MORE TRorBLE FOR GEN. MILES.


1t seems impossible for Gen. Miles to
l,eep out of trouble with the War De-
partment. 1t is said that he was
summoned to Washington by the Pres.
ident to answer the charge of furnish
ing Senator Culberson of Texas with
Lieut.. Arnold is involved. He was at
Fort Riley making a test Of guns.
1t will be recalled that the scandal
in question was mentioned in the SEN
ate by Senator Culberson, and that
Senator Beveridge inquired of him
where he got his information. There was
a quite sharp colloquy between the two
senators. Senator Beverage practically
charged that the information was fur
nished by Gen. Miles. Senator Culber-
son stated that as far as he knew
Gen. Miles neither directly or Indirect
ly furnished it.
1t looks, however, as if the War De-
partment is not satisfied that Gen.
Miles did not furnish it, and that I'M
less he shows satisfactorily that he did
not he will be courtmartialed.
Gen. Miles was interviewed at Kan
sas City, while on his way to Washing
ton, in regard to the matter, and said
that Senator Culberson seemed to have
given as full an answer 70 the charge
against him as any one could desire.
The inference is, however, that the
War Department is not fully satisfied
int dc 70
1t hardly seems probable that Gen.
Miles could have been guilty of such
an act of INSTRUMENTATION. He is the
head of the army, and would not over
look such an act of insubornation in
a subordinate. He could not expect
hat an offense of so grave charac-
ter committed by him would be over
locked, especially as he had been warn
ed against giving out information of
the kind in question.
There is not the best of feeling be-
tween Gen. Miles and the War De-
partment. In fact, the President, if re-
ports are to be credited has seriously
considered the ACCESSIBILITY of retiring
him, though he will not reach the re-
firing age until a year from August
1t is probable that if Gen. Miles was
recalled to Washington in connection
with the Culberson-Be veridge matter
and the administration has evidence
that he furnished the information
which Senator Culberson made public
in the Senate, he will be court martial
ed. In that event no leniency would
be shown him. The administration
would like to get rid of him.

The Dawn of Peace,

Put off, put off your mail, o kings,
And beat your brands to dust!
Your hands must learn a surer grasp.
Your hearts a better trust.
oh, bend aback the lance's point,
And break the helmet bar:
noise is in the morning wind,
But not the note of war.
Upon the grassy mountain paths
The gittering hosts Increase
They come! They come! How fair
their feet
They come who publish peace.
And victory. fair victory.
our enemies are ours
For all the clouds are clasped in light.
And all the earth with flowers.
Aye. still depressed and dim with dew,
But wait o little while.
And with the deathless. radiant rose
The wilderness shall smile.
And every tender. living thing
Shall feed by streams Of rest
Nor lamb shall from the flock be lost.
Nor nurseling from the nest.

CURES OF THE TRUST EVIL.

IeHeuleS LOT lue trust evil are De-
ing offered all the time, but as yet no
one of them seems TO make much of an
impression on the public mind. The
other day at a dinner of the Illinois
Manufacturers Association in Chicago,
Mr.. James j. Hill, president of the
Great Northern Railway. said in the
course of a speech that it always SEEM
ed to him that the government had it
in it's power to check trusts if it wanted
TO do so. The following is an extract
from his remarks:
Under the constitutional provision
allowing Congress to regulate COM
merce between the states, all compa-
MES desiring to transact business out
side of the state in which they are in
corporated, should be held to a uniform
provision of federal law.
They should satisfy a commission
that their capital stock was actually
paid up in cash or in property at a
fair valuation. just as the capital of
the national bank is certified to be
paid up.
With that simple law the temptation
to make companies for the purpose of
selling prospective profits would be at
an end; at the same time no legitimate
business would suffer-
There seems to be a good deal of
common sense in this method of dealing
with trusts. but what is to be done
with those trusts already formed and
which are now endeavoring to make
dividends on a. capitalization that is
twice or three times the actual cost of
the trusts property? And would the
remed" which Mr.. Hill proposes pre-
vent a trust, formed in accordance with
his plan prevent it from charging all
it could get for it's products? These
are questions which Mr.. Hill does not
seem to have answered in his speech.
Another remedy is proposed by Mr..
Henry Nicholson, the vice president of
the American Forestry Association, in
an article in the June number of the
North American Review. His remedy
is government ownership and control of
Railways. He says that the only ade-
quate method of curbng trusts is
equal and open rates" of transporta-
ton.
There is no doubt that equal and open
ApNNS VI u eAAASpOA WOulQ take
away from trusts one of their greatest
supports, but to accomplish the end
aimed at it would be necessary to Sc
cure equal and open rates in some other
way than by government ownership.
What would be the situation in Con-
gress if that body owned and managed
the railroads? The government would
of course have to build new roads when
wanted and make improvements when
needed. 1t is now a subject of COM
plant that the river and harbor bill
and the public buildings bill are the
products of log rolling. If Congress
had the building of the railroads every
hamlet and every county in the coun-
try would want a railroad, and the men
who could do the most in the way of
log-rolling for new railroads and the
building of new depots would be sent
to Congress.
Mr.. Hill's plan is greatly to be pre-
ferred to that of Mr.. Nicholson. 1t
would be sorry day for the country
that witnessed the passing of the rail-
roads into the hands of the general
government.

Senator Hanna sees all corners at his
house every afternoon between 5 and
6 o'clock, says the Philadelphia North
American. On Saturday a prosperous
looking man was there with a bundle
of papers under his arm. He had a
scheme he wanted the senator to invest
in.
IF you will put in $5O,OOO" he said
to the senator, Il will guarantee you
$50 per cent. profit in 30 days"
"I'll do it," said the senator.
The promoter rubbed his hands in
glee.

asked.

I'll give you draft for $4,000, paya-
bic in 80 days, and at the end of that
time you can send me the balance of
the money"

required of the President of the United

of the Cuban republic may consider
himself well paid. At any rate, it beats
school teaching all to pieces"
The New York World (Dem.) says:
THE platform adopted by the Indiana
Democrats ignores all past platforms
and side-tracks dead issues. Its lead
ing declarations are against the trusts
and their prolific parents, the Dingley
tariff schedules. 1t also denounces the
Philippine policy which has embroiled
the republic in an unnecessary war and
sacrificed the lives of many of its no
blest sons The Indiana Democracy
has set fine example by thus facing

A customs officer at New York some
time ago ruled that a hand organ was
a tool of trade" and not a musical In
strument. The board of classification
of the customs service has now decided
that a swan is a bird and not a fowl
or poultry, under the Dingley tariff act.
Thus is the sum of our knowledge be-
ing increased by the excellent gentle
men who, chosen to administer the GUS
toms because they can control votes,
find it to be one of their functions to
make classifications that might puzzle

Do the women of the country realize
what the trusts mean for them? If
not, let them give heed to the words of
President F. l.. Patton of Princeton
University. Il believe" said he in
Chicago the other day. that the time
is not far distant when there will not
be thing that we eat, drink or wear
that will not be made by a trust"
Even that is enough to be shocking, but
the worst is TO come. "If such is the
case went on President Patton, sit
VIII not be long until 1t will be a finan-
ciai impossibility for the average young
man to get married" Now, there are,
of course, more average young men in
the country than any other sort. It
is from their number that the great
majority of the husbands of the future
must be drawn. If these average young
men are not going TO be financially able
to get married, because of the oppres-
sion Of the trusts, what are the young
women going to de for husbands? Some
pert person may pop up and say,
They don't want EN-; they can get
along without EN-" But that isn't
true. The fact is. the women have got
to give their attention to this trust
business.

such offense as "disorderly conduct. !"
This is queer in view of the fact that

sons. The Philadelphia Ledger sug-
gests that possibly the laws of a great
many of the states do not recognize
any such offense, and says there ought
TO be an overhauiing. Disorderly con-
duct is an offense that ought to be in
