ineurring the suspicious of the Boer
President"
There is not the least doubt that
the AID ministration is willing 20 back
up Macru N, 'even at the risk Of
mourning the suspicion of the Boer
President" What are the suspicious
of the President of a sister Republic
when 1t is a question of gaining
Eagiand's good wilt by permitting 9
representative of the United States
to act in a way that no neutral
Government would allow it's rep
resentative to act. Mckinley has
already received his reward by receiv-
ing the unstlnted praise of the
English press, whose sentiments are
voiced by the Pail Mall Gszette when
it cries out Moore power to
Macrum. The Irish World.

of Germany while fulfilling the
duties assigned to him.
Macrum. however, is not a Wash
burn. He knows that the "powers
that be" in Washington favor Eng
land, and that knowledge has had Its
effect on him. Scarcely had he been
appointed as England's agent when
he began to act in a manner that
drew forth protest from the
Transvaal Government. President
Kruger complains that be has gone
outside of his duties and privileges
and interfered with the military phase
of the situation by furnishing the
English Government weekly report
of the condition of sick British
prisoners and arranging for their ex
change.
Macrum illustrates in his person
the truth of the saying like master,
like man." He knows that Mckinley
favors England, and that is enough
to make him Englands tool. That he
was not mistaken ia believing that he
would be backed up by the State
Department is shown by the following
Washington dispatch to the New
York Sun, an Administration organ;
This State Department declines
to make public the details of the
instructions sent to Mr.. Mscrum, but
1t is more than likely that they have
application to the specific complaint
or President Kruger that in furnish
ing. to the British Government
weekly report of tae condition of sick
British prisoners arranging for their
exchange he is going outside of his
duties and privileges aud interfering
with a military phase of the situation.
The Administration is evidently dis
posed to back him up in the perform
ance Of his duties, even at the risk OF

Mckinley Against the Beers.

From the beginning of the Trans
vaal war the Government at WASH
ington has made no secret of it's
sympathy with England. Two sister
Republics are struggling for their
existence, threatened by nation
whose history is one unbroken record
Of robbery and plumber in every land
where the people were too weak to
resist. In such a struggle the
sy mpathies of the Government of the
United States ought to be on the side
of those battling for the perpetuation
of republican institutions, and they
would be if, unfortunately, there was
not installed in Washington an
Administration which has lost all
sense of shame in its efforts TO please
England in all things. So when the
hostilities began between the Beers
and the English no time was lost by
the authorities in Washington in
making it manifest that they we're
more than willing to strain point to
help England in her nefarious work
| in South Africa.
Before actual fighting began a
great mass meeting was held in New
York for the purpose of inducing
Mckinley to offer the friendly
mediation of this country in the spirit
of the Hague Peace Conference to
prevent clash of arms. The res>
olutions passed on that occasion were
backed up by great part of the
American press. in the hope that
American sentiment, which was
overwhelmingly on the side of the
Beers, would make itself felt in the
White House. But American public
opiop, as the result showed, had not a
feathers weight with the Admins
tration as against the wishes of Eng
land. The British Government, relv.
ing upon supposed superior military
strength, wanted war which would
give the coveted opportunity of
Selling the rich gold fields of the
Transvaal. The Administration at
Washington, aware of this, refused to
lift finger to psrevent hostilities,
although strong pressure was brought
to bear upon it to do so.
Finally. when the fighting began,
the American Consul at the capital of
the Transvaal, Charles E Macrum
by name, was appointed by the
English Government to look after
English interests while the war lasted.
Under ordinary circumstances the
appointment would not be open to
criticism. as it is the custom TO
appoint the representative of
neutral nation to take charge Of the
interests of one or ths other bellIge-
rent powers 10 the country that Is
the seat of war. Thus during the
Franco Prussian war Minister Wash-
burn in Paris looked after German
interests until the return of peace.
The French Government raised no
objection to Washburn's appointment
because be did not become partisan
