BEEF TRUST REPORT

Since the conviction of Machen and others
for fraud in the Post Office Department
there has been little public mention made
of any further Investigations in that
branch of the government service The
public curiosity had been for the moment
gratihed by the s. lion of the Jury in the
cases named. Its clamor for the punish
ment of those proved to be crooked in their
dealings with consprators against the gov
ernment was satisfied and the matter was
seemingly dropped Later came the investi-
cation of the office of Edwin c. Madden,
third assistant postmaster general. for al
legged dealing in sample stamps made by
the Bureau Of Engraving and Printing
The Office was purged of this charge and
little interest was taken in the case from
the fact that no one was injured by the in
Vestgaton. 1t appeared that what was
wanted by the public was proof of crooked
ness after the Machen frauds had been dis
covered and not proof of integrity in office.
The Beef Trust.
Investigations were, therefore. supposed
to have come to close in the Post Office
Department at least and attention was d.
rected to the work of the bureau of cor
porations, of the Department of Commerce
and Labor, Commissioner Garfield of the
bureau having entered upon crusade
against the S0-cailed beef trust. This mat
ter then took the front of the stage and
has since held it, although little has been
forthcoming upon results of the work
of the agents under the orders OF Commits
sioner Garfield. His report on the subject,
comprising manifold details of the methods
of the beef producers of the country in
placing their goods before the consumer. Ii
about ready and will be placed in the hands
of the President within a very short time.
1t will then be submitted to Congress and
If anything appears which will give the
government cause for action against any
conspirators working in opposition to the
Sherman act. the Department of Justice will
be called to attend to the matter in ex-
emplary fashion.
Commissioned Garfield refuses steadfastiy
to speak on the matter. but 1t is UNDER
stood that the agents In the field discov-
cred certain elements In the transactions
Of the beef trust which win give the gov
ernment the opportunity of making It un-
pleasant for 1t to continue along the
same lines. Various forces have been at
work in this connection. the Independent
cattle raisers being no small factor In
sisting the government In its investigation.
The report will be made known to the peo-
pie soon. but at this time nothing can be
told of its contents save the barest init

criticise the terms under which the new

as being too high, considering that the
amount OF the loan is comparatively smalf
one. The Asahi Shimbun expresses the

UnhOIy Alliance.

1t has been said that politics make strange
bedfellows. And we believe the saying is
true. But the strangest of all bedfellows are
the gullible prohlbitionists who form an al.
lance with the shrewd elements, which favor
licensed saloons, to break up the dispensary.
Senator Brice, we believe, avows that bis
bill was intended to break up the dispensary
without object for the future. A trojan
horse, SO to speak.
The injustice Of his bill as presented, in
allowing counties which vote out the dispen-
sary TO share in the profits OF the liquor, and
his failure to provide a scheme for raising
money in those virtuous counties to enforce
the dispensary law, revealed the injustice OF
his proposition, and the Legislature in its
wisdom, made proper provision both for the
enforcement of the law where there was no
dispeusarIes and for denying profits to such
counties as did not have the dispenssry.
The dispensary will be a source OF trouble
as long as the temperance men make an un-
holy alliance with the liquor element.
The prohibitpnist who has a thimble full
Of brains ought TO know that the majority OF
the men aligned with them are opposed TO
the dispensary and are In favor OF the Ii
censed sale of liquor in the bars.
They ought TO know that their natural
allies are temperance people, and not liquor
advocates.
They ought to know that If they could, by
an alliance with the liquor men, overthrow
the dispensary, that the liquor men would
immediately establish another plan for sell
ing liquor.
They ought 10 recognize the fact that the
dispensary gives prohibition from sunset TO
sunrise.
They ought to know that under any other
plan Of dealing with liquor, the night time
was the most fruitful OF evil.
In York and in Saluda counties especially,
the dispensary is being brought into politics.
We are glad to state that, as far as we know,
the temperance people OF Abbeville are be-
having themselves, and are not consortlng
with the liquor elements, If there is any
such element in Abbeville. The fact Is we
know OF no considerable sentiment which
would either destroy the dlspensary or return
to the old way of dealing with liquor.
The temperance people, who favor a cur
tailment in the liquor ira fic would do more
good II they did not consort with the liquor
element, but directed their energies toward
the enforcement OF the law. The law Is being
openly violated every day, but the friends OF
the law must remain silent or their protests
might be used to the disadvantage OF the law.
AS a lifelong prohibltionlst, and as an alb
stainer from the use OF lntoxicants for more
than sixty years, we say, without any fear or
successful contradiction. the dlspensary Is
the best liquor law that we ever had. And
we have had in this town: License, prohibi.
ton, high license and dispensary. The worst
and most wicked form of dealing with liquor
is the high license. 1t gives a monopoly, and
the inducements to fraud in measure, in quail
lily OF liquor and in higher price are great.
