Approves the Canteen.


WASHINGTON. Nov. I'm his annual re-
port Adjt. Gen. McKeever says deser-
tions from the army the past year were 42s
less IN number than the previous year.
Tho heaviest proportion Of loss was in
artillery, n.6 per cent, the infantry losing
9.S and cavalry 81 per cent. Gen. Mo
keever recommends new laws rela-
tive to summary courts and limiting
oourt-martials' sentences, and says the
adoption of a we'll considered code of pun
ishments for all military otfenses except
those specifically prescribed by the rules
and articles Of war, will undoubtedly re-
move great source Of irritation and dis
content. resulting from the present inc
quality OF punishment awarded Of
ct different times and different posts.
Progress is reported to have been made in
the establishment of the canteen system.
Al present canteens are in successful opera
tion at sixty eight posts, and during the six
months ended June 80, 80. transacted .
Of $3.50. General McKeever says: 'Some
misconception has grown mp in the public
mind in regard to these institutions,
engendered, no doubt, by the generic
term used as q designation. As conducted
IN the American service. a canteen ID simply
cooperative establishment in which gem
eral business, under careful military super
vision. is conducted in the sole behalf Of
the enlisted men of the army. There can
be NO question that it contributed largely
to the comfort and entertainment of en-
listed men, and thereby improved and
strengthened discipline throughout the
service.

why the New Tariff Is objectionabl.


Harper's Weekly, in offering some COM
ments upon the passage Of the Mckinley
tar1h bill. SAYS: ut is not tariff in itself
70 which objection is made. There is no
oispositlon to resort to direct taxation. But
1t is the unreasonable and exorbitant rates
OF the new tariff and its inequitable distri-
button which have stirred public feeling 90
deeply, and have ELECTED strong nrotesta
even from friends of protection. The pres-
ent generation in the country understands
the question much more clearly than before
Mr.. Cleveland's famous message. It sees.
for instance. that under the plea of Just
protection of American labor fairly distrih.

1lltnois Republicans Are Slowly Collecting
Their Scattered VITA
CMoAao, Nov. 7.-At last returns from
the state Of Illinois have become sufficient
" complete to announce decisively the re-
suit on state ticket. The democrats have
won, and Edwin s. Wilson, Of Olney, is
elected state treasurer by II, ,486 and Henry
Raab, OF Belleville, superintendent Of pub
lic instruction by 36,144. The compilations
have not been made yet on the trusteeships
Of the University Of Illinois. but the indi-
cations are that the three democratic nomi-
nees are also elected by slight majority.
Not until to-day have the republicans OF
Illinois realized the full extent Of the ava
lanche which has obliterated their
old-time majority in the state. Fuller
returns to-day showed that in ad-
dition to democratic gains heretofore
announced of congressional districts. Con-
gressmen Payson and Hill also have been
defeated and Snow and Stewart, democrats,
elected. Both Congressman Hill and Paw.
son have telegraphed the Associated press
conceding their defeat, tho former by $50
and the latter by zoo to 700. This makes
the congressional delegation from Illinois
stand a democrats and 6 republicans The
great delay in arriving at the authentic
conclusion In this state has been due to the
lateness Of returns owing to q tremendous
amount of scratching. All estimates on
SA6h previous reports we're based were
valreleas IN view o1 the political tidal wave
which swept over the state and which ID ust-
precedented IN the history of Illinois.
