THE SOUTH AFRICAN ELECTION.

THE SOUTH AFRICAN ELECTION.
A national election without national
issues is the anomaly which confrOnts
the Union of South Africa That nation
is to-day holding its first general cleo
ton, and the campaign which is thus
closed has been marked throughout with
earnestness and at times and in places
with strenuosity. Yet so well, or in some
respects so Ill, was the work Of union
performed that there has been developed
not one single issue of truly national
scope on which the parties may divide
such as protection or free trade, or
state rights or national sovereignty.
There are, however, numerous minor is
sues over which sharp divisions exist,
and these are to a considerable extent
on racial lines, so that the Nationalist
party, supporting the existing ministry,
Is substantially Dutch, and the Unionist
party, now in opposition, is similarly
British.
We have said that the lack Of national
issues is due largely 10 the way in which
union was effected. Ia several cases such
issues were simply shelved The ques-
ton of negro enfranchisement is one.

Our London correspondents report
concerning the amicable and satisfactory
understanding which is being reached
between Great Britain and America
over the new customs regulations is
gratifying but by no means unexpected.
1t was confidently to be assumed from
the outset that if there were any valid
objections to the rules they would be
promptly met and disposed of, The in
temperate vaporings of few ultra Cob
denites. to whom all trade regulations
are anathema. and who represented the
regulations q s intended to exclude Brit
ish commerce from our markets, were
doubtless responsible for much of the
misunderstanding. As a matter of fact.
the intention of our government was to
facilitate rather than to obstruct COM
