THE HOME ELECTIONS.

SPEECHES BY POLITICAL LEADERS ON THE BOER WAE. Home papers to hand by the last mall ar« pretty well devoted to speeches by politicians of all shades of opinion *excerpta from some of which we give below. Mr. Balfour speaking at Manchester and ', dealing with THUPKOBUEM IN SOUTH AFRICA said, I cfinnot read history as Mr Moriey has done. I cannot believe that the onion of races was In proo sb of being settled by the Boer Oligarchy which refused th moss elementary righbs toitß BU>j;d.a, and which gave to ivary man of Htiti-b birth throughout the whnle of Sooth Africatha sense and the-just, sense thai men of Ma "own raca and apivchwero being treated In theßepublics undar the Q ipenV SaserufntyUke »n inferior race. I say and I esy it confidently, that as, lon& »k that score w»s allowed to run,, that fester to Infeot the body pjluio of South Africa, Ifc was absolute folly to talk of the union' 2*! *h»! races (hear, heal), « was folly to talk as Mkl , Morlpy talks of the gradual healing up of ancient differences These were being ambittered and aggravated every day,, and I think it . absotrateiy impossible to say what course the disease would have taken if it had not been for the drastic remedy which the action of-tho-4wo Republicsforcedupp.iLj this country (hear, hsar) Ido not wish j for a moment, to prebend that the race problem that w-.» have to deal with ia an easy or a sample problem, to be settled by aPe-'pjtehor two from Downing-street, or by weil-dovlsed epeechea either h«re or In the oolone?; but I do nofc se© that, difficult »h the problem ia now, ifc is not, at all events uncier present circumstances, Inso'uble; whereas, under the conditions imposed upon South Africa by Mr Kruger and his advistrs io w;8, so long aa their policy wa» co-axistenb. absolutely and hopelessly insoluble (hear, hea>). Lord Kimbarley in a speech in Essex dealt with the

WAE IN SOUTH AFRICA as follows:r-Taking a. few of the burning questions, th« first was obviously Sonth Africa. Whether the war was justifiable or not no man could certainly say. Ihey oonld only have an opinion as to whether the ne^Qtiatioßs were well conducted or nofc. Th y believed they were not (cheers). Mr Chamherlain said the despatches were well-considered. He (Lord Kimberley) never doubted that they were carefully considered by the Cabinet, bat what he complained of, was this, that the very time when Despatches offering fair terms to the T ansvaal Government were on their way they had speeches for the Colonial Secretary of a mosr provocative kind. There wan one maxim In the old diplomacy to the effect that when one had a delicate matter to perform, and when engaged in negotiations with another Power, fee should avoid saying anything which should prejudice the negotiations lest ifc might Irritate those with whom he had to deal. Could anyone doabfe that the expressions that Mr. Chamberlain made in some speeches at tha time were the very expressions which were most likely t» render the negotiations wlthoub any good result? He had no doubt that this course had a prejudicial effect upon the mind of Mr Krnger and the other Boer leaders,

Mr Austen Chamberlain in his address to the e'ectorsjof Wblverhampton delivered himself as under:—-

The South African War will always be memorable as the first instance in our history of the active cc-operafclon of all the creafc self-governing Colonies wirh the Mother Country in a common Ptrus^le in dofecce of British rights and British honour The Empire," hitherto Htfcle more than an aspiration, has thus become a reality, and a great fitep forward has been made towards ihab closer union upon which are founded oar best hopec for the future of the Bdtish race

Mr Brrre 1 at Manchstet gave \h opirjlon as under :—The war was over at least Lord Salisbury eaid it was—and the question whether it w»b inevitable or not, or how far diplomancy was to blame was for the historian. He could tell Mr Chamberlain that the country had already made np Its mmd that the War was In pyitable In this sense, that, the moment the Queen's territory was invaded, the nation made op its mind that the invasion must be repelled. That being so, it was for tha electors to consider how far Minis* ters had shown thafe foresight and knowl edge which they had to expeen, Had Lord Lanedowne and the o; her Ministers fehown that foresight and knowledge (no^. They had not*. As to the armexa tion of the two Republics, he said people might difter as to what might happen In the future, bnt there was not adissentient voice in the Liberal camp as to annexa* tion. Anneaca'ion was the only thing. Bnmpty Dampty had fallen off the w»U, and could not be pat up again.

Millions Easily Made.

Strange stories are afloat in London about the coining to England of Charles Yerkes, once owner of all street railroads surface and elevated, in Chicago. It is said that 'Baron' Yerkes* as Chicagoace cal! him, has Hold the greater part of his interests in the States, and is bring ing fifty million dollars,, or £10,000,000 to this, country i» hard cash. What will he do with it t City gossips say! that he is going to make a great bid for tramway and railway concessions in London, that he intends to link tsp all the means of passenger transport in the Metropolis as he has done in Chicago, snd realise another mighty fortune. In the handling of such matters 'Baron' is undoubtedly expert—too €xpetX t his enemies are wont to declare. When he began io swallow the traction companies of Ctue»go he first made friends with the easily corrupted alderman of that pro greesiffi city, and thousands thus spent in bribes became Millions in his bank account. Has b e dared to attempt to ground b%it fe L^adon in this fashion I Eomoir says he has dangled £10,000* before the astonished and indig nast gaze of certain of our hottest County and Common Councilors. Whatever faults of aeal the municipal rulfirs of London have Bhow% they have ne?er descended to the level of New York and Chicago bribe takers*
