NOTES AND COMMENTS.
THE TRANSVAAL CRISIS. President KRUGER apparently seems bent upon war and nothing else. We are told that he has withdrawn the offer of a five? years' franchise and now the telegram which ise publish states that he has even gone so far as to repudiate British suzerainty. We do not want to see war with the Transvaal, for, as we have pointed out, it must be a lung and bloudy struggle and will cost us much both in money and men, but when a pelty state attempts to throw off the last inces of its dependence, then we do not think that there can be any other way out of the difficulty than a resort to forcible means Even a to bring the erring one to reason. Pro-Boer paper has stated that públic sympa thy has been alienated from the Transvaal by this last impudent demand, and, this being the case, it is difficult to understand the action of Mr. KRUGER, unless, indeed, he is assurred of the support of some foreign power. The Orange Free State has disown
d him, as also has Germany, and yet he appears to be bent upon a war which, can only have one end unless he received power ful outside support. Where that support is to come from is, a problem that may well Occupy the minds of all
KANG YL.
só Kase Yi, the Lord High Extonioner, has come south, prepared to squeeze as many dollars as possible from the subjects of the Empress Dowager in order to refill the im poverished coffers of his Imperial mistress. We do not look upon his visit with joy, for so far as we can see it will nottend to reduce the state of lawlessness at present prevailing in the Two Kwangs, but will tend to augment it and drive the people to desperation. Matters are bad enough now, in all con science, when silk merchants are blackinailed openly by brigands, but when KANG comes along and adds his demands to those already made it will probably be the last straw. British trade has for years been. contend ́ing against illegal exactions upon the part of the Mandarins, even when they had only their own nests to leather, but now that they will have to pinch and squeeze to satisfy the rapacions.demands of Kase we may expect to see matters rendered infinitely worse.
Directly he has left the Two Kwangs a period of retrenchment will be inaugurated by the Mandarins in order to regain the losses caused by his visit and the Imperial Troops, useless as they are at the best of times, will be reduced to the lowest possible strength and so piracy and brigandage will | receive a hillip' such as has not been ex perienced for years past. KANG's advent cannot possibly be looked upon as anything but a grievous misfortune, not only to the Chinese, but to the foreigner as well..
