THE TRANSVAAL.
The countries of Sonbh Africa have
grown eo rapidly during the period of a
generation past that few people who
studied history end geography in their
sohool days live.and twenty years ego
realize that an empire with millious of
people now exists in those vague and
distant regions. England le all but

Dark Continent, aud justify the wisdom

Southern Cross, Daring two centuries
there hos been but one obstacle in the
way of her absolute eupremaoy South of
the Zambesi river, and that Was neither
the power of the Portumee nor the war-

for the first, she ho'cle a convenient aud

she will drive them inward or civilize
them ae she advances.
But England'e traditional opponent
and oompetitor in South Atrioa is a race
of hardy Dutchmen—Boers or farmers,
es they choose to oil themselves.
They probably do not number more than
one million in all the communities of
South Africa, but for nearly a hundred
peen they have refund amalgamation
and defied the imperial will and armies.
The Boer power 10 represented, besides
their scattered populations in the British
colonies, in two republicis : the Orange
River Free State and the Transvaal, or
South African Republio. The latter ie
the larger and more powerful State, and
it is the one with which England is now
contending. The Transvaal has an area
of 121,854 square miles, about the BiZ9 of
the two States of Alabama and
sippi. Ise population, exclusive of
foreigners, is 1,000,000, of which, how•
ever, only 300,000 are whites, or Boers.
Of this Boer population 175,000 0110 000(00
and mostly voters, sixteen years being the
age of legal majority. In the republic,
however, are several hundred thousand
Uitlanders (outlanders), or foreigners,
mostly English, who do not vote and are
notmitizens, whose presence ie the nue
of the present trouble but this will fall
into its proper place as we proceed. The
Transvaal during the page twenty years
has prospered greatly. It is a lofty
plateau between two great rivers, yields
abundant orope, has immense pasturage
areas, is Holi in minerals, and its people
have built railroads and made substantial
advance in oivilization. A few years ago
gold was disoovered, and in riot and pay-
ing deposits. A great eity,Johanaesburg,
has grown ap in the region oontiguoue to
the gold fields. These are the conditions
that surround the people who are facing
war with imperial Britaiu.
But we must tell the story of the Beira
in order to discover the causes whioh have
led up to the present crisis. In the year
1052 Holland, then a powerful 0000try,
practically owned bod 000trollsd the not
Indies and their trade. The ships that
went from the Hague to Ceylon and
Hindosten touohed at the Oape of Good
Hope for water. It was a good half -way
point for the Dutch shipmaeter, and the
Dutch Government made a station of it,
The possession of Atrioa was not sought.
But a few Dutoh farmers saw that the
Wide back from the shore were good, and
they went thither as emigrants. A
colony was established, and grew slowly.
The natives were feeble and uowarlike
Hottentots, and the handful of Dutch
Boers multiplied. In the awe of a
century they bad epread over the most of
what is now Cape Colony. The mother
country exercised little authority over
these hardy settlere. They learned to
love and exeroise liberty. Their religion,
then as now, was the Dutch Reformed
faith, the hardiest, frankest type of Cal.

The plough and the blunderbuss were
their coat of arms ; the Bible was their
constitution of State.
In 1795 France wrested the colony from
the Matti], and England won it from the
French. The Boers viewed these pro-
ceedings with disgust and passive ill -
feelings; but when the abolition of
slavery was proclaimed as a measure of
British rule their anger was kindled to
resentment. This was the real beginning
of the trouble. The "Slagtet Nek
