Silver­ ware In granting to the nitlanders the rights demanded by Mr. Chamberlain they simply stipulated that England should not again interfere in their internal af­ fairs, and that the matter of suzerainty should be allowed to drop. These stip­ ulations Mr. Chambelain declined, and England's final attitude was. 1. The Boers must grant the internal reforms suggested. 2. The right of England to intervene in the internal affairs of the South African Republic must $ot be denied. 8. The suzerainty of England must be recognized. 4. "There are other matters of differ­ ence between the two governments which are not proper subjects for refer­ ence to arbitration." (By this sweeping assertion Mr. Chamberlain leaves the door wide open for endless intervention and controversy.) The Boers would have shown them­ selves undeserving of independence and devoid of self-respect if upon receiving Mr. Chamberlain "s dispatch they had not taken the initiative, for England during the entire negotiation had been steadily massing her troops in south Africa and upon the frontiers of the South African Republic. The ulti­ matum of the Boers was an act of folly only upon the assumtion that there still remained a possibility of settling the controversy between the two countries without sacrificing the independence of the republic. There was no such pos­ sibility, for assuming that the differences between the two countries concerning the grievances of the uitlanders could be satisfactorily adjusted, the differ­ ences concerning the independence of the republic and the claim of suzerainty were absolutely irreconcilable. Eng­ land was firmly resolved to insist upon her suzerainty and her right to intervene in the internal affairs of the republic, and the Boers on their side were equally firmly resolved to resist England's claims in both particulars. For the Boers to consent to the re-opening of negotiations concerning the grievances of the uitlanders would be a tacit ad­ mission on their part of the right of England to intervene and her claim of suzerainty. The ultimatum was simply seizing time by the forelock in the des­ perate attempt to make the best showing possible against the overwhelming forces of Great Britain. The effort is made to arouse sympathy by appealing to the American sentiment against "taxation without representa­ tion," but the history of the negotiations shows that the Boers offered to grant to the uitlanders the representation Eng­ land asked for them, provided England would not interfere with the independ­ ence of the republic. England declined to accept upon the terms offered, there­ by subordinating the grievances of the uitlanders to her claim of suzerainty. Therefore the struggle is not for repre­ sentation for the uitlanders--which was offered--but for the independence of the public, which was denied. A. R. De Fluent, editor of the Journ­ al, Doylestown, Ohio, suffered for a number of years from rheumatism in his right shoulder and side. He said : 'My right arm at times was entirely useless. 1 tried Chamberlain's Pain Balm, and was surprised to receive re­ lief almost immediately. The Pain Balm has been a constant companion of mine ever since and it never fails." For sale by Jnlia A. Story. .Liberal OflVr. The large and increasing circulation of The Iowa Homestead in this county is a matter for congratulation to the publishers and to good farming, for, of all the papers of its class in the country, it is easily the best and most helpful.
