Show THE BOERS AND THE KLONDIKE, f A Denver morning paper grows indignant in-dignant over the alleged plot of Americans Am-ericans to foment a rebellion against Canadian authority in the Klondike. It says that if Americans don't like the rules and regulations in the Klondike Klon-dike they have the privilege of leaving that country, and that they have a great deal of cheek in making trouble trou-ble for authorities into whose jurisdiction jurisdic-tion they went of their own free will and without invitation. All of which is more or less true. But if it is true of Americans in the Klondike it was just as true of the Citlander in the Transvaal. If the News is rightly informed, the tax laid upon gold in the Klondike is higher than the tax in the Transvaal was. A revolt of the Americans in the Klondike would be an attempt to take away from the Canadians something which they have and which belongs to them, just as the war on the Boers was waged to take away something they had and which belonged to them.
