THE BLACK MAN
IN SOUTH AFRICA
A Factor Wliicji fin-n Britain Maj
Have to Contend Wiih.
HIS ENORMOUS M'MBERS
Seven Million Against a While Popu
lation of Only Seven Hundred
drtd and Fifty Tmmsand
With war between Great Britain and
the Boers in night, the man who studies
the situation from ar naturally asks,
"What will the native element do?
With which party will the black?
tandT
The question become doubly Inter
esting when one considers that the
black outnumber the whites English
and Boers many times over, and that,
notwithstanding their comparative civ
ilization in some districts, they are the
natural eneml of the Caucasian, and
look upm him as a trespasser. In the
Transvaal there are supposed to be
three blacks to every white; In Natal
the proportion Is ten to one, while In
other territories, British, German and
Portugese, the disproportion, accord
ing to James Bryoe, is much greater
four million or five million of natives

A BOER GENERAL INSPECTING VOLUNTEERS.
Ereiy mal eitiaea of th Boer Republic who has reached tlie age of 13 knows
Vow to handla s rifle, sod th bon an as ready as tli adult to fi-ht for tiirir eonntry.
Wbea volnatfers are called for the responses are greatly out of ilia usual proportion of
a country's citiienship. Scenes like tin above aare been of frequent occurrence re
wstly in Oom Paul's republic
Europeans. The total number of
whites south of the Zambesi hardly
reaches TJ.W), while the black popu-
latlon Is roughly computed at from
7,000,900 to 8,000,000. At present, there-
fore, to far as numbers go, the country
Is a black man's country.
England has bestowed the gift of
self-overnnient upon all of Its colonies
in the temperate zone, but the colonies
In the tropics are governed from Eng-
land. The only crown colony where
the niajurity of population is not white
may be found in South Africa, and
some writers have compared the diffl-
culties with which the whites In South'
Al'rlca had to contend with those whloh1
were experienced by the whites in the1
Southern States of this country in the'
early days of the reconstruction period. '
The' blacks are divided into two!
classes, the tribal of wild natives, who
are by far the more numerous, and '
those who have settled habitations, j
"among whom," says Bryce, "one may'
Include, though they are not aborglne. !
but recent Incomers, the Indians of
Natal and the Transvaal, as well as thi;
comparatively few Malays of the Cape.
Of these non-tribal natives, some till
the land for themselves, while others
act as herdsmen or laborers for white
farmers, or as workmen in various
trades for white employers." These
natives wear clothes, speak Dutch or
English, and, to some extent, profess
Christianity. They are quiet and or
derly, and not given to crime. But,
ho matter how lawabiding or Indus
trious a native may be, the Boers have
never given the matter of political
rights for the natives any considera
tion. As to the tribal natives, that part of
the population whenoe danger is looked
for In case of war, they are In many
grades of civilization. The Basutos are
an Industrious and settled people, many
of whom are Christians, while the Ma
tabele. the Barotse of the Far North
and the Tongas of the East Coast are
complete savages.
There are about six million Kaffirs
Ilvirg under their chiefs south of the
Zambesi river, and besides these there
nre Korannas, who are like the Bush
mn, and Namaquas, who resemble
ihe Hottentots. With the exception of
the missionaries, no one pretends.to do
anything for the education of these
people, and although the Intertribal
raids and wars have ceased, the tribal
hatreds survive. Partial civilization
does not obliterate these tribal hatr.ds,
and it Is nothing unusual to see a Zulu
and a Kaffir fight within the civilized
districts. The natives have gone in
great numbers from their native haunts
to the diamond mines at Klmberley
and the gold mines in the Witwaters
rand and In other parts of the Mat
heleland and Mashcuialond beoaua of
the templing wag. They usually re
main at work long enough to earn the
price of a few head of cattle, and then
return to their homes.
The natives of Basutoland and Bech
uanaland are kindred, although their
common language differs widely from
the Zulu and Xosa, or KaiHr proper
The Ksfhr land, or KafTarla. Is that
part of the coast between the western'
border of Natal and the Great Kel
rlvtr. With the exception of the yel
low pecple, including the Hottentots
and Bushmen of South Africa, all the
aborigines of South Africa as far
north as the northern boundary of Ma
Ubeleland and Mashonaland are Kaf
firs and kindred tribes, but mixed with
more northern tribes of the Bantu
family. The Arabic name "Kaflr" (un
believer) was applied to the natives by
the Mahometan traders on the south
east coast, and the word was continued
in use by the Portuguese explorers, and
t her. by Dutch and British sailors.
The Kaffirs were never a united tribe,
but they hav many tribal organisa
tions. The most Important are the
Ama-Zulus, or Zulus; the Ama-Xotm
and Ama-Tjtnbu, In all about Ave hun
dred thousand souls.
In nearly all the districts where a
regular British or Boer government
has been established the tribal nations
are now settled oo reservations similar
to those which are set aside In Amer
ica for the Indians. There they live
under their chiefs, and In the remote
districts continue to practloe thWr old
ceremonies. In Cape Colony and Natal.
however, the more offensive of their
ceremonies are now forbidden by the
government.
The Dutch found that the Kaffirs
who dwelt further to the south were
divided into petty tribes, mostly en-
gaged In war with one another. Some!
were half naked, none was firmly root-;
Ptl in the soil, and the fact that thej
tribes who spoke similar dialects w- re;
cften far away from one another, withj
a tribe of different dialect living be-
tween, indicated that there had bveiv
many displacements of population. !
in the last years of the eighteenth
century Dlngiswayo, the exiled son of(
the thief of the Abatetwa tribe, which
lived in what Is now Zululand, found
his way to the Cape and learned to!
admire the military organization ofj
the British troops who were then hold-j
ng the colony. He returned to his
home, regained his throne and organ-(
jzed his warriors, who before then had
(ought like other savages without order,
or discipline. His principal lieutenant '
was a young man, an exiled chief of .
the then small "tribe of Zulus. This
officer, T.fliaka by name, says James
jjryce, formed them Into regiments and
drilled them to such a perfection that
no enemy could withstand their rush,
and the defeated force, except such as
could escape by fleetnss of foot, wasi
slaughtered on the spot. Quarter had
never been given In the native wars,
but the trained valor of the Zulus and
their habit of Immediately engaging the:
enemy hand to hand gave them a su-!
periority over all their neighbors and ,
rendered their victories more san-j
gulnary than native battles had ben'
previously. j
Tshaka rapidly subjected or blotted
out all the clans that lived near his
tribe whose home In a naturally pro
tected district gave them some advan
tage. Through the butcheries of the sav
ages Natal became almost a desert, and '
those w ho escaped the assegai of the I
brutal chieftain many fled to the!
mountains and there became cannibals. I
A part of the Zulu army carried its
operations to the north of the Vaal ;
river and destroyed the surrounding
country for hundreds of miles till It
was Itself routed by the Boers and'
English. In brief, the Zulus founded a!
powerful kingdom, and It retained its:
P""r unner Dlngaan, who murdered
j hls brother Tshaka In 1S28; Panda,'
bro'her of Tshaka and Dingaan, and 1
j Oetewayo 'pronounced Ketshwayo),son I
1 nt Panda, until 1879, when it was over-'
! thrown. ;
Various offshoots from the Zulu na
tion were scattered out In different sec- j
Hons. The Matabele occupied the'
country which took their name; thej
Angtjnl crossed the Zambesl.where they
i til f r ii
are still troublesome to their neigh
bors and to the whites, Kaltlr tribes
from the northeast were driven south
ward Into the mountain coutttry now
called Basutoland, and here th Bas
uto kingdom was bulK up out of fugi
tive clans by th famous Chief Mos
hesh. What is now Natal and nearly all
that part of th country which U now
the Orange Free Stale, with a part of
th Transvaal, was denuded of Inhabi
tants, and many emigrants from Cape
Colony established themselves .there.
Th power of th chief was not the
same in the various tribes. Among the
Zulus, tli.w orgnniiiUliHi was entire
ly military, he was a despot; among
the Uechuana tribes and th Basutos
he deferred to the sentiment of the
peovte. "Even such able uvea," says
Hryee, "as the Rasuto Moshesh and the
UeihuaiiA Khama had often to bend
to the wish of their subjects. It was In
cattle that the wealth of a chief or a
rich maa lay, and cattle, being the
common measure of value, served as
currency, as they serve still among the
reimitv.' tribes whl.'h have not learned
to use British coin. Polygamy was
practiced by all who could afford it.
the wife being purchased from her
father with cattle, more or fewer ac
cording to her rank. This practice,
called lobolo, still prevails. The ordi
nary wift was a slaw, being required
to do all of the tillaga and most of the
other work, except that about the cat
tie, which, being honorable, was per
formed by the men."
Historians agro that the British
army has nevor encountered a more
daring enemy than the black man of
Africa. Nine wars were newded to sub'
Jugate the Kaffirs of the southern
coast, although they had no firearms
until recently. In their bottles with
the Boers they wvre destroyed by the
fire of horseman riding up. delivering a
volley and riding off before assegla
could reach them, and In the great war
with Cvtewayo in 187S they fought In
the open and were mowed down by the
British volleys; and In 1S93 the Mata
bele perished In the same way under
the fir of riflemen and Maxim guns
sheltered behind a laager of wagons.
The Kaffirs are religious, but their
religion and that of their ancestors
did not mean the worship of any deity,
nor had It any moral significance.
They believe In spirits spirits of the
river, the mountain, the woods, etc.
and In the ghosts of the dead, and
they have ceremonies where they wor
ship these ghosts. The ghosts always
dwell at the spot where the body Is
buried, and the graves are therefore
the places where offerings are made,
which take all forms except human
sacrifice.
Powerful men among the natives
have been taken to England to show
them how superior the Europeans are
to the savages and how fruitless op
position to the whites must be, but
even men like Lobengula, who visited
England In 1S91, were powerless in that
direction, and despite Lobengula's ex
perience, the young wariors clamored
for war In 18JJ and were sure that the
Matabele could wipe out the white In
truders. A ketn obsrver writing on the sub-ct
on the subject of the native element In
case of war says:
SuDDosins: that the Boers of the
Transvaal were massed In commandoes
near the border, and that from the Free
State large numbers of men were with
drawn. What would theae two facts
mea.i for the Transvaal natives, the
Swa.is and the ifasutos? The Trans
vaal natives w.uld rise, and the war
loving Swaitis, who resent Boer In
terference In their country ami hold
the ltoer In contempt, make no s-"cret
of shaking oft forever the lording over
them of Joubert and his Tten. T'
Swa.is will Invade the Transvaal the
mom nt the British troops cross the
Transvaal border.
For years the Free State farmers
have been haunted by the ftar of the
ftasutos. The Basutos hav long stand
ing ETievanoes aealnst the Free State,
which they Intend o wipe out They
are determined to reposness the con
quered territory which the Free State
by fals means was aiiowea to mi
from them. The Basutos' intentions
have been for long known.
Let the bugtiers of the Free State
join forces with the Transvaal, and the
Basutos will sweep tneir country irum
the Orange river to the vaal.
Aside from the natural hatred for the
whites, the Basutos have a private
grievance which may Influence their
action as to the present time. The
English government has given notice
that in additional hut tax of 1 will
be Imposed in "their district, and addi
tional tax means additional hatrea
Whether the opposition would extend
to all whites, or whether It would be
directed against the British alone, Is a
question which time only can deter
mine; but the fear that a war between
England and the Boers may result In a
general uprising of native against the
whites seems to have foundation
enough to merit consideration.

MR, GLADSTONES COURTEST.
London Chronicle.
Th following little story, Illustrative
of Mr. Gladstone's courtesy, is fresh
to us. It cornea to us from an old resi
dent of Llanfalrfechan. Th incident
occurred at Penmaenmawr, In th sum
mer of 1800. About 11,000 hundred feet
up th mountain Is a small farmstead,
Pen Penmaen, at which resided an old
woman over seventy years old, who
brought her weekly stock of provisions
in a large basket up the steep ascent
from Llanfalrfechan village. One hot
Saturday, soon after beginning her up
ward climb, she sat down to rest. Mr.
Gladstone, seeing her, entered Into
conversation. She chatted freely, and
detailed the contents of her basket.
He lifted It. and. finding it heavy, of
fered to carry It for her.
The offer was accepted and the vete
ran statesman bore the basket load
:o the whitewashed farm cottage, near
th-. summit. A party of tourists ap
proaching frsm the Pruld"s Circle path
respectfully saluted Mr. Gladstone,
who, having set the heavy loud down
at the woman's dojr, strode vigorous,
ly scross the mountain path to Pon
maunmawr. "Did you know that wns
Mr. Gladstone who carried your basket
for you?' Inquired one of the arty.
"No, lnded; I don't know Mr. Glad
stone," replied the old woman, "but I
know that he Is a kind gentleman, who
ever he Is."
