General Alger has given some valu
able information concerning army ra
tions Many had believed that em
balmed beef as a ration was a compar
atively recent thing and from Mr
Algers article it would appear that
those prominent iu army life were not
altogether correctly informed ou the
matter General Alger in administer
ing a rebuke said An examination
of the records of tho war department or
inquiry of the commissiouary geueral
would have speedily developed the fact
that ennned fresh beef or as it is
known canned roast beef had been a
recognized part of tho army ration for
nearly a quarter of a century If Gen
eral Miles did not know that canned
fresh beef was a part of the army ration
then he displayed an iguornnce in an
important matter of his profession that
is to say the least most remarkable if
ho did know that canned fresh beef was
n recognized part of the ration then his
allegation to the contrary is so mnch
more reprehensible On the 1st of
August 1878 canned fresh beef first be
came a part of the travel ration of tho
United States army then under tho
command of General Sherman nnd
while tho Honorable Geo W McCrary

The vote in the legislature on United
States senator yesterday did not clear
the air a little bit and the question of
final choice seems to bo as dcop and
profound as at nny time before The
only candidato with any apparent
strength on the start seems to be
Thomppon for the short term He is
clearly in the lead of other aspirants
hut lacks considerable of enough votes
for election For the long term Meikle
John has a good lead in the house bnt is
third man iu tho seunte Frieuds of
Rosowater are somewhat disappointed
in his showing of strength he being ap
parently third in tho race for the long
term The vote makes it painfully ap
parent that there is no agreement either
between the coudidates or the legisla
tors and that the result is distant with
every evidence of a long aud bitter fight
The many friends of Hon John R Hays
of this oity will be gratified to know
that he is considered in the race and
that while his support on the first bal
lot is small he is ropresontod by a unm
oor of friends and in a position to gather
iu a vote if no agreement should be
reaohed by the avowed leaders Con
sidering tho fact thnt no fight has been
made by Mr Hays or his friends nnd
that ho hns uover been a candidate in
in nuy Bense of the word they have
every reason to be pleased with yester
