mon sense. To execute these sentences
would be a crime from which we glad
ly believe Kruger would shrink. It
would be an egregious error. It is
hardly necessary to discuss the certaiu
consequences of the execution of the
sentences. The putting them to death
would kindle a blood feud between the
English aud the Transvaal Boers. No
sober politician can doubt the ultimate
issue ot a oouflict between Great
Britain aud the Transvaal, whatever
its alliances."
