THE EMBALMED BEEF.

AS great dealt being said about
"Embalmed Beef" of late, we give
space to the following editorial from
the Denver Republican:
The testimony of DIR. DAILY, chief
surgeon with General Miles, in re-
gard to the condition of some OF the
beef Furnished the army in the cam
paign against Cuba aud Porto Rico,
sustains the charge made by the
commanding general, that the beef
was unfit for human food and that
it must have been chemically treat
ed.
1t is not to be believed that a
physician Of good standing would
give false evidence of this kind
Whatever may be said by General
Eagan and the contractors who sup-
piled the beef to the army, if it is
true that any chemically treated
beef was found among that furnish
ed the troops, General Miles stands
vindicated.
There are powerful interestswhich
desire to make ii appear that the
supplies were good. The men who
control these interests fear that the
reputation of American beef-pack-
ing concerns will be hurt among
military men in other countries and
that thus the sale of their products
will be crippled. But the reputa-
tion of beef supplied to armies
should be protected by invariably
furnishing good material instead of
by trying to avoid the consequence
of errors.
1t is probable that the admins
tration will try to throw as much
blame IS possible on General Miles,
for in the antagonism between Miles
and Alger, the sympathies of Presi-
dent MCKINLEY are clearly with the
secretary. But General Miles has
the sympathy of the general public,
and in the end that willprove to bethe
more effective of the two.

ELECTlNG UNITED
STATES SENATORS

The ever recurring scandals con-
nected with the election of United
States senators make change in
the existing mode Of election more
than desirable. To effectively put
stop TO the corruption now preva-
lent the election should lie taken
out of the hands Of the Legislature
and returned to the people where it
properly belongs. Less danger is to
be aprrehended when the matter is
left to the electors, as majority Of
the people cannot as readily be in
fluenced as a majority in lcgisla-
tive party caucus.
TO illustrate how tie election Of
d senator is managed under the pres
cnt system we will take, our own
Legislature as an example. It is
composed of 100 members. Let us
suppose that the majority party in
it has fifty-four votes at its com.
niand, three mose than would.bc re-
quired to elect a senator. These
fiAy.four members hold a casicus to
nominate the person tobe votsd for.

twchty,cight votes, will decide the

in an election Of senator conduct
ed in this manner. Various at
tempts have been made to change
this way of electing senator, but
nothing can be done which will have
legal and binding effect until the
constitution of the United States is
changed. Section 8 of article I of
that instrument provides that SEN
ators shall be elected by the state
legislatures. 1t has been suggested
that the state constitutions might
be amended SO as to direct the leg
islature to elect such person as may
have received in previous election
majority of votes for the office.
That might do if it would not give
rise to continued squabbles. The
surest and safest way lies in an

YOUNG GIRL A BURGLAR.

of Goods In Chicago.

Minnie Mtlbrant Steals $2,OOO Worth
of Goods In Chicago.
CHICAGO. Dec. 11.-Minnie Milbrant, a
seventeen-year-old girl, has accomplished
a piece Of work in the burglary line
which would reflect credit on the most ex-
pert cracksman. Entering the home of
Louis Haller 1906 Dunning Street, last
night, she carried off money, securities,
and clothing of the value of $4,000. She
would never have been suspected had not
a tell-tale footprint of a woman's shoe
confronted the detectives when they ex-
amined the window through which the girl
had forced her way.
Minnie formerly worked for the Haller
family, and knew the premises. Cutting
through blind on a window, five feet
from the ground, she forced the window
with a piece Of iron.
In her confession, she says she was in
the house thirty minutes. She entered the
room where Haller and his wife were
sleeping, and took SAT from his pockets.
In tin box In the library she found $50.
and $500 in bonds and notes.
Detectives believed the job the work of
experienced burglars. until they discov-
cred the imprints Of a woman's shoe in the
soft soil beneath the window. Even then
they could scarcely believe a girl Just
out Of short dresses. could do such des-
perate work. They arrested her in Mrs.
Haller's finery. IT wanted money" SIZE
said. "and could find no other way of
getting it"
