Intimate knowledge oil the affairs
OF the department over which he
presided is rarely equalled, and
whose place it will be hard to fill
OF the many names mentioned in
connection with the vacancy, none
that we have heard would prove
more acceptable TO those who have
business with the office than that
of the able and courteous Deputy
Commissioner Col. Robert Will
Jams. His promotion would give
general satisfaction.

MIR. BAbCock,

Of Wisconsin, is urged Tor the place
on Ways and Means made vacant
by Mr.. Delivers promotion. Mr..
Babcock believes that "we should
not continue the burdens imposed
by the war Tor the purpose Of rais-
ing money to expend upon other
projects" Men who hold such
views are badly wanted in Con-
gress. We are very much afraid,
however, Mr.. Babcock's boldness
in voicing them will not help him.
We are sorry.

Decentralization In War ONCE.

Decentralization In war ONCE.
Nothing that has happened since
the Spanish war has brought into
public notice the petty jealousies,
irritating differences and small
annoying scan 1als in the War De-
partment like the French gun scan
dal. Il brings into view the undis-
puted fact that the department is
divided into hostile anS warning
factions, that there is eternal fric-
ton and trouble and that every
body appears to be engaged in at
tempts to iniure everybody else's
reputation. The mere fact that
Captain. Lewis, a young artillery
officer, inspired by loyal purpose
to improve the arm Of the serv-
ice with which ne is connected and
which he would like to see the
superior Of all the artillery forces
OF the world, offered to construct
a gun that might be useful, was
enough to bring down on his head
the spiteiul enmity oil every barna-
Gle bureaucrat who felt that his
own prestige might be endangered
by the success Of this young man.

PROSPECTS FOR BEER TAX RE
DUCTION

PROSPECTS FOR BEER TIA Y RE
DUCTION
The current has changed in
favor Of the brewers. A reduction
OF the beer tax is now more than
probable.
Two weeke ago the SENTINEL
told its friends that the Democrats
would favor reduction. We now
repeat that if the Ways and Means
Committee does not make a re.
duction in the beer tax the Demo-
Gratis will introduce bill granting
a decrease and will vote for it.
Two weeks ago we said that
enough Republican votes could
be obtained which, added to the
Democratic vote, would form
majority and would force reduc
tion. We have good reason to be
lieve that the sense Of justice for
the brewers has crystallized in a
consolidation OF those Republi-
cans who favor fair treatment for
the brewers with the view Of CO.
operating with the minority on the
lines and for the purpose proposed
by the SENTINEL two weeks ago.
We congratulate our friends on
the changed outlook which is due
primarily to the SENTINEL's activ-
ity.
The obstacle in the way is that
the Republicans may make it a
party question and thus smother
individual sense OF right and due
regard Tor promises in blind ODE
dience to the commands oi caucus.
The uniairness Of this course is
clear. The war levy was not made
a party issue. All parties voted
for it freely. Brewers paid it from
a sense Of patriotism without any
idea OF party advantage and with
out considering individual prefer.
ence or convenience. We see no
reason why repeal should not be
considered from the sar~e broad |
principles Of right and duty. No
party issue is involved in its solu-
tion and none should be allowed to
enter into it.
We have cast party politics aside
on this measure and stand shoulder
to shoulder with the brewers in
their fight Tor right and for the pre-
servation Of the business they have
built up and which has done so
much for the country's Welfare in |
peace and war.
Il is with much satisfaction we
note the promising outlook which
has resulted from the SEkTINEL's
Of the 18th ult. 1t will
be a particular pleasure if we are
e enabled to chronicle its final sue
cess. /
