THAT FAKE INVESTIGATION.

II any thing were needed to prove
the whitewashing character of the So
called war investigation commission it
was the neglect of the commission TO
cross-examine Secretary Alger when
that smiyched and altogether discredit-
ed official was on the stand.
1t has been the steady practice of
the commission, under the lead of Gen.
Beaver, the Pennsylvania politician, to
go upon the assumption that every wit
ness testifying to any thing discredit-
able to the War Department was a liar
and a perjured rascal. Every witness
with anything to tell rejecting on the
conduct of the war vas not allowed
to tell it, but was put on the rack
by Bully Beaver, and worried and har-
ried with impertinent and insinuating
questions rejecting upon his honor and
integrity with a view to angering him
into a rash outburst that might be
used to discredit his testimony. It was
apparently Beavers deliberate purpose
to insult witnesses with this end in
view.
1t showed the intention and purpose

GOOD FOR THE e

Boston Transcript.
Now comes a dentist who knows
whereof he speaks, and says that the
loosening of perfectly sound teeth is
caused by lack of exercise. He says
that our diet is composed of too many
dishes like croquettes and that as little
mastication is necessary for the diges-
ton of such food the gums do not have
brought to them blood sufficient for
their n~ourishment. So, when hereafter
your beefsteak isn't all you think a
steak should be in the WAY of tender
ness don't grumble; just feel glad of
it and let your mind dwell on the good
that your teeth are getting in the way
of exercise.

AN ABSURD SITUATION.

Louisville Courier-Journal
There is something bordering on the
absurd when a great military leader in
the presence of the enemy, with COM
plete control of the situation, if undis-
turbed, is liable to be checked, thwart-
ed, or even superseded by a La or set
of men who have no accurate knowl-
edge of the real situation at the front,
no comprehension of military affairs,
and who may be under the influence OF
advisers whose only object is to ruin
the commanding general, or to make
political capital for the next election.

PERTINENT PRESS M

Detroit Free Press.
Senator Hoar raised a pertinent
question in the Senate when he wanted
to know whether the Filipinos were to
be regarded, after the treaty was rati-
fed, as citizens of the United States
or subjects. If the Paris treaty is
ratified without amendment nothing
can be more certain than that the Mas
sachusetts Senator's question will
thrust itself upon the country to create
discussions and wranglings.

BACK PAY OF THE CUBANs.

New York Times.
1t would be interesting to know how
the rumor got into circulation in Cuba
that we were about to advance 8 ,000,-
600 toward paying up the Cuban SOL
diers. The rumor is evidently taken
seriously in Cuba Perhaps the most
curious thing about it is that the small
ness of the sum excites the resentment
of some of the Cuban soldiers. One
Cuban patriot and General, who hap
pens to be a Colombian by birth, and
came to Cuba only in 1896. is so much
wrought upon that he declares that our
government is worse than Weyler's.

Richard Croker says that while he
favors expansion, he is not an imper-

alliance. 1t is a good thing for the
country in general and for the Demo-

quest upon the department, and that
the district would receive the maps
provided the senator's quota was as
large as the number required.
In reply to the communication from
John Boutwell, of Sheridan with refer

progressing satisfactorily.
