South Africa.
Mr Merrriman, in the course of a speech, opposed the re-opening of old sores and disapproved of Mr Stead’s proposal to promote a permanent record of the doings of Boer heroes. He described the Redistribution Bill as Dr Jameson’s vengeance against the Afrikander Bond. It was, he said, a bad return for Mr Kruger’s action in sparing his life. The speaker said he was disgusted with the hypocrisy of the Band clergy in pretending that the importation of Chinese would aftord a field for missionary enterprise. A Bond member has resigned to enable Mr Merriman to re-enter the Cape Assembly.
