The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says: "It is stated on good authority
that Attorney General Knox has given
his attention to the charges of illegal
practices made against the Beef Trust
with a view of bringing to bear the
weight of the Federal power for their
suppression. This is very we'll; but no
immediate relief can be expected at
the hands of the law. The beef eaters
might bring instant pressure by abb
stention. Congress could act effectively
by repeal of the tariff duties on inn
ported live stock and meats. The rail-
way companies could also help to
break the back of the trust by stopping
the payment of rebates. Late exposures
have created a very healthy public
opinion. which in the end will make
itself felt

WAR ON FILE REEF TRUST.

The war on the beef trust seems to
have begun. 1t is stated that the At
torney General has instructed the
United States District Attorney at
Kansas City to convene special
grand jury and investigate the COM
plants against the trust
1t is to be hoped that the war on the
trust has begun, so that if the trust
has been putting up prices without
any other reason that an agreement
to squeeze more money out of the peo-
pie the fact may be authoritatively
known. On the other hand. if the rise
in the prices of meats is justified by
rise in the prices of cattle and of food
products then those facts should be
known.
What the people are protesting
against is monopoly that is believed
to be practically robbing the people.
II they are protesting without good
reason the fact ought to be known But
why were not proceedings begun in
Chicago rather than in Kansa City?
There are great packing houses in the
latter city, but the real home of the
beef packing interest is in Chicago. If
the government has begun proceedings
against the trust the public win have
some interesting information soon on
an important subject.

CONGRESSMAN BRANTLEY's LET
TER

The letter which Congressman Brant-
ley sent to the Brunswick Cane and
Cassava Convention, expressing regret
that he could not be present and take
part in its proceedings, shows that he
is profoundly interested in whatever
is calculated to assist in promoting the
progress and development of South
! Georgia. 1t is evident from what he
says in his letter that he keeps him
self well informed in regard to all
matters pertaining to the welfare of
that portion of the state. He dis
cusses the cane and cassava POSSIBLE
tiles as intelligently as If he had given
the most thoughtful study to the ques-
tion of the adaptability of the South
Georgia counties to their production
He is right in saying that, it hav-
ing been satisfactorily demonstrated
that sugar cane for the purpose of
making syrup can be grown profitably.
every energy should be devoted to the
making of uniform grade of syrup,
so that 1t would have a high market
value. 1t is well understood that one
of the reasons why Georgia syrup does
not command as high a price as it's
merits entitle it to, is the lack of uni
formity. Under the present system on
most Georgia farms, of maxi
ing syrup, it is practically
impossible to satisfy the market for
the reason that there is such a va
riety of grades. In fact, it is a pretty
hard matter for a farmer, under the
present method of manufacturing
syrup, to turn out an article that is
of an even grade, although his output
may not be more than two or three
barrels. There are farmers of course
who have modern appliances for MAX
ing syrup, and who take the greatest
care in preparing their product for
market. 1t is worthy of notice that
they get about twice as much for their
syrup as those who do not exercise so
much care.
Mr. Brantley seems to realize fully
the benefit cassava will be to this Sec
ton of Georgia. He is inclined, from
his study of the subject, to believe
that the cassava crop is destined to
be greater source of wealth than
cane. He is of the opinion that with
cassava, South Georgia can become a
great cattle-raising section. Not only
/ that, but cassava, if grown as success
fully as it believed it will be, cannot
help bringing about the establishing
of great starch factory interests.
Mr.. Brantley was particularly ac-
tive in the effort to get the Secretary
of Agriculture to be present at the
Brunswick convention. Indeed. he is
active in promoting everything which
he has reason to believe will be of
value to his congressional district-in
fact, to the entire state. His constitu-
ents do not have to write to him more
than once to get what they want. if
1t is within his power to comply with
their requests. He is showing himself
to be so capable. and is keeping SO
closely in touch with the needs of his
district, that it is probable that he
VIII represent it as long as he wants to.

THE BRITISH HupGET.

The people of England are no doubt
earnestly hoping that the negotiations
for bringing the war in South Africa
war should continue for another year
there would likely be troublous times
in English cities. The budget for the
coming year. which was presented to
Parliament on Monday, provides for
an import tax on wheat and flour. It
is true that the tax is not heavy
one, but it is sufficiently heavy to be
seriously felt by the poor. There are
many thousands of people in English
cities who cannot afford to pay any
more for food than they are paying
now. A bread tax therefore would
bring forth protests, and might provoke
riots.
The cost of the Boer war for three
years is shown by the budget to have
been about $3.50, O0O, 900. That is about
three times as much as the British
government thought it would cost when
it was begun. 1t may cost a great deal
more before it is ended, though it is
ter said, when he presented his budget,
that the government is prepared to
make very great concessions in order
to bring about peace. The terms pro-
posed by Mr.. Chamberlain, the Colonial
Secretary, namely, unconditional sur
render, have been abandoned.
But if the war should be ended at
once Great Britain would have to ex-
pend a very large amount in restoring
the farms of the Beers and restocking
these things in order to hasten peace
and restore good feeling between the
Beers and the British.
Great Britain is of course a very
rich nation, but her national debt is
now so large that the interest upon it
will, for many years to come, be a
heavy load for her taxpayers to bear,
even though her commerce continues
to be as great as it is now. The in
dications are, however, that there is
going to be falling off in her COM
merce. She has two great competitors
now for the trade of the world, name
ly, the United States and Germany,
and both of them are showing extra
ordinary vigor. 1t is a safe prediction
that Great Britain will make great
concessions before she will permit the
present opportunity to bring the South
African war to close to pass unim-
proved.

Lack of poverty kept him from be-
ing a great man"-so an old friend
summed up the life of Col Blanton
Duncan, news of whose death in Los
Angeles, Cal, reached Louisville
Thursday says the Courier Journal.
Brilliant, alert, quarrelsome, strenuous,
he jumped about all his life from one
thing to another, never striking long
enough at any one scheme to achieve
success.
His aggressive spirit, however, could
not long remain quiescent, so he fell
in love. The young woman was Miss
Atkinson of Henderson, a famous
beauty and an heiress. Her parents re-
fused absolutely to hear of the match
The strenuous young man from Louis
vile could not bear being baked. The
young woman would not marry with
out the approval of her father and
mother less determined person than
young Duncan might have given up,
but he only came back home to plan
some scheme for winning the old peo-
pie over In his dilemma he hunted
out George d. Prentice. the famous
editor, to whom he told his troubles.
well, Duncan" said Mr.. Prentice,
so the old story runs, 81 couldn't pos
sibly write anything about YOU alive,
DuJ II you were only uedu Ia get yOu
up an obituary to make her wear crepe
all her life r
'sAll right, I'll de- replied Duncan
promptly.
And two days later the report came
out that Blanton Duncan, the agita-
tor, was dead True to his agreement,
Mr.. Prentice wrote a beautiful and
touching obituary. Then, in few days,
young Duncan came to life with a
story of how the mistake had occurred
The next week he set out for Hender
son with the obituary neatly packed
in his grip. On his return trip the reg
ister showed Mr.. and Mrs. Blanton

pie call up places over the telephone

will be crowded with Savannah visit
ors for the exposition. This is Sa-

nah to give Charleston liberal support

1t has been asserted in several quar-

that Gen Estrada Palma. the Presi-

Cuban leaders. There have even been
dark hints to the effect that Estrada
Palma would never be permitted to
take the oath of office. Whether or
not there was a basis of truth for
these reports, the fact is that the
