P.S.--I have been a Cabinet Minister. I send you a circular of our new company. It is a good thing. Push it along. IV. The Chaplaincy, Barford College, Old St. Winifred’s Day, 1900. My dear Mr. Kruger.--Your position is at once interesting and peculiar, and deserves, as you say, my fullest attention. On the one hand (as you well remark) you believe you have a right to your independence, and that our Government has no moral right to interfere in your domestic affairs. You speak warmly of Mr. Chamberlain and describe him as lacking in common morality or (as we put it) in breeding. I think you are hardly fair. Mr. Chamberlain has his own morality, and in that summing up of all ethics which we in England call “manners,” he is indistinguishable from other gentlemen of our class. He has had a great deal to bear and he has latterly borne it in silence. It is hardly the part of a generous foe to taunt him now. I fear you look upon these matters a little narrowly and tend to accept one aspect as the absolute. The truth is that international morality must always be largely Utilitarian, and in a very interesting little book by Beeker it is even doubted whether what we call “ethics” have any independent existence. This new attitude (which we call “moral anarchism”) has lately cast a great hold upon our younger men and is full of interesting possibilities. If you meet Milner you should discuss the point with him. I assure you this school is rapidly ousting the old “comparative-positive” in which he and Curzon were trained. There is a great deal of self-realization going on also. Lord Mestenvaux (whom you have doubtless met--he was a director of the Johannesberg Alcohol Concession) is of my opinion. Believe me, my dear Mr. Kruger, with the fullest and warmest sympathy for such of your grievances as may be legitimate, and with the ardent prayer that the result of this deplorable quarrel may turn out to be the best for _both_ parties, Your affectionate Friend of old days, JOSHIA LAMBKIN, M.A., Fellow and Chaplain.

(Unsigned.) Finally this damning piece of evidence must close the terrible series. VI. To the Rev. Ebenezer Biggs, Capetown. The House of Commons, April 10th, 1899.
