A curious example of the Boer attitude towards the Out-

landers is contained in the report of a meeting held at Boksbnrg on Wednesday. It was there declared that as the total number of the Boers was only forty thousand, while the Outlanders in Johannesburg alone numbered fifty thousand, it was impossible to grant a general extension of the franchise. The use of this admission as to the unen- franchised people being a majority of the population as an argument against their' enfranchisement, illustrates strongly

how little the Boers realise that the State with the broadest basis is the most secure.
