EaG;Iu aud General Miles.

There. are many, officers in the regular
army who must wait some years 10 be re-
tired, who would be glad to be relieved
of active duty, provided they could re-
ceive full pay. except allowances, until
a few days before retirement. The Presi-
dent has shown there is way to accom-
plish this. If an officer is credited with
bravery or good service in the past, all he
has 80 do is 10 blackguard his superior
officer in way TO shock all decent people
and get himself condemned by n court
martial TO disgracefuI dismissal from the
army.
There is one phrase in the Presidents
order in the Eagan case that requires at
tention. He says having regard also,
to the mitigating circumstances which
were developed during the trial" What
were these2 Presumably the assertion
that Eagan had been uniustly accused by
the object of his vituperation of allowing
bad beef to be supplied To the army. The
President obviously assumes that the
charges We're unjust and untrue, and there
fore the indignant state of mind of Eagam
was IN a measure warranted.
1t is impossible for anybody to maintain
this assumption on the strength of any
known evidence. On the contrary. there
is ample and convincing proof that Eagan
was, Al the best. guilty of negligence in
the matter of beef ratlons This fact will
appear when Court of Enquiry takes up
the accusations made by General Miles.
WHAT should, in the present state of the
Presidents information add to the gravi-
ty OF Eagan's offence is wrongfully used
in defence of a mitigation of his sentence.
AS it stands, General Miles is virtually
condemned by the President although he
is not merely ready, but eager, TO establish
the truth of all his allegations Without
form OF trial without the least investiga-
ton. the Commanding Generals perform
ance OF duty in calling attention TO a
monstrous abuse of our soldiers and a
fraud on the Government, is made the
ground of favor TO one of the persons in
volved in the wrong.
Eagan has contended that he violated all
the laws of civilized society and military
comducr-for the distinct purpose of throw
ing odium on General Miles and relieving
himself Of the suspicion of negligence or
worse in the administration of his office
Ia effect, the President gives his endorse
ment to Esgan's contention. To persons
who have not followed the evidence pre-
sented by General Miles, Eagan must ap-
( pear to be right, except in a technical sense.
and General Miles wrong This is mani
! festly unjust and calculated TO demoralize
/ the military service. 1t is warming to the
! highest officers that they cannot afford to
! expose fraud, although that is one of their
/ supreme dUties~~Tae- officials of the War
| Department are exempt from all liability
! for inefficiency or worse. since the officer
/ who exposes their wrongdoing has not
only the War Office, but also the President
against him. Nothing. not even the abuse
of appointing incompetent civilians to
staff POSITIONS has done so much TO impair
the discipline and morale of the army as
this leniency toward Eagan and the refiec-
| tion on General Miles.

JURORS SCORED.
Judge Stewart Said Their Verdict
Was n Perversion of Justice.

Judge Stewart Said Their Verdict
Was n Perversion of Justice.
Chambersburg Pa, Feb. S.-The most
severe scoring Franklin county jury has
ever received was that given here yester-
day by Judge John Stewart. who is holding
his first court in his second term of ten
years. Criminal cases were on trial and
the case of Charles Wilmington. charged
with robbing drunken man in Waynes
boro last Christmas, was before the court.
The case against the Defendant was made
out most clearly, iyetthe jury returned a
verdict of not guilty.o
The Judge saido that the verdict was a
surprise, perversion of justice, and put
in Jeopardy the valus, of property in the
county. In all his experience on the bench
he had never had verdict of the kind re-
turned and he hoped Chat for the interests
of the good and law abiding people of the
county that such . gross perversion of JUS
tice would not OCCUR again

Any resolution of the Senate declaring
our intention to establish an Independent
government in the Philippines, would be to
dishonor the American soldiers who have
fallen in the battle at Manila. As far as
the Filipinos are represented by AguinaIdo.
they have forfeited all claims to any con-
sideration except at the hands of General
Otis. Their own act has freed us of any
duty to them. The people would execrate
Senate that should insult our dead by an
act of unwarranted generosity toward their
slayers. while their guns are still smoking
and while they are still unsubdued

SERMON BooMs MATRIMoNY.
Young Women of Father CarroII's
Parish Heed His Advice.

New York, Feb. S.-"There are too few
marriages in this parish said Rev. Father
Carroll. of St. Patrick's Church. in Jersey
City. a few Sundays ago. He expressed
the opinion that this condition was due to
the fact that the young women of his par
ish were too selfish, too fond of dress and
wanted to be sure that they would have
their own home before they accepted a
proposal of marriage.
Father Carroll's remarks have had a
marked effect on the young people of the
parish. On last Sunday the bans for four
marriages were announced from the altar.
Rev. Father Carroll. when seen last night,
declined to talk on the subject.
