SECRECY AS TO MOVES.
Roberts Arrival a Step Toward De.
cisive Action, Probably.

LONDON, January 1.-THE arrival of
Field Marshal Roberts and his staff at
Cape Town marks one more step to-
ward action on the British side. Aside
from the bare announcement of their
landing, however, the War Office will
permit nothing to come out pertaining
to the future. 1t is supposed from the
time the dispatch was received that
they arrived last evening, but the dis
patch may, for war reasons, have been
held back some hours. Field Marshal
Roberts and the staff are expected to
leave for the Tugela River az once,
but this is not by any means certain.
Press reports confirm the story told by
General Butler in an official dispatch as
| to the conduct of the Free Staters and
the Beers in the attack upon Lady
smith.
| The Free Staters, according to CORE
spondents, openly jeerea at the Beers
for running away whenever the British
threatened a bayonet charge. The State
forces stuck to the positions they cap
tured until number of them had beer
won nded and killed by the bayonet

meaning that Butler, at least, has al

all news only because his losses hav
been very great. This, however, is tn
merest hazard, and there is no posi-
tive indication yet that battle is actu

regiments disaster near Colesburg pu
another light on that engagement.
Instead of being guilty of cowardice
the regiment, it is reported, was th
victim of the same treachery which ha
J already cost the British forces so man

Gov. BUSHNELL retires with the
blessing of friends and the "ta-ta's" of
his enemies. Eis business management
of the affairs of the State stands unchal-
lenged. In political matters, he work
ed his own undoing, in appointing Mr..
Hanna to the Senate, at the request OF
President Mckinley. By giving up to
them the best plum in his pudding, he
gained neither thanks nor favor, but
handed over his friends to the tender
mercies of Mr.. Hanna. The REPUBLI
CAN advised different course at the
time, and if the course we indicated
had been taken, the party which was
thoroughly united in 1896, would no
now be divided up into bitter factions
Gov. Bushnell should have made hi
own appointment for Senator.

discouraging. Some think it was caused
by dry weather last Fall, but we think
still that it is caused by the fly, for if

COMBINATIONS NECESSARY.

In answer to questions sent him by
the National Industrial Commission, J.
D. Rockefeller says that combinations
or trusts are necessary to carry on 3
large business. That is true, but the
trouble is, ''the large business Is not
necessary nor desirable. For ages the
world has recognized the fact that
mOnOpolies are curse. And when a
business gets so large and so rich that
competition with it is very difficult, if
not impossible, las is the case with
trusts, it has become "a large busi-
ness" that it is not only necessary te
