"So much for Dr Jim of South Africa. Now for the other Dr Jim, the Royal and Imperial Dr Jim of Berlin, whose telegram of congratulation seems to have produced such a ridiculous fury iu the Fiuch-Hatton mind. Surely it is as plain as a pikestaff that the excellent Kaiser—who is surely the reincarnation of tome impulsive newspaper editor—has been displaying iu a more exalted station the very qualities which have landed our Dr Jim in Pretoria gaol. Hence amid the confused and clashing factions who shouo this morning for the Kaiser and against Dr Jameson, or for Dr Jameson and against the Kaiser, I find myself able to shout as lustily as any for both the dis tinguished representatives of lawless enter prise and magnificent indiscretion. It is very curious to note how close is the parallel between the Kaiser and the man over whose defeat ani capture lie exults. Both arc about the same age, both rule over terri tories of about the same area, both owe their position to the sword. Both, too, were, until their latest indiscretion, the sworn friends of those whose rights they ignorec'. No man was more popular with the Boers than Dr Jameson. No foreign nil' r was more of a per>so7ia grata io .England than the grandson of our Queen. Neither Boers nor Britons were prepared for the sudden manifestation of unfriendliness in a person whom we each regarded as a friend and ally. It was no doubt absolutely inexcusable from the point of view of international law and comity of nations for Dr Jameson to ignore the in visible frontier line traced by the Convention of 1884, but he can plead that since it occurred he has been kept in countenance by the Kaiser, who has paid him the sincere flattery of imitation by showing an equally reckless disregard of the provisions of the same Convention. And in both cases the two Dr Jims erred through the same besetting sin. They were both a little, just a little, too previous.
