THE niBCXK-g STAND ON Till: AFHl'AN WAR IIFARTlt.T 'MMI'Vl 1 To the Editor of The Tribune I Along with many others I feel that I owe you a debt of gratitude for your able, logical, clear I cut articles on the South African imbroglio. I have read them all, down to the one on the 4th and I Justice me to say that they are the newspaper editorials thal 1 hine ever known to Ippaar on any subject In any paper. They are In Striking contrast with many of your ents-one In own profession-who do r.ot seem properly to comprehend the In addition to your own articles your report of an Interview with the celebrated engineer, John Hay? Hammond, made everything so plain ihat he Who runs may reud.

following points I think i are as cle-ir as noonday to any unbiassed mind. First- The Transvaal IH not a republic, but a re? ligious oligarchy-that Is ae government of the many by the ftw, with no religious toleration. 8econd-The taxation of the i heavily, too-without representation, the i of which principle caused the American colonists I to rebel against the British government In 1776 Third- The English langunge-tho language of the was not allow? 1 to be taught in the schools nor used in the law courts. Fourth-The right of trial by one's peers was denied, none but Boers being allowed to serve on a Jury. Fifth -Before an Outlander could exercise the franchise he had to be a resident for fourteen years, and then haj to receive the consent in I Ing of a majority of the Boers In his polling dlvi sion, and after all that President Kr'iger and his Executive Council could cancel the whole arrange 1 ment.

What under the circumstances w.is there i for the outlanders to become dtsssna? At the be I ginning of the fourteen years he had renounced 1 aliegiuii to his- own country and was liable to military service on behalf of the Transvaal.
