Why There Was No Courtmartlal'
Mr. Howell asked why there hao ho'
been a court martial investigation OF the
charges against DR.. Tabor IN the Iaiio''
case. ;,
General Wheeler replied that he cons1d-
cred after the report made upon the case,
the initiative of a court martial should De
taken by tho Washington authorities ana
not by himself. He also said IN reply
to a question from Captain Howell that
he had encountered no obstacles in secur-
ing such supplies as he had made requiSl-
tion for. He dad heard of but one in
stance in which surgeon had become
intoxicated. The man was relieved from
duty but there was no court martial, as

bearing on the case.
General Boynton Talks.
General II. V. Boynton took the stand
in the afternoon. Since the Sth of July
he had been on duty at Camp Thomas
Recently his especial duty had been that
of looking after the water supply of that
camp and still more recently and at pres
ent he was in command OF the camp,
which was entirely within the limits of
Chickamauga park. He thought 5000 the
largest number of troops that mad ever
been quartered in the camp at any one
time.
The five springs, 50 far as he knew were
ineXhaustble and only one of them had
been exhausted during the occupation of
the camp by the troops. The wells were
also apparently incXhaustible. In addi-
tion to these 100000 gallons were pumped
every twenty-tour hours from the river
and this water distributed through the
camp by means of pipes. The river water
supply was not designated originally for
drinking purposes, but for cooking, work
ing and other such uses.
Worse Than the Sutler.
Asked if each regiment had sutler

Condolences Returned.

Two years ago st. Paul schools felt
the effect of the movement for reduc-
ton of assessments for taxation. The
schools were caught between the arbi-
trary limitation Of the percentage Of
taxation for their support and the very
largely reduced valuation of property
The prohibition of special legislation
prevented amendment Of the charter
provision, and the board and council
had nothing to do but to cut the gar
ment to the cloth.
Our contemporaries of the other Twin
were profuse in their profession of re-
greet for what they called the reckless
extravaganza in municipal administra-
ton that had so impaired the finances
of the city, and especially were they
lachrymose over the selection of the
schools for the pruning knife. They
chose to ignore the legal difficulty that
made the school fund the one victim of
a deficiency of funds, and left it to
appear that the general financial condi-
ton of the city was bad.
Now Minneapolis is having her turn.
1t is no legal obstacle that has short
ened the school year and made a slash
Of $50, 900 in next years school expenses
necessary; it is merely bad financial
management. Last week the board of
education cut out $50, 800 of expenses,
teachers, salaries, supplies, and the list
must be still farther pruned. A spas
modic effort was made to raise the $780,
coo needed to keep the schools running
for the full time this year. but the eff
fort was abandoned because it received
no support from the people best able
to contribute. 1t is q long lane that
has no turn, and Minneapolis has met
her angie.
We now return the condolences and
counsel rendered st. Paul by Minneap-
oils, through the Times in its issue Of
Jan. g. 1896, with no other change than
the substitution of Minneapolis for ST.
Paul:
1t seems strange to the members Of a
public-spirited and self-respecing commu-
nifty, that any city with an average amount
of local pride, and a decent appreciation
of the Importance of the public schools as
factors in the material as well as the in
tellectual and social development of the
city. would deliberately propose to make
those institutions the first and worst vic
tins Of past municipal extravaganza and
mismanagement. It is Almost incredible
that Minneapolis should shrink from any
reasonable sacrifice. in order to maintain
the efficiency Of her schools Surely there
are more suitable objects and methods #
retrenchment than the educational de-
partment. Better go without street i'm
provements for year two, cut down the
salaries in all the city departments, econo-
mize to .he utmost limit of safety in the
fire and police departments, ii necessary
appeal to the capitalists and enterprising
business men for voluntary contributions
to maintain the citys credit-do any or all
squeezing process to the institutions which,
more than all Others make good citizens
and give the community assurance of a
wholesome and benefcent future.
If Minneapolis finds a bitter taste in
these returned condolences and coun-
sci, it will be because of the substitu-
ton now of fact for the hypocrisy with
winch they were favored when tender
ed to St. Paul

One Point of Similarity.

There is disposition on the part of
his admiring organs 10 compare Nc
Kinley to Lincoln. With every DISPOSE
ton TO be just, we fail to find but one
parallel. and that is in the selection of
a person to fill the important post of
war secretary. Lincoln ratified the bar
gains that had been made in consol-
idating the opposition to Seward, and
appointed Simon Cameron for war sec
rotary, the most important office in the
cabinet at that time The record which
that arch jobber made in the few
months in which he shared with army
contractors their robbery of the public
funds is common property. So noto-
rious did his. jobbery become that his
removal became unavoidable, and Lin
coin let him down easy with the Rus
sian mission.
Already there come from Washing
ton rumors of jobs in arms and coal
which serve to recall the record made
by the present war secretary. They
revive the memory of his connection
with the forma ton of the Diamond
Match trust. that bled the consumers
Of this country so copiously for years
They recall to memory the suit of the
Detroit manufacturer of matches whose
property Alger and his partner absorb
ed, and whose suit for restitution the
supreme court OF the United States
had to dismiss because his contract
with Alger was against public policy.
though the court gave Alger and his
partner roast that was no certificate
of good moral character or of common
honesty. They bring up again John
Sherman's charge of the purchase by
Alger of Southern delegates pledged to
him, in the national convention of 1883.
And they suggest that the secretary will
bear careful watching now. The par
allel will be complete should the presi-
dent, before snow flies, find some va
cant foreign mission as a convenient
let-down for his war secretary

Blind to Its inconsistency,

The curfew law, where it exists takes
another hitch in the control OF the state
over the personal liberty of the citizen. 1t
goes farther than most innovations of that
character in that it invades the family

The Democrat and Chronicle is one

att1ibution to McKinle yism of all the
virtues that work for prosperity and

CARDS the policy of protection as divine
in its origin as the tables delived on
Sinai. If pushed to an expression Of
it's deepest convictions, we doubt not
it would avow its faith that that policy
was inadvertently omitted from in
scription upon those historic tables
And yet we find this ardent advocate

that it would find itself in an unpleas-

BEFORE THE CENTURY CLUB.
Prof. Martha FOote Grove, of the
Chicago University, Delivers Her
First Lecture.

woman with strong personality and
peculiar fascination all her own-Mrs Martha
Foote Grove, professor in the Chicago uni
YeTsity, gave her preparatory lecture before
the women of the Century club yesterday, and
won Tor herself their very warmest approval
Pref. Grove spoke in Park Congregational
church, this being the first of her Saturday
series Of lectures before the Century club and
the collegiate alumnea. The subject of the
series is shakespeare and England's Early
Playwrights," and her remarks yesterday
were on the early theaters, how they were
built in the liberties and why the corpora
ton OF London would not allow them in the
city.
She said that the way had already been
prepared for the coming of Shakespeare or for
some one else. The natural course OF evo-
luton had made the opportunity. and Shake
speare was the one to profit by it. If it had
not been he 1t would have been some one
else.
She told of the, effects of the Puritans on
the theeters CT that time, and how this led
to their being prohibited in London.
The drama in the earlier days leaned more
toward the spiritual, and in contrast to this
Mrs. Grove spoke Of the fact that the pres
ent day critics study the method of the
actor rather than the moral pointed b. the
author, which probably detracts from the
latter.

MAKES AN ASSIGNMENT.
The Prevalent Trust Company Turns
Over Its Affairs to Edward Yam

The Provident Trust Co. yesterday
filed in the district court an assign
ment, naming Edward Vanish as as
signee. The deed Of assignment, signed
by Albert Scheffer as vice president
and E. J. Dewitt as secretary, states
that judgment was entered and docket
ed against the company by E. De F.
Barnett for s1O, 292.56 March so, 1898.
AS the company is indebted to divers
persons in considerable sums and by
reason of losses and misfortunes, is at
present unable to pay said judgment
and in order to prevent the judgment
creditor or any one else from obtain
ing a preference and that all might be
treated alike, the assignment was
made.
The summons and complaint in the
case. on which the judgment was Sc
cured against the Provident Trust COM
pany sets up that that in August, 1896,
a. Fl. Castle and r. c. Munger, CO.
partners as A. H. Castle & Co., became
insolvent and made an assignment to
F.. De +. Barnett. That, as such as
signee, Barnett on Nov. l, 1896, deposit
ed with the trust company $4,000, and
on Nov. II, $7,50I49. and, although de-
mand has repeatedly been made, has
not been able to secure the payment
of the certificates Of deposit.
The trust company made no answer
to the suit brought by Barnett and
judgment YVES taken by default.
The Provident Trust company was
organized in June. 1895. with a capital
stock of $500, 900, of which, according to
the articles of incorporation. 5000 900
was to be paid in when the company
commenced business.
One of the gentlemen interested In
the company stated yesterday after
noon that the company owed about
$25, 900 and would pay dollar for dollar.

Talks About Rad Boys.

Ex-Gov Pecks lecture at the Metropolitan
opera house Thursday next is certain to
attract large and distinguished audience.
The popularity of the lecturer will no doubt
contribute to this in no small measure and.
then his subject will draw from such widely
divergent elements.
Those who have a lively personal interest
in bad boys viii be anxious to discover the
colonel's secret of developing the good in
them while others will be there prepared to
enjoy with Ieenest relish anything he may
say derogatory to the conventional coed boy.
And, II the reports that come from other
towns where the lecture has been delivered,
is true both these classes will go away feel
ing that they have received the worth OF
their money.

Our ..Interests" in Cuba.

The interference of the United States
with the insurrection in Cuba for the
purpose of bringing about cessation
of hostilities is justified by its propo-
nents on two grounds, the injury to
our material interests that has fol-
lowed the outbreak, and the shock to
our sensibilities given by the brutali-
ties of the warfare there waged. We
have preferred to put the justification
on the first ground because we have
been unable to idealize the insurrec-
tionists and measure them by the same
standards by which people of our race
are measured A people whose great
est delight is a Sunday bull fight can
not be judged or gagged by the same
standards that would be properly APP
piled to a people whose civilization
revolts at such display at any time,
and especially on such a day.
The sole question. as we have here
tofore put it, is whether there is such
injury to the welfare of this country
to it's material. commercial interests,
as to warrant our putting a stop to the
struggle peaceably if possible, forci-
bly, if necessary. In his reply to the
memorandum of the powers, the pres
ident spoke of the Chronic condition
of disturbance there which so deeply
Injuries the interests and menaces the
tranquility Of the American nation,
besides shocking it's sentiment
of humanity" thus putting foremost
the material interests affected. The
humanitarian ground was largely cut
out from under the feet of those who
made it their sole feothold by the re-
cent release of the recOncentrados and
the appropriation made for their return
to the country and support there until
they could become self-supporting.
The ordinary hardships of warfare
would not, alone, warrant interfer-
ence.
The material interests are largely
commercial in their nature. They in
clude the mutual interchange of prod
ucts, the sale to Cuba Of our produce
and the purchase of hers. These are
matters of statistics. The investments
of our citizens in sugar plantations
and in mines and shipping amount to
very large sum, incapable Of precise
statement, the profitableness Of which
has been seriously impaired where not
wholly destroyed. Claims already filed
with the state department aggregate
many million dollars. The Cuban
trade, diminished by the revolt of 1865
70, was increasing steadily Our ex-
ports of $10,000,00O in 1888 rose to SPA
0oO,OCO in 1898, and in 1894 preceding
this outbreak, were $4,000, goo. They
fell to $12,OOO,OOO in 1895, $7,5OO,CO0 in
1896. and sS,25OOOO in 1897. On the
other hand, our imports of Cuban prod
ucts, amounting to $4,000, 900 in 1885,
rose to nearly S79,OOO,OOO in 1893, and
fell, under the blight of insurrection,
to SIS, 600 in 1887. Here Is a disturb
ance of commerce. the direct conse-
quence of the revolt, sufficient to justi
fly the use of means to prevent it's con-
tinuance, without reference to the dis
turbance of domestic markets and the
peace of mind of our people by the
Warlike conditions excited in this coun-
try.

THE SPRING ELECTIONS.

No newspapers account of an unevent-
full election is complete If it fails to remark
that the election passed off quietly" That
was the case In Anaconda yesterday, yet the
spring election attracted a good deal of at
tention, and some OF the wards were warmly
contested. In Anaconda, the result was a
substantial Democratic success. The election
leaves the city council as it is at present
with eight Democrats and four Republicans
No question relating to municipal manage
ment, except along general lines, furnished
an issue in this city yesterday. All around
good men were running, good men were elect
ed, and the result Is altogether satisfactory
Anaconda has six wards. Three Democrats
were elected and three Republicans.-Ana-
conda Standard.
Helena Is to be cCmmiserated upon the re-
suit Of its election. 1t had an opportunity
to continue under Democratic rule, which
took charge Of the city when it was in
condition bordering on bankruptcy, and placed
it in position of financial stability. 1t had
chance to continue so and to elect mayor
who would at least not have brought it into
disrepute. But the thirst for office was too
much for the Silver Republicans and the
Gold Republicans and the Democratic ticket
was sacrificed at the pie counter. Conspuez
such unholy alliance-Butte Miner.
There was one drawback In Dubuque this
spring-the attempt to run a mere local cam
paign upon narrow, proscriptive, factional,

opposed matter of principle, and
many other Democrats who believe in the
principle are opposed as matter of policy.
Dubuque seems to be the only place that
has taken a backward step. Alone almost in
the whole country it has gone from Democ-
racy to Republcanism. 1t certainly shows
that the leadership is faulty for the current
