see the Englishman, recently arrived
and specifically scornful of colOnials;
the miner from Wales, speaking no
tongue but Welsh, drawn thither by
high wages; the Yankee, supreme in
enterprise and slowly outing all his
competitors from business; the French
investor, the German brewer and, of
course the Scotch bank clerk, Indian
coolies, Afghans with horses, Persians
in round, embroidered caps; Syrians
peddling and hawking, Greeks and
Italians pushing great barrows laden
with fruits and luscious grapes from
the Cape orchards; Malay women with
regular oval features, carrying upon
their backs enormous bundles of wash
ing; Beers with wagons and oxen,
cracking their long whips round the
market square; half-castes and natives
from every tribe between the Zambesi
and Table mountain, pass and repass,
intent upon their business. There is
the sturdy farmer from the back weld,
making his first visit ito town." with
his round fringe, veldschoen Of I'M
tanned antelope hide and nautical
trousers buttoning at the sides, and
the Hebrew, predominant in every
thing, in the saloon trade, the fac
tories, the general stores.
Before the war there existed in
Johannesburg a syndicate, well organ
lied, with wide qualifications, con-
trolled by half a dozen millionaires,
which sold liquor illegally to the ma
tives at an enormous profit. The pen
atty for conviction of engaging in this
traffic has now been made life i'm
prisonment, and the stringency of the
law has mended matters, but not
ended them. Illegal whiskey and
smuggled opium are now the desper-
ate enterprise of few smaller men,
who stake their liberties against the
1000 per cent. profits which can be
made by them.
Illegal Liquor Sellers.
In the old days when Johannesburg
was still a mining camp, when beer
and champagne were both retailed at

days of the Kruger oligarchy, the
