The attempt of the Republicans to
get Democratic support for the Hull
row, by amending it so as to make |
any increase of the regular army above |
the Presi-|
dent, was not a success, dt made no |
real change. The Democrats proved |
by their votes for the first war appro- |
priation, that they were not afraid to |
trust the President, but that did not
change the principle of ‘the party
against the concentration of authority
in the hands of one man. Such con-|
centration does no harm as long as the |
right man exercises the authority, but
who can say when the wrong man
will come along? The change was
not made for effect in the House, |
where partisanship will put the bill
through, but in the Senate, where its
fate will be very much in doubt, un-
less the support of Senators, who are
now inclined to oppose it can be secur-
ed. The subterfuge was so palpable
that Representative Loud, of Cal.,
Republican, made a hot speech against
it, plainly telling his party associates
that they could not hope to eatch
suckers with such a bare hook.
Gen, Miles is still piling up evidence
official and unofficial, that the beef

Porto Rico, was unfit to eat. He has
already about convinced everybody,
except the members of Lhe administra.
tion, and of the War Investigating
Commission, that his charge was true,
but they seem determined (o stick to
it that the beef was good.
Becretary Alger put another slight
upon General Miles in connection
with the finding of the Eagen ocourt-
martial. The army regulations pro-
vide that the finding of a court-martial
shall be forwarded to the Secretary of
War through the commanding gener.
al of the army, but Alger instructed
the Judge Advocate to ignore Miles
and hand the finding to him directly,
and it was done. While nobody out.
side the court and officials can swear
what the verdict was, everybody is
certain that it was guilty, and that the
ley would beter be careful or he will
shield him, he will find that he
have the punishment to bear himse It. |

A Load of Hay at a Meal.
The Titusville Courier says, a farm-
er drove into town today with a good
load of bay, which he offered for sale.
He visited all his customers and many
olhers, but could get no offer, At last,
in desperation, he dreve up to a hotel
and offered the load of hay in exchange
for a dinner for himself and. feed for
his team. The hay was not needed,
but after some urging on the part of
the farmer, was taken on terms propos-
ed. The disgusted farmer drove home
with no money in his pooket—he and
his team having eaten a load of hay at
one meal.
