Results Worth Cost Of Investigation.

In view of the fact that General
since told the investigation commits
sion, which testimony has been sub
stantiated by the government expert.
there no longer is occasion for surprise
that Miles made the remarks lie did
concerning what he was pleased to
term "embalmed beef"
Granted, however, that salicylic and
boracic acid We're used on the beef. as
appears from the analysis of the beef
tea submitted by Daily. as that which
he made from the meat shipped to
Porto Rico. it does not follow that
General Egan knew of the fact or that
he or the contractors intended thereby
to cheat the government or to iniure
the health Of the soldiers. Probably
many, who are shocked at the findings
In this case. have drank just such
antlseptics in unfermented juices and
small per cent. beers, and, very likely,
have eaten them in meats. 1t is seen
that not all the physicians agree with
DR.. Days conclusions concerning the
alleged Injurious effects of boracic acid.
and some authorities assume to believe
that the Quantities Of salicylic acid
used would be practically harmless
AT best however this could afford the
contractors no excuse for resorting to
s"eh practices and then denying 1t.

Mr.. Payne may not be the equal of
Mr.. Dingley. but such men as the late
congressman from Maine are very
rare. At the same time. the new leader
of the House has won his high position
by earnest, faithful work for his State,
his country and his party. He is not 4
great orator, but he Is a man of wide
culture, and well supplied with that
knowledge of national legislation which
comes from a long experience in the
halls of Congress. He represents one
of the populous and wealthy districts
of the western section of the Empire
State, and has been a member of the
House for fully 10 years. There can be
no doubt that he will prove good
chairman Of the most important COM
mittee, and a safe, wise and discreet
leader of the strong Republican ma
jority.

1t seems likely that the situation in
the Samoan islands, which threatened
to lead to grave complications. will be
speedily simplitied by the prompt ac-
ton taken at Washington which has
made plain that the United States is
not going to submit to any imposition
from Germany. Already IL is animated
that the German government will seek
the easiest way out of impending
trouble, by disavowing the arbitrary
acts of its representatives in Samoa
That those representatives doubtless
acted under instructions will not pro.
tect them from being made scapegoats.

We apprehend also that another time

Driving Back the Sea.

The end Of this month will see the
beginning in Holland of one of tn,
greatest enterprises of modern times
the transformation of the Zuyder Zes
into dry land. This work Is com.
menced in accordance with the wishes
of the young Queen Wilhelmina who
does not want the first year of he,
reign to pass without undertaking
some stupendous task that will ever
stand as a monument to mark the be-
ginning of her rule. II is indeed n
stupendous task as 49, square miles Of
ocean will be driven back and held by
a great dixie.
The legislature of the Netherlands
and Queen Wilhelmina have approved
all Of the plans of the Zuyder Zee Com
pany. and next week a force of 5000
workmeD, engineers. divers, carpenters.
masons. sailors. etc, will begin to
build what is to he called the master
dixie This great dixie is to run from
the village of Ewyksluis. in the
province of North Holland, to the viii
lage of Piaam, in the south province
of Friesland. using the island of Fries
land as part of the great bulwark that
is to shut the German ocean out of the
land which is now the Zuyder Zee
The building of this great dixie will. ii
is estimated, require nine years. and
the expenditure Of ST., 100000. while for
the completion OF the whole task it is
believed IS years time and $4,000. 900
will be needed. The draining of this
sea will add nearly 500 square miles OF
very rich and fertile land to Holland,
and those who are capable judges say
that it will add $500 100000 to the
wealth of the plucky little country
which now bravely undertakes such an
immense piece of work Thousands of
powerful windmills are to be erected
along the shores of the Zuyder Zee to
pump out the great basin as rapidly as
the bikes advance, and as the land is
drained it will be sold to the people at
$500 per acre. Large companies and
trusts will not be permitted to buy the
new land, and only individuals can
own it.
The magnitude of the undertaking
almost takes ones breath, and it
should make our American engineers
ashamed of themselves. Think of littl.
Holland driving back the sea and re-
claiming 1871 square miles of land.
while here in the United States the re-
straint of the Mississippi river is cost
ing our government millions of dollars
a year. and even then it cannot be
successfully held in it's banks. We had
best learn lesson from the people of
Holland, and build bikes like theirs in.
stead of our weak levees.
