THE BEEF INVESTIGATION.

fessor Chittenden Did Not.
Washington, April 6.-The two prin-
cipal witnesses before the beef inquiry
court yesterday were Professor Russell
III. Chittenden, of Yale college, and DR..
Samuel A. Currie, who was lieutenant
colonel of the Second New Jersey regi-
ment, which was stationed at Jackson
vile during the war Professor Chit
tenden is one of the chemists selected by
the government. to analyze the canned
roast beef He presented his report,
showing that the beef generally was
good. No chemicals had been found by
him in its preparation, and it was gen
orally wholesome. He, however, ex-
pressed doubt as to whether the heat
Of a tropical climate would not cause
the fat in the cans to liquify, and thus
render the food displeasing to the sight.
Colonel Davis stated that most Of the
cans from which the samples were taken
for analysis haf~ been exposed to the
heat of tropical countries, some Of the
cans being brought from Havana for the
purpose Of the test.
DR. Currie testified that the refriger-
ator beef supplied at Jacksonville had on
some occasions made the men sick. He
had made chemical analysis of the beef,
which in one case showed the presence
of salicylic acid and in another OF boracic
acid

The situation in the non-union glass
factories of South Jersey is exceedingly un-
fortunate. It is unfortunate that the
manufacturers cannot see their way clear
lines pay their workmen, at regular inter-
walls, and in cash. They exact cash from
those to whom they sell their ware, why
pay their men in rents and provisions.
That system tends to degrade rather than
uplift it tends to PROFICIENCY rather than
thrift. These manufacturers have asked
which give them advantages of profit not
possessed by the people at large, and their
workmen should be the best paid, the best
housed, the best clothed of all American
wotknen, and without recourse to associa-
t;ons for protection. Instead we are in

ing point and less; girls have taken the
place Of men In the packing room lin the
Giassborc works. at ieast) and on the
grinding stone, at the sacrifice of health
and womanly instincts; their meager pay
splices out the pittance Of father and
brothers. We doubt if the pauper labor
OF Europe is so oppressed as the en-
pIoyees Of the glass baron at GIassbOro, who
is quoted as denying the right Of the
workmen to RON his business
In the broad application of business prin-
cipIes, nobody will dispute the right of
employers to manage their own business.
And the glass manufacturers do manage
thsir business and have secured govern
meut aid to make it profitable. The work.
men must manage their business, too, and
one essential to their business is wages. II
Mr. whitney would allow his workmen a

Under the caption, An Explanation
Needed the Bulletin last Monday said -
When Alger appeared before the War
Investigating Commission General Beaver
asked him the following questions Did
you have official complaints OF any kind
from any officers or others at the camps
or in Porto Rica as to the fresh beef or the
canned roast beef?D To this query Alger
responded emphatically, No. SIR" Still
pursuing the subject. General Beaver asked
further: "Did you ever have any special
complaint as TO the food furnished the
army from the army itself ?" The reply
again was, No, sir"
Yesterday the regular report of Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt, the leader of the
Rough Riders in the Cuban campaign, was
made public for the first time Hitherto
this document had been carefully suppress
ed by the War Department, but il could
no longer be withheld after the Court of
Inquiry had demanded it's production. In
the report, under date of September TO-,
1898, is this statement:
The canned roast beef was worse than a
failure as part of the rations, for, in effect
it went to reducing the rations by just so
much, as the great majority Of the men
found it UNBEATABLE.
This language seems tOlerabIy explicit.

Daring the month of March, $50 corpo-
rations were formed under New Jersey e
corporations laws which charge a small
entry fee, and confer the extraordinary
powers of unlimited liability of stock holders,
and almost unlimited powers Of bond
issue, and of consolidation.
Among these corporations, there were
81 which sought and asked authority to
issue stock and bonds of over one million
dollars each, and the capitalization of
these "a corporations reached the enormous
sum of ST. i'll $50 000-for which the State
received fee of $4,000.
Each and every one of these 81 corpora

their employees; and to control the prices
at which the public can ordinarily procure

Indiana contractors are organizing a
stock company in opposition to trusts
and business combinations. 1t is asserted
that nearly every kind of material and
supplies needed in their work is controlled
by some kind of trust or combination,
aud the result is, they say. that prices are
up so that the contractors are virtually
forced out of business unless they lose
money on contracts they take. Similar
movements are contemplated in other
States, and the process of incorporation
threatens to go on until private enterprise
is completely destroyed. The ultimate
results may be revival of hostility to cor
porations which the Democratic party
manifested in its early days and the oyer
throw of the whole system of organized
capital, which from a useful servant has
become tyrannical master.
