The Supreme Power.

The resolution of the Iowa house of
representatives protesting against the
Porto Rican tariff bill continues to
worry the brethren. The sentiment
behind the resolution refuses to "blow
over"
One patriotic congressman has ex-
planned his attitude by remarking that
the situation in DesMoines is not the
same as in Washington" The phrase
is so quantity immoral that We have
no hesitation in attributing it to Han
ma. 1t reeks with the genuine Hanna
odor.
It's clear meaning is that in Des-
Moines republicans can protest against
the robbery of Porto Rico. but repub-
licans in Washington must necessarily
favor it. such being the order of the
day. In other words. il a congress
man from Iowa We're a member Of the
legislature he would be justified in vot-
ing for the protest; but if a legislator
of Iowa was a member of congress,
circumstances would compel him to
carry out Hannas orders.
This is why the phrase is so apt and
fragrant. The situation is not the
same in DesMoines as it is in Washing
ton because the Legislators of Iowa
have some regard for the will of the
people. whereas in Washington the
will of the trusts and the protected in
terests is supreme Even Mr. NC

Macrum's Charges Sustained.

The acknowledgment by Secretary
Hay that Lord Salisbury has apollo
gized for the opening of Mr. Macrums
official mail. iustifies all that has been
said by the latter, and places the ad-
ministration in a rather queer light.
Mr.. Macrum was United States con-
sui to Pretoria. When the er-Eng-
lish war broke out. he was instructed
to assume charge of British consular
affairs as we'll The telegraph lines
and mail communication were all in
the hands of the British authorities.
and Mr.. MaCrum was cut off from all
communication with his own govern
ment, except in so far as International
courtsey would protect his official mail.
Suddenly correspondence ceased. Ma
crum left Pretoria for the United
States and there arose great public in
terest as to what was the matter. Be
fore Macrum could be heard from, Mr..
Hay appointed his son to the vacant
consulate: the latter called upon Lord
Salisbury before his departure for Af-
rica. and the public awaited the devel-
opments.
After being ignored by his home
government. Mr. Macrum slade known
to the public the fact that his official
mail had been regularly opened by the
British postofIice authorities: that they
understood perfectly the consular code,
and that his return home was to make
q report which he could not make
from Pretoria except under the super
vision OF a foreign gcvernmont.' The
action of the administration in dismiss
ing him without even hearing his re-
port was sufficient to arouse resent
ment. which has led to action in con-
eress. Now that an exposure is in
evitable. Mr.. Hay admits the truth of
all that Macrum said by acknowledge
ing an apology from Salisbury. If the
offense demanded an apology, why was
Macrum censured for seeking to make
the facts known What collusion has
led to this understanding, in which
the inviolability OF American ofticiae
mail is surrendered
Questions are piling up high. for
which republicanism will have to an

General Piet Joubert.

The death Of General Piet Joubert
must simplify the settlement Of the
South African war.
The remarkable success which at
tended General Joubert's military OPP
erations in the first engagements Of
the war made his name tower of
strength to his followers and q terror
to his adyersaries. Even when the
tide of battle had turned and defeat
for the Beers seemed inevitable, such
a man as Jouhert could have extended
guerrilla operations indefinitely. Dying
as he has. when there was no hope for
his people in war, they will be more
ready to face what cannot be helped
and begin that new career under other
conditions which alone remains to
them.
Nevertheless. the name OF General
Joubert will be added 20 that unioI-
tunate but brilliant list of men who
have fought for minority causes. Their
memory arouses romantic interest. but
they stood across the path Of develop
ment and they had to stand aside.

is demonstrating that it cares nothing
whatever for the will of the people, it
is to be presumed that there is not an
honest, patriotic democrat in the coun-
try but regrets the part he took in
any performance calculated to benefit
the party now in power.
Wesadvise Mr.. German to give his
fool friends a sharp lecture. They
are giving him reputation throughout
the country which, however undeserv-
ed, is calculated to destroy his useful
ness in the larger democratic field out
side of Maryland. There are no doubt
many men who would like to see Mr..
Bryan defeated for the nomination; but
the democratic masses support him
solidly, and it can be said now that
there will not be an anti-Bryan dele
CATION in the Kansas City convention
from any state in the union. The
party organization in the eastern states
is controlled by men who supported
the Chicago platform and candidates.
and they are unanimous in favor of
Mr.. Bryan.
Uncle Beriah wilkins says Mr.. Bry-
an can't be elected. We do not agree
with Uncle Beriah We think that the
cause which the democratic party will
represent in the next campaign will be
indorsed by a large majority of the
voters; but even if it were otherwise,
the democratic party cannot afford to
repudiate its principles. That would
mean the annihilation of the orgahiza-
ton.
