THE MAIN POINT.

We may take some credit to our selves for having from the beginning strongly advised our readers not to be- lieve that the American senate would fail to ratify the treaty of peace. Every American correspondent of London journal has at one time or another de- clared that ratification was hopeless. We have, however, seen too many at tempts to defeat President on an is sue like this, to believe that the dis sentients would succeed here. The country as whole was behind the President. and the position of the wavering senators would have been a most unpleasant one if they had op- posed the action of the administration, when the consequences of their hostile votes had begun to be seen. If the peace treaty had been thrown out, the American government would have been discredited forever in it's nego- tiations with foreign powers.
 Moreover, to shirk in this way the consequences of their action would have been piece of cowardice Of which we have steadfastly believed the American people incapable. Now they have to undo, by arms if necessary, their long YacillatiOn with the Philip pine natives, and when peace is re- stored and civil government thorough ly well established they can give the

THE BEEF INQUIRY.

From tine testimony thus far give!
 before the court of inquiry assembled
 to investigate the charges of of1cia
 fraud and chemical adulteration ol
 my beef preferred by General Miles
 it seems clear that much of the meat
 sent to the West Indies during the wal
 was bad, but there has yet been pro-
 dueed 10 evidence of "embalming" or of criminal act of any sort on the part
 of government officials. General Miles | has himself hedged Oil the corruption | charge-the assertion of ''pretense of
 experiment." Most of the witnesses 1 yet heard have been brought forward d | by the accusing general, so that until
 all the others are heard the case may appear strong against the cclmmissary department, but it is safe to assume
 that the other side of the story will greatly temper, if it does not destroy. the case made out to date. If the beef packers have any ground for defense it is likely to be strong one. Yet even the case as it stands, were no other tes- timony taken, proves nothing more than that the meat in Porto Rico was often fOrbidding and sometimes putrid, fact long conceded to be probable by everybody who knows how hot tropi- cal sun must inevitably affect a com modity of the kind. Those near the sea got good beef and plenty of it, ex- cept when the army was in a convuls- ion of battle. To those who were far away from the refrigerating ships and machines it was impossible to deliver fresh beef in good condition owing to climatic effects. Thus a generous gov ernment sought to do what was never before attempted in provisioning scl- diers in the field, by sending shiploads of beef in such prepared condition that ii could, as was supposed, be more readily supplied to the troops. In car rying cut this humane endeavor it was largely baked by a torrid temperature The government may have been too sanguine in it's plan for feeding it's men, but only an irresponsible yellow journalism has sought and still seeks to brand army officials as thieves and poisoners who hesitated not to take the lives of the troops for their own profit. No matter what further testimony may he adduced to clear them of these aw- ful charges and insinuations, it need not be expected that yellow journalism will seek to do the amende honorable. It will either keep silence or shriek whiteWash!"

POWER BBHINL THE THRONE.

Let us pay tribute in ref1ecting upon the death of President Faure of France, and the inherent worth of the man who had m him the stuff out of which to make a great statesman from a tanners apprentice-let us pay trib- ute to the earnest and devoted help meet who is said to have kept alive in her husbands breast the fires of am- bition and to have been the main cause at least of his high political attain ments. History records many in stances of the dominating though often unseen influence of woman in great affairs, and cur own chronicles have their stories of President Johnson, who was taught to read by his wife, and of Vice President Logan, whose wife's vigor and force were so well known that she was referred to as the better man of the two" Doubtless all these nlen had innate qualities that would have brought them forward, but prob ably none would have reached so high piane without the inspiration and the mysterious intuition of woman, which is often better than the reason of man when decision must be made that will determine the success or fail ure of a career. No triter alphorism was ever uttered than that man rules the world but woman rules the man. Wherever, in individual cases, that is not so it is the verse for the particular lord of creation. Honest men know this and acknowledge it.

A resolution introduced in congress proposes to authorize the navy depart ment to name a new warship "The American Boy" The suggestion is boyish, indeed.

THEN AND NOW IN SAMOA.

The three Powers concerned In Samoan ar
fairs are Great Britain, Germany and the united
States They have not always been in mar
mony Sometimes each has stood alone. ana
sometimes one has had TO stand against the
other two In the latter cases the dual COM
hlnation has not always consisted of the same
two Powers. Prior TO 1889 there was between
Great Britain and Germany formal arrange
ment i'm respect to Samoan independence, but
between them and the United States only a
diplomatic understanding In January. 1852
Prince bismarck boosted that Germany and
Great Britain were going hand in hand in Sa-
moa. and his stool-plgeon Tamasese was recog-
pIzed as King by Great Britain as well MS by
Germany. In those days the United States had
10 'play lone hand" It did SO to some effect,
4 United States warship went to Apia and
Congress voted 100000 for a naval station at
Pago-Pago and 100000 for the general protec-
ton of American interests in Samoa. The re-
sult was that Germany weakened Prince
bismarck tclecraphed to his agents in the ISL
ands TO give up their attempts at annexation,
10 withdraw their proclamation of martial law
over foreigners, and to rellnquish their designs
for sole control of the islands. Great Britain
was willing TO submit TO the right of search.
accordingly withdrew his demand for it, and
admitted that his agents had been acting He
gally. At the Berlin Conference OF 1887, more
over Great Britain acquiesced in the proposal
that Samoa should be made practically de-
tendency of Germany. The United States STOOD
slncle-handed against It, and succeeded in de
feating IT.
In the present crisis the alignment Of parties
Il hat Cor
man Consul joined the forces Of Mataafa IN
disputng the authority Of the Supreme Court
broke forcibly into the Supreme Court ONCE
and set up the German President OF the MI
nicipal Council rs usurping Chief Justice ana
sent him out upon the balcony to yell TO the
crowd that he was the Court and the Chief jus
tee But In those Illegal and scandalous per
formances the British authorities did not acqui-
esce. The British Consul Joined the American
in leading body of British and American ma
rines TO the scene, in forcing way into the court
building and turning the German pretender out'
and in issuing proclamation warning the Ger
mans not 10 repeat their outrageous acts under
penalty Of arrest and Imprisonment. British
subject moreover, climbed to the top or the
building and raised the Samoan flag again, pre-
sumably pulling down that Of Germany In
brief. Great Britain and the United States are
now standing side 10y side in Samoa and 1t Is
Germany who IS forced to play lone hand.
We shall see with what success she does IT..
The combination of Lion and Eagle is pretty
strong one When an American ship or two
shall get to Apia and meet several British ships
there there may yet linger on the air some
echoes of the cheers that were exchanged be
tween the Calliope and the Trenton in that self
same harbor on a day of heroism and Of death
ten years ago next March that will be more
grateful TO British and Yankee than to German
ears.

INSpECTLON OF CHARITIES.

tn, efforts be,ne made ut Albany TO free GER
thin charitable institutions from the inspection
Of the State Board of Charities ought not to be
successful. Controller COler has just been In
yestigatlng a number OF charity abuses. and
reports that several institutions under the law
draw large sums OF money from the city treas
ury on the theory that they receive an equhi
or greater amount from private sources. when
In fact the city is almost their sole support ana
its money largely goes to paying for the main
tenance Of the organization itself. such n slt-
uation calls sharp attention to the need OF
thorough inspection of all institutions profess
ing to engage in public charitable work, ana
makes apparent the unwisdom Of freeing from
supervision any society now subject TO II IN
the face of the abuses which spring from lack
of ii elsewhere
No doubt the people who object TO making
reports 10 the State Board Of Charities are
quite convinced that there is no reason why
they should make them. They know them
selves TO be honest and devoted to ,Aelr work.
They would not do any OF the wrong things
which inspection is supposed to guard against.
Nevertheless they should be inspected just the
same, on the principle which justfes the In
spectlon OF the books Of honest bankers and
insurance companies. To make an exception
Of one institution because II is managed by an
eminent philanthropist, of whom nobody would
ever dream OF being suspicious, would weaken
the whole system Other exceptions would fol
low and before long any charity which could
not obtain exemption would consider itself dis
graced by the refusal. The inspection and SUI
pervision of the State Board Of Charities has
accomplished n wonderful amount of good. IT
has pointed out defects Of administration in
institutions whose managers. with the best In
tentions in the world, lacked the point Of view
which enabled them TO discover their own
shortcomings. II has Systematlzed the admin
iStratiOn Of public charities so far rs the law
allowed. and Il should receive authority to eX-
tend It's work so that different organizations
may be brought into such harmonious relation
as will prevent waste and duplication Of effort,
and guard against the total neglect Of some
unfortunates and the pampering of others.
Societies which receive public money should
he responsible 10 public authority-not merely
responsible in a loose way 10 the Legislature,
but to some body whose inspection means some
thing, whose supervision is Intelligent and not
perfunctory.
Every little indvdualIs in charitable work
tends TO be restless under discipline. Vanity,
local interests, political and personal schemes
all object 10 II. They want free hand. Some
OF them would use It well, some honestly but
mistakenly, some 10 do wrong. We do not say
that In this case all shun the light because their
deeds are evil, but certainly II they succeeded
in avoiding the light the final result would be
the multiplication of evil deeds.
