y love and respect for the rights of the weak. What Monomotapa was to the Phoenicians and Arabs, Witwaters-rand is to our present gold seekers, and to most of the Outlanders—a temporary land of exile, which they only endure for the sake of thegold. Can we picture the wise King Solomon demanding the franchisefor his subjects in the realms of the Queen of Sheba? The Boers do not ask for mercy; they ask for justice. Those whokeep up the unfair agitation against the South African Republicare the last men, however, to listen to the voice of righteousness or tobe guided by any noble impulse; political corruption is the seed theysow, and by their unexampled opportunities they feel confident ofreaping their criminal harvest. Up to the present they have gatheredonly tares; a still more bitter time of reaping has yet to come. In thepast the Boers have been able to fight against immensely superior odds.They feel that the final victory will be theirs, for they know they haveright on their side.
