THE NEW DR. JAMESON
HERO OF FAMOUS RAID BECOMES
PREMIER OF CAPE COLONY.
a Triumph for British Imperlallsm—

Love for the Respire.
e'It I had been successful I should
bave been forgiven," said Dr. Jame -
$on, bitterly, atter he had been sen-
genced to 15 months' imprisonment
icor his famous raid. Long ago the
gallant doctor was forgiven, even
(hose whose duty it was to punish
kim for a desperate deed admired the
urage and resolution which had
rompted it. As for success, that
0o has come to Dr. Jameson in
forms. He never was any -
but a sucoessful man, even
hen in Holloway Jail. To -day
men the news of his triumph in
e announcement that ho has be -
me Premier of Cape Colony, sue,-
eding in that high office Sir John
ordon Sprigg. No ono can doubt
e significance of this sudden
ange in the leadership of the chief
uth African colony. It means that
perialism is triumphant, that the
airs of the colony will be ad-
nistered by a man who set Cecil
odes, the great Empire-builder,
-a model, and by one who is
orthy to follow the great Imper-
list, says The Mail and Empire.
remier Jameson may lack the pro-
ud sagacity and the almost poetic
ness of imagination which made
I Rhodos one of the first men of
his generation, but in his love for
the British Empire and, in his hope
for South Africa he does not suffer
'by comparison.
Progressivists Triumph.
Dr. Jameson's triumph is a triumph
f9r the Progressive party in Cape
Colony, and the defeat •of the, party,
which, under Sauer, and later under
it Gordon Sprigg, has dominated
e CO ry for many years. The
rogr ' is are -chiefly Anglo-
axonsa class which ten years
ago w have been called Uitland-
eee in the Transvaal. Their politi-
41 opponents represent the Boer
;element, as well as a considerable
number of Britishers. When Sauer,
,Suspected of aiding his Boer friends
in the Transvaal, was thrust out of
office, there was no •change in party,
Ibiat a mere shifting of loaders. His
duoceseor, Sir John Gordon Sprigg,
deems to have failed, at least in the
iding of two spirited horses. The
people have come to the conclusion
'that ke was showing -too much favor
to the Dutch, who for years had had
kiimgs pretty much their own way,
anise to a gerrymander which per-
tted the party in the minority to
have a majority in the Legislature.
$ince the war the .trouble has been
tattled, and at last the Progres-
thvists are in charge. Sir Gordon,
e veteran politician of the Cape,
deserted at a critical moment by his
Cabinet, has been forced to succumb
,to Jamoeon, whe has been a member
Of the House which he now leads
only three years. "Thus "the old
order changeth." From the new we
are justified in expecting much.
Asamesoo, the Doctor.
- Leander Starr Jameson, C.B., the
.ew Premier, was born in I^,dinburgh
1 years ago. After a brilliant
ledical university course; in which
e won a scholarship and a gold
modal, he heard of an opening in
Kimberley, and for that distant city
he set forth. Those who have re-
garded hint as an irresponsible ad-
N‘enturor, lit only to he the tool of
abler mets, do an injustice to his
professional c•minr.ne(.. 1•'or years he
was regarded as about the most
skilful doctor in South Africa. Pre-
sident Kroger, of the Transvaal, yeas
nee of his pat ion s -,President
%trend, of the Orange hree State,
was another, and a third was Loben-
grrla, the famous Mutabele, not to
mention CeciI Rhodes, who admired
the doctor before he began his
friendship with hien. When, largely
through friendship for Cecil Rhodes,
he finally gave up his practice, Yo
was earning about $25,000 a, year.
Mb:slums to Matabelolaad.
I)r. Jameson had met Lobengule
and succensfuly treated him for somd
savage disorder, when Rhodes found
his plans for the opening up of
Mashone land balked by the obstine
ncy and hostility of the Mataboli
chief. In his difficulty he .turned tQ
Jameson, who gave up his practice
and started into the bush to reason
with Lobengula. His mission was
srlccoss ul, so he returned and i'
sunned his professional duties. Nee
long after this, Lobengula again be+
came difficult to deal with, .and
blocked Rhodes' great colonization
scheme south of the Zambesi. .Ones

influence over the bloodthirsty old
chief again won the day for Rhodes.
On his return he finally cast in his
fortunes with the British South Ale
rica Company, at the head of which
was Cecil Rhodes, and soon distin-
guished himself by a successful race
to Gazaland. Portugal wa about,
to establish a protectorate over this
important district, and had received
Lord Salisbury's consent to the
move; but the British South Africa
Company, feeling that Britain was
giving away .something she did not
know the value of, despatched Jame-
son to the 0aza.land chief. The doc-
tor covered 600 miles of jungle. and
swamp in 43 days, arriving in time
to win the chief to his side, so that
when the Portuguese representative
reached the scene a few days later
he found himself forestalled.
TM. Jamieson &aid.
The famous Jameson Raid is so
fresh in the public mind that it
need only be very briefly reviewed.
The Anglo-Saxon population of the
Trandvaal, which paid nine -tenths of
the State's revenues, had for years
been the victim 0! Beer oppression
and extortion. Ia a `score of ways
the operations of the British wore
hampered, their rights infringed. In
reeponee to a monster petition Which
they presented to the Volksraad, the
bearded burghers laughed and jos
ed, After subfnitting to injustice for
years, those in Johannesburg resol-
ved to strike. a blow for liberty. Re-
presentative • citizens, among them
Cecil Rhodes' brother, invited Jame-
son to assist by appearing at the
proper moment with a body of
Bechuanaland police. This was the
excuse of the ill-fated expedition. It
set out in the- last week of Decem-
ber, 1895, And on Jan. 2nd sur-
rendered to an over -whelming force '
of Boers. '',The expected reinforce-
ments from Johannesburg bad not
arrived, and 'thus ended inglorio,uply
the famous Jameson Raid. The
leaders were sentenced to death, but
later were surrendered to the British
Government. After a great trial,
'Jameson was sentenced to fifteen
months' imprisonment. After ser-
ving about half his term, his health
became so feeble that he watt re-
leased, and returned to South , Af-
rica in time to servo through the
war. When peace was declared Dr.
Jameson entered the Cape Parlia-
ment as member for Kimbertley.
To -day he is powerful and respected
in a land where once there was a
price upon his head.
