The disgraceful proceedings . which marked the prorogation of the legislature have reduced British Columbia to the level of those States across the boundary which fell under the control of the Popu- lists and disorder. Whatever opin- ion the members may. have held of. . the lieutenant governor, the respect they owe to the sovereign. whose representative he is should have re- strained them from the turbulent evi- d fi A disco] 3 hing | to re~ gret’about their participation in the war, for they recognize that their interests are so bound up with those of the mother country that'a danger to her is a danger also, to them. '|They may or may not be consulted about the settlement of South Af- rican affairs, but they will be con- tent if the declared dims are attain- ed—the establishment of British supremacy, equality of the races in such colonial self-government as Canada enjoys, equal taxation and the removal of the last vestige of slavery under any disguise. £ Is... But-there-are* others.— Montreal: Herald... \ Now let us see whether the pro- Boer papers which extolled the her- oism of Cronje’s army can grow equally eloquent over the sufferings from which White’s army has been delivered, Men who can fight as do the Boers, and whose wives go to bat- tle with them, are well worthy to wear the crown of “British citizen- ship. The-war will do more than blish British: sup 3 ie will The only race qi was the creation of the Dutch, not the Brit- ish settlers in Soutly Africa.

The war -was provoked, not by Great Britain but by the IPE pay ed. Whatever they may think of the man he has chosen as premier,- they have-not shown any. such lofty mor- al superiority to him that they were justified in le the legistati body of the province a bear. garden in order, to show their contempt for him. To use a familiar simile, they . are all tarred with the same brush, for they have,. with hardly an excep- tion, proved themselves to be as devoid of principle as he is. Badly off as is the province in the hands of.a man like Martin, it is little, if all, worse off than it has been in the hands of Semlin and Cotton, or than it would be in the hands of . their opponents, who no sooner saw a-chance to make a deal for office by.- throwing. pretended. principl¢ overboard than they stampeded to seize it. Their disrespect for Gov- - ernor McInnes appears to have no - this: whole disrep nobler source than resentment -at being. deprived of the plunder . of office which they imagined within their:greedy grasp. The election will give the people an opportunity to rid .themselves of gang, of Dutch which had been preparing for five -years to over- throw: British rulethroughout South Africa. and substitute Dutch ‘rule.

Mr. Massingham'sstatement that the outburst of loyalty in. the .colo- nies.is the fruit of Outlander agita- tion is.a lie, point-blank, and is an insult to every loyal citizen of, the either faction, and to put an end to the hybrid political. system which _ enabled such men to emerge from their fitting obscurity. The people now have an opportunity to align themselves in: parties -which -meah something, more than the . gratifica- Loni The col favored the war, because the wrongs suffered by their fellow-countrymen in the Transvaal made them boil with in- dignation, and they voluntarily aiued in the war because they could not sit. still while any Briton was thus treated. It needed no agita- tion of individual political + of tion by sy to arouse this —parties which rep' princip not pelf; public service, not private greed. The opportunity now ex- ists to judge political leaders by their fidelity and ability in advocat- ing and executing the measures on |. which they go before the people. Let the people seize the opportuni- - ty and they will be the gainers by * the misrule and shame which the province now suffers, for itis innate in - the hearts of the people and a bare statement of the wrongs endured was sufficient to fanit into a fierce flame of patriotism.
