GRADUALLY the public is get
TING at the true inwardness of the
removal of 2. j. Smally from the
secretaryship of the dairy and
food commission. At first it was
given out that it simply grew out
of personal differences between
Smally and Bowler, even Small
ley's version of the matter did not
fully disclose the facts. The
newspapers of the cities have very
large advertising contracts with
trust baking powder companies,
and had as little as possible to say
about the matter, but it is an in
disputable fact that the whole
trouble grew out of n deal be-
tween the powers that be and we
trust to give the latter all the time
it wanted to dispose Of the pro
duct on hand before the baking
power law of 1899 was put into
execution. The value of such a
concession to the trust will be
readily seen and understood, and
when trust wants anything it is
generally ready to make it an oh
iect to comply. Whether or not
it did "put up" and whether OF
not the proceeds of the confessed
deal went to any campaigd fund
sor the support of the reform"
press associations, are matters OF
mere conjecture, but any one who
has followed the matter will nat
urally wonder ig the law was in
vaIipated just for the sake of &C
commodating the baking powder
trust. The fact that the law has
been declared invalid cannot be
given as an excuse for its viola
ton because it was law entitled
to respect until the courts had
passed upon it.

Mrs. Lillian Devereaux Blake
threatens to bolt the National
Woman Suffrage party if she isnot
elected to succeed Miss Anthony.
AS we have said, the ladies are be-
having like men. Some of the
leaders of the party speaking OF
Mrs. Blake's threatened departure
from the party, declare that "she
will only take six women with
her, and they may leave with
blessings" Evidently all of the
members of the National Woman
Suffrage party are not content

Since the Ger repulse at La dysmith
bot arm les have apparently lean rest ng.
and no movements Of impoi t 1nee have
taken place. But this condition VIII not
continue long. The Beers Of course know
tea. large achievements for the English
are on the way, and that their chance of
capturing the beleagusred town will bs
very much diminished by their arrival.
Therefore they may be exbectsa to strike
again before that contingency.
Whether they will lie successful can only
tie onjectured, but In the nature OF the
case the hesieged must constantly be
growing weaker, while the hesiesers can
at least hold their own. Therefore In the
next attack the odds against the British
will be increased. aud their chance OF
making successful resistance diminished.
The fall Of La6ysmith would be u terrible
blow to British pride, but that 1t would
constitute a very serious military
disaster Is not so clear. Un-
auestionably this British campaign
has been greatly hampered because Of
the necessity OF relieving Kimberley and
Ladysmith. 1t was on that account that
the army had to be divided and conse-
queutly weakened Had there been nothing
to protect in Natal ths army might have
been kept to getber and marched direct
into the Orange Free State. The fall Of
Ladysmith, therefore, may be blessing
In disguise.
