The New York Journal Of February
1. says editOrIally-
Despite the plainly indicated desire
TO have the war investigation commits
sion return a report generating Sec
Rotary Alger and his cOmmissaries from
blame for the hideOus errors, blunders
and wrOng-dOiDgs, the truth Is coming
out and the blame viii rest at last
where it belongs.
Already COmmissary General Eagan
has been found guilty, and his punish
ment for his foul mouthings in reply to
Gen Miles charges is imminent.
Next the beef barOns must be tried
for defraudinR the government with
their poisoned wares.
These messages showed that Gen.
Eagan was in constant and confidential
communication with @. j. Brine, the
trusts agent, and that Col. DENLY, of
the war investigation committee, was
equally confidential with this man, and
through him attempted 20 procure
evidence TO attack Major DAILY, whose
analysis proved the charges
More than this. here Is in Brine's
message a frank reference to his
attempting TO use money In obtaining
what he wanted from officers. and the
reference is far from carrying the i'm
preston that be despaired of the money
being accepted.
The beef barOns are worried by what
has come out, and are fiercely denying
that they poisoned the soldiers for gain.
Gen. Miles tacitly offers to prove IL.
1t now appears, and one telegram
bears out the idea. that part of the beef
furnished our soldiers was old stuff
that had been sent abroad and rejected
by France.
The truth is half out now; the full
villany viii be known before the his
tory of the Spanish-American war is

GOOD INTENTIONS.

What wonderful things we have planned Love
What beautiful things we have done.
What fields we have titled, what gifts We hav
wiIled,
In the light Of another years som
When We think Of it all We are bafHed.
There's so much that never comes true;
Because, Love, instead of our doing,
We're always Just meaning to do.
The friends we are wanting TO help Love-
They struggle alone and fOrlOrn,
By trial and suffering vanquished-
Perchance b. temptation o'erbOrne5
But the lift, and the touch. and the greeting
That vel might have aided them through
The perilOus strait Of ill-fortune,
They MISS we're but meaning to do.
We dream Of fountain Of knowledge,
We loiter along on its brink,
And toy with the crystalline waters,
Forever Just meaning to drink.
Night falls and our tasks are unfinished,
Too late our lost chances we rue,
Dear Love, while our comrades were doing,
We only were meaning to do.
