Review of the Epidemic mt wharton.
Wharton. Texas, February 10. Judge
Gordon this morning said to The Post cor
respondent anent the smallpox situation:
Court has raised quarantine, finding it
impracticable; disease has continued in
such mild form that no one seems to dread
it. 1t Is not fully decided what to do with
the pesthouse or its inmates. The cpl
demic has so far cost the county about
$4,000. There were in all i0S cases treated
at the hospital from october is to Decem-
her 81 Cost of provisions, $iG6.T6;
guards and nurses, sS63.75. All other ex-
penses were arranged according to the
same economical basis. While every care
has been given the patients, it is due to
the closest financial calculation and rare
judgment of the officials that the epidemic
has cost the county so small an amount
ana the disease has been kept within
hounds-not more than twenty white pa
tIents have been victims of the disease.
The system of strict isolation will still
be maintained and all sanitary precautions
observed.

San Antonio. Texas, February 15,--The
republicans in Bexar county had their
biennial split today in the county conven-
ton called for the purpose of nominating
delegates to the congressional and State
delegate convention and to elect county
executive committee aud chairman. There
was a strong sentiment in the convention
for c. G. Drake as a candidate for the
congressional nomination at the Del Rio
convention next month while existing coun-
~ executive committee felt opposed to
Drake.
The report Of the executive committee
recommending the seating OF certain con-
testing delegations and temporary officers
was the rock upon which the convention
split When the chair refused 10 entertain
a substitute report while the roll was be-
ing called on the executive committee re-

Charles E, Macrum, ex-cousul TO Preto-
ria. has at last consented 10 talk He has
talked. aud that which he has had to say
can not. be particularly pleasing to the
Standardization. II any part OF his story be
true, and IL bears the impress OF truth.
the treatment he has received from official
Washington is still another revelation to
confirm tho conviction that our neutrality
TO the antagonists OF the South African
war is cowardly make-hellei
Macrum declares that full four weeks
had elapsed between the inauguration Of
hostilities and his reception OF eommuui-
cations from home. and that whom his
mail did reach him Il had been opened and
perused by the British censor, through
whose interfering hands it passed. at Dur
ban.
II the Official correspondence Of this gov
ernment With It's official Representatives
IN a foreign country is to be stopped en-
route, opened aud read by a representative
OF Great Britain or Of any other power.
Why rot avoid annoyance and delays by
making such official intermeddlsr our rep
resentotive abroad and our consul his Sec
Rotary.
It is very true that Consul Mscrum
could ind no authority in international
law or ethics, acting under which, Brit
ish censor at Durham could hold. until
he had digested at his iusolent leisure, dis
patches and communications sent by a
neutral government TO its representative
in hesieged country. Such authority is
not found in that quarter. Nor can It be
found anywhere on earth except in official
Washington. the prolific breeding ground
Of secret alliances and of cunning schemes
to divert the course of government from
a constitutional republic 10 a centralized
monarchy. The error into which Mr.. Mac
rim fell was that nd looked IN the wronl
direction for the authority that made hin
an official waste basket for official dis
patches, when the Durham censor had beef
satisfied to toss them aside.
There is one thing. however that Mr.
Maerum does know al this time, bette
than any man on earth. and that is tn
real reason for sending, as his successo
