The American Conscience.

The doubt has occurred 10 more than
one observer of national affairs OF late
whether this country is not becoming in
different to the necessity of business anl
political morality. II is pointed out that
while certain Senators are generally known
10 be corrupt and ought TO be in Jail. there
is no great commotion about it. nor about
the Huntington deal regarding the Mica
ragua Canal. nor (all things consideredJ
about AIgerism in the army. And such a
state of affairs naturally leads TO the in
ference that the people OF the United States
are growing callous.
II this were so there would be reason for
trembling indeed. But it is not true that.
as rule, the American people are careless
and indifferent about these things. They
simply do not quite know what is TO be
done about them. There are many millions
OF men in this country who are quite con-
WINGED that there is corruption in politics.
but they do not repudiate the corrupt man
unless they see the chance Of an improve

said or implied in hundreds Of country
towns that politicians are all dishonest
anyway, and the only choice is between
black and dark gray, and you cannot al
ways tell one from the other in bad light.
This view is not entirely correct but it is
prevalent. The hereditary caution of the
American leads him to refrain from vio-
lent methods.
When the people are convinced that some
one man is honest. and fearless. and free
from corruption. he is carried into o!licc
on a great wave Of public sentiment. The
country cannot do too much for him.
Owing TO the strength of political and COM
mercial combinations. an honest man can
not always convince others that he is sin
cere; and that is where the machine poll
tician and the hypocrite have their hold.

THE czAR,s PEACE CONFERENCE
Mr.. Mckinley May Appoint N COM
missioner for This Couutry.


1t is stated in official circles that Presi
dent Mckinley is considering the appoint
ment of a Commissioner OF the United
States to participate in the proposed peace
conference called by the Car OF Russia to
be held at The Hague, beginning May iS.
It is not known that the President has
given the matter any particular consider
alton as yet. at least not enough to have
decided upon whom he shall appoint. There
are number OF gentlemen being men
toned in this connection. some OF whom
are being urged for the honor.
The name of William Z. Day, former
Secretary of State and President OF the
Paris Peace Commission, is frequently
mentioned, but as Judge Day has recently
Been appointed TO place upon the Federal
bench it is not at al. probable that the
President will select him. because his du-
ties in court would prevent his acceptance.
Whitelaw Reid. who was a member OF the
Paris Commission, Is also being mentioned.
Representative Robert r. Hit Of Illinois
is also included in the list OF possible aI-
pointees.
Others whose names are being mentioned
are Archbishop ireland OF St Paul. Bishop
Dudley OF Kentucky OF the Episcopal
Church. Charles ]. Bonaparte Of Baltimors.
former Vice President Levi p Morton
former Senator George +. Edmunds Of Yer
mont, former Senator George Gray Of Del
aware. and former Minister TO England
Edward ]. Phelps of Vermont
1t is understood here that Sir Julian
PauncelOte. the British Ambassador, will ,.
selected to represent England at the con
ference. Sir Julian has received no official
notice of his appointment but il seems
well understood in official circles that he
will be selected to represent Great Britain
upon this occasion.

This may be necessary in the spring and
summer, for out-o door work cannot lie

name of common sense, should people
drag themselves out of bed to dress by
candle light in the cold winter mornings
Why should they not wait till the sun has
fairly risen. and eat their breakfast at a
reasonable hour? Why is it not just as
well to rise at six or seven. and sit up

There are various other methods of
pennywise and pound foolish economy
which are TO be found in common use, and
the sooner people learn TO reason on these
matters, The better it will be. Every right
minded person delights in the orderly and
comfortable arrangement of the affairs of
daily life. and in order 10 secure this, on
a limited income, some economies are
necessary; but it is foolish to add the
economies of past generation. useful in
their time. but unnecessary now, TO the
wise and necessary moncy-saving plans of
the present DAY. In the complicated ard
hurried life of today it sometimes saves
time to take short vacation.

THE BEEF BOARD AT WORK.
The Members Inspect Some of Chi
cago's Packing Houses.

Chicago, March 10.-Most of the work
of the War Department Board of Enquiry
today was in the plat OF Libbey. Mcneil
& Libbey, where the Board watched the
entire process of canning, which was ex-
planned by C. H. Emory, foreman Of the
department. The real results of the en-
quiry will not be known until DR.. Bigelow,
the Government chemist attached TO the
Board brings in his report on his anaiy-
sis of the beef after the first boiling, pre-
paratory to canning it, and Of the water
in which It was boiled. \ sample of each
was taken by DIR. Bgelow and placed in
sterilized bottles. From these samples h.
will determine the nutritive qualities OF
the canned beef. These analyses will be
offered as evidence in the investigation.
The firm obtains its beef from Swift S CO.
II was 80 p. IN. when the party left the
canning room and responded 10 an invita-
tion of George +. Swift to inspect his
wholesale department. Mr.. Swift person
ally explained the system followed N sell
ing the product.
From Swifts the Board proceeded to Mel
son Morris & Co.'S plant, where the
canning department was inspected. Ii was
not in operation, however, and the inquis-
perintendent Edward NJ. Hoffman concern
ing the process of canning roast beef. In
answer to questions Mr.. Hoffman said the
beef lost about 80 per cent of its weight by
being boiled in the tanks and about per
cent more in being trimmed preparatory to
canning The French Government he said
required that the weight be reduced 40 per
cent before canning. When the meat is
put in cans it is roasted in retorts filled
with steam without further loss OF weigh;
and is the finished product called roast beet
by the packers. Germany buys more OF
this product than any other foreign coun-
try, according to Mr.. Hoffman, while
France comes next. England is far in the
! lead in buying the refrigerated. Lieutenant
Colonel Davis said:
We will begin taking testimony tomor-
row at 10 o'clock. and we will hold ses-
sions from 10 to Il o'clock in the morning
and from TO ) o'clock in the afternoon
until the work is finished. We will hear
the testimony of the commissary officers
first. Lieut.. Col. o. NJ Smith. who bought
the beef. Major Fred 4. Smith, who dis
tributed ii. and Lieutenant Colonel Sharpe
who was chief commissary at Tampa ani
Havana, Will be heard first. George F

many heads of departments in the packing
houses as possible.
Major Lee, who is representing General
Miles will probably offer number of wit
noses to the board. 1t is said that he has
received offers of testimony from many
officers and privates who served during the
late war and the testimony will undoubt-

False Economy.

4 great deal has been said about the
loss OF money and time caused by the late
extraordinary snowfall. but a Richmond
man thinks that there is something 10 be
said on the other side He declares that
:t is not always a misfortune when busi-
ness IS suspended, and that the people who
are forever calculating how much lime,
and money. and food are wasted in various
ways are not the most useful citizens in
the world by any means. His disposition
seems TO have been slightly soured by the
prosecutions Of friend, who, as he says,
Is daft on statistics"
OF course, this argument does not really
affect the statement that much money and
valuable time and energy were lost through
the blizzard, but it does suggest an in
ieresting train OF thought The world has
missed many good things by lack of
economy, but, after all, it may be that

These arc troublous times, and the country

prominent officer Of its army has been released
from care, and has gone to enjoy the reward
of his czcrtions. Miles is still in Washington,
fighting enemies abroad and at home; SIafter is
on department duty; Otis il fighting rebels in
the Philippines Brooke and Wood and others
working hard in Cuba; but Eagan is speeding
across the continent, on his way to Hawaii, with

spend it as he pleases. Hawaii is a land Of sun

From the Kansas city starr
There can be no doubt that the con olidation
Of industries puts great and dangerous power
in the hands of employers to fix wages and con-
troll the conditions OF laborers, and this power
would result in a constant cutting down of the
compensation Of labor il it were not for the i'm
portant circumstance that low wages result in
poor service. The object of the wise manu-
facturer is to get the greatest producivcncss from
his men at the least possible cost. and it has
been demonstrated repeatedly that 4 thousand
efficient at 50 day may produce more than
the same number Of poor workmcn at 50 a day
The large employer Of labor is more interested
in making his men efficient than in keeping their
wages down TO the lowest possible level. He
knows that a body Of men who are skilliul, in.
telgcnt, contcnted, and interested in their work
is worth more to him than a lot Of poorly paid
men, always on the verge of 4 strike and making
no progress in efficiency and produciycncss. For
that reason the judicous and broad gagged en-
ployer will always he ready to share his pros

diameter was placed in the aperture. and
through it the men were furnished with
food. clothing, and later an electric light
and the daily papers. 1t will take at leas!
three days to get the men out of the shaft.
and the rescue must be accomplished by
tunneling near the rock, sinking second
shaft and then again tunnelins to the.
point where the men are imprisoned. The

| smaller way, of course. as beautiful an
ornament to the city the Congressional
| Library and there seems no reason why.
this should not be SO. Mr.. Bernard r.
Green who has been chosen to superintend
the construction of the building. is a COM
petent engineer and builder and will carry
| out the architects plans as faithfully as
in the case OF the Congressional Library
| he did Mr.. Smithmeyer's.
The plan and decorations of the Carnegie
| Library will, of course, be somewhat diff
ferent from those of the Library of Con-
gress. and there is one suggestion which
might be made as to the ornamentation.
Washington has had an interesting history
of its own which is not familiar TO the
public. There are many old houses here
which have historic interest and numerous
legends of lovable, eccentric or famous
personages who have at one time or an
other figured in Washington society. Why
should not the Carnegie Library be partly
self? Records of ante -bellum days might
be collected in this new city library, and
pictures of the men who have helped. at one
| time or another to add to the history of
the Capital might be hung upon its walls.
There are very few residents of Washing
ton who really know much of its past ow-
| ing TO the fact that so large 4 proportion
of our population is only here for term of
years. Department employees come from all
| the different States of the Union, and some
times spend the rest of their lives in Wash
| ington, but their children are apt TO drift
out into the world.
Congressman rarely regard Washington
| as a home and professional men are less
| often residents of the District than people
/ who come here for some personal reason.
! So it comes about that only very small
class of the population may be called old
| inhabitants at all, and the rest are entire
| ly ignorant of the historic legends of the
place 1t might be interesting not only to
visitors, but to residents, to know how the
| "Octagon House" came by its reputation
of being haunted, 10 hear the story of the
Blaine House." and of the "Braddock
! House in Alexandria, and to be able to
| picture the life of official society in those
remote days when inauguration balls were
held at "Carusis." There are hundreds
OF traditions which would be inexpressibly
| fascinating could they be unearthed and
put into shape and the history of Wash
ington could furnish subjects for frescoes
which would be both picturesque and beau
tiful. While Washington has never had a
life entirely apart from that OF the nation.
there is much semi-official history which
has never been set down in the records OF
national interest.
