The Brewers

An Associated Press dispatch
from Detroit says: "The annual
convention oi the United States
Brewers Association, in session
here, listened to a report from one
OF its committees which declared
that the army canteen had accom-
plished more for the morals and
discipline Of the army than all
other agencies combined.
"The Vigilance Committee re-
ported that prohibition was declin'
ing very rapidly and that the
arguments in its favor have as
sumed a degree OF puerility which
almost precludes their discussi on
by men OF average intelligence
"The Board of Trustees reported
that trade had been demoTalized
by the fact that some brewers
added the entire war revenue tax
OF a dollar a barrel to the price OF
their beer, while others added only
a fraction Of the tax"
From the same source we learn
that the Association elected the
following officers: President,
Rudolph Brand, OF Chicago; First
Vice President, N. w, Kendall, oi
New Haven, Conn; Second Vice
President, Joseph T. Theurer, oI
Chicago; Treasurer, William Hoff

next meeting of the Association
will be held in New Orleans in
April or May, the date to be fixed
by the board Of trustees.

"PulT" Secured Contracts

The suit for $4,000 begun by
James Lutkins, the broker, at No.
81 Broadway, New York, against
c. Kenyon & Co., the Brookly n
clothing manufacturers, will, in
the opinion OF every one familiar
with the clothing contracts given
out by the Government, be OF
special interest to more than one
high official. Lutkins sues Tor

Washington, which Lutkils says
was responsible for Kenyon get
ting the big awards.
That some mysterious inhnene ee
has been at work in WashingtO n
New York manufacturers say they
do not doubt.
An example Of the methods OF
army officers came to the notice
OF the New York manufacturers
few weeks ago when bids were put
in for 10000 khaki suits for SOL
diers. The Giveen Manufacturing
Company wrote to Secretary Alger
and to Quartsrmaster-Gene
Luddington offering to take the
contract for Ss.so per suit. Ken
yon & Company already had a
similar contract for which they got
| Sa.6o per suit. All, or nearly all,
Of the goods used in the clothing
was furnished bV the Giveen Com
pany.
In reply to the Giveen Com
panY's letters General Luddin Eton
said that it was not the price Of the
clothing which figured in the
awards so much as it was the quail
ity Ofthe goods. A duplicate con-
tract for $4,000 suits was let, and
in spite OF the Giveen Company S
bid the contract again went to
Kenyon & Co.
1t was the opinion Of many man
utacturers that one of the greatest
scandals oil the war will result from
Lutkins's $4,000 suit for "inAu-
ence."

American people will begin to look
about and give serious thought TO the
grave questions of today.
hmay be several months, Il may be
several years, before the American
people awaken to a realization oi the
burdens which have been loaded upon
them. But the time will come as certain
as fate when the men who are now Deing
idolized as the creators OF prosperity
will be caught IN the iull sweep Of an
angry public wrath.
All that Mr.. German says will
have double weight-the intrinsic
weight of calm, cool reasoning

careful mind has assured him that

AS TO the real issues, he thinks

Mr.. German thinks that the war

Another Failure.

Approaching the fact that the
work Of the Philippine Commis-

with the insurgents was becoming
farcical and that the differences

instructions to Manila for the

return home.
1t is understood that the Presi-

Campaigning in the Philippines

Campaigning in the Philippines
On Feb. s the Filipinos began
the war by attacking our lines at
Manila.
There were three days of hard
fighting, and then on FEB. 8 the
War Department gave out at
Washington the following bulletin;
Gen. Otis cables: Situation rapidly
improving. Army disinJegrated and
natives returning to villages
There were two months OF hard
fighting, interspersed with oc-
casional announcements that the
war was about over.
Then on May 7 Secretary Alger
said that he was looking for the
surrender Of the Filipinos daily"
And on May 8 the War Depart
ment put this upon its bulletin
board:
Gen, Otis cables= "Signs ofiEsurgent
weakness more apparent daily
At intervals during the next
fifteen days similar bulletins-"as-
pect Of affairs favorable" "insur-
gents daily disintegrating," &c.,
Sc.-wers posted.
Then on May a6 through the
censorship at Manila came this
despatch by Associated Press:
Manila, Nav 75.-The events OF the
week have emphasized the need OF a
larger army here, without which, accord
ing TO the best authorities at Manila, II
would be attempting the impossible to
expect to establish American supremacy
in the Philippine Islands.
Two days later the official CEN
sor at Manila let the Associated
Press correspondent send another
beam OF light into the Philippines
situation:
Manila, MAY zS,--The rebellion seems
to be taking a new lease Of life as the
rainy season approaches. The forces

The Rebate Question.
We have received the following
letter from a Western brewer:

letter from a Western brewer
Mr., LOUIS ScHADE, ESQ, Washington,
Dear Sir-On the 24th day Of July
| 1893. at 9 o'clock A. NJ, we bought about
| $40. .ooo worth ofstamps--all the Deputy
Collector had on nand-and paid the
| cash for them and were allowed the N
per cent. rebate as discount. About
2 months later we received a demand
| from the collector to paw the amount oil
| the IL per cent, under the claim that
| all stamps bought on the 24th we're not
entitled to the rebate. We refused to
| pay until the Deputy Collector said be
would have to take possession Of the
brewery. We then paid under protest
which he acknowledged in writing
WhSn the decision was made that the
law did not come into effect until after

pressed out OF us under duTess. Now
at last we received an answer from the
Commissioner, Mr. Wilson, that our
claim was rejected because the stamps
were not used previous to the 24th.
Most brewers had bought stamps day
or more before the 24th and they GER

this not discrimination against usS and

This question was left to the
Manager or Secretary of the
United States Brewers Assoeia-
alton to look after, but whether
anything has been done we cannot
say.
Our connection with the matter
was promptly to notify by tele-
graph our advertisers, and through
them the trade at large, on the
srst OF July, 1898, to purchase as
many Of the stamps as possible
and save the rebate, as it might be
too late the next day, on account
Of the passage of the bill. Many
brewers availed themselves of our
information. purchased the sta mps
and saved the rebate. If our cor
respondent was not among the
lucky ones it was due solely to the
fact that he was not an advertiser
in the SENTINEL.
Credit for our work in this case
being given 20 those who were not
entitled to it, we have had nothing
to do with it since. IL seems,
however, that nothing has been
done by the representatives OF the
Association. AS our correspondent
suggests, there seems to be no
reason why the rebate should be
refused on sales made on the a4th
because the stamps were not used
prior to the passage Of the bill,
and should be allowed on those
purchased (though not used) on
the 23rd.
