A singular election law Is in force In
Belgium. It provides that every man

ballots each, and If such married men

The Astorian Is Indebted to Senator
McBrlde for a copy of the letter of the
secretary of the war transmitting the
report and recommendations of the
board of engineers concerning the Im
provement of the mouth of the Colum
bia river. Some admirable arguments
are given why this improvement shou d
be made, but it is to be regretted that
a public document of so important a
character should be weakened ani
marred by willful or careless inaccuracy
of statement The tables purporting to
how the Imports and exports from the
Columbia river are not only in conflict
with other official statistics published
by (he government, but are so obvious
ly inconsistent with each other as to
be valueless for reference in Impress
in); congress with the importance or de
sirability of the proposed improvement
That the whole subject is treated from
the most ultra Portland standpoint
may be Judged from the flagrant viola
tion of truth and the real facts of the
situation involved in the deliberate as
sertion that while Portland is locate 1
fully 120 miles from the ocean no
delays are experienced by vessels in
getting up and down the river, but all
tbeir vexations detentions are due to
the shoaling of the bar b;low Astoria.
It is hardly credible that Major Fisk
and Captain Langfitt meant to deliber
ately He in tbeir official communications
to the government, but the conclusion
is irresistible that somebody who has
aided them in their reports did so mean
to do, and the probable explana
tion- is that the figures relating to
imports and exports, with other data
used by them, was procured from that
colossal fraud, the Port of Portland
Commission, or Its companion In hypoc
risy and co-worker of iniquity, the
Portland chamber of commerce. The
Astorian has an official statement, with
name, tonnage, value of cargo, destina
tion, time and cause of detention, of
every vessel which entered or left the
Columbia river. during the year 1833,
and if the Oregonian makes any foul
reply to this eminently Just and moder
ate criticism of the rotten rule-or-ruln
commercial ring; which controls Port
land, this statement In contrast with
the mis-statements sent to congress
will be printed in pamphlet form and
mailed to every member and every
committee of the house and senate in
Washington.
This man Macrum's story Is doubt
less either untrue in toto, or it la so
highly colored and exaggerated as to
be entitled to no con.iil'ratlon from
the American public. But ruppose bis
story is true In every detail, what sort
of a representative of this government
was he to desert his foreign post in a
country engaged In carrying on a great
war which at any time might have
made an American diplomatic officer
of the utmost importance from an
international standpoint in Pretoria?
Macrum made no complaint to hi gov
ernment of alleged tampering with hi
correspondence and official document.

to believe that considering England's

InveHiiKAttfd that this man Macrum Is
a liar as well as a traitor to his coun
try's Interests. Think for a moment of
tn humiliation to which Macrum has
subjected this country! Wh.n the Kru
ger ultimatum was issued, the IlrltUh
government asked our state depart
ment to request the consul of the Uni
ted States at Pretoria to take charge
of British Interests and to safeguard
such British subjects as could not
leave the Transvaal. Remembering the
good office of the British consul at
Santloga de Cuba to the Hobson party, I a famrahle report on the shipping sub
Secretary Hay voiced the sentiments j sl !y hill from the house committee on
of evtry cltixen of this country when
he promptly directed Consul Macrum
to act as the custodian of British In
terests. It was a high compliment to
the young man to act for Kngland as
Mr. Cambon had served Spain during
our recent war. How did the man who
misrepresented us abroad act? He ran
away, lie says he wasn t afraid but
thai his sympathies were so strongly
enlisted on the Boer side that he could
not act a a temporary servant of her
majesty. He came home enveloped in
cloud of lcyst.ry, which he encour
aged, ratner than dlssipit-jj, at every
st.'p of his journey. He made a laugh

British consular service. He llunked.
There should be no delay In dealing
with Vacrum's case, neither the United
States or Great Britain can rest for a
moment under the Imputations he puts
upon both government. Macrum must

"IN TIME OF PEACE."
Philadelphia Times.
Less than two years ago sundry and
various English papers commented
scornfully up-jn the spectacle of an un
prepared nation hurrying about the
world' marts in 8-aeh of munitions
and appliances of war. The same
papers contrasted the bungling un
readiness of the United States for the
then inevitable contest with Spain with
the preparedness of Great and Mighty
Britain for any like emerg ncy.
Without asumlng a knowledge of the
total result of General Buller's latest
attack upon the Boer positions, the
question may now be asked without a
tremor of the voice, Wa England well
prepared?
True, In the words of a boastful Brit
ish song, she "had the ships, she had
the men and she had the money, too."
But how, In the name of Loln's Nek,
Spionkop, etcetera, have they availed?
Judging preparation by results and
promise by performance, the much
maligned Santiag-o campaign was a
triumphal march by the side of any
