NEW YORK SOCIETY.

Tomorrow Will mark the commencement OF the
New York season with all that the word implies
in the way Of gayetes OF the debuts young girls
and of social activities generally. the morning
the customary buge call IN the OF Madi-
son Square Garden will proclaim the opening OF
the annual Horse Show which has developed into
less OF a national affair In the evening the
Manhattan will begin. with La Tosca" its series
OF operatic performances which will continue un-
I'll Easter while just a week later the
Metropolitan will begin It's under the new
management. from which much is expected. While
the Manhattan attracts by reason OF the excel
lence OF its programme and by the fame OF the
artists first and foremost among them being

riohta which the negroes of the rest or the
country did not enjoy-or, rather, to deny 10
those of other parts the rights and privileges
enioved by those at the Cape. On tnls poIhI
too Natal ma aturally dissents from the otnerS'
because under the proposed system the negro
vote there will greatly outnumber the wnlte.
There are only 25,OO0 white electors In Nahi
while the negroes are nearly 1oOO0oo ana the
educational facilities which the colony mas
freely granted to the latter have doubtless quai-
flied more than % 600 OF them to pass any rea-
sonable educational test for the franchise
The reason why the four colonies are pracu-
cally sure to unite, and especially why NaIa may
be expected, against her will, to submit 10 po-
liticaI extinction, Is perfectly simple 1t is
found in the precarious nature of the p pesent
customs union and the imperative need OF Its
maintenance To have the other three colo
nies unite and then establish hostile tarlH
against her would seem quick ruin for NataI:
and that is precisely what might and probably
would happen If she were TO refuse to unite
with them So Natal. the one strongly British
colony Of the four, will merge her identity com
pletely In the general union and be governor
by the Dutch majority, which VIII probably De
found TO exist in the commonwealth as
whole. Objection to that will be, however, more
sentimental than practical, for The Dutch are
largely as loyal to the empire as the BritlSh'
and racial animoSities, prejudCeS and even
minor distinctions are rapidly vanishing. 1t
may be expected that when the union Is erected
there will be little heard of Boer ana
Briton, but the two stocks will be blended po-
litically and the resulting amalgam will then
be redivided on other than racial or linguistic
lines
