Ostensibly the court of inquiry which
the President has ordered 10 be convened
to investigate the charges made by Gen.
Miles, namely, that the beef furnished
for the army during the war with Spain
was unit for food, is a court to find out
whether or not there is any foundation for
The beef scandal. but. as a matter Of fact,
is it not court to find out whether there
are not good reasons for calling Gen.
Niles to account for originating That scan
dal? The reasons for thinking so is that
the President does not believe that there
is anything in the charges made by Gen.
Mikes Many of the witnesses on whom
Cen Miles relies were before the com
mission that investigated the conduct
of the war. and it is the understanding
that that commission reported that there
was nothing in the charges. Unless Gen.
Miles can produce stronger proof than he
has yet the chances are that the court
of inquiry will decide against him. OF
course it is not known what he has in re-
serve He may have a lot of dynamite,
which viii shock the country when he ex-
p-odes it. But the probabilities are that he
has nothing stronger than that which he
has already made public. In that event he
will lose his case. He would be in most
unfortunate position if the court of in
quiry should report that there was no
substantial foundation for the scandal
There was undoubtedly great deal of
bad meat furnished to the army, but was
the meat bad when it left the possess on
of the contractors? May it not be that il
was spoiled by the climate of Cuba? The
great packing houses are profoundly inter
ested in the inquiry, and they have unlim-
tied means at their disposal. They viii
leave nothing undone to uphold their side
Of the case Gen Miles win find that he
has undertaken a big job before he gets
very far along with it. Unless the war de
sources of the government he will find
himself heavily handicapped in his effort
to make out his case.
viii the war department give him the
cordial assistance which he should have?
That is a question which no one is in
feeling between the Secretary of War and
Gen Miles is far from cordial. In fact, the
hint has been thrown out by those hostile
to the general that the bitter feeling he
has for the head of the war department
and the clique of officers in that depart
ment is the chief reason why he has been
so persistent in pressing the charges res
pecting the character of the beef-that the
beef scandal is really the result Of the
ill-feeling between the general of the army
and the Secretary of War. If this view of
the situation is the correct one. it is very
regrettable because it creates the impress
sion that the army is in a demoraAzed
condition. 1t looks as if the President,
however would come out of the affair with
flying colors. whatever the finding of the
court may be, because he has responded
TO the popular demand for an investigation
of the charges made by Gen Miles.

Gen. Eagan seems to have prohted by

contemplated asking for years leave of
absence in the spring. so that he could so
to Hawaii and look after coffee planta-
ton that he has purchased there but now
through the kindness of the President,
he has been granted six years leave of
absence with full pay" An army officer
thus expressed it to the Washington cor
respondent of the New York Times:
"Eagan has been retired in disgrace on
full pay six years before he would have
retired with honor on three-fourths pay"
During his six years of retirement Gen.
Eagan will draw 1888 900 without doing a
stroke of work for the government and
after that time he win receive pay at the
rate of $il25 year.

HEALTH PRECAUTIONS.

1t is probable that the health authorities
of the Southern states will get what
is known as the Atlanta agreement in a
satisfactory shape after while. The reso-
luton which was adopted at New Orleans
on Thursday by representatives Of the
health authorities of the Gulf states Is cal
culated TO make that agreement more eff
fectlve and therefore more acceptable. 1t
provides that no place shall be quaran-
tined in which cases, only suspected of
being of yellow fever, appear, provided
the local health. authorities take proper
precautions-such precautions as are pre-
scribed by the best sanitarians-sgains
the spread of the disease. The precautions
must be taken under the supervision of
the state health authorities or the Marine
Hospital Service.
The trouble with the Atlanta agreement
is that there Is no way of enforcing it,
Some of the local health authorities will
respect and follow the instructions ii con-
tains but the majority will not, in all
probability. In fact. there are health au-
thorties who have never heard of the At
lanta agreement and if the yellow fever
should make it's appearance next summer
il would be just about as difficult for
the railroads to continue their business in
the afflicted districts as if there were no
such an agreement as that adopted at
Atlanta.
sum the agreement is a good thing be-
cause the tendency of it will be to edu-
cate the people against senseless panics.
We shall never have a satisfactory inland
quarantine until the authority to establish
and enforce quarantine regulations is Civ
en- to the national government. AS long
as every cross roads health board and ev-
cry justice of the peace has the power
TO prevent railway trains from passing
through the territory under their jurisdic-
ton, traffic will be interrupted every time
a few cases of fever. suspected of being
yellow fever, appear in any part of the
country. There was no fever to speak of
last year, and yet about all the places in
which the fever appeared or in which
there were suspicious cases of fever were
isolated by quarantine regulations. 1t will
take something more than the Atlanta
agreement to cure the evils for which that
agreement is offered as a remedy

OUR OvERLoADED CIVIL SERVICE.

senator Allen of Nebraska knew. of
course, that he was making a wildly ex-
aggerated statement, when he said in tho
senate on Thursday that there were 80 -
wv persons in the employment of the
departments in Washington, but he was
right in SO far as he created the in,nros
sion mat there are hundreds of emp1oves
IN the elyil service of the government ner-
maps thousands, for whose services there
IS no need whatever. Senator Allen SAYS
that thousands of the government clerks
DON'T work an hour day. It is certain
mat a great many of them do little or
nothing for the money they receive.
VINO is to blame for this condition of af-
fairs? Is not the Republican CONGRESS-
responsible for il? The outlook is that
there will be large deficiency az the
close Of the present fiscal year. notwtth-
standing the immense revenue from the
war taxes in addition to the revenue from
the regular sources. and yet millions of
dollars are annually actually thrown awav
In salaries to employees whose services are
not needed, and. In fact who render no
'r' NANe u real Ndiue. Is IL not time that
the people We're calling 10 account the
party responsible fer This waste of their
money!
Why is it that no member of the domi-
nant party demands that the namber of
the government clerks shall tie reduced
and the burden on the treasury thus light
ened? Is it not because every one of them
has friends, relatives or dependents sad
died upon the government? And 1t NAV
be, also, that the reason that no Demo-
crat undertakes to lead in this greatly
needed reform is that there is not one
of them who is not in some way a bene-
fciary of the system of crowding the de-
partments with clerks who are actually
in each others way.
The people are asking when the war
taxes will be taken off. They will not be
taken off for many years unless Congress
has the courage to practice economy in
| public expenditures. Millions of dollars
could be saved annually if the number of
employees in the civil service were reduced
to that actually needed for carrying on
the government business, and the pension
list were purged of names of pensioners
not entitled 10 pensions
