Rhodes Memorial

I found several journalistic pieces from the late 19th century to earlier 20th century on the NY Times archive website.  One article praises Rhodes effort in trying to unify South Africa regardless of race.  It's quite biased in favor of Rhodes, as evidenced by the comparison between Rhodes and the Count of Monte Cristo.  In another piece, Cecil Rhodes' trial is documented.  Rhodes argues that the President Kruger of the Transvaal asked for it by not keeping promises to his citizens.  He went on to argue that the British were there to protect civili rights.
