,.Confed eration of South Afrloa !"

Since the Boer War the British
colonies in South Africa have de-
veloped rapidly. the tieroe enmities
between Boer and Briton have
subsided, and they are all working
together for the common good:
Out of this cooperation has grown
a demand for a larger measure OF
home rule. The colonies no longer
ask for separation from the empire,
but desire control over their local
affairs.
A definite movement lie on foot
for the establishment OF South
African confederation modelled on
the system of government adopted
by Australia. Five colonies would
be inoluded-Cape Colony, the
Orange River Colony. Natal, Rho.
desia and the Transvaal
Though not thiokly populated,
the territory included In this group
is large enough for an empire, and
in time lie likely to become one OF
the greatest of England's posses
sions. Itwould seem a queer turn
of fate IL the oolonists who fought
England 80 desperately for their
independence should a few years
later be granted go large measure
of home rule that English sover.
eighty would be hardly moro than

Mr.. Bryan needle no sympathy

deluded voters who purchased with
their votes a prosperity they are
not to get-these need sympathy.
But Mr.. Bryan Is a greater man
than the presidency could have
made him. He might have ele.
waited the presidency; the presi.
denoy could not have elevated
him. he might have made of his
administration an historical turn.
ing point from plutooraoy. but the
office could not have made him q
greater historical figure than he lie
as private citizen. Among the
other great men who were defeated
for the presidency by lesser men
Mr.. Bryan will loom taller and
fairer-even among the Clays and
Websters and Blaines. For they
sought the office as masterful men
have sought imperial browne, but
Bryan sought it in the spirit OF
democratic servioe.-The Chicago
