General Miles sustained.

1t is announced that the Court of En-
quiry will be able to complete its work in
Chicago in time to leave for Washington
tomorrow evening. This is not because
there are no more witnesses, but because
it is not considered necessary to take any
more evidence in defence of General Niles
charges. A correspondent quotes Colonel
Davis as saying that it has been abun-
dantly proved that bad meat was sold to
the Government and issued to the soldiers.
1t should be noted that this does not
mean the experimental beef referred to b.
the Alger Relief Commission in its white
washing report, but that twenty-five per
cent of all the refrigerated beef had to be
buried and twenty-five per cent of the rest
had to be cut of and thrown away. How
large proportion of the canned beef was
unfit or dangerous has not been estimated.
1t has been established, too, on the testi
mony of many surgeons and regimental
officers, that the beef caused a large
amount of sickness; that the enormous in
crease of the sick list corresponded with
the issue of bad beef. There is evidence
that the refrigerated beef was, in fact,
chemically treated, at least by the Ar
mours and Swifts, and that the chemicals
were Injurious TO health.
These are findings that would be surpris-
ing if the report of the recent Commission
had been received with anything but con-
tempAnThe explanation made by that body,
though without reason, was that an ire
sponsible person had. on his own account
transported beef to Florida to prove that
| by patent process he could preserve it;
and that it was this meat that Major DAILY
saw and examined. Perhaps some persons
who did not follow the proceedings closely
accepted this explanation and thought the
packers had been slandered by General
Miles and Major Daily. To help along this
opinion, one of the Commissioners said, in
a public address, that if the Court of En-
quiry had the same experience the Com
mission did, General Miles would be dis
missed from the army. Fortunately for
the cause of truth. the Court has, not lim-
tied its enquiry to persons in the ccm-
missary service. 1t has even placed Mr..
Marshall, who was refused hearing by
the Commission. on the stand.
The object OF the Alger Relief Com
mission, even the ayowed object. was
to give a certificate of honesty to the
packers. The members seemed to
think it was more important
that the reputation of American meat
should be protected than that justice
should be done, and the soldiers saved from
the fraud and danger of diseased beef.
The facts brought out in the present in
vestigation make it impossible for the
Court to give a certificate to save the
meat business from injury Unless a ref
utation of the testimony of any number of
apparently honest and disinterested wit
nesses is effected-and that seems wholly
mpossible-nothing can save the packers
from prosecution.

The talk of an uprising in Porto Rico is
declared to be nonsense by General Henry.
There is no difficulty in accepting his opin-
ion. The people, though easily influenced
by political demagogues, are not of a
character to be carried to the point of re-
sisting American rule. The grievances are
purely personal and there would never
have been hint of trouble if the COM
missioners who came to Washington had
not been influenced by the Hears and

fathers brought forth upon this CONT
nent new nation, conceived in liberty
and dedicated to the proposition that al
men are created equal.
Nov we are engaged in great civil
war, testing whether that nation, or any
nation so conceived and so dedicated
can long endure. We are met on q
great battlefield of that war. We have
come to dedicate portion of that field
dis a final resting place for those who
here gave their lives that that nation
might live. 1t is altogether fitting and
proper that we should do this
''But in a larger sense we cannot dedi-
cate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot
hallow this ground. The brave men,
living and dead, who struggled here,
have consecrated it far above our power
to add or detract. The world will little
note nor long remember what we say
here, but it can never forget what they
did here. 1t is for us, the living, rather
to be dedicated here to the unfinished
work which they who fought here have
thus far SO nobly advanced. 1t is rather
for us to be here dedicated to the great
task remaining before u.s. that from
these honored dead we take increased de-
votion to that cause for which they gave
the last full measure of devotion; that
we here highly resolve that these dead
shall not have died in vain: that this
nation, under God, shall have new
birth of freedom and that government
of the people, by the people, and for the
people, shall not perish from the earth. .
So, my friends, we too have come here
tonight to dedicate, to consecrate this
portion of our time, our thoughts, our
hearts, to the memory of the dead.

MEMORIAL DAY.

Memorial day was more generally
observed in Morristown on Tuesday than
ever before. Everybody from the young
est to the oldest seemed to catch the
spirit of the day, as was evidenced by
the large number of flags displayed at
half mast, the great concourse of specta-
tors viewing the parade, the enthusiastic
audience in the Lyceum and also by the
general appearance of the cemeteries
where many family parties visited and
decorated the graves of departed friends.

EDITOR CHRONICLE:
As the Silver Jubilee of Dean Flynn
has occurred, and many persons are talk
ing of the Deans merits, and many of
the Morristown weeklies are giving his
life in DETAIL so also / am going to give a
short sketch of him as he is seen by us.
The first thing noticed by the school boy
is his rigid discipline mingled with that
loneliness and fairness which today not
only makes him honored loved and
revered by the school boy but by all.
Speaking Of kindness probably it would
not be amiss to remark a custom
worthy of note; that he never drives out
his horses without first giving them a
lump of sugar, a small token indeed
but one which manifests his fonduess for
dumb animals His soldier career
though somewhat brief clearly manifests
that unceasing desire to perform his
duties About the only time he broke
camp regulations and that for a humane
cause occurred in this way; one of his
comrades was strung up by the thumbs
for some offense and the unfortunate
fellow was crying, appealing for help
and Private Flynn could no longer stand
such sight and cut him down. The
captain was drunk and nearly gave him
the same punishment his comrade had
just received. OF his eloquence we need
say nothing, as that is known to every
one who has heard him. He is the
essence of piety and that divine charity
for which he is characterized like the
great Admiral of today, no matter how
much his character and actions are look
ed at he cannot be regarded but as ar
honest, devoted, meek, humble and
learned man.

REVOLUTIONARY HEROES.

1t is a very pleasing fact that so much
regard is paid to the graves of our
soldiers who took part in recent wars.
1t seems rather strange therefore that
the custom of decorating the graves of
our veterans has not extended to those
who fell during the Revolutionary War.
To say that these men were just as
brave as any who have ever fought for
our country would be superhuous.
We believe the seeming neglect is caused
from want of thought and not from any
lack of appreciation of their services to
the country Would it not be a grace
full thing if in addition to its other
patriotic and public services, the
Washington Association of New Jersey
should take the lead in making arrange
ments for the decoration of the last
resting places of Washington's soldiers.
