Me turn had been favored with a keen sense of the ludicrous, he would have been content with the energy with which h?? had served his employers, and laughed over the Idea of w innlnr; the Red Radge of Courage? with the help of lawyers In a libel court. What a merry, mm ? fortable world this would be if men would not persist In taking themselves and one another so seriously I THE END OF A FARCF.. The most conspicuous example of playing at fVH.r lias been the Transvaal rab? at every stage. In Its earliest phase It was a political Intrigue with the bank accounts of a pair of millionaires behind it. Next it was a reform movement In Johannesburg under lenders who summoned Jameson only to recall him when it was toe lata and then to abandon him to his fate. H was then an Ill-organized raid, with officers carrying 'heir cipher dispatches in their saddlt-bngs and troopers fighting on empty stomachs when exhausted by hard riding, while their allies in Johannesburg had tied them? selves up in an armistice. Next came the con? densatimi to death of a group of capitalists worth in the aggregate something like $12,000,? (((.?, and thHr subsequent reliase after an tnonaoOS ransom had been paid. Finally came the trial and imprisonment of Jameson ?nd his officers, and th.? Parliamentary Inquiry which has been ln progress since January. From beginning to end It has boon a sham fight, whether conducted by financiers, revo hltlonlsts or Investigators, with only one gen? uine passage?the conviction and punishment of Jameson and the officers. Th? final chapter of this series of burlesque performances ls the Parliamentary Investiga? tion which is now ending. The chairman's re? ??orb which will be debated next week In tho Commons, will follow the lines of the Investi? gation conducted by the Cape Rari lament, and thf publl. tarili be little the wiser In consequence of this protracted Inquiry. Mr. ?Veil Rhodes irlll again be pub?icly censured, and with him j gli the conspirators who wore convicted a year ggo by their own cipher dlspat? bes In Stock Exchange jargon. Solicitor Hawksley will be j ?nsaally reported to the ?OUS4 as a witness who refused to reveal the remalnin?. batrh of cipher dispatches, and then the whole subject trill bs aropped with the consent of th?? two front ben. Ins, after a futile attorni.t on the part of a demoralized Opposition to vindicate ' the dignity of the Commons. Everybody, ? s> cept Mr. Labouohere, has had enough of the Investigation, and Is anxious to have the farce ended. The committee has been playing at V ar like the millionaire Intriguers, the troopers, the revolutionists and tho mining speculators; and the public is Impatient to have the curtain rung down. 1 ? F.
