NOTHING can contradict the evidence
OF the men who ate and felt the effects
of the villainous stuff called roast beef
that was furnished our soldiers during
the late unpleasantness with Spain,
and now OH top of that comes the tes-
timony that an agent of the packing
companies told Commissary Sergeant
Mason, of the First Cavalry, that the
beef shipped in refrigerator cars had
been given a coat of Preservaline.
Forty-seven soldier witnesses testified
to bad beef and there were thousands
willing to do so. This is the testimony
against the canned roast beef; and to
rebuff it is only the testimony of the
officers who saw no bad beef, and the
declaration OF Eagan and his assistants
that they were sure there was nothing
wrong about it. Who is to blame?
That is the question that now is being
asked by the people and when answer
ed properly the guilty wretches should
be tied to the muzzles of the cannon
manned by these soldiers they have
tried to kill by more merciless wea-
pom than Mauser bullet, and blown
into the sweet beyond. The brave
boys who went to Cuba were patriots,
not hirelings, great majority OF
them leaving comfortable homes and
tiresides in the cause Of humanity, and
to have them treated as they have
been in the matter OF food supplies, in
an unfavorable climate, calls for the
most rigid punishment.

THE canteen has been abolished in
the army posts of the United States.
Section II Of the bill reads: "That
no officer or private soldier shall be
detailed to sell intoxicating drinks,
as bartender or otherwise, in any
post exchange or canteen, nor shall
any other person be required or allowed
to sell such liquors in any encamp-
ment or fort or on any premises used
for military purposes by the United
States; and the Secretary OF War is
hereby directed to issue such general
order as may be necessary to carry the
provisions of this section into full
force and effect" This is good law.
The army canteen has ever been a
source of degradation to the soldiers,
who in many instances spent their full
pay for liquor. Gen. Miles, Gen. Shat
ter, Adj. Gen. Corbin and many others
OF the army favored the passage of the
bill.

How To Kill a Town,

Just let your subscription go. It's
only small sum--the publisher don't
need it. If he asks you for it get as
hopping mad as you can and tell him
to stop the paper-you never read it
anyhow. Go home and borrow your
neighbours. When the reporter calls
always be busy. Make him feel as if
he were intruding. When the adver-
Using or job man comes tell him you
don't need to advertise-everybody
knows you; that you will try to get
along without printed stationery-it's
too expensive; that business is slack
and you must economic. Never drop
in to see the editor unless you want a
complimentary notice or lengthy
obituary for a beloved relative. Never
recommend the paper to anybody;
when you speak of it say, Eyes, we
have little sheet, but it don't amount
to much" Keep it up year or two
and you will have dead newspaper,
a dead set of merchants, and q dead

failed to make sufficient appropria-
ton for the state treasurer's Office,

The newspapers report a fight be-
;ween the American miners and Can
adams at Porcupine. These mines
we're supposed to be on American ter
ritory, but the Canadian mounted po-
ice are said to have changed the Bri-
tish flag to take in the Porcupine.
This thing cannot go on much longer
without serious clash. The fault lies
in the actions of those who have had
it in their power to settle this matter,
which they have not done. The Joint
High Commission, after settling eleven
of the questions between Canada and
and the United States, have found the
twelfth an unsurmountable obstacle,
and have adjourned until next August.
II after eight months OF sessions at
Ottawa and Washington the High
Commission-composed of splendid
men on all substantially quit their
work with a controversy not settled, it
will be an everlasting shame. We can
not believe that after all that has
been said and done the relations be-
tween England and the United States
are to be strained. 1t would put back
the doctrine OF arbitration more than
the last quarter OF century has put
it forward. 1t cannot be that ques-
tion OF boundary line will disrupt the
good international feeling. Both sides
had better give up great deal of land
and sea than give up the cordiality of
the two English speaking nations,
who today hold the destinies of the
earth in their mighty grasp. Though
two of the most important members
Of the Joint High Commission have
died as martyrs in the service-Mr.
Dingley from overwork, and Lord
Herschell from wound received while
on duty-yet there are enough good
and great men left on that Commission
to settle once and forever the last diff
ference between these two nations.
