The violent and vit­ uperative language of Eagan, while not fpithoiit provocation, has no apology, it is deplorably gross, and aside from 1|he fact erf its being a gross breach of '»& Jflisciplrae, stigmatizes the commissary fjfeneml as anything but a gentleman. %"be president's course will be approved Jby the bent sentiment of the American ; iWTreMury statistics prove that in ime of pease the Dingley act would have provided the revenue necessary for the ixpenses of the government and thus , liave vindicated the claims of its fram- •rs. It also has been even more of a suc­ cess in reviving the industries of the na tion and in expanding its foreign com' fnerce to proportions never dreamed of Iwfore. The Dingley tariff is the most Baccessfol act of that nature ever co acted. iSFThe movement to brevet. Governor velt of New York a brigadier gen- #ral is one more expression of the esteem ^in which the gallant hero of San Juan is held by his compatriots. Mr. Bro<evelt's career in time of peace and in ' jtime of war has been a notable example •>oI a npl^uuiu American citizenship. He "baa shown the sterling ;]ualtities of a "'vigorous American manhood, and in |;whatever capacity he has been called upon to act, has conducted himself with 'admirable ability, sagacity and judgment. • JTnst Kecwroltlon, K lathe organization of the State Legis­ lature at Springfield, Hon. F. K. * , Granger, Senator from this District, has ! f, received just recognition and been - assigned to the following important : .committees: Chairman of Committee on Kevenue, and.member of Committees on , Appropriations, Corporations, State 'a , Charitable Institutions, Live Stock and •? | Dairying, License and Miscellany, Mil­ itary, Roads, Highways and Bridges, Federal Relations and Elections. Cour&ffa Our Counselor. Senator-Elect Beveridge, in addressing the Indiana Legislature on Wednesday, says the Chicago Inter Ocean, uttered words that will ring like a war cry through the middle west. He spoke eloquently not only of the expansion policy, but of the qualities moat needed in Americaneta'eemanship. That states­ manship, he said, must i be as broad as American destiny, as brave as American duty, and as masterful as the American people. Then he delivered these remark­ able n't trances: "The American people have never taken fear for a counselor. They have never taken doubt f jr a guide. They have obeyed the impulses of their blood. They have hearkened to the voice of our God They hava surmouuted insuperable ob stacles on the wines of a mighty faith; they have solved insoluble problems by the sovereign rulef of liberty; they have made the bosom Of the ocean and tf»e heart of the wilderness their home; they have subdued nature and told history a new tale. Let American statesmanship listen to the heartbeats of the American people in the present hour, and there wilt be no confusion, no hesitation, nocraven doubt. The faith of the Maj flower as it sailed into the storm-fringed horinn i? with us yet. The courage of Lexington and Banker Bill is with us yet. TV, spirit of Hamilton and Jefferson' anr! Jackson and Seward and Grant is with us yet. The unconqufrablo heart of th' pioneer still beats within American breasts, and the American flag advances still in its ceaseless and imperial pro­ gress, with law and order and,Christian civilization trooping beneath its sacred folds." rSpeaker Reed told the Illinois del­ egation, who called upon him to request the appointment of Mr. Hopkins to suc­ ceed the late Mr. Dingley as chairman of the Ways and Means Committee of the House, that he should follow the tradi­ tions of the House and g've the chairman ship to the ranking republican on the committee--Hon. Sereno E. Payne, of New York. W hile discussing the matter Mr. Reed said that he had a high appre­ ciation of the ability and judgment of Mr. Hopkins, as shown by the frequency with which he askc d him to preside over the House, but that he could not give him the chairmanship of the Ways and Means, even if Mr. Payne had no claim thereon, because Illinois already had two of the importment chairmanships--the com**nittee on Appropriations and the committee on Foreign Affairs.

I^PThe attempt to bluff the friends of the treaty into th« adoption of some sort of resolution committing this gov­ ernment against permanent retention ot the Philippines, by claiming that enough democrats will vote against ratification of the treaty to defeat it, if that is not done, is the latest move of the "aunties Like all their moves it will fail. Senator Chandler came very close to voicing the unanimous sentiment of the friends of 4? the treaty, when he SAid: "1 am against any compromise. I believe we can ratify the treaty, but if it is to be rejected, it will be rejected by democratic votes, and the democratic party will have to go on record as against peace." 'President McKinley destroyed lot of democratic ammunition whea be ordered the court-martial of CommMsary General Eagan for having used language unbecoming an officer and a gentleman concerning Gen. Miles, his superior officer, in his testimony before the War Investigating Commission There was not the slightest doubt about what the President would do in this case, although the democrats pretended to think that Eagan's conduct would be overlooked 2by the President, because Secretary Alger and Gen. Miles are not on good terms. The court-martial will assemble in Washington at once and the standing of the well-known officers who will compose it makes it certain that the vpdict will be prompt and just.

Artistic Tailor. Klfkt Kind of Boy Orator. The Hon. Albert J. Beveridge, who has just been elected a senator in Congress from Indiana, is a fine example of the success that is in the reach of every American who deserves it by working for it. Mr. Beveridge, who is on'y thirty live, was born in Ohio with a wooden spoon in his mouth. H is people moved to Illinois in the hope of finding fortune kinder. At twelve he was pegging away on a farm. At fourteen he was working on a railroad. Wr»rti no minrl - 15 •--« jvU| uuu not shirking and imagining himself to be a blighted being ruined by corporations. Graduated from the railroad, he became a teamster. At sixteen he was boss of a lumber camp. Studying in such times and with such'means as he. could get, he Allied himself for the De Pauw uni­ versity, where he worked to support himself. He overdone it a little, so h'e went west and took up cow punch, ing. Then he went to Indianapolis and studied law. He picked up a good prac­ tice easily, and now he is a United States senator at thirty-five. He ww a'boy orator at college, and he won cash prizes that he needed. But he is not a boy orator now. He has not remained a permanent boy orator. He has not devoted himself to wandering about the country, abusing a great part of tiie citizens, wiudily proclaiming that there is no chance for poor folks and making a living by speeches that go to show that you cannot make a living on account of the •'wrongs" and "oppres­ sions" of the rich. He has been a good stomp speaker, but his best«speech is his life, the resolute and strenuous labor which conquers difficulty and ill fortune. If he had spent his time in envying and denouncing the pre&perous. be would never have made himself prosperous.
