OUTLOOK ENCOURAGING.

The outlook in regard to our foreign
complications" is encouraging. The
Aaitien Incident appears to have been
closed according to precedent thus rob
bing that incident of any phase that
would afford US an excuse for making
faces at Germany. Evidence accumu-
lates to show that the Hawaiian annexa-
ton scheme is losing ground. and as
10 foreign Power wants the islands-not
even Japan-the chances are that we
won't be able to get up an excitement
over this matter. Last, but not least,
there appears to be a growing DISPOSE
ton on the part of Congress to take the
Presidents advice, and give the Sagasta
ministry reasonable time in which to
test its policy regarding Cuba.
OF course, 1t is not to be expected
that there will not be outhursts on the
Cuban question by one or more con-
gressional jngoes. but that portion of
THE Presidents message devoted to
Cuba sets forth our duty so clearly. and
is calculated to prove so reassuring TO
Spain, that these outbursts will hardly
be calculated to awaken sympathetic re-
Spouse in this country or cause undue
resentment in Madrid. The foreign COM
plication situation, therefore, would seem
10 justify the hope that this ses-
sion of Congress will contribute much
less to business unrest than it was feared
IT would some weeks ago.
However wrong the President may be
on other questions. he news very closely
TO the line of what is right touching the
Cuban problem. His discussion of that
issue has a more practical bearing upon
business than any other part of his mes
sage; seeing that it is accepted that
none of his currency reform recommen-
dations can pass the Senate. The bust
ness interests OF the country would
therefore. do well to stand by him on
the Cuban issue, TO the end Of dis
couraglng and discrediting the irreconci-
able jingoes in Congress-; for If we
can secure a season of freedom from
war scares and agitaticns that play into
the hands Of the speculative element, un-
settle values, and render capital timid
business will go ahead. despite the per-
nicious legislation of Mr.. McKinley's
party last spring and summer.

THE LOWERING CASE.

secretary-of-War Alger, in carrying
out the sentence of the court-martial
in the case OF Captain Lowering of the
United States army for brutal treatment
of Private Hammond, administered
merited rebuke TO the members of the
court-martial. The sentence Of the court
was that Captain Lowering be repri-
manded and the reprimand Secretary
Alger administers embraces hardly less
severe censure of the court than %
CAPTAIN Lowering The Secretary, while
admitting that Hammond deserved pun
ishment which should have been in
ficted '1n a lawful way" says that 1t
is a disappointment that an offence as
grave and an example so far reaching
as Coverings should have been visited
with so light a penalty, and that such
lack Of humanity as was exhibited In
the case by the officer deserved a more
severe sentence than mere reprimand.
Moreover, the Secretary indicates that he
thinks the sentence ought to have been
dismissal from the army; for, he adds,
the committing of such acts as that
of Lowering degrades the officer more
than the soldier he Furnishes, and shows
unfitness for the care and command Of
men.
So far as the public knows, the Lover
lag Hammond case is the most aggra-
waited that has occurred in the United
States army for long time, but if re-
ports are to be credited, cases of de-
grading privates and non-commissioned
officers by reducing them to state Of
lackeyism and by the exercise of mar
tinetism are not rare This condition of
things tends more than anything else
to prevent the securing of a higher per-
sonnet in the rank and file of the army.
The self-respecting soldier is the best
soldier, and the dismissal from the SER
vice of officers guilty of such offences
as that of Lowering, and the punish
ment of all other officers who require
of privates and non-commissioned officers
the performance of tasks not justified
by the army regulations, would not only
increase the self-respect of the men al
ready enlisted. but attract more self
respecting class of recruits in the future
Secretary Alger says the enlisted men
have rights under the military laws. as
Well as the officers. This is unquestion-
ably true. and the rights of the enlisted
men ought TO be enforced to the letter.
Such policy, so far from proving detri-
mental TO discipline and the good Of the
service, would conduce to both, seeing
that in time it would draw into the army
material that would take pride IN both,
and sustain heartily the imposition of
any lawful and just punishment for
offences against either.

OUT OF HARMONY.

That part of President McKinley's mes
sage which is devoted to civil service sug-
gests that he does not know what is going
on in certain revenue districts, and the
like. The President says, among other
things, that during the past few months
civil service has been placed upon still
frmer basis Of business methods and
personal merit; that dismissals for mere
ly political reasons have been carefully
guarded against, and that "a distinct ad-
vance has been made by giving hearing
before dismissal upon all cases where in
competency is charged, or demand made
for the removal of officials in any Of the
departments"
How does this harmonize with the
internal revenue decapitation acts that
have taken place In this district, West
Virginia, and New Jersey?
The President also says that an order
has been made that keeps every employee
keenly alive to the fact that the security
of his tenure depends. not on favor, but
on his own tested and carefully-watched
record Of service. This may be the
Presidents Interpretation of the order,
but the acts of certain collectors of in
ternal revenue speak louder than the
Presidents words, as not few faithful
government employees have discovered
TO their sorrow. While the President
keeps the word of civil-service promise
10 the ear OF the public at large, heada
of subordinate departments break IT to
the hope of the individuals more directly
and vitality interested.

II will be observed that some counties
are inserted in the list for purposes OF
comparison with other counties, where
the expenses seem to be extravagant.
Mr.. Winborne has done good service In
calling public attention to these facts,
which cry aloud for reform legislation.
We learn that a proposition will be
made to amend the laws, sc as to put
upon the Commonwealth all costs in
felony cases, and to put upon counties
and cities all costs in misdemeanor cases.
In this way IT is expected to meet the
objection that If all the criminal expenses
were laid upon the cities and counties,
some of the small counties might he over
whelmed by the burden of a great trial.
such as that of Cluverius, which took
place in Richmond some years ago.
1t strikes us that the plan suggested
is worthy of careful considerations 1t
may not be free from all objection but
II promises to put an end to some of the
extra yagance that now prevails in GER
tain quarters, and we cannot see how
any county or city could be "swamped"
by having to bear the costs OF the mis-
demeanor trials. OF one thing we are
sure. and that is. that il the counties
had to foot the bills now certified for
payment by the State, public sentiment
would soon work reform.
In the large tax-paying communities
law levying all Of the criminal expenses
upon the counties and cities would be
popular. But Notwithstanding the fact
that Richmond contributes to the public
treasury vastly more than is returned to
her. we should not like TO see any course
adopted that might lead TO the defeat OF
Justice. We hope the plan Of dividing
the costs will be thoroughly canvassed.
Perhaps it may be found to offer solr-
ton of the difficulties that have harassed
the State so long.
We repeat the expression OF our be-
lief that If the counties and cities had
to bear the burden of executing justice
in misdemeanor cases, the lynx-eyed tax
payers of each community would see
that these costs were largely reduced
from what they have been Of late years

THE DEAF, DUMB, AND BLIND.
A GIaring Opportunity for Rctrench-
ment md Reform.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
IL. as / see in Sundays Dispatch, "the
uppermost idea with members OF the
General Assembly is to 'cut down ex-
penses," 1 think I can point out an op-
portunity on which they can all unite
In the report OF the excellent Superin-
tendent OF the Virginia Institution Tor

the Blind for the fiscal year ending Sep
TENDER 20, 1897. page Z. find the follow
ing: THE last Legislature made TINS q
free school TO all children OF our state
too deaf or too blind TO learn at the
ordinary public schools. while before the
beginning of the session OF 1S96-'W eacn
pupil was charged $50 year for board
and tuition where the parents were able
to meet this expense. Now, every child
who attends the school receives his board
washing, tuition. books. medical attend
ance, and all other incidental expenses
OF the school-room free of charge. Pupiis
are also clothed by the institution, wherc
their parents will furnish satisfactory EVIL
dence Of their inability to do So"
As a natural consequence OF the Grip
ping the resources OF the institution by
this act / find on page IS OF the same
report that the Superintendent asks the
Legislature for an increase OF the an
nual appropriation to s36,5OO and says II
the pupils now asking admission are ad-
mitted the appropriation will have to be
increased TO $4,000
In common with the great mass or tax
payers of the State, ] never heard OF
this act Of the last Legislature before
IL is needless TO say that II was
gross imposition On the taxpayers, and
should be repealed. Every man with
heart wishes TO do all that is needed TO
be done for these afflicted children, but
no man believes that cur institution
should be made a free hotel and school
for children whose parents are able TO
pay.
| would suggest TO the members OF the
Legislature that the law be repealed, and
that parents of children applying for adj
mission be required to make affidavit OF
their inability to pay. which affidavit
shall be inquired into by the County
Judge, and If I'm accordance with the
facts be endorsed by him and sent to
the Superintendent of the institution.
As the expenditures OF the institution
for 1861 included the whole Of the 49,
90 appropriation, besides balance CT
81 .22S from the year before, and draft
on the Board of Visitors for $50 and
still was short of paying out by the sum
Of S21S. / presume that the new law mas
already cost the State S2Co, which was
formerly paid by parents able to pay.
Mr.. w. A. Bowles is making an ad-
mrable superintendent, but it is utterly
impossible for him to run an educational
institution on the privileged almshouse
plan without an appropriation suitable
TO the latter charity. When fees are
abolished. then the State taxpayers have
to pay the piper The 5000 would pay
the interest on 100000 Of the State debt.

THE INDUSTRIAL BUREAU.

The meeting held in the hall Of the
Chamber OF Commerce night before last
was largely attended by representative
businessmen. and the question of estab-
fishing an industrial bureau in connection
with the Chamber was exhaustively dis
cussed.
The probable advantages and pos
sible disadvantages of the movement were
carefully weighed, and the conclusion
reached was highly favorable to the
scheme. But our people are to be put 10
further test when they are asked for
the additional subscriptions that are ne
oessary to ensure life and activity TO the
bureau. We trust the responses will be
generous and general. The larger the
number OF the men who commit them
selves to the enterprise by subscribing TO
it. the greater will be its chance of sue
