uUEE COURTS REPORT.

Tho "Beef Court Of Inquiry" having re-
fused 70 summon over a hundred or the
witnesses General Miles requested it TO
summon. it is thought that the taking oil
testimony will be concluded TINS week
II cannot be said, however, that the re-
mort Of the court is awaited with much
interest: and for the simple reason that
,l,a+ renort has been pretty generally an
ticipated.
The WASHINGTON correspondent or the
baltimore Sun, whose latest forecast
touching this matter harmoniZes WIN
that of most of the other Washington cor
resnondents. says that while there is no
doubt that General Miles has in the main
substantiated every charge he made the
| court Is so palpably anti-Miles that 1t Is
scarcely possible that it will handle the
| beef question vigorously. The Suns cor
RESPONDENT predicts that there will not be
a whitewashing of the whole question
nc completely as the War Investigating
| Commission whitewashed the War De
nartment. but. he adds, the friends OF
| General Miles have no expectation thai
q report will be presented based on the
testimony received.
Precisely Owing to the fact that by rea'
son of circumstances 1t could not contro
tho court brought out testimony 1t die
not desire to bring out, it will be impos
| sible for il TO prevent little nothing il
rs coat Of whitewash. But 1t is eviden
| that TO all intents and purposes its repor
,s going TO be as great a farce as wer
! the findings of Mr.. McKinley's War De
partment Board of Whitewashers.
However. there is one hope. That Is
that II will so disgust the people as
stimulate a demand for an investigation
that will really inyestigate-an investiga
ton by an impartial committee OF Con
gress. which will take In the conduct O
the war from beginning TO end ana Ia

RECRUITING BRISK.

or those existing. the majority are
persons who have seen service in volun-
teer commands. ana who have become
enamored of army life. 1t Will be re-
,nembered that the great majority of the
volunteers never reached the West Indies
or the Philippines: but the recruits seem
not 10 come from that class only.
The spirit OF adventure is rife with
thousands Of our young men, and most
of those who enlist are anxious for for

sratihed in this respect. but we doubt
II they fully realize the dangers they will
have to confront We speak not OF the
bullets OF "the rebels" but OF the slaring
suns and miasmatic capp-grounds in

her. That this is true cannot be success

found advocating a change two years

In this connection it is important to
remember that the entire delegation from

The proposition 10 submit the consutu-
tional amendment TO the votes OF the
several state legislatures We may pre-
sumo that these gentlemen thought they
were representing the people, We must
suppose. too, that they had made inquiry
and found that as true representatives
they could not do otherwise than support
the resolution. But what became OF that
resolution? Why. it went TO the Senate
md was buried there, as several Ike
resolutions had been buried before
All experience in this matter goes 10
show that the Senate will not pass such
a resolution unless it finds that the peo-
pie are firm and insistent that it shall
do so. All that is asked Of the Senate Is
that II will give the several States the
opportunity TO say whether they wisr
che Constitution TO be amended or not
Does the Senate think the people do no
,vant the Constitution changed? Hard
". However, We may thank 1t fo'
not submitting the amendment year
ago. Its fate might have bee'
uncertain then; but in the Ign
OF recent events, it is not Difficult
TO foresee that the time is coming whel
tho amendment win be submitted; also
that when it is submitted, it will b
adopted.
All we ask of the gentlemen who thin
the people do not wish change Is l
give them an opportunity 10 say whethe
they do or not.
