sir Alfred Milner's Record

Lord SeSbornp, replying to the toast Of hi? health at a dinner tendered him by the Liberal Union Olob, said:— We were implored to be conciliatory. Judged by any rational standard, by an abstract utanda-d, he could think of nothing more conciliatory thin th» terms of peace to which hs had referred, bat the men who used that term wer? mainly emotional men. They wished for some kind of fairy influence which would suddenly dissipate the whole atmosphere crested by the straggle between two races, and which by a stroke of the magician's wand would bring mea to a frame of mind in which »!I would be completely forgiven and forgotten. That was a perfectly chi merical idea, If wo were to grant the e&feremt measure of conciliation advo cated by the most extreme pro-Boer in this Kingdom, if we were to give to the Boers complete independence, would we produce conciliation in that sense of the word ? The result would be that every self respecting Boer would hate as just the same, and despise ma a great deal more. (Hear, hear). A struggle of this kind, a straggle caused by a real conflict of ideal of the magnitude he had endea voured to depict, could only be con ciliated by time—time working io the atmosphere of justice and freedom governed by firmness. (Qhaers) We were invited to exercise conciliation in another direction. We were asked to conciliate our enemiea by the rpcall of Bir Alfred Milner. (dries of ' Never.') He" was only »t a loss to esti mate in his OT/n mind whether sacb » pracfidarn would be most unwise or most dishonoarftble. (Oheers). He conld think of nothing more dishonour able for a Government than to throw over the servant who served it loyally {Hear, hear)! He could think of nothing more unwiae than to throw over the man who understood the Sooth Afri can problem as hardly any other living man understood it; to throw over a man who bad attracted to himself the bnthuaiaatic confidence and devo'ion of nil the British and of thousands of the Butch In South Africa—(cheers) —to throw over the man who in defeat and victory had preserved tbR calmest judgment and the moat steadfast confi dence ; to throw OT9r the man who had performed the roost extraordinary feat that had evpr been practised, he believed, since Parliamentary consti tution began—the man who had stummed two invasions without in fringing the Constitution ; and who on one occasion bad done that after a Government had the confidence of, and had! baan largely elected by ths men who we'coraed and invited the in vaders; Wss it wonderful that; those with whom we had been contending did not like Sir Alfred Milner? He wai the man who in South Africa had done more than anyone else to over throw and render impossible that ideal of a. Dutch Republic. (Cheers) Gould we think that the Bobvh would be conciliated or would respect us one whit the more if we threw over our champion in South Africa ? They would despise us moi'P, and hate as equally. (Cheers.) It was quite trns that the present was a trying moment. The Dutch were essentially what history ought to have taught as —a, doggedj determined, and brave race. Bat if they were dogged, so were we. Tf they were bravp, so were we. (Oheers.) And there was far more hope for the future in South Africa that thegfl two races should at lasi under stand that they were both equally dogged, determined, and brave, than there was in the vapouring suggestions of all the Peace Committees in South Africa. (Oheers) The B-ws, it is said, did cot like Sir Alfred Milner ; bat he (Lord Selborne) verily believed fchafc the time would come, whatever tbefr personal feelingg might be towards him, when they would recsgniso from hii rule, not oaly that he was firm, eowageoa!?, and capable, but that he waa just and wise. (Cheers.)
