II NATIONAL scandal.

President Mckinley has misin-
terpreted the patience of the Am
erican people if he thinks they
will accept without adequate ex-
PLANTATION his interference in be-
half of the Captain of Engineers
from Ohio who for nearly two
years has been kept from entering
upon the penalty to which he was
sentenced on charge fmbezzling
81, 100000 from the government.
Oberlin NJ. carter) was tried
nearly two years ago }by court
martial CONSISTING of fourteen Off
GERS of the army ny presided over
by General Otis. The condemna-
ton of his conduct by the mem
bers of that tribunal was unani-
nous. Not one of them dissented
from the conclusion of guilt and
the sentence passed upon him.
No punishment was followed.
The president has shown an mex
plicable interest in this disgraced
officer. The papers in the case
were scrutinized and approved by
the secretary of war. Neverthe-
less, the chief executive did not
act. Instead, he had ex-senator
Edmunds. one of the ablest law
yers in the country, go over the
papers to see if some ground could
not be discovered for a modifca-
ton OF mitigation of Csrter's SEN
tence.
For this service Senator Ed
muuds Was paid fee of $4,000
out of the United States treasury.
Great lawyer though he was, he
could find no flaw in the proceed
ings of the CONTINENTAL and re-
ported that the finding of that
tribunal was entirely justifable.
This did not satisfy Mr.. McKin-
ley. He placed the papers IN the
hands of Attorney General Griggs
for examination and report. There
they have lain for months and
Griggs has taken no action.
The people are asking the mo-
tive of the man they have elected
to execute the laws when he shows
such unwonted leniency to a sen.
fenced embezzeler of more than a
million and half dollars of their
money. They have right to
know why justice has not been
done. In the growing demand oil
the public for an explanation, there
is something morsimperative than
anxiety for the punishment of g
dishonest engineer officer. The
vindication of the official conduct
of the President of the United
States is involved.

October there will be almost a
complete conjunction of all the
planets, which event has not hap
pened before, it is said, in 5000
years. It is common to have two
or three planets in conjunction,
and storms usually follow this,
but when all the planets got so
near in line astronomers and
weather men say "look out for
storms" People should prepare
