MARTIAL LAW AT CAPETOWN.
o To the Editor of the Trans. I Slli, —The cables tell us that martial law j is now supreme all over South Africa, j Capetown included. I notice that your ! contemporary publishes an article eulogis- ! ing this shameful removal of the last I vestige of civil and constitutional governI incut, as it also defended and applauded ! Wcylerism the other day. Truly it is \ keeping up its reputation for jingoism. , To-day is the second anniversary of the I outbreak of the war. The Tory Home i Government forced a war upon the Boer I Republics, and after two years it has not i altogether subdued them. Only by a ! return to that sound old foreign policy j pursued by Gladstone and Walpole among ! the Whig statesmen, and St. John among I Tory, can the national honor be repaired, I and this intense all-round suffering be ! reduced.—-I am, etc. J. U. Cox.
