The Senate Must Act.

The story of a panic in Congress; that
the republicans are confronted by propo-
sitiOn to abandon the Cuban and the Phil
ippine bills or remain in session all sum-
nIer is 'fshy'' in the extreme. The prop
osition if presented would probably not
cause a moments debate. Why should it?
This is the long session of Congress. and
no time limit attaches. No adjournment
would be justified with only the personal
fortunes of members seeking reelection to
explain it. While important public ques-
tions remain undisposed of it is the duty
of Congress to continue the sitting. De-
cember the 1st ought to find the doors still
open if obstruction is adopted as the policy
of the minority.
But why should not the next two months.
or three at the outside. witness the compile
tinn of the majority's task? The Cuban bill
should be reported at once. The Senate has
its answer to the resolution respecting the
sugar trust The president of the trust
states under oath that the trust does not
control the existing crop of Cuban sugar,
and is not engineering the proposed cut of
30 per cent on the customs duty. Is 1t. OBJ
jected that this is not sufficient? What is
to be done then but call every Cuban
planter to Washington and have him file
under oath an inventory of his belongings?
Does Mr.. Teller propose that? Would not
that give away" the senator's case. and
present him in the light of obstruc-
zionist pure and simple? And, anyhow,
upon what but an unsupported charge was
the inquiry demanded and granted?
The Philippine bill. it is plain enough, is
not to be examined at any great length
upon it's merits. But the majority, never
theless. should press it upon its merits. 1t
embraces the duty of this government to-
ward the Filipino people in the present
state of the case. Even the scuttlers de-
mand less of the military and more of the
civil authority while we remain in the
islands. And this bill is expressly designed
to bring about that result. The measure
therefore has much to recommend it to both
sides of the chamber: and if the minority
chooses to consume time in abuse Of the
army. and in apologies to Weyler for its
former animadversions on the subject of his
course in Cuba. let it do SO. and let the
majority still hold the fort.
There should be no running away from
a plain duty. Neither the Cuban bill nor
the Philippine bill is political N it's nature
except by the decree of a very difficult
situation. The responsibility is with the
republicans. and they must fight it out on
existing lines if 1t takes all summer, and

The Beef Trust and It's Victims

with the meat consumption falling off by
one-third. 1t would seem that the prices
OF meat would fall in somewhat like pro-
portion. But there has been so little change
in the retail market since the public indis-
nation against the trust was thoroughly
aroused that 1t Is necessary to look for
the reason OF the phenomenon of a re-
fusal of the market to respond to the law
OF supply and demand Between the beef
trust and the consumer stand the retailers
The organization of the trust has reduced
the number of middIemen TO a minimum
and the trust now sells directly to the re-
tailers through its own agents. The trust
is able. by virtue of enormous refrjgerators
to keep the supply of dressed meats intact
for long period. many months under nor
NAL circumstances Indeed. theoretically
there is no limit to the length of time which
beef can be kept frozen and yet be fit for
consumption when removed to the cutting

With great supplies of dressed meats in
these warehouses. therefore, the trust is
able. unless disturbed by the courts. to

compensation for the added cost of their
keep during the next six months. So that
on the live supply end of the deal the trust
will not lose. for when the normal buying
is resumed it can dictate its own prices as
1t does now, and can disregard. save per-
haps for the purpose of further rise in
the retail price. the additional cost to the
cattle raiser of marketing the steers
AT the retail-end the trust. by means Of
the refrigerators, can throw the burden
of the loss in trade chiefly upon the small
butchers and grocers of the cities who
must buy from it and with whom the meat
sales constitute a very large proportion
of the trade The trust to be sure tenn
porarily suffers in trade. It's income is
diminished in proportion as the demand
decreases. But it's capital is so large, its
resources so vast, that it can complacently
wait for the change, while the small dealers
are being forced into bankruptcy and ruin.
If the trust had refrigerators and
could not control the live stock market it
would be in a position to feel the loss of
the retail trade 1t would be forced on
the one hand to sell its stock to prevent it's
waste, and on the other to buy at the farm
er's own prices to prevent the sales of the
live stock to the retail trade through other
agencies. But, being able to dictate it's
own prices at any time through it's highly
organized buying system in the west, 1t can
disregard the possibility of an over-supply
of beeves. 1t has demonstrated in this
crisis that it can take double or even a
treble profit out OF dollars addition to the
cost of a live steer by eXtortionateiy add
ing to the retail price of the dressed meats.
So if the market should later fall. and it
still controls the live stock market, it can
with equal ease take care that its proper
tion of profits shall not be lessened even
with the price of steers falling by So or 81
head.
The remedy for this dilemma is to grasp
it literally by both horns. While the public
is educating itself up to the point of par
tial abstention from meat food the govern
ment is seeking the legal means of dissolv
ing the trust. The public will thus demon
strate that the trust cannot control the ap-
petite of the people, while the machinery of
the law is smashing the corner ip the live
stock And with the consumer and the
government in this fight stand the retailer
and the cattle raiser a formidable combina-
tion before which even the most powerful
of trusts might we'll quake.

Bret Harte.

Bret Harte. whose death is reported to-
day, has lived so long away from the
United States that he had ceased to be
regarded as an American citizen of this
generation. Yet he had continued to write
of American life, in his characteristic style
and with much of his old-time strength
He was the painter of the rougher scenes
of frontier life the laureate of the mining
camp. A tender pathetic strain ran
through his work. and his depictions Of
chid-life in the midst of the coarseness
and dangers of the camp were occasionally
OF enduring quality At one time Harte
was writing of the west of his own knowl-
edge. the west Of the period. But while
he continued to train his pen upon the
same ranges of hills with the same char
acters peopling them. those hills and those
people changed. A great civilization sue
ceeded the roughness Of the frontierman's .
bravado and swagger and the camp life.
So in time Harte's tales became reminis-

The Army Under Fire.

Tardily but effectively the republican
leaders have come to the front In defense
of the American army. They are awaken
ing to the fact that the maligners of the
soldier must be answered, that even though
the public may understand the cruelty of
the ISLANDERS heaped upon the men in khaki
and may repudiate the abuse of the mill
tary service. a decent regard for the ac-
curacy of the printed record demands some
measure and form of reply.
Yesterday Senator Lodge essayed the
task of meeting the indiscriminate charges
flung at the soldiers in the field. He did
not attempt to condone the wrongs that
have been done to inoffensive people. He
made no defense Of cruelties for which
there is no possible excuse in even military
necessity. But he asked for at least calm
Judgment upon all the known facts even
in such cases.
A distinction is to be drawn between the
soldiers in the ranks and their commanders
in this matter of alleged cruelty, and Mr..
Lodge aptly put the case by turning back
upon the critics the assertion that they
have chosen of late to condemn men in
command while palliatng the offenses of
their suboTdinates. The enlisted soldiers
have votes. he said. and the officers have
abuse upon the men at the top, who cannot
strike back In self-defense. Those men de-
serve no such condemnation as has been
unsparingly meted out to them by their
self-appointed judges, thousands of miles
away from the scenes. Gen. Chaffee after
taking his first lessons In savagery in
China succeeded to the command in the
Philippines. and. according to his malign-
ers, began at once policy of blood thirsty
oppression But that officer is entitled to
some consideration. even though he wit
messed certain abOminable scenes between
the Sea and Pekin. He has not ravaged the
Philippines He has furthered the work of
establishing peace. He has conducted him.
self as n American officer should and as
such an officer usually does when placed
In a responsible position. Senator Lodges
defense of that officer was in terms calcu-
lated to check the flow of bitter denuncia-
ton from the lips of those who take par
tial view Of the case, and, forgetting the
limitations OF human nature. forgetting the
exigencies Of war among barbarous peo-
pie. forgetting the lack of detailed informa-
ton upon which to base Judgment. for
getting their own patriotic duty. remember
only their inordinate desire for partisan
advantage.

Rally Round the Flag.

From the Philadelphia Press.
THE flag will stay" The United States
is in the Philippines. There this country
will remain. Its work will be completed.
Peace, order and civilization are not to be
postponed by the resistance of a semi-sav-
age population. The Indian was not al
lowed to prevent the Introduction of order
because he preferred his tribal system and
a low level of society Neither will the
Tagal or Visayan, the Vicol or Moro. What
the United States has begun the United
States will complete. The work has it's
peril. So had Indian fighting. Savagery
breeds savagery. Massacre brings reprisal.
Torture cruelty, the assassination of one s
comrades always and everywhere are liable
to lend to like practices In men, usually
merciful and who in cililized warfare would
have maintained its rules. This was true
in Indian warfare. 1t has proved true in
the Philippines.

From the broad standpoint of the public

energy infused by President Roosevelt into
Attorney General Knox's action against
the Northern Securities railroad merger
and the beef trust is due to political calcu-
lations for 1904 or not. The fact of large
practical moment is that the President has
moved against two great combinations in
restraint of competitive commerce under
federal statutes that make such combina-
tlons unlawful and provide for their sup
