The court OF inquirY's Investi-
CATION OF the army beef scandal
is drawing to a close. Innumer-
able witnesses have confirmed
every charge made by Genera
Miles in the interview hrss pubN
lished in the TouyHak The pri-
vate soldiers and the officers
were equal sufferers from the
rancid, poisonous stuff put up into
cans, labelled "roas beef" and
furnished by the Chicago packers
as an army ration under orders
from the Commissary De ?artment.
Those whose health was en-
dangered and whose lives we're
imperilled by this nauseating mass
OF muscle, tallow and shredded
meat have sworn to the truth
before the court Of inquiry. No
d enials from the Beet Trust, which
prohted by this iniquity; no pro-
testations Of ignorance on the part
OF the officials whose duty it was
to provide clean, wholesome TODD
tor the troops; no amount OF trick
cry by the cabal organized to des-
troy General Miles, can convince
the people that this unfit beef was
not deliberately furnished by profit
seeking contractors in alliance
with corrupt officials.
Within the last week an officer
Of the War Department has been
publicly reprimanded by Alger or
the charge OF securing testimony
to prove General Miles's accusa-
tions. The whole force OF the Ad.
ministration, including many sub.
servient party organs, has been
employed to weaken the testimony
given before the court Of inquiry
but the proof is overwhelming.
What course will the President
take if the court decides that Gen
eral Miles's charges have beer
sustained Alger is still a msm
Der OF his Cabinet, and Eagan
convicted Of blackguardism, is the
generous recipient Of his favor
Has he the courage to deal witt
these incomDetents according t
their desertsS

The Truth May Out.

Here is a bit of the testimony
taken bv the beef court oil inquiry
in Washington on last Monday:
Major zee stated that General
Eagan had testified that the COM
pany had guaranteed that the beet
should be kept good for seventy
two hours alter leaving the refrig-
orator, either on shipboard or on
shore.
81 can only say" responded Mr..
Swift, that General Eagan, at the
time Of the interview, seemed to
have the same understanding Of
the contract that l had. In view
Of his testimony l can only say that
he was mistaken"
Then the insertion Of the clause
limiting to twenty.iour hours the
time meat should be fresh after
taken out oI the refrigerator was
not a clerical error, as suggested
by the General7' Major Lee
asked.
That cannot be So" said Mr..
Swift. He said his agents would
take good care to protect the meat
from the sun, and l assured him
that il this were done the meat
would be good twenty four hours
after being taken from the refriger-
ator."
In other words, the Chicago
packer says Eagan has added the
sin Of bearing false witness to his
other offences. Now that the
packers and the Algerites have
fallen out we may expect TO get at
the whole truth of things.

Miss Lillian Russell's appearance at
the Lafayette Square Opera House
for a weeks engagement, beginning
Monday night, will be awaited with
interest by her many admirers here,
"La Belle Helene" " Ohenbach's famous
NEUROLOGICAL burlesque, adapted for the
American stage by Louis Harrison, will
be presented, with Miss Russell in the
title role, supported by Thomas O.
SeabroOke and Miss Edna Wallace
Hopper, in conjunction with the George
w Lederer Opera Company, drecr
from the New York Casino. TIE COM
pany assembled BY Manager Lederer
possesses popular qualifications, and
the tone Of the performance is distinctly
refined. La Belle Helene" ispictorially
delightful. Miss RusselPs taste in
costuming is certainly irreprcachabe,
and Manager Lederer mas displayed the
same judgment IN the dresses Of the
others OF the cast. Mr.. ]. S. MIron AS
Agamemnon and Ferris Hartman as the
decrepit Menalaus are also valuable
accessories in the general entertainment
Washington sentinel., 1899-04-01

Comic operas built to suit the pur-
poses, to display the peculiar character'
istics and to conceal the limitations of
popular singing comedians or comedi-
ennes, are divested Of what thoughtless
people consider the major part oI their
attracuveness when the stars abandon
the roles in which their admirers found
them so comical. 1t is therefore rather
difficult for any company to attract the
public to performances of works which
have been discarded by such favorItes
as Francis Wilson, De Wolf Hopper or
Frank Daniels unless the opera iu itself
possesses inherent worth and from it's
intrinsic merit commands attention.
Messrs. Harley &Rheinstrom, who are
presenting Sousa's Gel Captain" this
sGason, feel that they control piece OF
amusement property that does not
necessarily call for a star to prove a
drawing attraction, snd Dase their con-
hdence on the great popularity which
the music of Gel Captain has achieved
not only in this country, but in every
land where military music is heard.
Furthermore, "El Captain is not only
the most pronounced ard universally
admitted success Of a man with many
successes as a cOmpos to his crecit,
but the fact remains that the i'retto
by Charles Klein is the very best ever
evolved by an author whose claims in
this respect are acknowledged by fair
minded judges, and who has but lately
been called upon to furnish that intel
lige player, Sol Smith Russell, with
a new play.

This is a specimen Of the Eng

tempt he stated that the offers
came from ex.Congressman kulp,

Representative Caldwell testi
fed that he was assured that if he
would vote Tor Quay a friend Of
his would be appointed to a polit-
cal position.
There are at least a hundred
more legislators to be examined
and now that the ice has been
broken further proof of attempted
bribery should be forthcoming.
Indignant denials from Quay
and his friends will follow. The
Senator can prove an ahbi. He
has been so busy shaking the

restoring his shattered nerves in
Florida, that he has not had time
to conduct his campaign in person.
If any supporter Of his has been so
unwise and impetuous as TO try
to bring legislators to vote Tor him

not be held responsible.
Quay might be tempted to loot
a State bank Of ITS funds, but that
he would soil his hands with the
mere bribing Of legislator is too
absurd for serious consideration

The Germans.

Tacitus and especially later
Roman writer's speak of the i'm
mense size Of the half barbarian
Germans who came from the North
TO Rome. The Roman males, like
those OF France now, having be-
come degenerate, weak and small in
stature, were, when compared with
the stately, strong Germans, Jokeel
upon with disdain and dislike by
the Roman women
When the funeral OF the late
President Faure took place at Paris
all the world looked with wonder
and admiration upon the tai, hand
some, well formed German officers
all over six feet, who mad been sent
by the Emperor TO represent Ger
many at the funeral. The French
males being like the Romans OF the
second century after Christ, short
and small, the French ladies fol-
lowed their Roman sisters and
became greatly enamored OF the
German officers. Even now the
latter are the talk OF PARIS and the
GaloiS, a Paris paper, earnestly
asks the French ladies not tc
marry any one under the height o
FIVE and a halt feet, 10 improve the
stock. That will necessitate ar
importation as in France the de-
rnand cannnt be snnnlied.

Washington a series Of elaborate

The same players will not be forced to

The local option election in this
district Wednesday, passed off
quietly, and a large number OF
votes were polled. Great interest
was manifested, and both sides
worked earnestly. The "drys" are
said to have won in the district by
@ majority. At the last election.
two years ago, it went local option
by 81 majority. Leesburg polled
3I6 votes against the law and sr6
for it, a tie. Goresville decided
the contest by giving a maj ority
Of sixteen votes Tor the law
A peculiar thing was the fact that
the majority OF the negroes voted
for the law which prevents reput-
able restaurants and Gales from
selling liquor legitimately. This
action on the part Of the negroes
is accounted for by the TACT that
the darky element did not care to
have their business interrupted and
by this strategy they will continue
to reap a harvest by the Illicit sale
Of whisky.
