The treaohsry of several OF the native
mayors we have installed In tine Philip
pines makes it very evident that we have
accomplished very little SO lar in winn-
ing over the Inhabitants, even those
whom we have had right under our eyes
and to whom we have given some valua-
bic offices and emoluments. Evidently even
in the towns we occnpy the most of them
are still in sympathy with Agiuinaido..and
ready to assist him whenever they can do
SO wiuhaut being found out. In course
Of time they may accept the situation and
make trustworthy servants in carrying
out our policy, but for long time
after we have suhdued the country
it looks as though we should have to de-
pl nd largely upon Americans to admins
ter the civil government.

The Louisville and Nashville railroad
is fighting the Democratic candidate for
governor, Goehel, openly and vigorously.
1t has been distributing copies of news
papers opposed TO him free, and last week
it carried people free to the rally in favor
of John Young Brown, the independent
Democratic candidate. IL may be aues-
toned whether this performance Ia really
calculated to hurt Goebel. We are in
clinad to think that thers Is no state In
the North where the spectacle of rail-
road actively engaged in politics would
not help rather than hurt the man 1t W as
working against, and there are certainly
some where 1t would be fatal to him. But
presumably the Louisville and Nashville
people know what they are about.

New York reporters made frantic
efforts last week to find MIR. Croker In
order to interview him on the Ramapo
water job, but all their labor was In
vain. The king evidently does not pro-
pose to communicate. his ideas In regard
to this job to his SUBJECTS through the
newspapers. Probably his view is that
they are impertinent to ask questions
about it any way, their proper course
being to trust everything to him and
keen still.

LIFE PRESERVERS ON

Youths Companion: A vivid illuStra-
ton of the power of mere words over hu-
man beings is noted by a thoughtful
French writer, Francisque Sarcey. he
says thai after the wreck of the steam
ship Bourgogne many passengers were
found floating, drowned, with life pre-
servers on. The life p~reservers We're
fastened around the belts instead of UNI
der the arms, and the greater weight of
the upper part Of the body had tipped the
head under water, and the person was in
fallibly drowned.
Now, the greater part Of the persons so
drowned were French, and the French
term for a life preserver is ceinture de
sauyetage, or "li~fe-saving belt" This
word c%einture suggests to the mind, in its
moments of disorder and u~nreadiness
such as a great catastrophe brings, the
idea of putting on a b6At, and as a belt is
put around the waist and nOwhere else,
the frightened person instinctlvely adj
justs the life preserver close about the
hips. The result is that as soon as the
person 50 provided falls into the water his
| body tips over, with the heavier portion
downward, and the head is plunged be-
meath the surface.
The word belt" therefore, t he French
writer insists, was the cause of the loss OF
many lives in the B1urgogne disaster. I'm
fortunately, it was not the cause of SO
MANY as the want or courage ana chlN-
airy on the part of the crew. In the Eng
lish anguage we have no such confusing
notion connected with the word which
describes the same object. Perhaps it is
the word life ~preserVer" that inclines us
to put the article on close under the arm
pits, so that it holds the head of a float
ing person out of water
TIL French propose TO counteract the
fatal effect Of their own word by remain
-, ,nt,n1a n nd aa11tpo - n Ic,rc;,rz
which is a kind of waist, and by bringing
in the word bras, or arm, it is expected tC
teach the people to put a life preserver on
lust under the arms.

INVESTIGATING
THE ARMY BEEF

Chicago, March 13-Edward Tilden, who
is treasurer and one of the directors Of
the Libby, McNeill & Libby Packing COM
pany, was the first witness called today
in the army beef inquiry. Referring to
the grade of the stock reported in the
newspapers as "canners,' he said:
II understand that it refers to a cheap
grade of cattle, but so far as the packing
houses are concerned is a misnomer and
does not signify anything"
Witness said the aim is to get a uni
form class of beef for canning, about a
thousand pounds live weight. Generally
the forequarters are used for canning.
Tilden said the company put up two
grades of roast beef but very little of the
lower grade was sold to the government.
He thought his mpa had delivered
the amount sole at camp Alger.
Dr.. George Lyttle, assistant inspector
of the bureau of animal industry, who
had been on duty at various packing
houses in the stock yards, testified that
about one in five hundred cattle was con-
demned. If the animal is to be entirely
condemned the inspector follows 1t to the
rendering tank and sees it put in. He
made no inspection of the tank itself noI
did he inspect the refuse when 1t came
out. In the case Of bruises the brulsed
portions are cut off and condemned. Meat
withdrawn from the tank would not De

SOCIETY OF ENGINEERS.

The Montana Society of Engineers met
at the Auditorium Saturday evening. The
meeting was the first that has been held
in Butte, all the meetings in the past
having been held in Helena. During the
evening arrangements were made for
holding the monthly meetings alternately
in Butte and Helena. 1t is quite probabl
that the headquarters of the society will
be removed to Butte some time in the near
future.
President Eugene Carroll presided. APP
plications for membership were received
from Lewis Cass Parker of Garnet and
c. V. Page of Butte.
The feature of the meeting was a paper
by eN-City Engineer Blackboard on road
work and street paving. He went into
the subject quite eXhaustively. Mr.. Black
ford is opposed to rock paving, on account
of the noise caused by traffic On such
pavement. After the reading OF Mr..
Blackford's able paper the mbe OF
the society discussed paving.
The society will meet again in May.

A woman who said her name was Mrs.
Charles Sweet and her residence on Okla
homa avenu called on Cornelius Kelly,
the chief deputy to the county attorney,
today and related a tale of domestic woe
that would make an Enoch Arden story
if published in detail. She opened her
story by asking for a complaint charging
her husband with having assaulted her
this morning. She showed no outward
signs of the beating she is alleged to have
received at his hands. Asked what had
occasioned the difficulty she stated that
once upon a time she had another hus-
band, but in some manner she had lost
him. He remained lost for such a long
time that she supposed him to be too dead
for ordinary use and decided to marry
another man. The other fellow happened
to be Charles Sweet. Sometime after the
marriage she learned that her supposed
lead husband was very much alive, so
she concluded to give Sweet his walking
papers, Sweet, however, would not ac-
cept them, so she said. She also stated
that she was the mother of four children
for whom she was ~endeavoring to earn an
existence, but Sweet annoyed her to such
an extent that it interfered with her.

The Oregon Short Line has adopted a

train hauls. Railroading is now down to
a fine system and this is but a feature Of
modern economical operating. No empty
trains are run these days if it can be
avoided and every locomotive hauls it's
full capacity or the general superintend-
ent will inquire into it. Heavier engines,
greater capacity cars and other things
help out, the result being that a locomo-
