Canned Beef and whitewasb.

If the report of the war investigation
board is to stand and be accepted by the
administration as disposng of the matters
which came within its scope what practical
end Is 10 be served by the board which has
been appointed to investigate Major General
Miles's charges with regard to the beef sup
piled to the army during the war?
The war board has reported that there was
nothing wrong with the beef. that General
Miles was mistaken, as was also his chief
surgeon, DR.. Daily. This is conclusive
enough. and as the board was acting under
the authorization of President Mckinley.
the report under ordinary circumstances
would be accepted by the administration,
and there would be an end to the matter.
The fact is, however, that the circum-
stances are not ordinary, and the report is
not accepted The people generally look
upon the report as a plain job OF white
washing, done with q lavish brush The
President inferentially discounts il by ap-
pointing. coincidentally with the fling Of
the report approving Alger and the beef a
board to investigate the beef.
If this board does It's work thoroughly
the report which it files will be accepted
by the people. but If it does its work ill
the people viii continue to believe the tes-
timony of General Miles. Surgeon Daily and
the thirty or more regular army officers
who have united in declaring the beef bad
So for all practical purposes, this report
Of the war board is NIL. Its work has gone
for naught. and it would better never have
been appointed.

A SIGNIFICANT SMILE.

Mr. Cleveland is reported from Princeton
Manila He could not repress an exhibition
of the satisfaction he felt at the clash be
tween the Americans and the t1ipinos. HIS
first and only thought was OF a predlctlon
he had made that something of that kind
was likely to occur Advised thus that his
prediction had been fulfilled, the spirit OF eX-
ultation took possession of him and he shook
hands warmly with himself. He asked no
questions about the number of the slain or
how the sacrifice stood distributed between
the contending forces He probably did not
care. All dead soldiers look alike to Mr..
Cleveland He simply smiled and turned
But Mr. pGieve iI had another right to
smile. He had not only prophesied, but had
helped to bring about the fultillment Of his
prophecy. He had added his weight-the
weight Of his voice-to the impeachment of
the countrys integrity. He had helped TO
hold up the peace treaty while Aguinaldo
Manila. He had helped to tie the hands of
Dewey and Otis and keep them for five
weeks inactive in the presence of a busy and
treacherous foe. And here was his reward.
Naturally, he smiled. 1t accorded with the
man and his purpose.
Turning from the pleasing intelligence IF
the battle, Mr.. Cleveland submitted himself
to the hands of an artist now in his house
for the purpose of painting his portrait. The
canvas has been ordered by Colonel Lamont,
and presumably will be hung on the wall of
the colonePs study But is the public not
entitled to a sight OF the well-knOwn face
lighted up by pleasure so unusual? The
artist win have caught the prophet in the
hour of triumph. He will have transferred
to canvas the proud expression of Il told
you So" 1t would be unreasonable to eX-
pect Colonel Lamont to consent to a tour
for the picture. But 1T ought to be copied
and put upon the biograph or some other
stout reflector The people ought to be al
lowed to see the smiling effect produced on
a man whom they have twice called to the
presidency by the inteliigence that American
soldiers carrying the stars and stripes have
been killed in battle with Oriental savages.

A BIG STEAL.
Estimate of What Spaniards Took
from Cubans in Two Years.
Washington Special.


Persons in the War Department have been
doing some figuring on the amount OF money
stolen by Spanish officials in Cuba during the
last two years of the insurrecuon, prior 10
the declaration of war by the United States:
The statement is made on apparently good
authority that during most of that period
about $1,000 names were carried or the army
pay rolls in excess of the actual number in
the service, and that the pay for that num-
Der of men was appropriated by General
VIEWER and a small circle of intimateS con-
nected with his immediate establishment.
The pay allowed Spanish soldiers was ~ III
gold a month. Up to within short time
before the blockade by American vessels me ne
Spanish government attempted to keep It's
soldiers in Cuba fairly Wen paid, and the
army was not over four or five months be-
hind in receiving its pay. 1t would there
fore appear that Weyer and his combina-
ton secured some 100000 from the padded
army pay roll.
soldiers SO in silver instead of 50 in gold,
and on the 1400 900 men in Cuba cleared so
in silver a man a month. The allowance
for provisioning the army, SO a soldier a
month was also stolen outright, and the or
ficers made a practice OF taking that sum
from the pay Of the men, eXcuslng the oper-
alton by explaining that owing to distress OF
the government an order had been issued re-
curing the soldiers to pay Tor their SUD-
sistence out of their small stpends. 1t VIII
thus be seen that somewhere between w.
10000 and $50, 100000 was stolen directly from
the army and the government under the
Weyler regime in the way described. There
was also enormous stealing of money APP
propriated by the government for the pur-
chase of ammunition and other supplies.
Millions of dollars were sent into Cuba or,
at least, drawn from the national treasury
at Madrid for the purpose of material for
defenses in Cuba that found Judgement in
the pockets of official thieves in the conf
dence Of the government.
One case has been mentioned by news
paper correspondents of 100000 having been
appropriated for AMMUNITION at Havana,
which was reported bought and stored in the
magazines but which transaction was on
investigation found to be purely fictitious
no actual material having been bought. The
purchasing agent. From what is now known
Of the Cuban situation, army men believe
that Weyler could have suppressed the in
surrection within sixty or ninety days any
time he wanted The wholesale robberies
carried on under his regime explain why ne
did not attempt to put down the rebellion.
Weyler is supposed to have cleared not less
than $40 600, 600 during his stay in Cuba. His
snhordinates and associates divided the rest.

An exchange says: mo mar who

into a row right off, because he had no
hog meat, butter or black bass. Napo-

morning of the fight. The French had
vegetable soup. The South had to give

AN EXCELLENT SUGGESTION.

The suggestion of Gov. Lind, made pub
lie at the meeting of the state high school
board yesterday with reference to holding
of examinations as now held at the end
OF the school term, is one which ought
to meet with general approval, both on
remedy proposed for the recognized evil
effects in many cases of the examination
system: is both effective and sensible. It
is in brief to maintain such a standard
cessful maintenance of that standard by
the pupil will in itself imply a sufficient
proficiency in study to qualify for adj
mission to the university or for gradua-
ton.
Even without the Intervention of the ex.
pert inspector provided for under the plan
it ought to be easy to determine whether
a given pupil in point of diligence and
scholarship is entitled to the high school
| diploma.
A large proportion of the pupils gradu-
ating from the high schools are girls.
The mental worry and anxiety which ara
incident to an approaching examination
invariably provoke nervous disturbances
more or less serious, and in many cases
result in planting the seeds of serious
nervous disease The evil is only a de-
gree less serious in its application to
young people of the other sex The main
tenance of sound physical health at that
particular period should be the first re-
quirement with all who have the care of
young people in their charge Anything
in the educational system which is at
all likely to interfere with this indis-
| pensable requirement should not be toler-
! ated. There is now substantially no
doubt that the effect of approaching ex-
aminations, especially on those of highly
| wrought nervous organizations, is mis-
| chievious in the highest degree The ad-
vantages of the higher education are
no doubt great; but those of a sound
mind in sound body are a thousand
fold all that the highest education can
give.

Lewis have shown themselves by their

THE UNCERTAIN PAUL.

Il Is quite evident from the tone Of the
speech delivered by the British colonial
secretary. Mr.. Chamberlain. before the
Unionist club on Monday, that England
is now quite prepared to strike the ef-
fective blow at Dom Paul and his de-
Germany no longer stands in the way.
That telegram of his, sent 20 President
Kruger on the occasion Of the defeat of
the Jameson raid, was, after all, just one
OF the diplomatic strokes by which he
has won so much distinction for himself
at trying moments of late. The agreeable
! arrane ement between his government and
that of Lord Salisbury, whatever it may
be, that was reached some time ago. dis
poses of the only European ruler who
might be expected to speak even a word
of mild protest in case war is declared
against the Transvaal republic.
England is today the chief advocate Of
arbitration at The Hague. Sut she has
also declared beforehand that she will
tolerate no outside interference and will
not listen to any proposal of intervention
by any other nation. The affair is pure
ly domestic difficulty, and must be set
tied as such.
Doubtless the willy Joseph has the un-
suspecting Paul where he wants him just
at this time. He also has Kitchener;
while the faithful Paul has little else be-
side Gen. Jourdan and his immense secret
service fund, of which Joseph has told the
world with such deep pathos within the
past sixty hours.
According to the cable dispatches Pres
fdent Kruger has been alternately defiant
| and weakened. Just what his condf-
| ton will be when Joseph moves 1t is not
possible to say. There are fears. how
ever, that the pitiful fate of the followers
of the Mahdi has not had as healthful
an effect on him as it might reasonably
be expected to have,
