These figures show of themselves the i'm
portance this reduction in rates will be to
Omaha jobbers. According to law the rates
cannot be restored without ten days
notice and any shipment in transit at the
time OF restoration must be carried at the
lower rate. No local railroad man believes
the rates will be permanent or that they
will stay in force for any considerable time.
There is a feeling the rates may go lower.
The Mallory and Morgan lines of steamers,
which make the gulf ports, are strong cor
porations and are fighting for a differential
which they alege is theirs of right. Whether
the eastern steamship lines, with the longer
rail haul can maintain a successful fight
against these southern lines with shorter
rail haul will be developed in this contest.
But the interests of the Chicago and St.
Louis jobbers is another factor in the con-
test and their influence may be felt in re-
adjustment of rates. The railroads may de-
eide to protect the jobbers in those cities IL
the contest gives indication OF being con-
tlnued indefinitely. and in that event there
are sure to be more reductions. While the
war continues however, the Omaha jobber
will reap the benefit and it is probable most
of them will get in large per cent of their
fall and winter stocks before the rates are
restored

that later in the season, when the farmers

PROTECTING A RECRUIT.
Capt. CaprOn'H Way of Managing

DDS with his men. says a writer in the
New York Sun. 1t is time honored
custom in the regular army to give
rookie. or new recruit. much more than
his fair share of fatigue duty. The
regulations protect each man, but 1t
takes the recruit some time to learn
his rights. On the morning in ques-
ton Capron's men had received orders
TO build their intrenchments higher.
corporal had put lone private al work
carrying gunnysacks of sand and pill
ing them along the battery trenches
The poor fellow staggered back and
forth with the heavy bags. fairly DRIP
ping with perspiration. The other men
of the battery were scattered about ID
the shade of the trees, taking mon
ease. Capt Capron emerged from ms
tent, and with a grim smile surveyed
the scene. Then he shouted
you. sir! Come here, sir"
The rookie marched up sack on back.
AS he said himself, he was scared StlIl'
Capron looked him over sternly:
Drop that sack. sir"
The recruit dropped it as il it had
been red hot.
stand at attention, sir"
The order was obeyed with evident
apprehension as to what was coming
next.
Don't you know your rights, sirf
Because you are willing horse they
are working you to death. One man,
sir, doesn't do all the work of battery.
The first sergeant will instruct you.
That will do. sir!'
BY the time Capron had completed
his reprimand and reentered his tent
a dozen privates had carried a sack each
to the trenches and the rockies morn
ing task had been completed in about
three minutes.

Serious Outcome of the " EN-

There must indeed be something b.

officers of the army, one of them the
senior commander, so far forget them
selves rs to indulge in such foul Bill

The language used 10y bo.h Miles and
Pagan was of such nature that both
should be court-martialed for conduct
unbecoming officers in the United
States service and for disrcspect for the
uniform they wear The Investigating
Commission guaranteed immunity from
any persecution from superior officers,
To any one who should appear before it
and give testimony. But both Miles
and Eagan took advantage of this loop
hole and strained the privilege under
which they testified into one of absolute
carte blanche. The commission ordered
much of the language in Eagan's tcsti-
mony expunged from the record, and
the same should be done with that OF
Miles. No public journal has yet been
seen, that does not severely criticise
Eagan for his neglect of military dis
cipline and disrespect to superior 1t
can also be said of Miles, that he has not
been very careful of his language in
regard to the Commissary-G General, and
some Of his accusations and criticisms
Of that departmental official are
enough to cause almost "A saint to lose
his temper. Abuse and villification is
not testimony, or argument, and
these braSs-buttoned, lace-hcspangled
officers with scandal mongering tongues
should be given lesson in discipln
they would never forget The good OF
the service demands it and if rgor-
ou,ly applied it will serve as an exam
pie AT once wholesome and necessary.
There is entirely too much jealous bick-
ering, in both army and navy. and the
sooner HE remedy is administered, the
better it will he for all concerned.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. Is, '99.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. Is, '99.
One of the most disgraceful affairs
that has shocked army circles and the
public generally in recent years occur
red before the Wal Investigation Com
mittee last week when Commissary-
General Esgau appeared before that
body and gave his testimony in regard
to the changes that had been made
against his department and himself
personally, about the beef that was
furnished the soldiers during the late
war. 1t has been called "embalmed
beef and some charges aver that
chemicals of injurious nature were
used to keep the meat in the hot eli
mates OF Cuba and Porto Rico, in con-
sequence of which the men were made
sick and others could not eat the stuff,
which soon became putrd and unfit
for use. Major-General Miles in his
testimony had said that Eagan was a
murderer aud was the direct cause of
the death of hundreds of our brave
soldiers by furnishing them beef that
was improperly put up or "embalmed, "
as he termed it, and that he should be
coult-martialed for incompetency aud
! discharged from the service.
In the face OF this prov"cation it was
unnatural to expect Eagan to refrain
from tearing his shit. which he did
and that of another also. His refer
ences TO General Miles, although his
commanding officer, were such as were
probably never heard before. He cali
| ed him "liar in his heart, in his mind,
in every hair of his head, in every pore
! of his skin, aud that his heart was AS
| black as that Of the tiend who blew up
the Maine" He wound up this fiery
declaration by saying that if the
charges Of General Miles were true, he
I Eagau J. should he court-martialed and
dismissed from the service, but if not,
then Miles was the colossal liar Of the
10Th Century and should be drummed
out of camp
|, is probable that the commissioners
were so taken by surprise that the red
hot words came out before their senses
prompted them to stop the maddened
officer. Their only course was to have
General Eagan revise the statement
and eliminate the Objectionable fea-
lures. This has been done, and now
the papers say that cnurt-martial
awaits the tire-eating Commissary
General.
1t is said that when the war was de-
clared, Miles was urged to go to Cuba,
but refused, being afraid Of the yellow
fever. General Shafter was appointed
and on the eve of the capture of Santi.
ago Mile comes to the front and wanted
the glory of the victory. He should
have gone to the front at once. His
entry into Porto Pico WAS more in the
nature of triumphal march than any
thing else. Miles enmity for Alger
has led to much of the criticism of the
methods of the Commissary Depart
ment and long before Eagan made his
notorious denuncialiOn of Miles, the
latter had been prosecuting him
through the rress and otherwise until,
as he says himself, human nature
could moi stand ii. The a'Ove ia

General Joe Wheeler should Be
Sustained.

There has been much discussion on
the merits of the fight being made
upon General Joe Wheeler as to his
right to a seat in Congress, on account
of having accepted a military office
during the late war. Among the leaders
of the opposition is fellow Democrat,
MIR. Bailey, of Texas, who is supposed
to be a very bright man, and the leader
of his side in the House This repre-
sentative had a resolution passed re-
Gently declaring Wheeler and several
other members. who accepted military
positions during the war, debarred from
membership in the House. Whatever
may be the grounds for this strange,
| autagonism and de-ire to press mere
technical point, is not material our
main cause of contention, instead of
disqualifying the brave General from
participating in the affairs of Congress,
it should be u rosy pathway to that
distinguished honor. General Wheeler
is held in greater esteem by the Ameri-
can people on account of his bravery
and patriotism than thousand Baileys
or other gentlemen who seek to put his
! military office in the way of his mem
bership to Congress. The Constitution
of this country has something TO say
on the point of holding other offices,
and it does not seem to imply, in this
connection, anything relating to mill
tary services, especially in time of war,
when country needs the help of her
! loyal sons, no matter in what position
they may be plac d;
Section VI, paragraph Of article |,
says: "NO Senator or Representative
shall, during the time for which he was
elected be appointed TO any Grill office
under the authority of Tia" United
States, which shall have hren created
or the emoluments whclt. shall have
been increased during such time"
The word civil clearly releases Gen.
eral Wheeler from responsibility. Oh
course he cannot hold two offices, so tC
