323. lappuse - What South Africa requires more than anything else is stability — stability in political conditions, stability in economic conditions, stability in industrial conditions. Stability alone will enable the farmer securely to reap where he has sown ; stability alone will give security to the investment of the merchant and the producer ; stability alone will improve credit ; stability alone will tempt the investor back to South Africa. But true stability will remain impossible so long as there are five...
200. lappuse - Reporting to the Secretary of State on the 9th of May, 1876, the High Commissioner, Sir Henry Barkly, says of the Basutos : — Probably no administration of native affairs in any part of the world has been attended with greater comparative success, and there can be few more gratifying spectacles than that of a tribe numbering some 150,000 souls, who a few years ago were the terror of their neighbours, living peacefully, contentedly, and prosperously, under the rule of half a dozen magistrates of...
291. lappuse - ... became separate and independent dependencies of the Crown, and the dismemberment of South Africa, as far as it was then intended to carry it, became complete. 8. Great Britain, when this had been done, stood in this position in reference to South Africa : — She had three several possessions here ; the Colony of the Cape of Good Hope, the Colony of Natal, and the dependency of British Kaffraria. No mutual relations whatever existed between these. They were independent countries, which had no...
83. lappuse - December 3 1 , nominally as Governor, but really as the statesman who seems to me most capable of carrying my scheme of confederation into effect, and whose long administrative experience and personal character give me the best chances of success.
295. lappuse - ... inhabitants of this Colony, and maintain with them ties of the closest intimacy and relationship. They speak, generally, the same language, not English but Dutch. They are, for the most part, of the same religion, belonging to the Dutch Reformed Church. They have the same laws, the Roman Dutch. They have the same sympathies, the same prejudices, the same habits, and frequently the same feelings, regarding the native races...
295. lappuse - I think there can be no doubt that, in any great public, or popular, or national question or movement, the mere fact of calling these people different nations would not make them so, nor would the fact of a mere fordable stream running between them sever their sympathies or prevent them from acting in unison.
103. lappuse - That in the opinion of this House it is desirable that the Government of this Colony should during the recess approach the Governments of the other self-governing British Colonies in South Africa to consider the advisability of taking preliminary steps to promote the union of British South Africa, the result of such negotiations to be laid before the next session of Parliament.
313. lappuse - Colony desires as many tons of good's as possible to be passed to the Transvaal through its territory, but it is to the interest of Cape Colony that no such tons of goods should pass into the Transvaal through the Orange River Colony. On every ton which, on its way to the Transvaal, passes into the Orange River Colony at Norval's Pont, the Cape Colony loses revenue compared with what she would receive if it passed into the Transvaal by the Kimberley-Fourteen Streams- Klerksdorp line.
313. lappuse - As long as the Governments of the five British Colonies in South Africa are wholly separated from, and independent of, each other, their railway interests are not only distinct but absolutely incompatible. There is a competitive struggle between the ports of Cape Colony and of Natal to snatch from each other every ton of goods which can be snatched. The Orange River Colony desires as many tons of goods as possible to be passed to the Transvaal through its territory, but it is to the interest of Cape...
312. lappuse - ... Governments of the Cape Colony, of Natal, of the Orange River Colony, and of the Transvaal. How can those divergences of opinion and of interest be settled ? At present they are settled through the High Commissioner, not, of course, by the High Commissioner. He simply represents the central organization in which the divergences of opinion or of interest are focussed, and he acts as the servant of the different Colonies in endeavouring to facilitate arrangements and accommodations among themselves....
