The Canteen.

Col. William c. Church, editor
Of the AymY and May ToHynak, in
an interview says:
do not believe that the men in our
army should be restricted in the use Of
liquors in moderation. By their use, l
believe, disease would be warded of.
believe in the canteen, and was sorry
to notice the other day that some good
people were trying to have the canteen
at Montauk abolished This would be
a mistake, Only non-intoxicants, beer,
and light wines, can be obtained there,
and these only in limited quantities.
The mean, nonsensical criticisms
which the Hoice, a prohibition
paper, passed against this gentle
man, is in good keeping with the
rest OF the flimsy trash that these
poor noloriety seeking editors
publish in their illustrious Jour-
nal. 1t is true that General KItch-
ener and the British Government
did not believe in the canteen.
That is, in the way it is conducted
here. where it is an army canteen
and the soldiers pu; in together,
buy and dispense the liquors at
their own expense.
In the Egyptian and all other
campaigns conducted by the Brit
ish, the soldiers are treated like
men and feel like men, not like
dogs. Their canteens are filled
with the best liquor, furnished by
the commissary, and at their meals
they regularly receive their mugs
oil ale and beer. This is fact
which our poor prohibitionists can
not deny. In comparing Skaters
half-dead army ofinvalids, gasping
at Montauk Point, with the tri-
umphant Anglo-EgYptian army
which, after a campaign Of unex-
amPled hardships. has just cap
tured Khartum, with hardly trace
OF sickness in all its long desert
march, it is plain to us that it
would have indeed been far better
for Gus boys if that incompetent,
General Shafter, instead Of reius-
ing. had allowed that cargo of beer
to be landed.

Put an End to Haz,ng.

1t gives us much satisfaction to
learn that West Point Cadet Smith
is to be punished for hazing.
We had hoped that this cowardly
and detestable practice of hazlng
would have by this time disap-
peared from our military estab-
lishments. 1t isa practice so igno-
BILE and so unmanlY that its eradi-
cation is indispensable to their
honorable names. 1t means sim
ply the oppression and humiliation
Of the weak by the strong, the tor
ture OF the helpless, the triumph OF
the coward and the cad. 1t con-
stitutes in morals, as it should in
iact, brand oil infamy upon every
one who engages in it. 1t is diff.
cult, if not impossible. to imagine
that any one capable OF such an
odlous offense can be gentleman,
and it seems to us to follow, as
logical consequence, that he is un.
fit to be an officer ia the United
States army.
1t must be remembered that
these youths are training Tor Off
GERS and gentlemen. Some oithem
are born to fitness, others hope to
have it conferred upon them by
precept and experience. But the
tact remains that he who would in
flict a cowardly and mean humil.
ration upon a helples victim is
lacking in every essential qualifi-
cation for his chosen career, and
we are not sure that he who sub
mits tamely to such an outrage is
much better of. Several years ago,
it will be remembered, Cadet Buck
OF Texas set an example by shoot
ing one of his tormentors. Why
this example has not been followed
we do not know.
Hazing is nothing less than in
fanny. 1t breeds towards and bull
lies, tyranny and meanness. 1t
should be suppressed even if every
fourth class man had to sleep with
a revolver under his pillow, and if
a dozen craven hoodlums were
shot TO death each year. Our army
were better, cleaner, Of higher tone
and more chivalrous spirit, as the
result Of such purgation,

Liquor Tramc Interrogation.

The Twelfth Annual Report of
Hon. Carroll d. Wright, Commis-
sioner Of Labor, embodying the
result of his Investigations into the
economic aspects Of the liquor
question, has Just been published.
The book contains chapters on the
production, consumption, and traf-
fc IN liquors, the revenue from the
production ofand traffic in liquors,
and the experience and practice OF
employers relative to the use Of
intoXicants. 1t also contains a
synopsis of the laws of the United
States, and Of each State, regulat-
ing the revenue derived from the
liquor production and traffic, and
tables bearing upon every phase
OF the economic aspects Of this
question.
The investigation in this form
was begun by the Department OF
Labor some years ago, and was
intended to be carried out on diff
ierent lines and tor different objects
than the prohibitive measure
known as the Alcoholic Liquor
Commission, which the Editor of
the WASHINGTON SENTINEL met
and defeated so many times before
Congress. Whether or not this is
our old friend masquerading in a
new dress an examination, which
we reserve for future issue, only
can tell. Candidly we are inclined
TO think that it is not.

Too Late.

Wednesday there was news that
Alger and such OF his fellow in.
competents as were with him were
openly denounced for heartless in
competence by the officers OF Camp
Thomas. Now comes the news
that the Chairman and the Vice
Chairman OF the Republican Con-
gressional Committee, Mr.. Bah
cock and Chairman Hull oil the
House Committee on Military At
fairs, have begged Mr.. Mckinley
to save the party from defeat by ac-
cepting Alger's resignation.
Evidently something swifter and
more drastic than lamb investi-
cation by crippled committee is
going to be done or attempted.
There may have been a time
when simply getting rid Of Alger
would have made strong favora-
BILE impression upon the public
mind. But that time has long
passed. The public wrath has long
sin3e swept into the path OF public
vengeance a great deal more than
Alger. Ii has been made too clear
to the public mind that Alger is
only part of a scandalous malad-
ministration OF the army that radl-
ated from Mr.. Mckinley himself.
What could Mr.. Mckinley pos
sibly do at this late day to remove
from his Administration the odium
Of committing, of covering up, OF
defending, OF persisting in the great
unpunished and unrebuked and
unabated crime?

filthy, by saying that he had. To
our further question: IA there

emphatically that there was not,

AT THE THEATRES.
The New National.

"The Christian" one Of the greatest
attractions OF the season, will be the
real magnet to amusement seekers of
Washington at the National next week.
Monday evening Miss Viola Allen. for
the past FIVE years leading lady OF the
New York Empire Theatre Stock Com.
pany, will make her formal debut as a
star in the character Of Glory Quayle in
Hall Gaines play, founded on his famous
novel 1.-THE same title. This production
has attracted unusual attention since II
was announced, three months ago, as
the vehicle to be used by Miss Allen for
her first starring tour. No novel pub
lished in this county for ten years created
such a sensation as THE Christian"
caused among all classes OF people, and
its production on the stage, with Viola
Allen as Glory Quayle, became at once
an event of especial interest to every
reader of the book, who looked forward
to IL with most eager expectancy. II
was therefore most pleasing announce
ment to the Washington admirers OF
Hall Caine and THE Christian" that
the first formal production Of the piece
would be made here Monday evening at
the National. and also that the great
author himself would be in attendance
to witness it.
The part OF Glory Quayle could not
be put in more competent hands for
faithful portrayal than those OF Miss
Allen, whose superb natural talents,
matured by long experience with the
leading stars OF the country and as lead.
ing lacy of the best equipped dramatic
organization in New York, has made her
the most conspicuous artist on the
American stage, Her supporting COM
pany will be an excellent one. Too
strong in herselfto need mediocre talent
as a contrastive background to her
splendid art, she has selected for her
support actors and actresses Of the
highest ability each exactly suited in
talent and personality for the part that
he or she portrays. Probably no more
carefully considered cast for a great play
has been selected in America for many
years. With the aim of translating the
characters from the book to the stage
so faithfully as to fulfill every conception
Of the reader Of the novel, the person
ality OF each artist received fully as
much consideration as bis or her ability
as a player. Thus some oi thS greatest
difficulties, and one of the absolute
cehtairues OF success, in dramatizing a
popular novel, was at once overcome and
attained.
The cast of principals is as follows,
but in addition to these characters,
there are 40 minor speaking parts which
will be played by experienced actors and
