Beyond doubt Eng­ land would be willing to givo South Africa the status of Canada or Australia, to il to accept this would be regarded by tbs Boer as the surrender of national existence, Historically, the relations of tbs Boers and tlie British have been ■Mutually complex. Many years ago, before the colonv of Natal was annexed by Great Britain, the Boers migrated to the wilderness and set up for themselves, Great Brit­ ain acknowledged their independence in 1832, but annexed thorn in 1877, a proceeding the Boers resisted with arms and partial success. In 1384 the British government ncknowledged the right of the Transvaal Republic to govern itself in everything except its treaties with foreign powers. The situation was dis. turbed by a new train of events. Tbs great discovery of goll in tlie Witwaterstratid, Boer territory, caused n heavy immigration of white men, chiefly Britisli, culled by tho Boers, "Uitlanders.’’ But for this unexpected access of population, and tho questions relating to it politically, there would bo no war at tide time, though proba­ bly it would have come later, for there is little congeniality between tlie Boer and Briton. Hostilities have not been caused by nay question about foreign treaties. The British contend that tliey am simply protecting tlie rights of British citizens apprseesii by Boer laws and exceptional­ ly heavy disabilities. Tlie Boer logisla- ture is a close corporation. In tlie upper bouse members are chosen ex- ciusively by the families of original settlers. Tlie lowsr etiainbor is elected by qualified voters, but no Uitlnnder eoa* vote unless thirty years old, a preteataut, a resident o( tlie republic for • long term of years, a naturalized citi- pen and an owner of landed property. The yoting qualifications in 1801 were varied so tliat tlie consent of two-thirds of the burglters in a ward was necessary. Plainly (lie Boers have aimed to ex­ clude new voters. The gold miners are I 2 ^ per cent, but the miners have i practically shut out of tlie legisla- I m thmiatiu when the kaiser sent his famous cablegram to Oom Paul and correspondingly depressed wnen tie withdrew it. Yet they have never lost faith in tlir)r ability to interpret tlie real official sentiment of Germany, un­ less, possibly, it lias been shaken by present events. It well might be, for, as a German statesman says, talking of Count Hnrnvieirs intervention scheme, tliat “ the steps for tlie preservation of tlie peace (between Great Britain and tho Transvaal) undertaken by Russia are likely to miscarry, because Germany just now holds to her Anglophile policy, Germany’s attitude aloilP made Mr Ghamberluin’s bold advance possible, Germany is in a measure responsible for the prospective subjection of tlie Transvaal. She is on the point of earn- ing substantial rewards from England and not only in Africa.’’ This shows, among other things, what poor inter­ preters of German official policies the newspapers of the fatherland really are and ought, it would seem, to persuade tliem of the fact along with the rest of the world, Tlie truth is, public opinion itself cuts but a small figure in the conduct of German foreign affairs. That business is carried on by a little band of experts, who simply figure out where Germany can find tlie best market for her good will and act accordingly, In their eijuution sentiment lias no place. It is all a matter of rewards and compensa­ tions, and as Great Britain lias a treasury of good things tliat other na­ tions covet she is always able to get friends when she wants them. In the old days the British used gold frankly; in tlie newer ones tliey use the equiva­ lents of gold, such as commercial privi­ leges aud territorial points of vantage. Hence the futility in tlie present case ol Russian-French intrigue. And hence more besides) What Great Britain can do to break up combi­ nations against tier can be doue on oc­ casion by the United States, We dare say a reciprocity treaty, intelligently placed, could ruin any Yankee-liatiug coalition the statesmen of Europe could possibly devise.
