The court-martial sitting in the
case of Gen. Eagan, Commissary
General, who so bitterly reviled Gen.
Miles before the war investigating
commission, found him guilty of the
charges of conduct unbecoming an
officer and a gentleman, and of con-
duct to the prejudice of good order
and discipline, and sentenced him to
dismissal from the United States
army, but with a recommendation
FROM the court for the exercise of
executive clemency.

Kansas. it is said, is refunding her
debt into per cent. interest bond
the interest on the bonds she is
calling in having carried Z per cent.
What is more to the point, it is said
all of her t per cent. bonds are being
taken at home, which indicates that
bleeding Kansas" is no longer being
bled by the "money sharks of Wall
street" The country does not seem
to be plunged in a gulf of dark
despair" when State like Kansas is
able to dispose of its bonds to its owl
people.

The bill now before Congress for
the government of the newly seized
province of Hawaii provides that the
governor thereof, to be appointed by
President Mckinley, shall have pow
er to suspend the right of habeas cor
pus, to impose martial law. and to APP
point aad remove all his subordinates
at pleasure. 1t also restricts the
privilege of su rage to those who
have $1,000 worth of property or an
income of 5000, and who can read.
write and speak the English Ian
guage. This bill shows how far We are
compelled to depart from the prac
tice and theory of our government IN
order to establish American suthori
" over some of our recently acquired
possessions. The safety of a very
small minority of the population of
Hawaii is the sole consideration had
in view. The great majority may be
fairly treated aud their rights main
tanned, but a governor subject to
temptation may make the population
ders IN their interest.

A Washington dispatch to the New
York Herald says that the President
will have in bis possession by Thurs
day the complete report of the war
investigating commission. Ii is fore
casted that the commission finds
nothing 70 censure I'm the administra-
ton; that the major general COM
handing was ordered TO make tour
of inspection, to which he replied that
he was in the habit of making out
his OWE orders; that Gen. Shafter was
informed by the Secretary of War
that Gen. Miles was not TO supersede
him; that the inexperienced civilians
appointed to staff positions soon &C
quired a knowledge of their duties;
that the Secretary of War or mem
bers of his family were not interested
in the selection of camp sites. and
that Gen. Miles had selected several:
that a sufficient number of inspec-
tions had not been made, and that
that department ought to be reorgan-
lied; that the management of the
commissary department is commend
ed; that the charges that chemicals
were used TO preserve meat were with
out foundation and that the refriger-
ated beef furnished the army was ex-
cellent and sufficient in quantity;
that the surgeon general did not
make as many inspections as he
should have done, and failed to en-.
force proper sanitary regulations; that
no fault is found with the other de
partmeuts and that the Santiago and
Porto Rico campaigns are commend
ed. If such is the report of the COM
mission the general verdict will be
that 1t was organized to acquit.

more average intelligence than any other
state in the Union" said Eugene V. Debs

with the advice Secretary Wilson gave to

was great State then. He thinks it is
greater state row.
