MACRUM UNVEILED.

The mystery is solved at last. The eager
world is made acquainted with the causes of
Mr.. Macrum's desertion Of his consulate at the
very time, and indeed, almost the only time.
when his presence there was of material i'm
portance. Incidentally Also the world is treated,
free Of charge, to fine lecture upon the duties
of consuls, Secretaries of State and other pub
lie functonaries. All of which is more or less
dverting, though there may be some who will
doubt whether It really is worth all the patience
that has been exercised and all the heart palp-
tations that have been suffered since Mr.
Macrum began his career of South African
Mystery Man.
Briefly stated Mr. Macrum has come home to
teach the Washington Administration how to
run the Government Of this country. For that
no doubt, the Administration will be duly
grateful. incidentally, he reports that the Brit
ish censors have been opening his official CORE
spondence and holding up his official cable
dispatches. The Belgian and German eonsuls
have been treated in the same scandalous man
ner, but apparently are poor mean spirited
things with not enough spunk to protest to
report the matter to their home Governments
and probably a~e too impecunious TO skip out
and run home with their tales of woe, as Mr.
Macrum has done. That, however, Mr.. Macrum
expressly tells us, is a minor matter which,
presumably, is why he never gave the Govern
ment a hint of it before, though he could easily
have done So and though it his duty to do
so. He could have put up with a mere viola
ton of the sanctity of his Governments official
mails. The important points were that he SYM
pathized with the Beers, and he wanted this
Government to know it; that various other
Americans were actually joining the Boer army
and, finally, that 1t went against the grain Of
him, as a Boer sympathizer, to take charge of
the interests of Great Britain. 1t was his first
duty, as man and a brother, 10 lay these i'm
pressive facts in person before the Government
at Washington. Thus he hoped to open its eyes
TO its true duty, and to teach it how very i'm
proper thing it was for it to make secret
alliance" with the British Government without
his knowledge or consent.
One other point in Mr.. Macrums explanation
! is worthy of notice, and of most cordial ap-
! prevail He says that American interests in
South Africa were in that condition which
demanded that the Department of State should
! ''be cognizant of them" Yes, they undoubtedly
were so long as they were in the hands of Mr..
! Macrum.

NETWORK DAILY TRIBUNE FRIDAY FEBRUARY 49, 1900.

Puerto Rico enjoyed. let us note how free a
market the island had to sell its products in
Coffee shipped to Spain had TO pay duty Of
s. 30 the hundred pounds. The United States
proposes to admit 1t free Sugar had to pay
duty of 81 "a the hundred pounds. That is more
than twice what the United States proposes to
exact. So with tobacco and wood and all the
other important products of the island They
had to pay an export duty to get out of the
island and an import duty to get into the Span
fish market. free market to sell in with a
vengeance! And, finally. of all these duties
Spain appropriated at least 40 per cent for her
own Peninsular uses, while the United States
proposes to devote every cent, even the duties
collected in United States custom houses, to the
interests of Puerto Rico.
Those are the facts of the case. They prove
precisely what we have hitherto contended, that
the tariff system proposed by the United States
is vastly more favorable to Puerto Rico than
any the island ever had before. We are told
that under Spanish rule the island was fairly
prosperous. Under United States rule, then, it
must certainly be much better off. What more
is to be desiredf We are giving the island
better government than the one we overthrow,
and are giving 1t better opportunities for trade
and industry and prosperity than it ever had
before. Is that wicked? Is that 'inhuman"?
If so, there are lots of people in this world who
would like to be the victims of Just such wicked
ness and inhumanity. The fact is, as we have
hitherto suggested. that these hot worded critics
Of the proposed tariff have no regard for the
welfare Of the island 1t does not matter TO
them whether it is prosperous or not. What
some Of them want is to get their pet fad of free
trade established. What others want is to get
some precedent set for presently fetching Puerto
Rico into the Union as a sovereign State. The
proposed tariff system blocks both those
schemes. And that is why they are raising such
hullabaloo and are emitting much bad
language and so many untruthful statements

LORD ROBERTgs CAMPAIGN.

The suppostion expressed in these columns
some days ago that General Buffers latest
movement toward Ladysmith was a mere feInt
executed for the purpose of distracting attention
from other operations and of keeping all the
Beers around Ladysmith occupied at that place
seems now to be entirely verified The same
may be said Of some minor movements near
COlesberg and elsewhere. Lord Roberts and
Lord Kitchener have entered upon serious cam
paigning and they are using the other British
commanders pawns in the game. What their
campaign is may see in part. 1t is re-
vealed by General Frenchs rapid advance into
the Boer territory and capture of various Boer
camps, and by the supporting movements OF
General Wood General Kelly Kenny and others
What the elimination of the campaign will be
we may only conjecture. What has been done
however, may understand as a basis of
expectation.
A few days ago all were talking Of Gen
eral French as being still in the neghborhood
of Colesberg and of General Kelly Kenny as be-
ing at ThebuS. and were specializing upon the
probability of their making concerted invasion
Of the Orange State at Norvals Pont, Bethulie
or Aliwal North. And now. behold! They sud
denly appear at the Ret River, above the Mod
der more than a hundred miles from Colesberg
Their movement was certainly effected with re-
HarKdDle speed ana secrecy. 1t has taken the
outside world by surprise. To what extent the
Beers are also surprised it is impossible to say
But unless they have made pretty complete
preparations TO meet such & movement Lord
Robertss advance into their territory may prove
highly embarrassing to them. General French
is now between the Riet and Modder rivers inst
east OF Jacobsdal and between that place and
BlOemfonten He Is menacing General Cront6
at the east as General Methuen is confronting
him at the west. For either of them General
Cronje might be a match. But a simultaneous
attack by both, on both sides of his camp would
be an awkward thing for that resourceful
Boer. 1t might compel him to abandon his de-
signs upon Kimberley to fight for his own exist
ence. And If beaten In such fight with Gen
eral French between him and the base of sup-
plies In the Orange State, his position would be
still more awkward. The fact that General
Kelly Kenny is close behind General French
and Colonel Hannay is leading another force of
undisclosed strength in the same direction indi-
cntes the whereabouts of some thousands OF
those soldiers of the Queen who appeared to
drop into nothingness the moment they were off
the transports
Lord Roberts's success In keeping these move
ments secret suggests that there NAV be still
others IN progress Of which we do not yet
know. 1t is not at all sure for example that we
know just where Lord Kitchener is And for
the same reason, we may not know what the

FACTS ABOUT PUERTO RICO.

Daniel Webster's suggestion at the beginning
Of his most famous Senatorial Grafton is peril
nent to the present case. 1t is well to take our
bearings 10 see how far we have drifted from
the real matter al issue, and TO note again accu-
fately the salient points of truth. The air has Of
late been full of wild and whirling words about
the wickedness. the infamy, the barbarity the
inhumanity Of imposing even the slightest tariff
upon trade between Puerto Rico and the United
States, until the credulous listener may well
have wondered if this Government had taken
leaf from the book of the Armenian Kurds and
proposed TO dine its officers upon Puerto Rico
babies, broiled or boiled. Why not? This Coy
eminent was specifically charged with treating
Puerto Rico worse than Spain had ever done
For Spain gave Puerto Rico free trade in both
directions open market to buy from and to
sell in-while the United States proposed the
unheard of savagery of levying a small tariff in
order TO provide Puerto Rico with the revenue
she so much needs. We ventured the other day
TO suggest that under Spanish rule the island
had tariff system, whereupon we We're assaied
with storm of denunciatOn as furious as
though we had laid profane hands upon the Ark
OF the Covenant Yet what are, or were. the
facts in the case?
Our Washington correspondent set them forth
with fulness Of detail and with ample citations
of authorities, in his special dispatches Of YES
terday. He reminded us-On the authority OF
Dr. ii. *. Carroll, lately Special United States
Commissioner 10 Puerto Rico who, by the way,
has been quoted on the other side as opposing
the wicked" tariff scheme-that under Spanish
rule there existed in Puerto Rico a tariff which
was designed to secure the revenue needed
with the least possible disadvantage to Spain"
"a tariff between Puerto Rico and Spain, mind
you) II was so levied as to suppress. or AT
least repress. Puerto Rican industries" II was
characterized by an utter disregard of insular
interests" The Puerto Rican producers had no
chance against those of Spain but were sacri-
feed for the gain Of the latter. Even indispensa-
Bile articles Of food had 10 pay an enormous
duty The Puerto Ricans themselves COM
planned that they were denied free trade with
Spain, and were treated almost as IL Puerto
Rico were q foreign country" Passing by the

sake Of increasing the profits of Spanish millers.

"CORDIAL ACoUJESCENcE."

In the matter of a second term for Governor
Roosevelt instead Of a nomination to the Vice
Presidency Mr.. Plat cordially acquiesces" in
the Governors views. as we are informed on
what ought to be competent authority. But
when we come TO consider the specific problems
of State government which ARE being partly
solved" we oppressed with doubts as to the
value Of Mr.. Platts contributions to the process
which the Governor needs time to complete.
There is the Horton law repeal bill for in
stance, which, with the Governors earnest sup
port, passed the Assembly yesterday but is ex-
pected to encounter the stfffest sort of oppo-
stiOn in the Senate. Public decency and re-
spectacle opinion everywhere demand that the
lucrative, fraudulent, demoralizing brutal New
York prize ring shall be abolished. The Gov
ernOr has made a vigorous plea to the good
people Of the State in behalf Of the repeal bill
He rightly says that public opinion needs to
find even more emphatic expression than It has
found thus far in order to make certain the
passage Of the bill. Does Mr. Platt cordially
acquesce" in the Governors views on this
subject? If So he has been remarkably success
full in concealing the fact. The Republican
organization is generally suspected of having
''queered" the repeal bill last winter During
the campaign last fall, though entreated to
speak out 1t said not one word against prize
fighting, but actually left ASsemblyman Lewis
whom the prizefghtng fraternity tried hard to
defeat in his OWL district, without even a clew
to its sympathies and intentions. Ever since the
session began he has been engaged In a hard
straightforward contest against the rascay
promoters of professional pugilism but the Re-
publican managers have given him no as
sistance.
Is Mr.. Platt DESTROYS. or willing to have the
Horton law saved III the Senate, where from
the first its supporters have intended to con-
centrate their resources? Who has his cordial
acquiescence" in this affair? Do the Governor
and Assemblyman Lewis know? Undoubtedly
these are questions which interest and concern
very large proportion of the people whom the
Governor lately took into his confidence on the
subject Of the Vice-Presidency and a second
term. They are curious TO the possible limita-
tons of cordial acquiescence" and there would
seem to be no good reason why their curiosity
should not be gratifed to this extent at least.
Does the Republican organization mean to pro-
tect destroy the abominable industry Of
pTiZefghting in the State of NeW-York?
