The Pro-Boers held a meeting in London in the Queen's
Hall on Wednesday night, to which admittance was only by ticket, great precautions being taken that no element hostile to the speakers should be admitted. Any person who did penetrate into the Hall and made any protest in regard to the views expressed by the speakers was immediately turned. out. Personally, we greatly regret that any opposition was shown to the holding of the meeting, as it would be im- possible to provide a more convincing proof of the hollow- ness of the assertion that the great moral forces of the nation are behind the Pro-Boer movement than that afforded by Wednesday's gathering. We do not deny that there were some most excellent and well-meaning men on the platform, where Mr. Labouchere presided, but when the heart of the nation is really stirred we shall not find, the Member for Northampton given the post of leader.
