Judge Rogers this morning heard
and granted the petition Of Anna Me-
Intyre for a divorce from her husband.
John w. X. Mcintyre, on the ground
of non-support. Mrs. McIntyre's hus-
band was a member of the cavalry

married him. He was also In the en-
pIoy OF local dry goods company;

bands sister once during the time
she resided with the McIntyres she
was forced TO remain in the attic OF
tenement on Capitol hill and was posi-
lively forbidden by the elder Mcintyre
To cross the threshold of the family hv-
ing apartments.
Wnen she was first married her
home was on Wayne street. and when
trouble broke out with the husbands
people her husband said he did not
blame her>for having trouble with his
sister as he could not get along with
her himself.
Mrs. Mcintyre testified her not too
nmiable $ sster-in-law had an illegiti-
MAKE child The reason Mcintyre left
the dry goods concern she said was be-
cause he wanted 10 boss the concern
and his desire was not approved by
the management placed in control by
the owners. After leaving the store re-
ferrcd to, Mcintyre went 10 camp and
his wife went 20 Riverside where he
followed her when the week of mimic
warfare was over. Later they lived to-

to tramp around in the snow for
little while before she could get In.

England mill OF the American Screw
company where her father, Isaac Dis
ley is a foreman. While she lived
with the McIntyres her husband paid
his wages TO his mother and the
mother bought all the things for the
house.

is again among the people who enthusiast
ticaIly supported him four years ago and
are preparing 10 repeat that performance
this year. He need not be on his guard
now either as 10 the arrangement of the
Issues for which he stands. or as to the
freedom of his utterances. He may put
silver first or last. or he may not mention
it at all: he may oppose expansion out

The Macrum statement.

The oracle has spoken. Mr.. Macrum has
broken silence. The effect is and yet Is not
disappointing 1t shows that Mr.. Macrum
accurately estimated his own capacity 10
represent the United States at a post of
difficulty and to that extent it justifies pre-
vious measurements of his quality. 1t re-
veals the man an ardent partisan of
the Beers, and therefore unfit to hold
diplomatic or consular post. II shows him
in the unsavory light of one who has lost
Office through his failure to measure up to
the required standard in time OF emer-
gency and who now resorts to innuendo and
accusation to justify himself.
There is only one portion of the Macrum
statement worthy of being taken seriously
that relating TO the interference with his
mail and cable privileges while he was still
at Pretoria as consul. If 1t be true as he
declares. that the British censors at Cape
Town and Durham opened his letters and
held his dispatches back. an inquiry by
this government should be at once insti-
tuted to prove or disprove such a piece OF
irnpertinence. unjustihed by any rules of in
ternational procedure or any exigencies of
war. 1t does not appear from Mr. Ma
erum's statement, however. that he noti-
fed the State Department of the violation
of his mail packets or the delay of his
cablegrams. as 1t was HIS immediate duty
to do.
The whole case SINNERS down into that
of 4 man installing his position. Fired with
pro-Boer sentiments. and eager to plead
the Boer cause at this capital, he thought
to leave his post in charge of a subordI-
materially an unofficial substitute-and to
make the long journey to Washington as
an envoy for the burghers. He sought to
sway the Judgment of the United States
government to the point of abandoning its
neutrality, ignoring -or not knowing the
fact that the State Department did not
depend upon him for its information re-
garding the case in South Africa.
The statement will not even make good
campaign material. 1t is too seIf-revealing
in its frank avowal of failure

the modification to see the democracy all
but swallowed up in triumphant populIsm.
with a man more populist than democrat
nominated for President.
The whole drift of the party since that
time has been away from traditional de-
mocracy. The fight against expansion is
waged in the face of the party's history
and the teachings of some of its most Illus
trious leaders. And since the party has
already surrendered so much to popuiism.
why hesitate to accept the whole pOpulist
program, government ownership of rail-
roads. government loans on crops and fat
live stock. and whatever else may be neees-
sary fairly to inaugurate state socialism?
The Ocala platform, - much derided in its
day. seems in fair way to be taken up

the light of what has occurred in the past

The Kentucky Situation.

Judge Taft's denial of an Injunction in the
case of the minor offices in Kentucky brings
forward again the state election board.
whose purpose it is to decide in favor of
the democratic contestants. The board has
been reorganized for that express purpose.
Il is now composed of three men selected
by Mr.. Goebel because of their known at
tachment to his cause. Their right to their
places has been confirmed by the highest
court in the state by a strictly partisan
vote So that if this board may now pro-

will be issued to the democrats. The re-

to see Mr.. Bryan making greater play than
ever to hold together what remains of the
fusion of democrats, populists and silver
republicans. accomplished in 1896 in those
states remote from what he and his friends
designate as New York influences" In
that sign, IL success is possible he Is to
conquer. He is more of a populist than
democrat, but enough of a democrat to
lead the party which in its revolt against
Cleveiandism transformed itself almost COM
pletely. As. for the silver republicans. they
left home to follow him. and If they should
drop out Of his train they would have no
place to lay their heads. Fusion, there

is no material for fusion outside of the
sections where populism has fiourished
