ent, who is at all times friendly to
tie administration, announces that
the reiteration by Gen. Miles of his
charges of embalmed beef having
been furnished the troops of the
United States during the war with
Spain was discussed at Yesterdays
meeting of President McKinley's cab
inet-'.principally as TO its effects
upon the cattle and packing interests
OF the country" The effect of such
practices as the head of the army has
charged upon the poor boys in blue
who, trusting to their country to pro-
tect them at least from danger
Gus enemies at home-as those who
would be guilty of communicating
the food supply of soldiers most as
suredly are more to be feared and alb
hored than the common enemy-has
not moved the present cabinet to ac-
ton. But when the moneyed inter
ests of the land begin to suffer. it be-
comes time to do something. The
administration is then even willing to
risk an investigation and take the
chances of in that way finding some
way of choking off the charges which
are proving detrimental to the bust
ness interests in certain lines. The
fair and open method of disposing of
the charges as far as all are concerned
is to investigate in an impartial mau-
ner, and if the charges are well
founded, make an example of the
guilty. If not, discipline the accuser.
But are the American people to seal
their lips in the face of an alleged
crime against their soldiers because an
exposure may cause certain lines of
business to suffer? Either Gen.
Miles is performing great and coura-
geous duty to the volunteer soldier of
the republic, or he is doing a great
injustice to certain business interests,
no less than to certain departments of
the army. In either case full in
vestigation is what the American peo-
pile want, and their wishes should be
paramount to all influences and inter
ests of whatsoever character.

Contest senatorships.

Boston Herald.
1t must be confessed. whatever may
be thought of our system of electing
senators in theory, that in operation
it is conspicuous failure. In elect
ing other officers, the people meet in
convention and name their candidates,
and they come together at the polls
and settle who is to he chosen. This
i usually but days work in each
case. In electing senators the legis-
latures quarrel over the subject for
weeks and months, to the detriment
of legitimate legislation, and it may
be then leave the office vacant, 1t
would seem that such a system can
not reasonably be continued.

The treatment of the entire body with
dry hot air, with the exception of the
head, is more effective than the vapor
or usual Turkish bath because higher
temperature and for longer periods of
time can be borne if the heated air
is perfectly dry, as is the case in the
BetZ apparatuseS, the electric light
and the incandescent gas light bath,
the patient remaining in a recumbent
position during the treatment, thus
resting and saving energy. The pers-
piration is very profuse and continued
in all these forms of application and
are therefore indicated in obesity,
kidney diseases, i'll defined cases, gen
eral rheumatism, goutenesses, nervous
phenomena, pelvic congestion, ovarian
neuralgia, La Grippe, etc.
