While the Beef Trust does as II
pleases In Chicago, some Of the East-
ern States are setting Il good example
by the way they get after bad meat
dealers. us the following dispatch
proves:
Burlington, w.. March 1.-The
Consolidated Rendering Company OF
Boston, which owns aud operates the
Burlington Rendering COmpany's
plant In this city, pleaded guilty In
the Chittenden county court to-day to
four indictments charging selling anu
having In its possession diseased meat
and was fined $1,000 and costs. The
indictments contained 400 counts, to
81 Of which the company pleaded
guilty. The remaining counts, tOgeth-
or with indictments on similar
charges returned by the grand jury
against l.. Il. Brigham. manager of
the Burlington plant, will be quasheti
upon the payment Of the fines i'm
posed to-day.
Judge A. 4. Hall In imposing the
fines said that he was In favor Of a
vigorous enforcement Of all the pure
food laws, but he realized that the ex.
pense to the State Of trying these cases
would have been very large and there
fore he took into consideration the fact
that the company pleaded guilty.
There Ia nothing In the new meat
law requiring mlcrOscopical examina
ton of pork for trlchina and the pack
ers are correspondinely happy.

Not at All Feminine.

An amusing story. Illustrative of
French ideas of chivalry is told OF
Prof. A. Guvor Cameron. of Prince
ton. who for several years was
professor of French at Yale While
in New Haven, Prof. Cameron was
very much annoyed one night by the
presence of bat IN his room, and
appealed to his landlady for assist
ance.
After climbing on several chai~s,
and chasing the bat about the room
for some time, the woman finally sue
ceeded in bringing it to the floor with
tennis racket, and killed it.
Telling some friends of the Incl
dent afterward. Prof Cameron de-
scribed the chase. and then ad -ei
condescendingly of course it was
very good OF Miss -, and al
preciate her kindness, bat really it
as not at all feminine"

ONE FOR THE MINISTER.
Boston Divine Decidedly Scored On
WouId-ee Joker.

A good story is told Of the Rev
Humphrey Moore, for many years a
Congregational minister in Boston
who was noted for his blunt honesty
and natural wit
This characteristic was never bet.
ter illustrated than at meeting one
day OF the society with the long
name" when Rev. Mr.. Moore gave a
long address which was an eloquent
appeal for the humane treatment Of
horses and all other dumb animals.
In the audience was young minis
ter who evidently thought the vener-
able Mr. Moore had taken up too much
of the time and, thinking to have
little fun with his venerable associate.
said that he thought the poor over
worked horse would neigh his praise
and every iackass bray his approval"
AT this point the Rev. Ny. Moore in
terrupted with the remark that he eX-
pected they would. but did not think
the: would begin Sc soon.
The roars Of laughter which follow
ed the sally were not Quilted for some
time.

The Case of Koehler.

One may not fully understand the im-
portance of the Executive disapprovai Of
the court-martiai proceedings. findings,
and acquittal in fhe case of Capt. L. NJ
Koehler. Fourth Cavalry. without an ap-
probation of how far this case had pene-
trated into the military establishment,
and 10 what extent it has involved per-
sons of exalted, medium, and subordinate
positions. 1t is not too much TO say that
army officers, especially those on duty in
the Philippines, have been brought 10 the
verge of personal issue in justifying for
themselves and in insisting upon others
the position to be taken for or against
Mai Gen. Leonard Wood. Since this cele-
brated case first began to annoy the milf
tary authorities in Washington, the prin-
cipal figures. Gen. Wood and Mai. Scott,
have become. respectively. commanding
general Of the Philippine division and the
superintendent OF the Military Academy.
added 10 which interesting circumstances
are the facts that Gen. Wood was the
logical candidate for a lieutenant gem
eralcy had the grade escaped extinction.
which win happen on the retirement Of
Gen. Macarthur, while Major colonel,
by virtue of the Military Academy billet
Scott. is in a receptive attitude for ap-
pointment as a brigadier general backed
by the warm Endorsement and hearty ap-
peal of Gen. Wood
The civilian visibility will be excited by
the conclusions of the obstreperous court
martial detailed by the President, which
so cOntrived its findings as 10 compel the
President of the United States 10 set
aside the entire case, or order his intimate
companion and former commanding ofi-
Ger. Gen. Leonard Wood, TO trial by
military court. The case is said 10 be
unique in the combination of circum-
stances which places the head of the
government in position of extreme en-
barrassment narrowly escaping the Tidicu-
Ious. OF course, there was the oppor-
tunity of the President to slap the court.
and this was done in characteristic
fashion in the Executive Endorsement
placed upon the War Department COM
ment by referring 10 the poor showing
made by the court which last passed on
the case"
The case of Koehler has dragged along
with more or less exhibition of acrimony
and an exhibition of insubordination for
a long time. 1t has been a demoraiizing
incident, or series of incidents. and as
nothing is to be accomplished by con-

Koehler and his friends will be satisfied

Juror Steele. for instance, a contracting

losses through inability to attend to busi-
ness at $i5,0o0. Juror Harney has lost
several thousand dollars in commissions

These men are drafted into the public
service virtually without pay. and their
pecuniary losses mean to all intents and
purposes just so much confiscation OF
their property. They must give their
property as we'll as their services, and
bear personally large share Of the cost
of a public prosecution. II certainly

Of the public good and menace 10 pepu-
lar rights. His Vaccinations have in
volved cur statutes in an amazing tansie
|of contradictions and have corrupted pop
ular government at its source. We do not
mean to say that the citizen should be de-
barred from assisting by advice and coun-
sci the legislators TO a proper understand
ing OF conditions affecting which legisla-
ton is proposed. But the line can be
easily and clearly drawn between the eiti-
zen who thus proffers his services and
the hired lobbyist.
The law of Wisconsin on this subject
seems to be the best yet devised. Under
its provisions. every person who asks the
privilege of appearing before committees
Of the legislature at Madison or Of en-
tightening individual members OF the leg
islature upon any subject of legislation
must first register in book kept BY a
designated officer Of the State. stating
specifically the object of his visit to the
capital. the probable length of his stay,
&c. Fines and penalties are attached for
a violation in any detail Of the privileges
which then are freely accorded him. II
other States should follow Wisconsin S
example in this regard. we believe the
country would in time have fewer but
palmer and less equiyocal statutes, and
that better dispensation Of justice all
around would ensue.
