NOTES AND COMMENTS.
+
The telegram we publish to-day, dated London 13th February, is satisfactory. Germany disclaims all idea of interfering with the autonomy of the Transvaal, recognises the absolute correctness of the conduct of the British Government in connection with recent events there, and declares that her relations with Great Britalri are and have always been quite friendly, FaHERE VON MARSCHALL- BINDERSTEIN, might have saved himself KRUGER had not applied for German the trouble of declaring that President intervention. Qom PAUL knows better than that. Much as he and his people dislike England and Englishmen they would Indnitely prefer English rule to German autocracy. If we were disposed to be critical we might take offence at the use .. of the word "autonomy" in the MAR- SCHALL'S official declarations. We all
vaal." recognise the autonomy of the Trans- What Germany, or rather her Emperor, seemed to question was that the autonomy was of a limited character and was primarily under the protection of Great Britain. What we wanted from the official spokesman of the German Empire.was the recognition of that pro- · tectorate.
The second telegram from London of the same date is not so 'clear as it might' be if Reuter kept us properly supplied with news, or even exercised some slight degree of judgment in the selection of the news he senda us President Kruger deprecates the premature publication of despatches, but of what despatches. In particular we cannot qalte tell. Perhaps of his own despatch accepting the Invitation to go to England. His Intention to do so and his promise may have excited a section of his people against him and rendered him an object of suspición. It may be that he objects to the publication of Mr. CHAMBERLAIN's despatches enume rating the grievances of the Utlanders, and that he thinks the object is to force bis hand. If the latter,; he is perhaps in the right in objecting, as, before he can be expected to make any. concessions to the English section of the Transvaal population; even before. these concessions can be fairly discussed and should be allowed to die out. Neither considered; all the present excitement
party is in a frame of mind at the moment to do justice to the case of the other side.
