Governor Roosevelt Says Embalmed
Stuff Was Rotten.

Major j. M. Lee, representing Gen.
Miles asked: "With your experience
with the First Volunteer Cavalry, will
you please give the court your opinion
of that canned roast beef as an army ra-
tion."
Gov. Roosevelt in reply: al regard it
as utterly unfit for use and an utterly
unwholesome ration for troops. The
canned roast beef we had at Santiago
was an unfit and an unwholeI,me ra-
ton. l make that statement without
equivocation.
81 have seen the cans which have
been tested here and are said to be
wholesome, but l state most emphati-
cally that the experience that | had with
my regiment with that canned roast
beef proved to me beyond the shadow of
question that the canned roast beef we
had was at the best unpalatable and at
the worst UNBEATABLE and unwholesome.
ITO the majority of men under me it
was not only 80 unpalatable that but
fraction of it could be eaten, but it was
sufficiently unwholesome to tend to
make many of the men sick when they
did eat it. That was not only my expe-
rience, but it was the experience of all
the men with whom | was thrown
"The cans when opened would show
on top what looked like layer of slime
"a very disagreeable-looking substance.
The beef inside was stringy and coarse
looking, like bundle of fibres. Some
times we could stew it. If you could
stew it with potatoes and onions you
could eat it, but think | would have
eaten my hat then if it had been stewed
up with potatoes and onions"

Poisonous Rations Were Issued.

The evidence already taken by the in
vestigating committee proves that pois-
onous meats were issued as rations to
our soldiers while in Cuba last summer,
and that much of the sickness and death
in the army was due to that cause. Now
let the committee say who was to blame
for the poisoning, and let justice be
done even though the secretary of war
be one of the guilty parties.

Hanna Made the Mistake

When Hanna sold Alger cabinet po-
sition for an enormous campaign con-
tribution, he supposed that almost any
one was big enough to fill the office of
secretary of war. AS Dooley has point
eddy explained, there is world of diff
ference between being secretary of war
and secretary of a war. This difference
was wholly overlooked by Hanna when
he made the original contract and his
mistake has been costly blunder.

There is considerable speculation
about the changes likely to be made
next year in the democratic national
platform. This much we think is al
ready settled. If the Chicago platform
is reconstructed in 1900, the work will
be done by its friends and not by its en-
emies.
