Converting the Departments into a
Political Machine.

The conversions of the bureaus oi
the government at Washington into a
political machine, to serve partisan
ends, is the latest, but logical step
in advance for the party of monopoly
and Imperialism. A President who re-
pudiates the Declaration of Independ-
ence, tramples upon the Constitution.
disregards his oath of Office and with
out authority from Congress wages a
war of conquest, undoubtedly consid-
ers it a trivial matter to convert the
various departments of the government
into a political machine, and to use the
taxes of the people for the purpose OF
continuing himself in Office.
The revelation that the Bureau of
Education of the Interior Department
has been converted into a machine for
the propaganda of pro-British, ,anti-Boer
sentiment and is sending out to the
school teachers of the country docu-
ments published by the British South
African Colonial Society and furnished
by the British government is indeed
startling. Such. however, is the fact
brought to light during the past week.
Copies OF the documents have been Sc
cured by the Democratic congressional
committee and are now in their posses
sion at their headquarters in the Me-
tropolitan Hotel in this city.
If anything were wanting to prove
the existence of the secret alliance be-
tween the Administration and Great
Britain the fact that the British Gov
ernment is able to use the United States
Government as machine to manufac-
ture opinion in the United States fa-
vorable to her inhuman and bloody
course in South Africa ought to be suf-
fcient. But in view of the further fact
that it is known that not per cent of
the American people, either Republi-
cans or Democrats, have anything but
and Indignation for England
the Beers, it is bold. risky, and villain
Gus work for the Administration to use
the taxes wrung from our people to
conduct British propaganda from
Those who have watched the trend
of British opinion well understand that
the South African war is not sanctioned
by the people of England, but is, like
our Philippine war, a war for which
the administration alone is responsible.
What would the taxpayers of Amer
ica think if these documents sent out
from the Bureau CT Education of the
United States government should find
their way into the hands of the pro-
Boer leaders of England and they
should expose one of them at a public
gathering in an envelope bearing the
official stamp OF the United States as
document sent out from onr national
Bureau of Education? Would it not
be humiliating? Can there be found a
Hannaite partisan in America base
enough to Justify the conduct of our
government in the matterP Every
hing has its limit, and we believe that
he limit of liberation for Hanna1te
even by the most intense par
.isans is exceeded in this matter.-Na-

Discovered in the Iron and Steel Mar
ket-Conaitions Have Improved.
PITTSBURGH, Pa., May 20. - The
American Manufacturer, in It's iron and
steel review, will say tomorrow: There
are cheerful spots in the iron and steel
situation, but they are not as large nor
as brilliant as the producers would like
to see.
Conditions have improved slightly
over last week In the matter Of produce
tion. Almost all OF the finishing mills
that were suspended for the past two
weeks have been put Into operation
again to meet the increased business.
Inquiries are more plenty and there
is a good trade in sight ready to move
Just as soon as values are finally ad-
justed.
The whole situation is waiting upon
the Bessemer producers. Prices for fin
ished stuffs are as low as they can go
under the prevailing tariffs for raw and
semi-fnlshed material. They cannot be
brought down any further until the cost
of Bessemer has been set down to meet
the expected business. But with Bes-
semer for the second half of the year
on a basis of $50 per ton, the costs of
finished stuffs may be adjusted to meet
the demands of large buyers and still
leave healthy margin. 1t would not
be a bad guess to say that the steel
business Of the next six months fol-
lowing July viii be on a business Of
500 Bessemer.
Plates are not weaker. but are not
stronger, and may be bought in good
lots for s1.G5. Sheets and structural are
the malnstays of the case.
