THE " SPECTATOR " IN SOUTH AFRICA.
[TO THE EDETOI: OF TLIE 'SPECTATOR.']
Sin,—The following is from a letter I have received by the last mail from the Rev. John Smith Moffat, of Cape Town, a high authority on South African affairs :—
" There is an article in the Spectator, I think about March 3rd, which is so just and fair in spirit that we (Vigilance Committee) are having it translated into Dutch for wide circulation. It may decide a good many wobblers, though it is hopeless to argue with pro-Boer people. They are absolutely impregnable to reason. The Boers have been carefully primed with the idea that we will confiscate their property and put them under a political tyranny, and we have to set ourselves to controvert this foolishness, so foreign to all our ideas."
