Baseman Padden, the new Senator:
Dick Padden is also a good one to stand

time pitcher puts one in the batters' box.
Dick is the best second baseman for a right
fielder to play behind l ever saw He can

EAGAN's PUNISHMENT.

The malign influence Of klger over the
President is apparent in the latters or
der committing the sentence Of General
Eagan. The offence of which Eagan was
convicted was a most serious one. The
world has known few more glazing in
stances Of characterization to and Wifi
cation of q superior officer.
The court which tried Eagan felt in
DUTY bound to find that he should be dis
missed from the army. 1t is true the
members Of it recommended the accused
20 the mercy of the President, but we
dare say they never expected It to be
carried 10 the extent It has been carried
IN the Presidents order Of Communication.
General Eagan was able TO show that
he was nearly crazed by anger and in
dignation by General Mlless charges
about the "embamed" beef; but as some
thing of an offset to that fact, it must
be remembered that Eagans denuncia-
ton of Miles was made most deliberately.
His statement" had been dictated to a
stenographer and Transcribed upon type
writing machine; it had been read to at
least one friend, and it had been pre-
pared day or two before IL WAS fired
or before the Dodge Commission. Vet,
as the New York Herald says, the Presi
dent has simply given Eagan a six years
leave of absence. with pay at $500 per
arnum. AT the expiration Of the six
years, unless Eagan's sentence should be
farther communicates is not unlikely-he
will so upon the retired list.
OF course. any sort Of sentence would
prove humiliating TO Eagan. but surely
he must know that he has gotten eff
very easily. For that he must thank
Alger. who has caused the President to
defy public opinion upon the subject.
Even the New York Tribune thinks the
President has Numbered in this matter
There is one ground that might have
oeen advanced in extenuation Of Eagan's
conduct, but was not ENTHUSIASTICALLY.
This is that Eagan was a product, II not
an instrument of Alger's management.
Alger is rightly ehargeable with much of
the trouble that Eagan and Miles have
gotten themselves into. His administra-
ton of the War Office has been blot
upon Mr.. McTJnley's administration that
can never be effaced- Neither Ayers
military record, nor his capacity for pub
lie affairs, nor his personal attractive
ness justified his appointment to or con-
1inuance In office.
1t has been said that Alger got his
place IN consequence OF. a trade that Mr..
Hanna made with him to secure his
(Algers) influence TO help nominate Mr..
Mckinley. We know not whether this
story is true or false. but it is the only
excuse we have ever heard offered for the
Presidents giving the position of Secre-
tary Of War TO such an incapable
and unpopular man.

THE CANAL BILL

The Washington correspondent or the
New York Herald states that Senator
Morgan has about given up all hope that
the Nicaraguan canal bill will become
a law at this session Of Congress.
The bill has passed the Senate, but the
House Committee TO which it was re-
ferred has proposed q substitute for it,.
As we said yesterday, the substitute is
a radical one. AS matter of fact, it
is an entirely new bill.
Instead of creating a corporation to
do the work, it provides for straightout
governmental control. Instead Of appro-
priating 100000 to extlnguish the rights
and acquire the property Of the Maritime
Canal Company it is silent on that sub
ject.
The Herald correspondent is Informed,
however, that the bill will probably have
early consideration in the House. II So,
if is believed that the substitute will GER
tainly pass. Then a committee OF con-
ference would follow, and an effort would
be made to reconcile the disagreeing votes
Of tho two houses. All of these things
will require time and make prompt ac-
ton all the more necessary.
Much depends upon the willingness of
Sneaker Reed to give the bill fair show
ing at its various stages. But though de-
Law may defeat the measure temporarily,
# will not KIN IT, The people have made
ND their minds TO have a ship canal across
the Isthmus of Nicaragua. and Congress
will have 10 execute their will sooner or
later That this is true cannot be denied,
and, therefore, 1t would be great pity
If tactics should be adopted by the oppo-
sition which would postpone work whole
year. That would be the result Of nom
action upon the part of Congress now.
for there is no longer prospect or an
extra session.
Practically speaking, and as shown by
various tests. beth houses Of Congress
are in favor of giving the aid Of this
government to tile construction OF a
canal. but they differ as 70 the method
Of conducting the work. But in either
case the Influence of this government
would be supreme. For all these reasons
| and divers others, it Is 10 be hoped the
! House will hurry up and see If the bill
cannot be enacted into law before the
| 4th of March arrives.
