Army Beef Scandal.

Commissary- General Egan, who was so in
censed at Gen. Miles for condemning the
beef furnished the army that he denounced
him in bitter terms, is being shown up in a
bad light by the committee investigating the
charges by Gen. Miles Maj. Black, who was
chief commissary on Gen. Miles staff, testi-
fed before the committee last week, and a
part of his evidence was as follows:
Il called upon General Eagan to confer with
him concerning the conduct of our affairs at Ponce
He asked me why the refrigerator beef was not Is
sued at Ponce and replied that il was because the
issue commissaries did not want it, as they were
getting native beef. Thereupon General Eagan
became very much excited and exclaimed God
d-n them, they have no right to refuse II. con,
slider it the best beef in the United States and God
d-n them, I'd have made them take it.
Of course; make them take it What is
the life and health of the army in comparison
to the profits of the beef packing companies?
They must have business and profits out of
army contracts, and if some soldiers sieken
and die the government can call out mere
troops.

Perhaps Another Great Duty.

A war between Turkey and Bulgaria is i'm
minent, and Russia and England may be in i
voIyed. When it is at its height, it may be
in order for the United States to intervene in
the interest of humanity. The hand of Prov
idence may direct it, end it may be our duty
to ehristianize with the bayOnet and benevo-
Iently assimilate with shot and shell the in
habitants of some provinces of Turkey and
Bulgaria. The United States may have
another great christian duty to perform, in
the opinion of contractors and spectators,
who seems to have a hold on the Hanna
Mckinley Administration.

Advance in wages-The Cause.

There has been an advance in wages gen
orally in manufacturing industries, aad par
ticularly in cotton and iron. Some 10000
employees are affected By the rise at New
England cotton mills alone, while the rise al
iron and steel mills in Pennsylvania Ohio
and Alabama affect many thousand more
bread winners.
The advance. however, ONLY restores The eah
in ,caqes made last year, and is only made to
avoid strikes while orders are active asd
abundant. No employer has Advanced 'cdges
simply TO benefit labor. They are merely
protecting themselves from loss Of time over
arbitration in the scale Of wages Nc matter
if self.interest is the cause of the advance IN
wages. all good citizens rejoice ia the ad-
vance. There can be no permanent prosper
ity in the country, as the ADVOCATE recently
remarked. unless the body Of the people are
embraced in it. Agriculture, the basis OF all
prosperity, aust be reached. and the advance
in the wages of labor, consequent upon de
mand for cotton, iron and steel products,
will enable mechanics aud laborers 10 consume
more of the products of the farm-wheat,
beef, pork, milk, butter, eggs and vegetables.
In turn. the farmers will be better able to
purchase the products Of factory and loom.
Much of the activity is due to the demand OF
the government for war ships, cotton goods
for clothing and tents, and food supplies for
the army. The McKinieyites throw the re-
sponsibility of the war upon Providence, but
the activity in manufactures aud the advance
in wages are claimed as results of the Ding
lev tariff. An uncalled for and cruel war
against people struggling for liberty and IN
dependence as we're the peoples of the Amer
lean colonies in 1910, is charged to the hand
of Providence, and the demand for certain
manufactures growing out of that war IS cred
tied up to a Republican tariff act. In one
instance responsibility is shirked; in the other
a war result is credited to partisan tax
measure. No responsibility is assumed for
the odious, annoying and vexatious stamp and
license tax That is merely result of a war
inaugurated and guided by the hand of Prov
idenee.
Some religious cranks, fanacucs ana fOols
may be deceived by the ''hand of Providence
dodge, but the great body of the people know
that the war was piece of uncalled for in
termeddling in the affairs of another govern
ment, and part of scheme of capitalists
and others to expand our territory for the
sake of personal gain.
The ways of Providence are the ways Of
peace and love- Strengthening the Fiiipinos,
whose only offence has been desire for lib
srty, independence and selfgovernment, and
the taking of their soil, is not only contrary
to the ways of Providence but disgrace TO
our civilization, denial of our Declaration
of Independence, contrary to the advice Of
the great Washington and an annulment of
the Monroe doctrine.

Lawyers and Negroes.

The american is railing at the Baltimore
city Democratic ticket as "a Lawyers Tick
ct Lawyers have generally been supposed
to be fairly respectable people, and this is the
first public effort in Maryland to hold them
up as a discreditable class of citizens. The
american prefers ticket nominated by nine
teen thousand Negroes, who dominated and
controlled the Republican primaries. Ac-
cording to the 4mericaR's estimate lawyers
are little lower down in the scale OF human
ity than Negroes. There are few law yers
on the Republican ticket, however, but this
blot, in the American view Of it, IS more
than offset by the nomination of Hiram Wat .
tv. a sweet-scented African.

There has been much dissatisfaction over the

men. and the women put up an opposition
ticket composed wholly of women, with the
exception Of one man for the Council.
