JAMES STEWART, D. D. Dr. Stewart has lived in South Africa for 30 years. He is at the head of the Lovedale Mis sion, Cape Colony. There are interesting men in South Africa. Take, for instance, Sir Alfred Milner. He is a strong, cautious uud pacific man. I talked with him last when I passed thro’ Cape Town, and was more than ev er impressed with these qualities. The confidence felt in Sir Alfred by the British population of South Africa is unqualified. Then take Mr. Schreiner, Prime Minister of the present Cape Colo ny Cabinet. He is the son of a missionary of the Wesleyan Socie ty. His mother was au English woman—l think she is still living. His brother is engaged in philan thrope work, largely temperance, among the whites and blacks in Cape Colony. His sister is, of course, well known as .the author of “The Story of an African Farm,” “Trooper Peter Haiket,” and oth er books. Evidences seem to be found of Premier Schreiner’s Af rican rather than British sympa thies—if we are to believe the newspaper reports —in the strange lack of defence of places like Vry burg, for instance. Again there was his non-action in reference to the recent transit of ammunition for the Boers through Algoa Bay. Of course, I admit that we are not at war with the Boers. Take Mr. Cecil Rhodes as an in teresting man. There is a curious feeling about him now. In the first place, to him, more than to any other, is due the extraordinary development of South Africa. He has undoubted ability, and there is still a large amount of popular confidence in him. though, of course, many have failed in their allegiance since the Jameson raid. That naturally shook confidence in him. To what extent he knew about it I do not venture to ex press au opinion. He certainly could not have authorized such a stupid piece of insanity. To us British his unfortunate expression sometime ago about the elimina tion of the imperial factor also op erated to his damage. If his aims were only on a higher moral level he would have enormous power, but he seems to have only materi al ends in view. Take, if you please, the Boer Presidents as examples of notable men. Sir John Brand was the first President of the Orange Free State. I knew him, and he was a man of For the Next 30 Days Will give you a present with every $2.50 worth of goods you buy from him for cash, and will guarantee the price. I have just received a new lot of goods, and mean to sell them if close prices will be any induce ment. If you want Flour, Sugar, Coffee, Lard, Tobacco, Snuff, Dry Goods or Notions, come and see me. I mean to sell goods if anybody does in Lawrenceville. Remember, 1 buy all kinds of Country Produce. If you need Hardwear, I have almost anything you want. Yours to please, J. P. Austin, Bargain House. progressive ideas. There was hard ly a ripple of disturbance while he was President. Nor, until the present, has there been any dis turbance under President Steyn. Now' that Mr. Rhodes’ great ri val, President Kruger, I want to give a fair answer as to whether the latter is bigoted or not. From my talk with him I cannot say that he has so impressed me, but that he is so is an entirely just in ference from his policy. That pol icy would indicate that his ideas are, to say the ieast, antiquated. So far as I cau make out, his Gov ernment belongs to the beginning rather than to the end of the 19th century. It denies all political, municipal and civil rights to the majority of the population. A good way to present the Transvaal crisis to Americans is, as The Out look has already done, to put the mal-administration of the Kruger Government into a series of indict ments. These indictments have already been formulated in the Outlander demands: 1. The right to vote for the real legislative authority—the First Chamber of the Volksraad, not the impotent Second Cham ber. 2. Such a redistribution of seats for the gold fields in the Volksraad as will give them a proper representation. At pres ent thore is none at all. The Trans vaal now offers oue-fifth. but the Outlanders represent three-fifths of the people. They pay nine tenths of the taxation, yet they have nothing to say about the ex penditure of a penny. You Amer icans justly went to war with U 6 on account of taxation without representation. 8. A Constitution safeguarded from sudden changes. At present an ordinary resolution of the Volksraad may change the exist ing Constitution. 4. The heads of the Government responsible to the Volksraad. 5. Independence of the courts. At present, if a judge does not respect any chance vote of the Volksraad, he is dismissed from office. Chief Justice Kotze was so dismissed. This, in my opin ion, is the great demand: the trouble is not so much a matter of the franchise. The most nec essary reform is to free the judges from all interference by the Ex ecutive and the Volksraad. In all rightly governed countries the judges on the ben, h should be, like Ciesar’s wife, above suspicion. LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 1. 1900. RHEUMATISM CURED.

I was afflicted for three years with rheumatism of the ankle and joints to such an extent that lo comotiou was difficult, and I suf fered great pain. I was induced to try a bottle of B.

Six months have passed since the swelling and pain disap peared, and I will state that B. IL B. has effected a permanent cure, for which I am very grate ful. W. G. Whidbt, Atlanta, Ga.

Neither Roman Catholics nor Jews may hold office. 9. Reorganization of the civil service. 10. A free press 11 Proper schools. 12 Free trade. I ask the people of the United States: “Would you like to live without these necessities ? Is their lack to be endured longer by your citizens now in the Transvaal, as well as by the English, Ger man and French Outlanders ?” No; nine out of ten Americans in the Transvaal support the Out lander demands. That they are just is shown by their partial sanc tioning by the Boors in the pro posed lessening of the conditions of the franchise and of representa tion. Mr Kruger will not grant any political reforms unless he is forced to do so. I have always said, and still say, that he never meant to give any concessions. He does not moan to do so now. Ho will not give anything which he is not compelled to concede by force. Of course, in the events of his resigning from the helm, it might be possible to have quiet for a few years, especially if the Joubert Liberal faction came into power. While I say that might be possi ble, I do not see how the British government can now well recede from the present stand. If En gland does not defend the just rights of her subjects in South Af rica and elsewhere, the time may come when she will not have any subjects to defend. If you were to ask the majority of British people in South Africa about Mr. Chamberlain as Colo nial Minister, they would say that he has been wonderfully patient. I myself am surprised at the pa tience he shows to President Kru ger and to the Transvaal Govern ment. If Mr. Chamberlain goes back on his present position, there will be despair in the hearts of all colonial Britons, and especially in the hearts of those iu South Africa. In fact, that despair may be far more serious in its conse quences than is realized in Eng land. The Transvaal crisis, of course, is not a dispute between President Kruger and Mr Chamberlain alone. It is a conflict of two pol icies so radically opposed that peace will never he possible until one is driven off the field, just as was the case in the war between your North and South. That had to be fought out, and then there was peace. It was an act of grace when, in A THOUSAND TONGUES Could not express the rapture! of Annie E. Springer, of 1125 Howard st., Philadelphia, Pa., when she found that Dr King’s New Discovery for Consumption had completely cured her of a hacking cough that for many years had made life a burden. All other remedies and doctors could give her no help, but she says of this Royal Cure—“it soou removed the pain in mv chest and I can now sleep soundly, something I can scarcely remamber doing before. I feel likt? sounding its praises thro’ out the Universe.” So will every one who tries Dr. King’s New Dis covery for any trouble of the Throat, Chest or Lungs. Price 50 cents and $1 00.

At that time there were already in the Transvaal a large number of Blit ; ish subjects, black and white —, several thousand, I should sav. This giving back of the Transvaal j was supposed to have been a matter of policy. It was done on certain conditions; one was that the Transvaal could not make | treaties with or war against her neighbors without the consent of the sovereign pjwer. That was the suzerainty in 1881, and that was the suzerainty in 1884, al though there was au omission of the word. The thing itself, how ever, was amply emphasized in the following paragraph: “The South African Republic will conclude no treaty or engagement with any state or nation other than the Or ange Free State, nor with any na tive tribe to the eastward or west ward of the Republic, until the same has been approved by her Majesty the Queen.” Besides, the Convention of 1884 is meaningless without the preamble, namely, the Coavention of 1881. By the phrasing of that first Convention the inhabitants (not merely the Boers) of the Transvaal have in dependence and equality of rights. There have been many British blunders concerning South Africa One of them was the retrocession of the Transvaal The London “Spectator” the other day said that it was “a hideous mistake.” Two or three letters have since ap peared calling the “Spectator” to account for that expression, but it was the proper expression, after all. When the retrocession of the Transvaal, through Mr. Gladstone as Premier, actually occurred, an Americau paper—The New York Herald I think—called it “the finest thing in history.” When I saw that, I said: “If that is the finest thing in history, history has very few fine things to show us ” Now I am uot a man in favor of war. I think that if God means to punish us we shall suffer defeat. At all events we shall have a very bad time of it at first. Still, Ido not see any other way out of the difficulty than by war, if the Boors resist our jußt claitnß. War may be the only thing which will clear the air and enable ns to get along comfortably together. It is not just that her Majesty’s subjects have not the right to protect themselves; that they should he subjected to all sorts of disabili ties. As your countryman, Mr. Hays Hammond, says in a letter published this morniiiL', so I say: There can be no political stability or permanency in Smith Africa without, equality of civil lights throughout that country. The granting of the franchise alone would no; be the univeral panacea that some optimists expect it to be. Much stress is laid on the franchise, however, because it would protect the English and other foreign capital invested in the country. Ab the situation now stands, Mr. Hammond is right in his statement that the Boor Gov ernment has the power to expel any resident in the Transvaal and send him across the border with out trial, confiscating his goods at the same time. Mr. Hiimmonrt is right, too in pointing out the error of suppos ing that only Great Brilian is financially interested in South Africa. He shows that a large percentage of the stockholders of the great mining companies ara found in France, Germany, and on the European Continent gen erally, while some companies are entirely controlled by French and Gorman capital. This whole ques-; tion, therefore, is by no means a j purely English question in its po litico-economic aspect, As to to America, while your capital may not be very greatly invested, your exports, particularly of machin ery, are to a marked extent in volved in our prosperity. Young men also do the important techni- j cal work at the mines; almost all the mining engineers throughout South Africa are Americans., Nor do the whites alone suffer, j We should also protect the blacks. It is a fact that only within two or three years have any legal mar riage lawe been rtiade for the j blacks in the Transvaal. It has been said that the Out landers are entitely a floating i population; that they are in the Transvaal only so long as they can j make money, and that then they j will return to England. This is | not so. At least a quarter of the : Outlanders expect to remain per il mantly. Of course heads of busi | ness will retire, and men who have | made large sums of money will re- Headwear For Fieri and Hons Is Hit hard in the Bargain Annex. SO HARD THAT ALL PROFIT IS KNOCKED OUT!

Wherever, iu any part of the world, climate and soil favor it, most gold-miners become permanent settlers. Look at Aus tralia and California. The key to this whole question is the fact that Dutch policy and British policy are two entire op posite and opposing tilings. It is a case of civilization against uou progressiou. If it is necessary to fight it out by force of arms, I hardly think it likely that there would be ultimate defeat for those of us who are trying to secure quality and justice for men, ir respective of race and color. That is exactly our aim—justice for the whites because they are entitled to it, uud for the blacks because they have natural rights to it. I do not think that the present American prejudice against Great Britain in this matter is justified. I do not think that the people of the United States fully realize the moral support which Great Britain gave them in the late war, There is no better medicine for the babies than Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. Its pleasant taste venting pneumonia or oth'er seri ous consequences. It also cures croup and has been used in tens of thousands of cases without a single failure so far as we have been able to learn. It not only cures croup, but when given as soon as the croupy cough appears, will prevent the attack. In cases of whooping cough it liquefies the tough mucus, making it easier to expectorate, and lessens the sever ity and frequency of the parox ysms of coughing, thus depriving that disease of all dangerous con sequences.
