard TO the colored population
not being directly represented in the
Volkesraad, any bill subjecting them
to special disability or restriction must
have the sanction Of the home gov
eminent before it becomes operative.
Secretary Lyttleton explains that sim
liar constitutional changes cannot be
extended to the Orange river colony
Immediately, because the industrial
and economic conditions there do not
so urgently demand them.
