Gen. Nelson A. Miles, head of the

day in personally investigating Rock
Island arsenal, a government manu-

in the country, which he had never

its marvellous record in meeting the
emergency in connection with the

when the argument is finished, and
the wage Garner who has seen and felt
the practical operation of the IS gar
nishee law is left by the statesman to
content himself with the idea that the
burden of persecution has been lifted
from his shoulders by the law as it
stands-in other words. that the pay
ment of amending justices and con-
stables fees is nothing of 4 persecu-
ton compared with the liquidation of
the debt direct. And, by the way,
there are few wage earners whose OPP
position to the old law would be found
based on the theory that man who
repeatedly fails to pay his bills on $50
n month may he prosecuted into los
ing his job. The working man-eyen
the low wage Garner, to whom Payne
refers and to whom he says the IS
garnishment law is such a blessing in
disguise-would prefer to apply his
savings on the account at the corner
grocery than to turn them into the
Justice shop to feed constables.
Payne Appends His Record.

Payne appends his record, and also
offers the highly interesting informa-

library at the court house, where the
public generally is invited to call and
inspect--and think of him. There
will doubtless be a perfect crush of

now on, and the good sister may find

A Quiet Visit.

The fact that the three cities had no
knowledge of Gen. Miles visit, and
the first information that he was COM
ing leaked out at the Burlington de-
pot, where a train order disclosed the
news, was proof sufficient that he was
here for the one purpose of inspecting
the arsenal, and that he will make a
favorable report on his return to the
national capital there is no doubt, but
what will follow remains for time
alone to demonstrate.
Gen. Miles party left at II O'Clock
last night over the Rock Island for
Chicago to participate in the peace

grounds, shops, surroundings and
general makeup and capacity of the

leaving the inference that the authori-
ties at Washington had awakened to a
realization of the Importance of Rock
Island arsenal, and had it in mind in
connection with whatever increase
the army supply production they had
in contemplation.
Gen. Miles and his party were shown
through the shops, after which they
were driven about the island in car

the general did not visit on day
when the shops were in operation, he
nevertheless saw enough to impress
him with the unlimited capacity of
the arsenal, and he so expressed him
self.

The Queen Regent of Spain has par
doned the Americans who were taken
from the schooner Competitor in April,
1896, as she was engaged in landing
military expedition on the Cuban coast.
These men, including the captain, mate
and steward of the schooner and a
newspaper correspondent, were tried
by court martial soon after their cap
ture and sentenced to death. The
United States government interviewed
to secure for them trial by the civil
courts, in accordance with our treaties
with Spain. The cases were the sub
ject of protracted diplomatic CORE
spondence and of several debates in
congress. The course Of Spain, in set
ting the men free, removes one of the
most serious causes of irritation be-
tween the two countries.

Last year the girls in a school in
Brookllne, Mass, took lessons in bread
and cake making, while the boys
learned carpentry and carving. This
year the girls are making wooden ia
,bles and chairs, but the boys, one day
each week, are taught to make coffee,
to boil cereals, to broil steaks, to fry
and scrambled eggs, and to make ONE
let's. One boy, while admitting that
the failures were many, remarked that
cooking was much nicer than saving
boards or hammering nails, Cos you
can walk around and talk and taste
all the things" Whatever that cook
ing class may do for the boys, the les

Boiled down into plain, everyday
English, the verdict of the Lowering
court-martial is this: If you are a pri-
vate, you have no rights which are
entitled to average respect; if you
are commissioned officer, you may do
anything but embezzle government
money and property or refuse to pay
gambling debts, and your feelings as
an officer and gentleman will protect
you against merited punishment.
