E4GAN.

l The United States isn't France, and the army" etc., etc. Moreover, France
 hasn't produced anything like Commits
 sary-General Eagan. Inspector-Gener- 1 al Breckinridge, who is going to the l West Indies on an inspection trip which
 will last many months, has something 1 to say which is worth attention. It is as reasonable an explanation of some things as has been made. I will tell you, he says, what is the trouble-what
 we need in the War department is a set
 of gentlemen. Tn every war this coun- try has had we have found that the War department was not unit with the army, but a sort of segregated fac tor working out it's independent power.
 cabinet officer, the War department has
 become filled, at least partly so, with a
 coterie of men who cling to each other,
 held together by the bond of mutual in-
 terest, and thus forced into position
 which becomes one of open hostility to the rank and file of the army. That is
 the trouble now. Take these men at the War department, such men as Ea- gan. If he were the gentleman he ought to be such disgraceful situation as the one with which we are confront ed could never have arisen. I believe this Eagan affair is one of profound se- riousness. It injures the army in the eyes of the American people, and it in jures the American people in the eyes of the world.
 Immunity was guaranteed to all wit nesses before the Investigating commit tee, but does Eagan's reckless and vul- gar outbreak come within the legal pale of immunity? If Eagan had calmly and mellitluously called General Miles a liar he could have been protected with some show of reason. But if he isn't called to account for his abusive and scandalous words there will be more talk than there has been about "the honor of the army

up the cry of 'equal rights and opened war with the white gambling houses Of that city. The police have been making it warm for John, and he de- clares that there has been no end of in- vidious distinction in favor of his Amer ican fellow craftsman. Since the au- thorities have stopped his gambling, have collected a barrel of "opium out fits" and left the once merry "hells" like "a banquet hall forsaken," the downtrodden Celestials have begun a crusade against native industries, and swear to have raided every white ganlb- ling houses in the city. They claim that the talk of a Highbinders' association in Seattle is but one of the many hase canards originated by jealous Ameri- can professional rivals, and they threaten to have prosecuted every pro prietor of Ia little game" whose address they can by any means procure.

Il TEA TEL1YG MEErING-Ho USE.

| If people can't or won't go to the meeting house the meeting house must go to them. A curious and interesting
 portable meeting house has begun it's
 missionary rounds on Conanicut Island
 in Narragansett Bay. It is supposed to
 be the first of it's kind, but it's creator,
 the Rev. Charles F. Preston, hopes that 1t will be the precursor of number of
 similar chapels for use in small commit mites too poor to provide more pre-
 tentious church building. It is describ
 ed as being very "churchy" throughout,
 mounted on wheels. It had to be made as small as possible, of course, in order as possible, in order that it might be easily drawn. But it has been properly proportioned, and all the details and fittings are in keeping with its size and purpose. It is just eighteen feet wide outside, and twenty seven feet long, with a tiny bay window two feet deep to give more room for the altar. From the floor to the ridge pole is eighteen feet, though the cross and the belfry which it surmounts adds seven feet more. But the cross and bell can be re- moved when the chapel is on the road, and in this way it can ride under tele- graph wires with room to spare. There are seats for hundred people, though the pews are placed further apart than they are in some stationary churches. To the left of the chancel is built in the organ, small instrument with an un- usually good tone, which was practical ly given by the makers Most of the other furnishings were also contribut- ed by the manufacturers, and because of their generosity the chapel, although representing an outlay of S3,000 cost it's projector only about third of that amount,

ALTRuIsTIC SON OF HEAVEN.

The Emperor recently escaped from his prison in the island at the Southern Lakes, Eho Park, where he had been confined by the Empress -Dowager since the coup d'etat But when his majesty got to the park gates the imperial guard all creatures of the Empress Dowager shut the great gates in his majesty's face. A crowd of eunuchs, who dared not offer the imperial per- son any violence or attempt to use force in preventing his majesty walking to tn park gates, however, followed him in a body, and upon the gates being closed they all knelt in front of the Emperor, bessecning his majesty with tears to have mercy on them and not attempt to escape, for it would mean the death of all of them, as well as of the guards men at the gates, were he to do so. The guardsmen also knowtowed and joined in the general prayer, while on the oth- CT hand they sent one of their number to apprise the Empress -Dowager at Pekn of the matter. TThe Emperor finally took pity on his suppliant sub- jects and quietly returned to his prison.

REAL GOVERNORS.

Our own Governor Lounsbury in his
 inaugural message gave gentle hint
 to the legislators, as follows: But the
 constitution recognizes the fact that
 there is no body of men whose sober
 second thought" may not be wiser than it's first and so it gives to the execu- tive the power to ask a general assem- bly, to reconsider it's action. The con- stitution gives no power which does not sometimes become a duty. One may
 have due appreciation of, and profound respect for, those in whose hands su-
 preme power in final action has been placed and still hold the opinion that
 an executive has no more right to sign
 a measure which he does not approve | than any member of general assem-
 bly has to vote for bill which he
 thinks to be wrong or unwise.
 1 This was and is supposed to mean
 business. Governor Roosevelt of New l York TOW comes forward with some declarations about legislation which are even more pointed and definite than those of Governor Lounsbury. After a
 conference with the president of the senate, the speaker of the assembly and party leaders, Governor Roosevelt
 said it was his desire that all special
 local and private bills should be intro-
 duced within the next six weeks, or eight weeks at the latest, also all bills affecting Greater New York. If bills
 were not introduced before the limit of time fixed the probability would be that
 the bills introduced later would die on his hands. This was not an ironclad rule, but pretty close to it. If a mem- Der could demonstrate to him there was of the bill and if it related to some sub ject that had not been in position to be treated earlier then he might be in duced to change his mind. But it would
 take a pretty strong argument on the part of the member. He also called at tention to the fact that lot of bills were introduced in which the new mat ter was not italicized; sometimes this was unintentional but it sometimes happened, he regretted to observe that the omission was not unintentional, but done with the idea of deceving and misleading people. The governor want ed it understood that bills which came to him without .he new portions itali- l cized would be vetoed without regard l to merit or matter.
 There is no doubt that Governor \ and Governor Roosevelt can | be very useful to their States in legis- | lative matters and it is encouraging to | see them saying that they mean to be. 1

Collars and cuffs, too, will be embroidered. The sleeves will be much smaller than last year, and the masculine necktie will be tabooed since the tie must be made of the waist material and trimmed at the ends to match. Everything about the 1899 shirt waist is to be feminine.

Once every year or two, says the Philadelphia Press, the attention of inc country is called to the condition of the Lincoln monument at Springfield Illi- nois. It is being done now, with the added information that the structure is in such a dilapidated state that it is inn possible to repair it, and that the only tlltng to be done is to pull it down en- tirely and rebuild it from foundation to top stone. It is almost thirty-four years since the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, and it is a little over twenty four years since the dedication of the monument which marks his resting place in Springfield. This ought to have been time enough to rear over his coffin a memorial which would have en- dured for ages. But this has not been done The plans for the monument now standing, or rather falling to pieces, were inadequate, even if they had been honestly carried out

The Michigan beet sugar bounty law of 1897 provided that a cent pound should be paid on sugar made from beets raised in Michigan, and under this inducement big factory was estab- lished at Bay City. The factory met with remarkable success during it's first year, drawing beets from all over the State, and the first instalment of sugar turned out cost the State $13,0O0 in boun- ties. Encouraged by the success of the factory at Bay City, several other cor porations have organized to establish plants and if the industry continues to grow, the State will soon be paving hundreds of thousands of dollars in bounties. A period of seven years is set by the law during which bounties shall be paid, and the lawyers are dis cussing whether or not the State would not be obliged to pay the bounty to factories established under the law, even if the legislature should repeal the act of 1S97

Of the 1879 locomotive engines built sn this country last year, 554 were sent abroad. The gradual increase of loco- r1otive building since 1894, when only 697 were turned out of the various growth of business almost up to the record of the boom times which pre- ceded the panic. The increase of loco- motive exports from 3O9 to 554 in two years, indicates that the American model Is winning favor abroad. Some have even been ordered for the Midland Railway of England, where hitherto the American locomotive has generally been derided.

 The attorney general of Illinois has in structed the States attorneys in the va rious counties, to prosecute every cor poration which has failed to file an af- fidavit that it is not party to any trust or combination in restraint of trade. The law requires that each cor poration which has not compiled with the law shall be fined $50 for every day of negligence. This would mean the collection of an immense sum of money. He is the same attorney general whose act when he began to fight the Pullman company was regarded as the acme of folly. But he has won in that.
