The Afrikander- bund, which is as clearly formed to i istigate and aid rebellion as were the Fenians in Ireland and the Knights of the Golden Circle in the United States, has the audacity to hold a convertion and memorialize the British government on the treat- ment it shall give its fellow-conspir- The Dutch ministers plead against the removal of the Boer prisoners-to St. Helena, preferring to have them remain where the Cape rebels can plot for their es- espe.

Chief among these isa generous appreciation of the good qualities of an antagonist. The death of Gen. Joubert ‘in the midst of the ‘struggle i in South Africa bas called forth‘ the warmest encomiums on his character as a’ man and a soldier from, Gen. White,..against..whom he was pitted, and from the British newspapers, Gen. Joubert was a type of the South African frontiersman.. As were Miles Standish.in New .Eng- laod and Gen, Clark in the North- west, so was Joubert. in South Af- frica. It was his generalship which met the wiles of the savage with more cunning wiles‘and = car- ried the‘first principles of civiliza- tion into the untamed wilderness, among the still more untamed, sav- ages. It was such men as he who blazed the way over which thou:- ands have in the past,.and many more thousands shall in the future, travel in his footsteps into the great African plateau. A debt of gratitude is due to Joubert and his brother pioneers, which will be recognized when the heart-burnings oF the present strug- gle have phssed -i iwhy. It is to be regretted that this @ebt should be subject to a heavy discount for the attempt to set up a narrow oligar- chy in a land which nature had their busi: and the looting -of their farms. The Boer republics have.a.right.to the honors: of war, having made an open fight,and lost it, eventhough théy have betrayed their--semi-barbarism by violating the laws of civilized warfare. But ‘Vthe Dutch rebels have no-claim to “consideration and should ~be- :plead-: ing for mercy to themselves: instead of insolently dictating to. the gov-' ernment they have betrayed the terms it should grant to its open enemies. They have been granted equal hberty with the citizens of the empire which conquered them and have used that liberty to plot against their benefactors. Never was re- bellion more causeless, ingratitude more base. EDITORIAL NOTES. Germany does not want the fugi- tive Boers to trek into Damaraland and France does not want them in Madagascar. They only love the Boers at long range. The Miner has the most sensitive olfactories in the city,equal to those of Coleridge, who said that at Co- logne he could smell seventeen dis- tinct smells at one time. Kruger has annexed the Free State by proclamation and Steyn al- leges by another proclamation that its independence is still intact. Meanwhile Roberts holds possession of a large part of it and his generals daily bite off large chunks from Steyn’s domain. Governor McInnes’ reply to the Victoria merchants’ request for an early election and session of the legislature maybe summed up as ‘an intimation that the country must continue to suffer under Joe Mar- tin's t i rule until it finds made for freedom as ly as the plains and mountains of West- ern America. But other new coun- tries have owed their first develop- ment to such religious fanatics, for out what it wants. The -convention -of the Cotton party which was to'have been held -at Kam! has. been postp d to the Boers have “their part in the Puritans of New England: What the Boers won by arms in the first instance they have vainly sought to retain for themselus alone, disregarding the invincible logic of events, which decrees that the gates into a new country, once opened, shall never be closed. The laurels flung by his enemies on Jouber’ts grave are the best proof that, when the struggle is over, the two races now at war will dwell together in mutual respect, greater than they could have felt if they shad not fought, await the action’-of the ‘provincial Liberal convention on April 5, Cot- attended. Mr. Cotton must be realizing that his party -has gone to pieces: Great Britain unlocked the door to China and the United States pushed it wide open and tore it off its‘hinges. -- Neither should gtudge the other its share of the credit for the good work.
