7 THE GOVERNMENT 0F CAPE COLONY.

Mention was made recently of Sir

Alfred Milner being possibly compell- ed to dismiss his ministry for treach- ery to British interests. As is well known. Premier Schreiner is at the head of the government which is sup- ported by the entire Africsnder, or Dutch element of the Colony. The recent trouble arose from the Schrei- ner Ministry giving passes to a con- siderable number of pupils from the Orange Free State who have been at- ,tending the colleges in Cape Tow n. to return tctheir homes. It is believed that they go home to join the Boer armies. l This treachery would properly be resented b the dismissalof Schreiner ;and his colleagues, but the questienol expediency comes in.

The alternative would be to put the

Saysthe Pioneer.- ~-Ii two candidates are in the ield

for election to the Federal Parliament, both ci about equal political intelligence

tion and the other not, we would cer-

viding both were Liberal candidates. In other words, the tact of a candidate lx- ing s prohibitionist should carry great weight, and the fact should inlneaoe any one of insumcisnt intelligence (ec- cording to his light) to he woolly mu- tsr ol his own political convictions ”

Some confusion of ideas apparent in

the earlier part of the Pioneers article is accounted for by the Pionoer’s seemingly frank confession of “insuf- icient intelligence.”

. We take it thatit was in no, way thefault of General Baller that the guns were lost at Colenso and hence his attack stopped .short when but half delivered. Still the blunder of 1(`cl. llong reflects upon the prestige

The public confidence in him is in a measure shaken. Gen.
