GENERAL ALGER
viii be McKinley'S Secretary Of War.
The Tender and Acceptance Made
Yesterday.

Canton. O., January 29.-"I have
been rendered and have accepted the
war portfolio.
Thus spoke General Russell A. Alger,
of Michigan. 10 the Associated Press
representative this afternoon. The
General had just emerged from the
south parlor. which is the conference
room while Mrs. Mckinley is out Of the
city. He and Major Mckinley had
Just completed the interview in which
the formal tender and acceptance
were passed.
Without saying anything more on
the subject the General turned to sew
eral callers awaiting an audience with
Major Mckinley and then re-entered
the plrlor. where he remained until
train time.
AT 4:15 he returned 10 Cleveland to
renew his conference Of the morning
with National Chairman Hanna, and
will go thence to his home in Detroit.
The Associated Press representative
saw him cgain at the station. In the
conversation there. the General said
that i'm the interview to-day the first
ovCYtures were made TO him in con-
nocUon with the cabinet, and that at
no time before to-day had Major Nc
kinney said anything directly or in
directly on the subject.
The General said yhat none of the an
poiutments of his department had been
VT disposed Of or decided upon, and
that il would be some time before any
announcements in that line could be
made.
The policy of the administration. he
sa;I. has not been considered, but even
if If had. he was too much of soldier
to announce the policy of his superiors.
He also confirmed Senator Burrows
statement that the relations between
himself and Senator sherman are en-
tirelv pleasant. and that the cabinet
associations will he harmonious and all
branches of the administrations in ac-
cord.
Cant. Fl. o. s. Heistand, of the Sew
enth Reviment o. \. c., who while on
Through. is attached to the Mckinley
household. was first in his cOngratula-
tions TO the new head of the war de-
partmene He said: You are now my
chief Allow me to congratulate you
as my superior officer.

a ballot for good government in which
they are most deeply concerned.
Nevertheless, the Democrats made
GAINS all along the line They have a
net gain of seven councilmen, and the
Republican majorities are substantially
reduced.
What the organ can find in the re-
turns TO congratulate itself and its
bosses upon. we fail to see with the
naked eye. 1t the present rate of de-
crease. at the next city election there
will be no Republican majority at all in
Wheeling. If a full vote could have
been obtained. there would not be any
thing let of it at the present writing.
All of which reminds US that for what
ever ills in the way of mismanagement
of city affairs may follow there is mo
kick coming" to those business men
and taxpayers, who did not take suf-
fcient interest in the election to vote.
If they had gone to the polls the
City Hall ring would now probably
be thing of the past. There is a
moral in this which the voters should
carefully study.

DEcL!NY OF SREEP.

One of the favorite arguments Of the
advocates of a high tariff on wool is
the decline in the number of sheep in
this country of late.
We have, time and again, pointed out
the utter fallacy of this argument and
that other causes than the absence of
high tariff were responsible for the
decline.
Now. we have word from Aus
traiia that the number of sheep is IA
pidly declining there. Yet there have
been no tariff changes in Australia to
speak of. There are other things in
this world TO swear by besides the tar
if. and while the decline in the num-
Der of sheep in the United States is
due to entirely natural causes, in Aus
tralia the principal reason of the de-
cline has been the great drought in
New South Wales and the snow storms
in New Zealand. The loss has been
mainly in New South Wales. The fol-
lowing table shows the changes in the
number of sheep for the past five years,
according to reports received by the
Bureau Of Statistics OF the Treasury
from london authorities.

raE ORGANS UTILIZATION.

One of the funny things connected
with the city election is the jubilation
of the bosses organ over The result.
1t is evident that the aforesaid bosses
were very badly scared at the outset
and were thankful to pun through by
any kind of a majority They had very
guilty. consciences and they knew that
they had won popular disapprOyal.
The very inclement weather alone, pro
badly. kept them from total defeat.
