THE RACIAL WAR |

IN THE TRANsvAAL.
One of the subjects upon which
the Campbell-Bannerman government
is certain to be hard pressed during
the session of Parliament which will
iopen on Tuesday next is the war b -
ing made on all Asatics by the
Boer authorities of the Transvaal.
When Lord Elgin. as secretary of
state for the colonies, approved the
law enacted by the Transvaal legis-
lature for the exclusion and deporta-
ton of Asiatics from the Transvaal
colony he could hardly have forseen
the consequences it would entail. He
probably assumed that It was solely
intended for use against the Chinese
coolies now or lately employed in
the Witwatersand gold mines, and
as poor old China has to stand for
everything, he thought no harm
would come of It.
But 1t was not only the Chinese
whom the Beers had in hand when
they passed that ordinance. They
objected to any kind of Asiatic, and
they are enforcing the new law
against all alike with an impartial
severity. There are presumably no
Japanese in the accommodated
crowd or something would before
this have been heard from Toxic;
but there are a number of Hindoos,
and as they are just as much British
subjects as the Beers and just as
much entitled to the protection of
the British government, they find II
difficult to understand why they are
not as free to live in one part of
the British empire as another. That
they are not is what they are learn
ing by bitter experience.
One of the legal requirements Is
that all Asiatics wishing to remain
In the Transvaal must present them
selves for registration and identifi-
cation. They have to be measured
and weighed and give their thumb
prints and a lot OF other things, and
after all Is said and done they are
liable to be deported anyhow at the
pleasure OF the authorities. There
have been number Of arrests for
refusal to comply with these condi-
tions. and the culprits have been
punished by fine and imprisonment
for their misconduct. Last week
thirty-five Hindoos were taken into
court, including the chairman and
the treasurer OF the Brltlsh-Indian
Association, and the chairman and
secretary OF the Islamic Society. all
described as citizens Of substance
and standing.
II Is said that thirty-two Of this
batch were ordered TO leave the
country within two weeks, although
they have been living In the Trans
vaal for years and have created val
liable interests. II is diflcult to see
! how Il will be possible for the Brit
ish government. with 10000, 900
Hindoo subjects already showing
signs OF restlessness, 10 stand for
that kind OF thing. and the oppoJi-
tion will surely want TO know what
Permler Bannerman intends doing
about it.-Philadelphia Inquirer.
