From information supplied by the Government of Pretoria itself, we find that five sources have absorbed more than half:-- Salaries, &c.

L7,003,898 Military expenditure 2,236,942 Special expenditure 2,287,559 Sundry services 1,581,042 Public works 5,809,996 -- --------- L18,919,437 -- --------- Leaving a surplus of L18,111,601 =========== Under the headings of "special," and "sundry services," are concealed the secret service expenditure, remuneration to influential electors, and the various political expedients by which Mr.Krueger has proved "his intellectual and moral" superiority.
The official salaries of 1899, estimated at L1,216,000, included a sum of L326,640 for the police.

We have seen what kind of police it is.
The legislature is composed of two Volksraads, each consisting of twenty-nine members; or fifty-eight in all.

Now the estimate of salaries for the legislature is L43,960, or about L758 each, more than double the allowances of the French senators and deputies.
It is somewhat imprudent of Dr.Kuyper to refer to the educational expenditure.

The expenditure amount allocated for the education of the children of Uitlanders in 1896, was L650, or at the rate 1s.10d.
