H. S. WALLACE,

DRAW PARTY LINES.

The decision of the provincial
liberal-conservative conference at
New Westminster that the next
election should be fought on party
lines has aroused violent opposition
from the Victoria Colonist, one of
the leading assailants of the pres-
ent government. - It is also op-
posed by the Vancouver News-Ad-
vertiser, which makes the plea that
we already have three parties—the
Turner, Semlin-Cotton, and Martin
parties.

The underlying principle of con-
stittuional government on party
lines is that a recognized party shall
be held responsible for the perform-
ance of the pledges on which it goes
before the people and for their re-
sults. A party is generally under-
stood to be a combination of men
who advocate certain principles of
government and certain definite
measures in accordance with those
principles, which shall meet the exi-
gencies of the time. It is judged
by the voters according to its fidel-
ity to those principles and its ability
in putting them in operation, when
entrusted with the reins of govern-
ment.

This system has worked well in
federal affairs and party lines are
drawn closely in every province ex-
cept British Columbia. Each party
in each province stands in the same
relation to the whole party of the
Dominion as that of a division to
the army of which it forms a part.

The Boers had been preparing to
dispute the passage of the river for
five weeks by throwing up entrench-
ments on both banks ata point
where they would have the procec-
tion also of the timber and brush.
To attack the position, the British
infantry had to advance in the open
and it appears that the Boer fire of
musketry was so accurate and
steady that no progress was made
and this mode of attack was aban-
doned as involving useless’ slaugh-
ter. The British artillery appear to
have ed the Boer
to pieces and driven out the defend-
ers by a most persistent bombard-
ment and, after thus demoralizing
them, to have pushed a small force
across the river.
Reports so far received give no
clear idea of which direction the
Boers took when they retreated.
The general assnmption was that
they had withdrawn to Spytfontein,
where they had proposed to make
another stand, but the latest from
the front is that Cronje’s army is
in full retreat on Bloemfontein, the
capital of the Orange Free State.
The reported arrival of Lord Meth-
uen’s advance guard in Kimberly
tends to confirm this news and indi-
cates that no attempt was made to
check the advance of the relieving

force at Spyfontein.

is everywhere sustained and men
who act together in advocacy of
the same principles and measures
in federal affairs are found voting
together in provincial affairs. If
they do well,the mass of the people, |
who are not permanently bound to
either, continue them in office. ;If
their actions meet popular disap-
proval,they must give place to their
opponents. J

These are such elementary truths
that it would seem unnecessary to
re-state them, had they not been
lost to sight in this province. The
only substitute for party govern-
ment offered by its opponents is a

ig has also been raised and
thus it is only a matter of a day or
two until Britisn territory west of
the two Boer republics will be clear-
ed of the invaders.
The uprising of Boers in northern
Cape Colony furnishes work for
General Gatacre’s army, but the
forces now at his command and
those which are being pushed for-
ward to the Orange river line, in-
cluding the Canadian contingent,
should be ample to deal with them.
This rising rather complicates the
situation, but it is just as well that
Great Britain should make a grand
clearance of all the disaffected ele-
ments in South Africa while she has

George Colley received at the hands
of the Boers in 1881, the Gladstone
government sent reinforcements to
the Cape und dispatched General
Roberts to take command. But
Mc. Gladstone was hampered by
having made the annexation. of the
Transvaal an issue in’ the -election
of 1880 and by the presence in his
cabinet of John Bright, a Quaker,
who was conscientiously opposed to
war on general principles. His
Midlothian speeches had convinced
a large number of people that the
Boers were right; moreover he did
not wish to lose the support of John
Bright. Therefore, while General
Roberts was on his way to the
Cape, he arranged an armistice,
which was quickly followed by a
treaty, in which he recognized the
independ of the Tr 1 un-
der the shadowy suzerainty of the
British crown. When General Rob-
erts reached the Cape, he found
that the war was over and received
orders to return home. It is doubt-
ful if he even saw a Boer. i
Should he go to the Cape now, he
might have the same experience as
Lord Wolseley in the Zulu “war.
After the defeat of Isandula. that
general was sent out to supplant
Lord Chelmsford, who was then in
command, but before he reathed
the front the latter had retrieved his
réputation by the complete over-
throw of the Zulus at Ulundi. It is
possible that within a few days a
hattle may be fought on the Tugela
river which will decide the issue of
the war, and Buller may be wearing
the laurels of victory before his suc-
cessor reaches the scene of hostili-
ties.

system of government by’ politi-
cal cliques, for such are the News-
Advertiser’s Turner, Semlin-Cotton
and Martin parties. They are sim-
ply combinations of individuals
whose wealth, ability and energy
have gathered around them bands
of personal adherents,and who form
alliances based on personal interest
and expediency. The co-operation
of these individuals in previncial af-
fairs with those who are their op-
ponents in federal affairs must in-
evitably weaken their allegiance to
their federal party. It must, also,
go far towards preventing their ut-
terances from having the desired
effect in a federal campaign,for how
can Mr. Carter-Cotton, for instance,
point out without reserve the weak
points of a liberal who has been his
colleague in a provincial cabinet and
with whom he is likely to act again.

The only rational plan is to draw
the lines, define the issues, place
them squarely before the people and
let them take their choice.

The censorship has keen so effec-
tive in Natal that one can only guess
at the movements of General Bul-
ler’s forces in that quarter. The
little information gained shows that
the invading Boer forces have been
driven back to Colenso, after loot-
ing every farmhouse and towr. in
their raids, and are being concen-
trated to dispute the fp of the
Tugela The British are
doubtless making some movements
in preparation for an engagement
and the general wisely allows no
information on this subject to leak
out lest it come back to the Boer
commanders. If he but gives us
good news when he gives us any,
we can endure the suspense of wait-
