The Macrum case is owe Mac

The Macrum case is over. Mac
rum is a dead issue. w. E.. Cur
tbs, the Chicago Record orres
pondent, says:
1.-The investigation was a failure
so far as the democrats were con-
cerned, for they expected to dis
close some kind of a sensation for
campaign purposes. Mr.. Macrum
is a pricked bubble and his little
term Of notorietyhas expired. The
real reason for his desertion of his
post at Pretoria-at least the rea-
son he has given to his nearest
friends-was his fear that his wife
and baby might suffer it Pretoria
was besieged by the British army,
and it was certainly commendable
solicitude on his part. Mrs. Ma
crum would not leave Pretoria
without her husband. If he re-
manned at his post of duty she
insisted upon sharing whatever
dangers he might be compelled to
endure, and rather than run any
risks as the penalty of such devo-
ton he applied to the state depart
ment for leave of absence, which
was refused him. If Mr.. Macrum
had been candid he would have
had the sympathy of many people,
but in order to cover his real mo-
tive he assumed an air of import
ance and mystery and talked about
disclosures and valuable informa-
ton that could not be trusted to

In speaking of the failure of d.
Appleton & Co. and Harper Bros,
the New York Evening Post says:
unfortunate from every point
of view as the failure of two such
houses is, there is no warrant for
the conclusion that it indicates a
falling-away in the public appre-
citation of literature, or that pub
fishing enterprises, when wisely
and conservatively managed, are
more hazardous than they former
ly we're. They are, no doubt,
somewhat less profitable, as most
forms of business activity are, for
the percentage of profit has
shrunk. But the market for good
books is larger than it ever was.
The share Of the profits that now
goes to authors is larger, and the
share that goes to publishers is
smaller than used to be the case;
but it has hardly yet come to pass
that the downfall of publishers
can be laid at the door of authors
greed. These two failures, at any
rate, must be laid at the door OF
the publishers themselves.

Beef cattle, strange to say, were

There is more catarrh in this section
OF the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by constant
ly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proved catarrh to be constitutional
disease and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by f. j. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is taken internally
and in doses from 10 drops to tea
spoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system.
