Next Thursday, August LIST, is the
date set for the first primary elec-

Political interest is overshadowing
everything else just at present, but
the agony will soon be over and the

pie
The selection Of fifteen members Of
the upper house by the crown was vir-
tually nullitied by a provision that
when there is disagreement between
the upper and lower houses, the two
shall sit jointly, and then the vote
of the majority shall prevail, the vote
of man appointed by the crown
counting nc more than that Of a rep
resentative who owes his choice to
popular will.
That England reioices in the hearty
cooperation the Beers have given
to the peace cause, is shown by the
magnificent reception just accorded
Premier Botha on the occasion of his
recent visit as one of the delegates to
the colonial council, in which England
entertained the big men of her vari-
GUS dependencies
Botha by all adds was, the lion Of
the occasion. He was wined and dined
by England's elite, and wherever he
went among the people was the object
Of riotous demonstrations of popular
regard. He expressed himself as as
tonished at the welcome he received,
and was particularly touched by the
courtesies extended to him by his con-
qusrror and former foe, Lord Roberts.
The peaceful solution of the Boer
problem is IS hopeful a symptom of
international good will as a peace con-
ference. It shows that nations are be-

public under proper English direction
could be restored to the Beers.
Some of the old line reactionaries
resented the amount of self-govern-
nlent a generous England had design
ed for the conquered foe, and Sir
Percy Fitzpatrick and Mr.. Abe Bailey
were sent from South Africa to Lon
don to tell the ministry how serious
it would be to give the Beers any pow
ers of self-government whatever.
But their arguments did not avail,
for King Edward, while a stubborn
and relentless foe on the field of bat
tie, knows only liberaity when deal
ing with brave foe with whom the
fortunes of war have dealt Ill. All his
pleasure was set on giving such
treatment to the Beers as would keep
them satisfied and happy for all time
and preclude the possibility of any
further conflict.
The task of preparing constitution
that would secure all this, and at the
same time safeguard the interests OF
Britain, was entrusted to the lord
chancellor, Lord Loreburn, who has
ever been known as a friend of the
burghers.

ENsLAvINe OTHER PEOPLE.

There are people and plenty of them
everywhere in the world who care
almost nothing about the enslaving
of other people, provided that those
people do not belong to their own
race. Particularly in the United
States a very large number of white
people can see nothing specially
wrong in African slavery. Such peo-
pie need to learn that the man who
is Shareholder in principle cares
very little about the color Of the slave
his greed and avarice have extin-
guished even his racial partialities. The
truth of this view of the case is shown
from the following excerpts from the
news of the day:
The Attorney General received yester-
DAY the report of the successful outcome
OF a peonage case against F. I. .Howden,
superintendent of the Prairie-P Pebble
Phosphate Company, of Mulberry Fla
A verdict of guilty was reached in all
five counts in the indictment. The per
committed were white foreign labcrers.
Within a few miles of Richmond Il
young white woman, sold into peonage
ten years ago. when she was mere slip
of a girl has just been rescued from her
involuntary servitude. 1literate, dense
ly ignorant and persuaded that the self
appointed guardian who had virtually
sold her into slavery was acting within
his legal rights. the girl shaved for years
on farm. her employment at times being
the toughest sort of agricultural work:
mules. looked after several cows q
drove Of pigs. and worked in the barn
yard, where her duties were many and
varied.
This white woman spent ten years
of her life as slave in the grand
cid commonwealth of Virginia" the
mother Of Presidents, as the price of
an cid horse valued at less than $50.
We presume that she will not be on
exhibition at Jamestown.

To what extent will the southerners
go Oh in their assinine ideas regard
ing Afro-Americans who are nothing
more and nothing less than human
beings with the same desires, hopes
and ambitions as themselves? The
latest is that a tacit conclusion has
been reached by the Nashville board
Of education that only Afro Americans
born, bred and educated in the South
need apply for election as teachers in
the Afro-AmeHcan public schools of
that city. This action was taken, the
board says, for the reason that Afro
Americans from north of Mason and
Dixon's line have notions and "are
not familiar with Southern traditions
and sentiment"
The Afro-Americans who have been
bred, born and educated in the North
have no notions dissimilar from their
colleagues and we have yet to learn
that any thing that is really good for
q white man is not good for a black
one.

JIMCROWING THE CHURCH.


Black bishops or no black bishops
was the question which threw the
convention of the Protestant Episco-
pal Diocese of Pennsylvania into
Mysteries at a recent meeting. A COM
mittee reported in favor of sending
special missionary bishops to the
South to labor among the Afro-Ameri-
can population. Rev. DR.. Grammar
= said it was great effort to win a
race, to bridge over the widening gulf
of animosity between whites and
blacks in the South Bro. Pepper
sale he believed that the introduction
OF Afro-American bishops would split
the church.
The following resolution was -unani-
mously adopted: "That the diocese
of Pennsylvania memorabilia the Gen
eral Convention so to amend the con.
stitutiun and canons that missionary
bishops may be consecrated to have
jurisdiction over specified races, and
lay before it amendments that would
give the largest province of advancing
the interests of our church among the
colored people,.

Beers ARE NOW VIRTUALLY
MASTERS OF THEIR LAND
Haze Won From Great Britain BY Peace What They
Could Not Gain Through Var

Under our new government with
Great Britain, am confident that with
in five years all the material losses Of
the recent war will have been made
up. and Transvaal will start on a
career of prosperity such as it never
knew before"
1t was a gallant enemy of the
British who made this prediction, no
less person than Gen. Louis Botha,
who in the two and half years strug-
gle between the little African republic
and the mighty forces of Great Britain
gave valiant account of himself in
the field, and added much to the
troubles of Lord Roberts and Kitchen
er.
But now a new regime is being inau-
gurated. England recognizes the valor
of those she defeated, only after an
expense of $800,000,OO0 and the loss Of
100000 men, killed and wounded. She
wants them to be as good subjects as
they were enemies, and to assist this
kind of permanent peace, based on
mutual good feeling, has extended per-
haps the most liberal peace terms ever
granted to a beaten foe.
The very first act, the appointment
of Gen. Botha to be the new premier
of the transvaal, is in itself an act Of
magnanimity. The Beers have great
est confidence in him. They know that
he was in closer relations with their
great heroes-Kruger, Joubert, Cronje
and De Wet.
They believe in his devotion in the
Boer, and trust him that in all which
develops in the future he will see JUS
tice done the farmers who humbled
Butler, Methuen and Gatacre and only
finally yielded to the prowess of Rob-
erts and Kitchener.
In some respects it is not surprising
that the Beers ore receiving generous
treatment now, for it is significant of
the changed political conditions in
England that the man who is at the
helm as prime minister, Sir Campbell
Zimmerman, was most ardent op-
ponent of the Boer war. one of those
Englishmen, who came into disfavor
for a time from the vigor with which
he opposed it. The Liberal victory
carried him into power, and with the
full sympathy of King Edward he has
addressed himself to the Boer prob
lem as one of the most important is
sues Of his term.
Those special objects of Boer dis
like, Miner, Chamberlain and Jane
son, have passed from power. They
have no part now in administering
The government of the country that
charges all it's troubles to them. Sir
Campbell Bannerman believes that all
friction between Beers and Britons
might have been avoided had the
former been taught loyalty to the
English sovereign, and been made to
understand that when the acts of the
sovereign's satraps were unjust, they
could get a hearing and redress from
the crown. x /
The main cause Of the war was
belief that what the Miners, Chamber
lains and Jamesons did the crown had
instigated. King Edward is now ad-
dressing himself to the task of show
Ing that this was a wrong idea.
