Boer v. Briton

A CHICAGO OPINION.

The case Boer v Britain has seldom been pub more clearly and forcibly thun by Mr Thomas Gould, a much esteemed olb zsn of Chicago, who was deputed to reply to the Boar delßgabes a few weeks ago, His rep'y he handed bo them ia an open letter, which has slnoe been printed, and was as foll<>wg .

You issued (said Mr Oould bo the delegates) an ultimatum to Great Britain to with *raw the troops from her own territory within a given number of days. Greab Britain >">< having removed her troops as ordered by you, you immadiaWy invaded the nearest British territory, book forcible possession of it, Annexed ib by proclamation to your own country, established local government, io every bowa bhab you ocoupied, levied bixes on the inhabitants, and, iv faob, acted as absolute owners of the oounbry; This is whab you call fighting for your indepen deuce.

Some of those portions of British colonies have been occupied by you for six months. The British did nob invade your country. Oh 1 but you say that they intended to do so. This is & mere assertion, unsupported by evidence, We ate dealing with facts, and bbc facts are bhat you were tbe aggressor?, the invaders, end tho declare™ of war ; and yeb you come before us as a peaceful, agricultural people, who only want to be leb alone, and ask for our sympathy. The fact is, you began this war la a memenb of madness, wben you were suffering from whab bhe Amerioana call swelled bead 1 Now, whin bhings seem to be going againsb you, you run round the country for eym gatby. You play for big stakes and you aye lost. The game you hive been trying (so play is generally called * heads I win, tails you lose.* You invaded and annexed a neighbouring country. That was all right In year eyes. Providence seemed on your tide, and all was well; bub when bhe tide turned, ac any men bub lunatics knew it would turn out, you. cry out, " Spare our independence j we ore simple farmers/ This won'i. do, gentleman of bhe Boer deputations i The American paople are nob such fools as you think. You say you are fighting for the same principle that our American forefathers did in the end of the last century. I can use plain language as well as President Kruger, ■ud I say bhab statement la a deliberabe He. Our forefathers fought because bhey objected to be boxed without any representation in the taxing body. That system of taxation with* W representation is bhe very bhing that you Boers hive been carrying out in Soubh Africa, You have been taxing Englishmen, Ameri tHans, Germans, and all foreigners without giving them any voice in the government of lb. oounbry, In fact, yott are fighting againsb bhe principles bhab our forefathers fought for, and yon know ib j yeb you come here and ask for sympabhy! You want someone to pull bhe chestnuts oub of bhe fire for you, and you fix upon tha American people as the greatest fools—* comgUmeafc we Appreciate ab its right value. My personal opinion ii that the only mis take—bho erioiinal mistake, I would say— which the British Government made was in Having you from bbc Kaffirs, who, but for England's iaberferenoe, would have wiped yen off the face of the earth,

The Belle of The World's Ball.

Mr W T Stead, in the Review of Meviews for Maroh, says the mosb notable event of the past month, one of the vot significant indications of the trend of the new century, Is the sadden decision taken hy the Kaiser to send his brother, Prince Henry, on a personal mission to the United States. All bhe world is a ball root., In which the various States are perpetually changing and choosing their partners. Daring tbe nineteenth century, Columbia, a Staid Parltan maiden, sub geared In her Western alcove, a mere --"spectator rather than a participant, in tne festive dance cf the other guesbs. Bat no sooner does the new century dawn than the qnondam staid and demure, re tiring Parltan maiden undergoes a transformation as greab as that of Cinderella in the fairy story, and, leaving her modest retreat, is recognised every where ac the belle of the ball. All snltor* crowd ronnd her, leaving her elderly sister Britannia to meditate mournfully npon the soperlor charms and attractions of yoa; h. The visit of Prince Henry Is but the firsb of a long series of missions which will leave bhe Old "World for the New, of which tab England take good heed.
