Boers Yield But Terms Narrow in Peace Essay
A long, opinionated note recalls the Boer War ending after two and a half years of struggle aided by Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and indirectly the United States. It lists peace terms, including local language use, self government for Transvaal and Orange River, and a 15 million dollar British fund for farms. The piece also reports political chatter in Burt and Bancroft, noting a potential switch of Peter Owen to the Democratic ticket and commentary on editorials. It closes with a clipped medical anecdote about alcohol aiding carbolic acid poisoning from the Monthly Cyclopedia.
