But He VIII Collect Pay Regularly,
and Be Retired In 1905.
Washington, Feb. S-The president
yesterday caused to be promulgated
the sentence in the case of General
Charles P. Eagan. The court martial
sentence was dismissal from the army.
and the president has commuted this
to six years suspension from duty. In
committing the sentence the president
extols General Eagan's gallant con-
duct in battle and his long and hon
orable record of service" and declares
there were mitigating circumstances
developed during the trial of the case.
II was stated by the adjutant general
that General Eagan's suspension car
ries him to within a few days of his
retirement under the age limit. He will
be reinstated in time to retire with the
regular rank and pay provided in such
cases.
The sentence of suspension, accord
ing to the legal officers of the depart
ment. does not deprive General Eagan
of any part of his pay, but as the sem
tence reads without rank and duty"
he loses his allowances. which include
Communication of quarters, rations and
fuel and his horse allowance. This is
quite large financial item.
Although General Eagan has been
suspended without rank or duty he
still remains commssary general of

can be displaced until he is retired.

The pemocratio Position.

In an interview in the N. Y. World
Senator Jones, of Arkansas. Chairman of the
National Democrat Committee, defines the
position Of the Democrats in the Senate to-
wards the treaty with Spain.
He declares that they are ready to vote
to radify the treaty at once, "if it can be
amended to say what it means-or what
its advocates claim it means" They ask
that the third article be made to conform
to the first, embOdying declaration of
purpose as TO the Philippines equivalent TO
that made use of towards Cuba
If this were done Senator Jones says he
has no doubt that the treaty would be rati-
flied unanimously. The refusal Of the Ad-
ministration Senators to accept this would
as he suggests, seem TO acquire the Phil
ippines permanently.
Senator Jones raises the pertinent ques-
ton why so large part of the volunteer
army is still kept in the field. he declares
with perfect truth that if the treaty is never
ratified, and if no other is ever made,
" there will never be another gun fred be-
tween the United States and Spain" The
ratifaction is mere formality. Everybody
knows that Spain has nothing to fight about
The only effect of maintaining a large army
for Cuba and the Philippines will be to keep
alive the apprehension of their people, that
our intentions are hostile to their liberties.
The World adds that after these assuraR-
ces from the opponents of imperialism, the
Administration and its supporters must
assume the responsibility for the delay or
defeat of the treaty. They could have had
ratification at once by making the treaty
conform to the noble and unselish purpose
with which this country entered upon the
war, as embodied in the declaration of
Congress.
The attitude OF the Democrats is most
plainly, that of clear patriotism, dicated by
high regarded for the peace and welfare
of the nation. Their party interest would
be subserved by allowing the Republicans
to commit the country TO policy which is
sure to be sbhorrent to the people, and
which would result in their certain expul-
sion form power.
The real Republican statesmen in and
out of Congress-the men like Hoar,
Edmuuds, Boutwell,, Sherman and Sburz,
men uEbribed by the Administrations
expanded patronage and unblinded by
selfinterest or that of any boss-have each
independently, solemnly and strongly testi-
fed that the Democrats are on the solid
ground of true Americanship in opposing
the plan of holding subjugated peoples in
remote parts of the earth for the costly
glory of army and navy officers or the
enrichment of the favored ring who furnish
supplies to the armies and ships.

Washington correspondent.

The Constitution rushes to rescne Sena
tor Stanger from the charge of having
introduced a bill into the legislature
which enables manufacturers to escape
payment of wages every two weeks in
cash, on the plea of previous contract and
volunteers the statement that "SeDator
Stanger is one of the bsst friends the glass
workers ever had" If this statement be
true, why didn't Mr. Stanger attend to this
legislative need of the glassblowers earlier
in his legislative career? The reason is
not because his aid was not needed because
they have needed just such assistance as it
has been in his power to give ever since he
became legislator. Mr.. Watkins is also
making frantic efforts to become work
ing mans friend and has introduced bill
the object of which is alleged to be to COM
pei payment of wages in cash.
If either of these bills become laws, the
workingmen will discover just how much
they will be benefited, but the milk in
this cocOanut IS not beneht to laboreTs 10
glass factories; not at all It's more i'm
portant to Barber than thst-because il
Stanger isn't recognized as genuine friend
OF labor, there is danger that Watkins will
be, and then Barber will not figure promi-
nently on the cash rolls of the next Sen
ate.
This whole talk about aiding the work
ing men is buncomb SO far as stanger and
Watkins are concerned. They have
witnessed the sufferings of labor these
many years, but never raised their voice
to aid them until now, and the reason for
their anxiety will be disclosed next Fall

Americans like fair r lay in fight. Gen
Miles has stood up like man and charged
that contractors supplied our troops with
embalmed beef, and offered to furnish
proof of the charge. Secretary Alger, and
his gang are Sinking around trying to
stab Miles in the dark, being afraid to
order him couIt-martialed, because that
would give him an opportunity TO produce
the proof he has OF his charge. The report
of the War Investigating Commission
now in Mr.. MeKiniey's possession, is
relied upon to give Miles several stabs
Mr.. Mckinley has been asked to remove
Miles from the command of the army, but
he is afraid to do so. because in that case,
Miles would have a right TO demand the
cause, and if a cause were given to demand
that court martial decide whether it be
just one. A sneaky way of ousting Miles
has been evolved By Alger. 1t is Iro-
posed to amend the Hull army bill by
providing for a revival of the grade Of
Lieutenant General, and then nominating
Merritt, or some other Major General to
the position. Merritt would not be much
more satisfactory to Alger as Commander
of the Army than Miles is.as his contempt
for Alger, which dates away back to Alger's
court-martial during the civil war, was
never concealed, and their rel .tions, since
Alger became Secretary of War have been
confined to strictly official matters. Il
looks as though the administration would
be compelled TO give Miles chance to
prove his charge, By ordering some sort OF
a military inquiry. Mr. Mckinley is said
to have promised that much.

Nobody can deny that the Japanese have
rapidly developed capacity for self govern
ment. Yet if some European power had
happened to secure Dominion over them
before their awakening. nothing now could
induce that power to concede such capacity.
Those who say that orieutals cannot govern
themselves ignore the most remarkable
exhibition of capacity to advance in the
science of government this century has pro.
produced. Our forefathers believed that
all peoples possessed the right of self
government and expressed that conviction
