Secretary Gage has shown his unfitness
for the high office to which he was
chosen. His career in the office of secre-
tary Of the treasury proves beyond all
uestion that the provision, which denies
60 an importing merchant the privilege
of serving in that capacity, and which
was found sufficient to bar the late A. T.
Stewart, might well be extended to all
who are professionally engaged in the
banking business
The scandal attaching to Cages hand
ling of the national funds would
have been sufficient to work the
ruin of any man not so power
fully backed in business and polit-
cal life. There can be no doubt
whatever on the record as it has been
made up that he so administered the
finances Of the government in at least
one particular instance, as to give an
undue advantage to favored banks and
bankers closely allied with himself in
business, and that he allowed party
political considerations to control him in
the doing of official acts which would
have remained undone, or would have
been done with more advantage to the
department. of which he was the head
had he been more scrupulous and less
devoted in his character of Republican
politician.
1t was possible to cover up the ques-
tionable transactions mentioned, because
they were revealed on the eve of a presi-
Dental contest and their revelation could
easily be misrepresented as the product
of partisan bitterness on the part of Sec
rotary Cages political enemies. But the
promptitude with which certain of the
evils complained of found a remedy at
the hands of Secretary Gage after their
exposure had been made, adds to the con-
viction of the culpability Of the head of
the treasury department.
1t will at least go far toward saving the
country from a repetition of official
scandal in that department should the
president, in his naming Mr. Cages sue
cessor, avoid making his selection from
among any class of citizens whatever
whose occupations bring them into i'm

treasury department.

more than a possibility of its bringing

But from no point Of view whatever can
the congress be regarded as more than
more or less interesting expression of
the sense of national and racial back

1t was at wedding that Bismarck first

when he sat down and wrote to her par

appearance. On his arrival the parents

polite and formal welcome; but Bis

the parents, he threw his arms around

THE ADVANCE IN MEAT.

The wholesale and retail meat bust
ness has suffered the greatest transfor-
nation during the past ten or fifteen
years that has befallen any branch of
trade. The change which has been
wrought in the conditions attending the
business has been more apparent than
IN any other line of industry. Whereas
IN the past each individual butcher in
the large Giles bought his supplies either
from wholesale dealers or the farmer.
and did his own Strengthening, today it
has become impossible for all but a few
retail butchers to obtain their supplies,
save from the large dressed meat con-
Germs
1ne trade is now absolutely in the
hands of the large meat concerns, and
the retail dealer buys his meat already
slaughtered and at such rates as are
dictated by the meat trust. 1t is this
condition in which we find the explana-
ON of the remarkable incident that
within the past forty-eight hours an adj
didonal cost per pound has been added
- the wholesale price of meat by the
Chicago packers.
For a year and q half past or over
consumers of meat have been obliged to
pay whatever prices the trust thought
proper to exact. The Spanish war
was made the preteXt on which the prices
were raised to any extent, which the
Chicago concerns thought proper to Gic-
tate. Today there is 20 pretext what
ever offered for the advance. It is NOM
inally but cent a pound, but it might
have been ? or cents if the packers
cho1e. And the consumer would be as
wholly without remedy in the one case
as the other
1t may well be said that the changed
conditions which prevail in the retail
meat business will ultimately operate tc
the benefit of the consumers. They have
net so operated thus far On the con.
trary they have materially increased the
prices Of one Of the chief necessaries OF
life, and they have destroyed even the
sembance of free market in meat prod
ucts
1t is not the present addition of frorr
8 cc7ts to 3 cents pound in meat tc
the consumer, in which lies the chief
cause of public dissatisfaction It is
that such an addition is made without
apparent cause and as arbitrarily as al

escorted her to g. French nunnery to
rescue her from the prosecutions of an

duels on her behalf. And this was but a
type of the chivalrous adventures which
ultimately enabled him to lead her to the
altar in April. 1913.
His second wooing was Just as persist

THE sPANIsH-AMERICAN CONGRESS

THE SPANISH-AMERICA CONGRESS
1t was hard to believe the first an
nouncements made of the proposed call
ing of Spanish-American congress. The
avowed purposes of the gathering were
such that nothing short of a foolhardy
determination to intensity race and sec
tional hatred could be regarded as eman-
ating from it's projectors.
The current press dispatches indicate
clearly that not only has the congress
been called, but that those responsible
for it propose to exploit to the limit the
feeling of race antagonisnl. Tt is to some
considerable extent the product of the
unhappy experience of Spain in the re-
cent war, and the selection of Madrid
as the place for holding the convention
but emphasizes the very foolish end
which is evidently in view.
1t is not long since a discussion was
maintained in the periodical press cons
corning the forces in operation which
worked toward the deterioration of the
Latin races. Since the days of SPANS
| greatest ruler the progress of the Latin
nations in material greatness has been
on the descending scale. Italy, the mother
of the race, is today marked more deeply
by the scars of national decadence than
perhaps any of her offspring. Her peo-

Of them who remain are oppressed and
impoverished by their chosen rulers;
their government is but little more than
the catspaw of an alliance into which it
has entered with two great Cermanic ma

cadence.
For if the labors of the congress are
abortive, the result Will be to the adj
vantage of the United States" Such is
the language of a leading Spanish publ
cation in discussing tire possible failure
of the delegates to assemble in pursuance
Of the call for the convention. This. of

A GREAT ENTERPRISE.

The effort made by the city of Chicago
to the general government of the drain
age canal recently constructed is in the
line Of the public advantage. The canal
represents a great public undertaking de-
signed for the double purpose of promot-
ing the sanitary welfare of the city Of
Chicago and establishing a waterway
connection between the great lakes and
the Mississippi river.
In order to make the project available
for the latter great purpose it is neees-
sary that the general government shall
make certain improvements In the Des-
PLANES and Illinois river. The need Of
such improvements is conceded. Unless
they are made the chief purpose of the
construction of the canal ana the one
which involves a splendid advantage to
the commerce of the entire country, will
fail of accomplishment.
The projected connection between the
head of the lakes and the Mississippi
within the limits of the state has never
come to head. 1t is at least doubtful
whether it ever viii. The connection is
now established at a point which dis
poses of all question as to navlgability
after the federal government has made
the improvements called for
1t is not possible to overestmate the
tremendous Importance to the carrying
commerce of the Northwest of the entire
completion of the grand enterprise sue
cessfully carried to an issue by Chicago
in it's relation to the needs of that COM
munity. The South IS thereby brought
into the most complete water connection
with the great Northwest. Virtually
new market is thereby opened to South
ern products by the cheapening of the
cost Of carriage which will thereby be
accomplished. The distances which sep
arates the wheat fields and the cotton
fields is thereby materially lessened, and
both sections are substantially benefited
Every section of the country will join
in the demand that the general govern
ment shall at the earliest available mo-
ment engage itself in the task of so i'm
proving the beds of the Desplaines and
Illinois rivers so as to be capable at last
of accommodating vessels of as great
draft as may now pass through the
drainage canal.
