that Iproducl d the tihal- outburst of
hostilitie'..
'The fEEt'ion of South Africa for
which the Blritish al Dutch are
.-trtttggling it described as a great,
wilI, dry, barre coutttltry, with an
exceednilly sm.al loplulation of
.white men, andt a popt nlation of
Iilai.ks whiich is inot large in colnpar
ison) with its area. This area is said
to contain 1,400,000 squaret miles,
andi that within its liits there are
iiinch less than tiie milliton white
linlt, Dutch, English, IPortugese,
with a handful of G(erans- or not
as great a population as Philadelphia
contains. One )half of this contlir
is unfit for either agi icultnre or ian.
chiilg; the re.t, thou mh too dry for
agrtctii ure, is fit for s-eep, anutl cat
tie, resen liing the ranichlittg districts
of Nei as-ka and \Vyonmint. Thliere
are Io loteICls, nor any inantifact
ulirte, exctept a few locall illndusltriesC
iii the towns. Untlil recently, the
entire ouccttlnttoni of the countlrty,
wherein its wealh lt ay, was the rear
inlg of -heepl and cattle. Anld lelig
an occupation which gives ernploy
ilent to few ,ersons in proportion
to the area os r which the ftloctks anld
herds feed, the population ihai int
rteasedi very slowly in thei last two
and a lialf centuriers.
South Africa was discovered at
the end of the fifteenth century by
Bhartholomew Diaz, six years before
the di scoverv of Anmerica. Ihe tirst
E.uropleatn seitlement was pllanted at
Sfala, ont the soth l-east coast, by
the Pnrtngese, in 1505; the next Iv
the D)utch at Cape Town in 1 5i2.
\Vhlen England captured the Cape
Iitriig tihe wars with Napoleon, iil

27,1KJ0 w hites in tie entiirie colony.
After the ear, Ertglritid paid the
iDuitch thle suiim Ef six inilii )s, iser
lig,l , for the couintry, and. settlers'
iniuediately began to come in. Bull
the irtilux of these settlers wis inot
as great as tile natural increase of
the Dlnt(+h polpulatitni, and to day the

eii far away t tthe northl east, where
they couiild find lasturage for their
hlr.-tS anid live accoirding to their

lf, andii, after at\vsanciig-t beyolnd the
Ihot ers of the Colorry, spretad out
over a vastl tract of coulltry seven
hlits-:Ied inlieS loig by three hundred
broad.
This in:migration of 18l36 is
known as the Great Trek, and the
Ditteb s ho formed it are ustially de
scribed by their own name of Boere,
a word meanitng farmers or peasants.
This is the name lty wlhilch they !have
ever since be-n called, in contradis
itinction to the L)utch who remained
in Cae ('olony. Someie of the emi
grsits afterwards advanced farther
1ito the il!derness, leyond the Vaal
river, which courltrV afterward took
the nanle of Transvaal, meaning
across tl e Vaal, or beyond the Vaih.
Four different aimed collisione
have taken place.between the British
arnd- Boers from time to time for the
possesston of the unapproprialted
partS of Africa. Buat in 1852 a trea

From these two recognitions of Boet

to te overrun at last iby a vast hile
ot Englis.h, Australian and Aumeri

Ti:te itnruigrlnts, on the other
hliand, compllilained bitterly that every.
i\ here else in SoiuthI Africa a settler
could vote after two or three years
re-idence. 1\ hv should he tint liave
the situe right in the Tran vaal:
'The Boers aniswered this by sat inli
that the Tratinsaal sa as the 1iv t)part
of South Attrica where the inew set
tiers were tiecotminog mlioie iuilltlelritll
tlhan tile ,old citiz,-tns; ani that an
admission (of these settlers to the

would mean a conmplete tiranlsfr of
polltical control to a niew set of peo.
pie, d:iferii:g ini thoughts, habits,
taste anid langt:ate fr.min the folk
Ilthat had theret fore piossessd the,
lanit. Under these coniditions the
settlers hecanie de contented. 'They
com.'plained that they were itither
given a good adliiil istrattii tonor the

That bejrig much richer than the old
tiurghers, tihev paid eaily all tIhe
taxatiin, but hat 4l1 voice tIt the dis.
iposll of the revenuie. Agitations,
tending toward reforms, were tried.
but they maIe little headway in tie
Liegls.iture, wlhich consisted chi cily
of old-fashioned Boers.
A plan was accordtliigly formed
for risig in arms againat the gov
erniment, at the hleadi of whiiih was
Mr. ('ceil Rhodes, Ptrite Minister
of (Ca'e Colull', anid director ,of the
Briti h SouIth African Corn p:iny.

carry it out. ,J:ltlueColi was to attack
JohiianliesblUrg m ithli a force of a:med

day was set fr the latter part of
I)ecenbiler, 1h5t. The plot failed.
Jaimeso, n was stoPl(,iie by a hiastily
tuimmionedt Beer force, an:d obliged,
with all his men, to calit i!ate.
All of thie recent troubles iii onoIh
Africa, includintgi the pre'ient aar,
are 'due to thie Jatnesoni Raid. It
roused the )Dutch feeling to fever
heat. The Orange Free Sialte, ' hicti
had ulp to that tltue eoiidelned lihe
exclusive policy of Presidetit Kru
ger, coincluded a treaty with the
T'rantsvaal, Lby which the two r'e
1ublies iuoiinil thselnselve to sltpport
each otiler if .unjustly attacked.
'ThIe two political parties iere iow
divided by race Teeling, which be
camne identified with the two races,
ai.d passioni ran high amiong thenim.
Things went on thus from bad to
worse. The Boers seeing that noth.
ing could be accomplished Iy neg,.
tiations with Britaini, steadily pre
'arod for war; until finally, seeing
that England was increasing her
army in South Africa, and feelting
that this meant the overthrow of the
Dutech government in tile Trassvaal,
hostithties began, anitd the Boers. so
far, have had the best of it.
The whole situation may be thus
summed up: England is attempting
to redress the grisvances of Bnritish
hubjects who, live in the Transvaal,
and who are deprived of the right of
uiffrage. But'beneath this is the
real question-Brltish versus Beoer
thle supremacy of one or the other in
-oeth Africa. lThe Boere know this
sad are making a gallant struggle.
Eongland has no right to interfere in
the ffatir of the Tranasval. By the
Convention of 1884 theSouth Afrioap
