DE WET IN POLITICS,

Hermit with Possibilities."

The following sketch of De Wet appear od in a recant issue of the Bloemfontein Post

A decently tall, thin, loose-limbed man, walking with a qucar swagger that tella of the saddle-life. His faça is rough, furrow- ́éd and sun-bitten, the whiskers cut down to a rough bunch of hair at the point of the chin-an imperial in the making. The oyes, deep sot, gray and steadfast, are always half covered in a sheath of heavy lid, and the fade, shot as it is with a million wrinkles, breaks like starred glass what the bass laugh comes clothes are the clothes of a second-grade artisau, but they

do not matter in the least. De Wet could wear sack cloth, but you would never pass that fate.

He is no politician,, as he will toll you, and only the argent counsels of the lenders of the party dragged him to the Brandfort Congress.. It is very possible that they 1376 regretted their importunity before the close

of the meeting, for his speech was not at all what was wanted. He has the capmoity of speaking in rough, blunt sentences, which are threaded with a queer pawky humour as rare as it is pleasant. At Vereeniging those who my and heard him bedr witness to an attitude that was wise, meliorate, and sereno. And A Brandfort he told his hearers, men seathing with wrongs--n few real and the balk imaginary

This is not the talk of an opportunist, and De Wet has never you told the truth to serve the hour. His position among his own countrymon is peculiar. He has rosolutely declined to take any active steps to agisté, and he inap parently convinced that the breathing apell the country is--or was having from politics is doing us no great harm.

is a safe mi, man who lont hos extremea in politica, and his word is nl- whys on the side of moderation, At Vereeinging it, was De Wet who applied the ice of logic to the burning spirits of the ineconcilables. Seat

There are alover-mes-in-the-Dutch party Hertzog, Flachor, and tho rest-but they are mostly lawyers, town men, who do not touch the imagination or the sympathy of the backvellers. De Wot, however, is always, the farmur, a monn, of their own class, a leader, too, who has led them to something like victory. And, they know that when he speaks to them in that rasping voice of his, macy of the soil that bred them all, they hear a man who has suffered and dared..

De Wet may be no politican, but he has statesman, and it is to the wakings of him his countrymen will tum in a few short months. At present he is but a hermit with possibilities.
