Some EaganisIns.

The Government assigned an army off,
Ger, Col. o. NJ. Smith, TO duty at Chi
cago as purchasing agent for the army
He was expected and required to do all
the meat buying from the Chicago packers
So specific was his authority that any con-
tract for meat which did not go through his
hands must naturally excite suspicion No
adequate reason could be given for such
failure.
Yesterday there appeared before the
Board of Enquiry now holding it's sessions
in that town. this purchasing agent of the
Government. When asked about the con-
tracts for canned meat and about his rea-
sons for buying the article he replied that
all he purchased during the war with Spain
was on the direct personal order of Charles
p Eagan. which left him without discre-
ton. He further affirmed that some pur-
chases Of canned beef were made by the
Eagan entirely without his knowledge.
The significance of this is apparent when
it is understood that Colonel Smiths sole
duty was to make the purchases himself
according to the acquisitions that came to
him through regular channels. He was
not overwhelmed by his duties to degree
that made it necessary for the Chief Com
missary at Washington to violate the GUS
tom and make a direct purchase of canned
beef at Chicago and TO withhold informa-
tion of the fact from the recognized buy
ing agent. II is not easy to find an ex-
planation of the transaction that does not
suggest unpleasant things, in the light of
recent revelations concerning the quality
of the beef. If it was intended to make
contract that was not as favorable to the
Government as the regular purchasing
agent would demand, or II 1t was intend
ed to contract for beef that could not meet
the approval Of that agent, the business
would be done in exactly that way.
1t is interesting, too, to hear one of the
Swifts on the subject Of the error which
the Eagan said crept into a contract.
The former asserts that the contract bound
the company for the preservation of the
beef for only twenty-four hours after leav-
ing the ship This was found to be the
case when the Alger Relief Commission
examined the document. Such an arrange
ment was so obviously In the company's
favor and against the interests of the Gov
ernment and the soldiers-it was SO plain
ly absurd to buy meat for an army away
from the coast if IL could remain sweet only

less of his party associations. could be
counted on to defend and promote the
concerns of his own people.
1t is not apparent that this is true now
Since the facilities for travel have devei-
oped, and in every State there is a min
CLING of persons born elsewhere; since the
expansion of the newspaper business SO
that all people are subject to much the
same influences, there is no such diversity
of opinion on public questions as formerly.
Except in the matter of Federal patronage,
which is chiefly In the interest OF political
partisans, a Senator is of little special
benefit to his State. Then, the attitude oil
each Senator is usually determined by a
party caucus, to which he is more FIRMLY
bound than to the dictates of his constl-
tuents We have recently witnessed the
independent action of Senators contrary 10
the sentiments of the people of their own
States as well as of the country. Senator
Hale. for example, was censured by the
entire Legislature of Maine, for ms posi-
tion on the Treaty question.
AS there is no surety that Senator will
act according to the desires of either the
people or his party in his State, or that his
vote is required to insure the adoption OF
party measures; and as his most important
work is the control of Federal appoint
ments, it is not apparent that vacancy is
a calamity. At any rate the affiiction is
not so serious as to warrant the election oil
a man who is not able to command votes
enough on any other grounds.

The CranioIogy of Criminals,
CFrom Science

What are the differences between the s,splIs
of criminals and those of respectable people?"
This is the question which N. L. Pitard under.
took to solve by comparing the erania of fifty-
one conviets, who had died in the penal colony
of New Ca.edonia, with the average crania OF
the citizens of Paris. Practically there turned
out to be no constant difference at ALL unless it
was that the vertical index of the criminal
skulls were slightly higher; in other words, the
cenvicts are brainier than the good folks.
There was also the same amount of variation in
tne heads of the criminals. Some were long,
Others broad-skulled; some had notably Large,
Others small, cubical capacity; these variations
running parallel to those of the general popu-
laton. NJ. Pitard's article, with abundant data.
