At last the true reason for the mys-
terious return Of Charles e. Macrum
from his post as Consul at Pretoria
has been made public. In q signed
statement Mr.. Macrum enters at
length into the condition of affairs in
South Africa, and says that a point
was reached where he could not, as q
representative of the United States,
longer remain at Pretoria and retain
his self respect. Not only were the
official letters to and from his consul
late interrupted and withheld for
days and weeks at a time, but on sew
eral occasions official communica-
tions, bearing the seal of the United
States, we're delivered to him with
the seals broken and fastened with
waters, showing that they had been
opened and read by the British GEN.

The Laws.

III. G. Cutting in a communication
to the Carson Appeal denies that he
purchased an unfinished compilation
of the laws Of. this State from the heirs
of the late Robert M. Beatty and
the same. Mr.. Cutting
saws a bill was introduced in the Leg
islature at its session in 1866 provid-

Judge Harmon of Eureka and Mr..
but it failed to pass. The
forthcoming work is, he says, the re-
suit Of his own labor, and he alone is
entitled to the credit therefor.

Washington Government, and he was
compelled to inform American citi-
zens in Africa who came to him for
assistance that he could do nothing
for them. He was in the position OF
a British Consul and not an Ameri'
can Consul, and was expected to do
the bidding of England, while his
OWN country was being insulted at
every turn. His sense of honor Q
volted at the position he was COM
PEELED to occupy and he determined
to return to Washington and person
ally lay the situation before the De-
partment. To this end he secured a
leave of absence. What was his sur
prise on reaching Washington to be
informed that the Secretary of State
refused to see him, and learning that
the son of Secretary Hay had been
appointed to succeed him at Pretoria?
Mr.. Marcum asserts that there has
been O secret alliance entered into
between Great Britain and President
McKinley's administration, and he is
prepared to prove the truth of his
statement. That this is o fact has
been more than suspected by many
persons who have followed the course
Of events during the past year. 1t
Isl bitter humiliation to this country,
and would Seem to demand a denial
from the Administration If such a
denial were possible, but up to date
it has not been forthcoming. The
only statement the Department has
seen fit to make is that the commu-
nications Mr.. Msorum claims to have
sent are not on file in that office.
Mr.. Macrum's statement will be one
of the principal issues in the coming
campaign, and Mr.. Mckinley will be
called upon to prove that every effort
has been made to uphold the honor
of this Government. and that no alli-
ance has been formed with England
or any other country. That he do
this at once is a duty he owes to him
self, his party and the nation.

Judging from the reports received
this has been Englsnd's week in
South Africa. The relief of Kimber-
ley has been effected by Lord Rob-
erts' forces, but the fact that in this
movement they encountered no OPP
position from the Beers is regarded
with suspicion. The Beers are said
to be concentrating their forces to
General Cronie, and news
OF the biggest battle of the wal may
be expected shortly.

The threat Of the British Govern
ment to arm the Zulus and incite
them to battle is alarming the civil
lied nations of the earth, and it is
not to be imagined that any such
action on the part OF England will
be permitted. The announcement
of the English premier is a practical
confession that the Government is
unable to subdue the Beers, and any
attempt to carry the threat into exc
cution will undoubtedly be regarded
as an invitation for the other powers
to interfere. q course which they will
not be slow in pursuing.

BOW To THE MEAT TRUST.

The meat trust, with O capitaiiza-
ton Of fifty-two millions of dollars.
was organized some time ago and now
controls the meat product of the ma
ton. Agents of this monopoly trav.
ell over the entire country-East
and West, North and Southland
contract with farmers and stock
raisers for their growing live stock,
in many instances advancing the
money necessary to carry the ani~
mails over until they reach a desira-
BILE age, and fit them for market.
Parties thus aided are compelled to
sign an agreement to sell only to
representatives of the trust. and OF
course at prices fixed by that organi'
cation.
Not content with controlling the
meat supply the trust has fastened
its grip upon the retail dealers OF
the country. Every dealer who APP
plies for meat at the distributing
agencies is required to give the ex-
act location of his place of business.
the amount of capital he has invest
ed, and furnish satisfactory refer
ences as to his integrity and business
standing. He must also agree to
purchase all his supplies from the
trust and from no other source, and
to sell only at prices established by
that corporation.
All the slaughter houses and abat-
toirs at the large cities are owned
and operated by the trust, and at al
those points they have succeeded in
having ordinances and health regu-
lations established which effectually
shut out small butchers, thus pre-
venting competition.
Can anything worse than this con-
dition Of affairs be imagined? II
would certainly seem that the trusI
had taken every %precaution to COD
troll the meat business for all time
to come, but still il is not satisfied
There is one thing lacking to make
its mastery over the people COM
plete, and to accomplish this the bill
authorizing the leasing OF public
lands to this almighty corporation
has been introduced in Congress
Every possible effort is being made
to secure the passage of this measure,
and to aid in this result q meeting o.
the cattlemen of California, Oregon
Montana, Utah, Nevada and Arizona
has been called for March 5 at San
Francisco for the purpose of urging
Congress to pass the bill. OF course
this meeting will be controlled by
the trust representatives. as it is no,
to be imagined that the small cattle
men of the aforementioned States
will be present or take any interest
in it. The object of the trust will
however. be accomplished. A mem
orial will be prepared and presented
to Congress, purporting to represent
the views of the stockmen of the States
in which the greater portion of the
lands in question are situated. II
will ask that the lands be leased in
accordance with the provisions OF
the bill, and will serve as an excuse
for the passage Of the Ubiquitous
measure.
Ye Godsl Will the time aver come
when the people of this nation will
awake to the realization of what they
are coming to? Will they ever arise
in their might and crush the trusts,
and the men who, as public servants,
are aiding them to ruin the country
and its inhabitants? If that time is
to come let us pray that il may come
quickly, for there is nc time to lose.
