The sentence of six years suspension
from rank and duty, which was pu.
upon Gen. Eagan by the President, is
not half so bad as it sounds. During

cupation that may please his fancy,
go wherever the notion strikes him to
60, and continue to draw the salary of

been suspension from rank, duty and
pay, it might be considered hard one,
but Eagan ought to consider himself

Senator Allen of Nebraska speaking
of VIM. j. Bryan said in the U. S.

knowledge and capacity of any living
American statesman. History will
rank him with Webster and Clay as
one of the greatest statesmen our coun-
try has produced. 1 regard him as
brilliant comet in the political sky as
were Webster and Clay in their time.
1 know him to be not only able and
patriotic, but absolutely sincere in all
his words and actions. He is not q
demsgogue, as the groundlings and
tumblebugs of politics would have the
people believe" Mr.. Allen then read
some further newspaper comment re-
fiecting upon him as to his action and
by tntimstions impugning the purity
of his motives. 81 have never occupi-
ed doubtful ground, said he, t'upon
this treaty. From the time it was
completed in Paris have intended to
give it my vote" Referring further
to an intimation that he had been given
administration or Republican iDflu-
ence in his senatorial fight in Nebraska
Mr.. Allen declared there was nothing
President Mckinley could give him
that would possibly affect him or his
opinions. "I would not" he declared
"accept Republican influence in behalf
of my re- election to the senate. 1t ha.
not been offered, but II it were would

Liberal Profits of These Enterprising
and Industrious Persons.
Review of Reviews.


A new industry has had a great develop
ment during the last year-that of trust
promoting, in which NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
thousands-of men are now engaged. While
there are many failures in this new indus
try, a dozen men have during the last eight
months made enough money TO buy up all
the claims in the Klondike. One unusually
successful man is said to have received be-
tween $30,000000 and $4,000 900 in stocks for
his work in organizing trusts. Out of this
amount he has had TO pay the expense of
securing options and charters, and. in some
cases, to share with other promoters. His
net proceeds, however, at present market
prices of stocks probably exceed $4,000 900,
and maybe twice that sum.
While there is no fixed percentage of
stocks allowed TO promoters or claimed by
them, per cent. of each kind of stock is
minimum ever received. This percentage is
said to have been paid to the promoters of
the international Silver Company and will
be received by the promoters Of the United
States Vinegar Company should they sue
ceed in getting underwriters for it.
The promoters of the Republic Iron and
Steel Company are said TO have received
100000 of common stock. Those of the
National Tube Company and of the Amer
lean Steel and Hoop Company are also said,
in each case, TO have received s5.O0OOOO The
promoter of the American Tin-plate Com
pany received $1,000, 900 In common stock,
now worth over 100000. He is said to
his own capital and at prices unknown to
the various members Of the trust. So that
while SlSOo0.OO0 each of common and pre-
ferred stock were set aside with which to
purchase plants, it may be that he made
even more than the $10O0O.0O0 of common
stock allowed to him. Rumor says that the
promoters of the American Steel and Wire
Company received 600 In stock This
is probably exaggerated. On Nov. %, 1898
Gerritt III. Ten Brock, of st. Louis, sued
John W. Gates and Elbert Fl. Gary for

received had he and the others not been
displaced as promoters. He was to get

DECENTRALIZATION.
Trouble Taken to Make Alcohol Too
Nasty to Drink.
The lancet.

Decentralization is a term which is
now applied TO that process which renders
certain substances unfit for human con-
sumption. The process has become neces-
sity in modern times In order 10 promote
fairness in commercial competition and TO
cheaper certain commodities when used ex-
clusively in industrial operations. Thus a
few years ago the manufacture of caffeine
was almost monopOliZed by Germany on ac-
count OF the fact that tea intended Tor hu-
man consumption in this country was too
expensive TO extract Owing, however, to
the representations of English scientific
manufacturers a revised regulation was
damaged tea could be admitted duty free
provided that Ii was "denatured' and rem
.dered wholly unfit for human consumption
by treatment with lime and asafoetida.
Tea treated in this way is now used profit
ably for the manufacture OF caffeine, and
England has become the chief seat of the
manufacture and has thus completely
turned the tables upon her competitors, for
now the alkaloid is exported from this
country to Germany and America. SIM

THE OUTLOOK IN THE PHILIPPINES.

Washington dispatches state that the
President and his advisers are much graft
fed at the recent report of Professor Schur-
man regarding his trip to the southern
islands of the Philippine group. There is
every reason why they should be. Prepare
tory to leaving the Philippines for the United
States Professor Schurman visited a large
number Of the southern islands, and in every
instance he found the conditions either posi-
lively favorable or not unfavorable to Amer
lean rule. In some cases he reported that
while the natives are not likely to render
US much assistance. they will not oppose
Us. In some he found a distinctly friendly
feeling, while in. others 1t would be neces-
sary TO use tact and diplomacy to bring
the natives into line. but there was no
danger of fighting THE question in the
Visayas." he reported, "is political, instead
of military. Whenever Aguinaldo is crushed
the Visayans will submit passively. They
are awaiting a settlement in the island of
Luzon. and are willing to abide the result"
While Professor Schurman was making
this tour of the southern islands General
Lawton, Colonel DENLY and Professor Wor-
cester visited Las Pinas for the purpose of
establishing civil government there as the
beginning of similar system in all of the
captured cities In the Cavite province. Gen.
eral Lawton returned to Manila on July 3,
and dispatch says: He is greatly pleased
with the success of his visit. He estab-
lshed civil government at Las Pinas. in
stalling natives in the various offices. and
established a censorship over the local press.
The outlook. he says. is very promising"
There is every reason why the Washington
authorities should be satisfied with these
reports Fighting in the Philippines has
evidently ceased for the present. The rainy
season is on. the insurgents are exhausted,
and General Otis is awaiting renforcements,
which he will have in time to take the ag-
gressive at the close of the rainy season. #
the insurrection does not collapse before
that time. The war is confined to the island
of Luzon. and with the remnant of Aguin-
aldos army scattered the rebellion will be at
an end. 1t would have ended before this
but for the encouragement the insurgents
have received from disoyal Americans, and
when Aguinaldo finds he has nothing to
hope for from that quarter he will prob
ably accept the inevitable and beg for peace
The military situation in Luzon indicates a
speedy ending of the war there. and Profess
sor Schurman's report indicates that nc
serious trouble need be apprehended in the
other islands. When the natives once begin
to experience the blessings of American
government there will be no further diff
Guilty.
