SECREEA.RY OF VAR.

By placing Alger at the head of
the War Department, Major Nc
Kinley gives the country a better
guarantee of peace and arbitration
than would be offered by a thous-
and treaties. 1t is notice to the
world that we will not fight.
1t is shown from the records
that General Alger's military con-
duct was thoroughly displeasisg
to those gallant and emin emit sold
iers, Custer, Sheridan and Merritt,
who were the superior officers of
the then Colonel Alger in the late
war. Colonel Alger showed an ir-
resistible disposition to disobey
orders and tc absent himself from
the field of battle. When not on
the sick list, his chosen field of
activity was Washington City,
where he could be free from the
annoyance of flying bullets: So
confirmed became the habit OF
seeking retired places to do his
duty that Colonel Alger's superiors
agreed in a recommendation that
he be subjected to severe discip-
line.
At the present time public eenti-
ment is overwhelmingly in favor
of peace and arbitration. Treaties
to do away with wal are actually
becoming fad among the nations,
and the United States are leading
the peace fAddists. What could
he more appropriate than a Secre.
tary of War who is SO addicted tc
peace that he cannot bear the sight
of battlefield or the sound of 9
gun?
Major Mckinley appears to have
done a singularly clever thing in
picking out General Alger for the
war portfolio. Generals Custer
Sheridan and Merritt we're fighters
and hence their condemnation oil
General Alger is the strongest pos,
sible recommendation for the Sec.
retaryship Of War at time wher
everybody wants peace.
