Senator Rawlins explains his reference to
General Chaffee. The term bastard viii
lain was qualified by an 'if and an IN
terrogation point. But the explanation will
hardly command the attention of the Amer
lean commander in the Philippines. He has
of course ordered no barbarities. no infa-
mics He approves of none. He has en-
couraged a vigorous prosecution of the war
in warlike fashion, and has probably re-
joiced that the Filipinos have lost more in
killed and wounded than the Americans.
He is shirlSing no responsibility for that, and
on the ground, where his deeds are known
and his daily life is under intimate OBJ
servation. he has the admiration and ap-
proval of his countrymen. in uniform and
out. No ifs. butts, ands. or Interrogation
points cloud his fame at Manila.
Now. in the case of General Smith he has
been tried and condemned In many quar-
ters without a hearing. The order which
has brought him before court martial is
upon its face, as Senator Lodge on yester-
day declared, revolving. But as yet we
know nothing of its history. We do not
know whether it was verbal or written
whether 1t was the hot exclamation OF
commander after listening to accounts of
appalling atrocities committed by the enc

If General Smith, in cold blood, issued In
regular form binding order requiring that
Samar be made a bowling wilderness and
that all males over ten years be killed,
nothing can. or should save him. His fate
is sealed. But let it be noted in his favor,
and remembered until his side of the case

"Lest We Forget. "
From the Chicago Tribune.

TOM the Chicago Tribune. t'&..lN
By the end of next month the city of
Washington will have a statue of Jean
Baptiste Rochambeau. When that statue
is unveiled the American nation, acting
through its government will be present to
acknowledge its obligations to the gallant
French general and to pay part Of it's debt
OF gratitude. It Is most commendable
characteristic of the people of this country
tina. they have always been willing to ac-
knowledge such obligations and to pay such
debts to the last farthing. Seldom does
one hear any attempt to depreciate the
services Of those Europeans, aliens by
blood but kindred by sentiment. who fought
shoulder to shoulder with the continen-
tails. Steuben. Kosciusko, De Kalb, Lafay-
cite, Rochambeau. and the rest of that

A Virtuoso.

1t amt the song of birds as makes me feel
that spring is here,
Nor yet the flow of brooklets falln' softly
on the ear;
1t amt the leafy rustic as the wind goes
wanderin' by,
Nor yet the blossoms springin' up to cheer
the weary eye.
l don't feel sure that chilly blasts have
gone away to stay
Till the calli-ope performer gifts UP steam
and starts to play.
There's the man that suits me proper: for
there's no one kin deny
He does a lot o. things that Paderewski
dassnt try.
He's got to play them classic tunes with
all his heart and soul,
An likewise watch the safety valve an
shovel in the coal.
I feel that real genius has at last come
round this way
When the calli-ope performer gifts up steam
an starts to play.

Beef Not Necessary.
From the Indianapolis News.


The high price of beef affords a fine op-
portunity to expound the food value of
various edibles. The good to be done Is
not decreased by the fact that it may be
making virtue of necessity. Good authori-
ty is pretty well agreed that as a rule we
eat too much meat. With all our variety
of choice we tend to confine our diet to q
dull round of which the chief ingredients
are beef and potatoes. We eat too little
fish, for example We eat less of fowl par
ticularly of ducks, while outside of the Ger
man population goose Is almost an un-
known bird. Two of the grains that stand
in the front rank of foods, rice and hon1i-
ny. are all too much neglected. The for
mer Is as easily prepared for the table as
tea almost, and Is most nourishing, supply
ing the elements necessary for strength in
wonderful degree. But too often people
do not know and will not learn how to cook
1t properly. Most Americans boil it ad nbi-
tum until the starch runs and it Is not fit
for anything

The Beef Conspiracy,
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune
In spite of all denials the Attorney Gen.
eral Of the United States seems to be con-
vinced that there Is an illegal combina-
tion to raise the prices of meats and pro-
ceedings have been taken In the courts to
get at the inside facts. This action on
the part of this federal department should
be sufficient in itself to make ridiculous the
assertions of the men who have been vio-
lating the statutes. Schemers who enter
into such combinations never hesitate to
deny that they have done anything Of the
sort. But the masses of the American peo-
rle are consumers In one way and another.
And the feeling that there has been a con-
spIracy to raise the prices of meats has
spread like wild-fire from the Atlantic to

gle session, the readjustment Is effected.
Those who advocate the change of the in
auguratfon date, however, are nots con-
cerned as to the adoption of either of these
expedients. urging action upon one or an
other of them only In recognition of the
inclination Of the judiciary committee Of
the House to utilize the Hoar resolution as
a vehicle for the solution of all the pending
chronological problems. AS far as the Dis
trict is concerned, it would be glad to
have the Hoar resolution pressed forward
squarely on its own merits, knowing that
the national sentiment in favor of change
of the inaugural date is overwhelming.
But If it's association with any other propo-
sition looking to the correction of the mis-
takes in the congressional calendar will
strengthen its chance of passage, that COM
bination will be welcomed, in whatever
form it appears
