The game was a brilliant one and was wit

the crimson OF Harvard predominated, but

sEYMoUR's ERRATIC WORK.
The New York Pitcher Presents n
Game to Cincinnati.

Cincinnati, May 24.-The Reds won the
first series from New York by taking to-
days game aften ten exciting innings of
play. Seymour was in the box for the
New Yorks, and it was his wildness which
lost the game. He gave thirteen bases on
balls. Seymour did great execution, how
ever, with his bat, and secured two doubles
and as many singles. Hawley started in to
twirl for Cincinnati, but the visiting bats
men took so kindly to his curves in the
fourth inning that he was replaced by
Phillips. The score:

The Warner Cure for Criminals.

In a recent magazine article, Charles
Dudley Warner describes at length sys-
TEN which he has evolved for the refor-
nation of criminals. He thinks that crime
is a disease and should be treated as such
and from his explanation Of his system one
might suppose that the disease is largely
due to dirt.
Under this system, when the criminal is
caught be is at once treated to a Turkish
bath; not the comparatively superficial
wash which they give the tramp in the
stationhouse in some cities, but a thor
ough, unmitigated, renovating publication.
After this comes course of massage, the
length and nature of which is to be deter

dieting and light gymnastics. BY this sys-

so that his brain and body viii work prop

propensities viii have disappeared.
Sardonic comments have followed the ap-
pearance Of this article. and it has been
greeted with general expression of skep-
ticism. II should be remembered, before
making any very decided remarks on the

All the same. there is a considerable

that cleanliness and godliness are blood
relations, and that is practically what Mr..
Warner is preaching in this article. He
makes al least one statement which is
absolutely true; and that is that it would

1t is monstrous that so illogical, frac-

as that of the Senate minority should be
able to impose such vast possibilities of ex-
pense and woe on a people who are united
and who are honorable, high-minded, and
fully capable of carrying out just policy
toward the ignorant millions who have
been placed in their care.
1t is monstrous that a small number of
Senators, most of them of one political par
~, should arrogate to themselves all the
wisdom virtue and republicanism of the
land and by opposing perfectly honorable,
even glorious, peace after q triumphant
war about which the people were a unit,

The revelation of The Times yesterday
concerning the message Of Aguinaldo's spy

surd but mischievous declaration of a re-

gressiveness of the rebels in the vicinity
of Manila, shows that all that has been
feared as an effect of the intolerable course
of the Senate minority is in fair way of
accomplishment. The ratification OF the
Treaty in a reasonable time after its refer
ence TO the Senate would have prevented
these recent events. 1t is the delay that
has emboldened Aguinaldo and his schem-
ing advisers to determine on an attack on
The Americans, which may be carried out
yet. The ratification of the Treaty will
enable the President to assert the author
iJy OF this Government and bring the re-
sstance 10 an early and perhaps bloodIess
ond. II is in the most vital interest of the
Jiiipinos that this should be done
That a rejection or prolonged post
ponement of the ratification of the Treaty
may mean the recognition of the pretended
republic by Spain and Germany is no
longer regarded as an unreasonable fear
Sane men know what that may mean and
they have good reason to fear it. The pro-
posed amendment would be worse than its
rejection.
No reasonable observer is in doubt about
the sentiment of the American people on
this subject. Their desire for the an
nouncement Of American sovereignty over
the Philippines has grown day by day, and
with it their determination that the an
nouncement must be made.

The Eagan Case.

The members of the military court which
tried the Eagan case are restrained from
intimating what the verdict is until it has
There is every reason, however. TO think
that the accused was found TO be guilty,
and that his sentence is dismissal from
the army. The promptness with which an
agreement was reached is almost positive
evidence that this was the verdict and SEN
tence. OF the facts there was no denial
The penalty was equally sure unless the
court should find mitigating circumstances
In that event, it would probably have re-
quired a much longer discussion to reach a
conclusion. 1t is almost certain that il is
chiefly from this consideration that the
correspondents generally assume a YER
diet of guilty.
Besides, the defence was obviously made
quate. The judge advocate made sum-
ming up that could not be assailed except
on the plea of insanity or irresponsibility,
to establish which the evidence was plain
ly insufficient. There was nothing in the
alleged state of mind of the accused that
was inconsistent with the truth of the
charges of General Miles. who made no
direct personal assault on the Chief of the
Subsistence Bureau, although naturally
that officer must be implicated in any de-
feet in the rations. The court did not
think enough of the excuse that Eagan
was provoked to his language by unjust
accusations TO go into the merits of the
beef scandal. Also, there was no effort
TO discover how far the Secretary of War
was acquainted with the purpose of Eagan
to use the offensive language
1t has been shown that the agents of the
meat companies in Chicago were greatly
disturbed by the suggestion that this court
might consider itself warranted in gather
ing evidence as to the proof on which
General Miles based his statement, and
at one time they evidently feared there

TO understand. however, why the court

The Senatorial Elections.

The Senatorial scandals grow in magni-
tude and in number, and make change to
the popular election of United States Sem
ators more obviously necessary. Of the
use of money at Harrisburg there are no
positive proofs, but the fact that there are
schemes for detaching Democratic mem
bers from the support of their own candi-
date to vote for Quay, and of drawing from
the independent Republicans a certain
number in Quays interest, suggests brib-
cry. 1t is hardly conceivable that there
are half dozen Democrats in the Penn
sylvania Legislature who admire Quay as
a Senator If they vote for him it will
be for money or official influence. The
California scandal is most discouragine.
That men have been bribed as directly
as il their votes were sold in the open
market is beyond all doubt. Yet the COM
mittee investigating the matter refused to
consider any but the cases where bribery
was admitted, and is satisfied with a GEN.

of money in Montana. 1t is not reasonable
to suppose the deadlock could be maintain
ed in Delaware without plentiful distri-
button of funds. There are deadocks in
other States, some of them produced by
the appearance of millionaire candidates.
At this moment the calling of the Senate
a millionaires' club, by reason of the new
Senators and the leading candidates in
pending elections, has more warrant than
ever before.
In popular election millionaires might
get in, but there would be fewer bribery
scandals, and there would be an improve
ment in the tone Of the State Legislatures.
There are rascals whose chief purpose in
going TO the legislature is to sell their
votes to Senatorial candidates There

choice should be decided at popular cleo
tions. We have only to consider how few
