WIN u facts that led TO tho mp
~polntmont OF the committee o
making tho investigation regarding
the character and quality OF the
meat furnished tho soldiers during
the war with Spain. They will re-
call that when Gen. Miles spoke Of
the beef furnished by Commissary
General Eigen as "embalmcd 5eei''
AID said it WAS unfit 10 eat, E4gan
appeared before the War Inyesti
gazing Commission and called
Miles u liar in for y seycn different,
languages. For this umoficerl like
and ~unbecoming language Eagsn
was Court Martioled and sentenced
to dismissal from the Army. Presi.
dent Mckinley, however, stepped

Will have reached the age limited

which showed Eugan up on one
side, as a hireling of the meat
trusts, as a defamer of the Com
mSndiug General of the Army and
which also showed the President
of the Nation to be behind the
whole dirty job.
There Is another chapter de.
veloped later. 1t has been proven
an hundred times before the
the meat investigating committee,
that The meat furnished our
soldiers, was, in some instances
rotten; that in other instances il
was treated with chemicals which
the beef robbers called Preserya-
tine. Now Oommissary General
Black testifies hat when he told
Eagan that the Army in Porto
Rico used the native meat because
they could not eat what he bought
of the meat trusts, Eagan few in a
rage, swore violent and vicious
oaths and said damn them they
ought TO have been made TO eat it.
Here you have it. Eagan fur
ious because the men, poor souls
who were marching and fighting
nuder a tropic sun, would not
eat the rotten and poisoned meat
he had sent, cursing them violently
for refusing it. Hob.nebbing and
plotting with the Armours and
Swifts, for which he evidently re-
ceivsd money. Then behind is
Alger, and behind Alger Is Presi-
dent Mckinley, who uses his su.
preme authority not only to retain
in Office these defenders and patrons
OF the meat combines, but these
corrupt officials who have poisoned
the brave soldiers on the field Of
battle and cursed like fends those
who refused to eat their poison.
Many better men than Engan have
been hung and many men have
paid the death penalty for a less
ofense than he is guilty of. but
the trust he has so faithfully
serve0, the same trusts that placed
Mark Hanna's candidate in the
White House, will protect him
from his just deserts.
Yet there be men in the country
with cheek enough to still hurrah
for Mckinley and acknowledge
they boloBg to the Republican
psrty. Is the trouble with
the heads or the hearts Of
thesa latter individuals Tell US,
pray.

A New liMterpriSe.

Hamilton. Dec. 5.--A new democratic
paper is about to make its appearance
in Hamilton, Mr.. Sherman, whose name
has appeared in these letters several
times as contemplating such move,
having finally decided upon launching
the new craft. He yesterday purchased
the type and presses formerly belong
ing to the Times, and last night made
out an order for the new material which
will be added, including body type. to
fit up the plant to what he intends 1T
shall be- and announces that the new
exponent of pure and undefiled democ-
racy will make it's initial bow to wait
ing public in about two weeks He Will
call it the Ravalli Democrat. The re-
cent newspaper deals in this town show
a complete turning over in the situa-
ton. Two weeks ago there were two
republican papers and one democratic
paper. the Western News. In that time
the Times was bought by the Ravalli
Republican and consolidated with that
paper, taking one republican paper out
of the field Now there will be, when
Mr.. Sherman gets going two demo-
cratic sheets and one republican. What
effect it will have on the election next
year is only conjectural.

as such feel that every one interested
in matter of such public moment
should do all possible to aid In reach

am1cable manner raise the money, the
matter has not rested at that and
there are several points involved which
Will be carried through the courts as
rapidly as possible.
The points upon which the courts viii
be called to pass will appear later when
the proposed suit is filed. The state
mentS in this article are made at the
present time at the request of the trus-
tees. in order that the people who have
children going to school may know how
the matter stands, and for the further
reason that in the opinion of the trus-
tees the matter does not now look as
though the schools can be carried on
further than the last of January, ow-
ing to the obstacles the board have met
with in every solution they have pro-
posed.
This, Thursday, evening the board
meets in extra session and steps will
be taken clearing the way to legal pro-
ceedings which are contemplated.
