president cannot ask a secretary's
resignation the moment he suspects he
is not big enough for his job. There
are certain conventionalities hedging

Proctor Discusses the Issues of the
RUTLAND, VT, July 10.-At thanks
giving services here today, Senator
Proctor made a speech, In which he
said: I'VE are In the midst of war,
but there are things worse than war.
There are wrongs which cannot be
rfghted in any way yet devised except
by force. The American people decided
that the long continued tyranny of
Spain in Cuba must stop. The only
way to make that sure was that their
flag must leave that island, and this
war Is the result of that decision.
There were many in high places,
many men of intelligence and wealth
and business and political standing,
who asked, almost in the words of
Cain: Am my brothers keeper and
the people answered, not hastily, but
after hearing and consider ing the facts
with patience and g-suffeIing: Yes;
you are.
"Dewey's gums in Manila opened up
great questions before our nation. Ter
ritorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT was not in our
thoughts, but the events of that Sun
day devolved great responsibilities
upon us which we cannot shirk. But 1
cannot doubt that the issue will be met
as becomes a people free and enlight-
ened, and wishing all people to share
like blessings"

Wrong Man In the Right Place.

When Mr.. Mckinley, as president
elect, was picking out the gentlemen
who would form his official family, or,
possibly with more accuracy, when he
was ratifying some of Mr.. Hanna's
bargains relative to the membership,
there was no war in sight, although a
dark cloud was hanging over the
straits connecting the Gulf of Mexico
with the Atlantic ocean. But the wind
seemed set in another quarter and no
forecaSter sent out warning of a war
storm center in Cuba. So the president
o-be was not as prudent and wise in
selecting his war secretary as he per-
haps would have been had he known
that a year would hardly have gone by
before he would have war with Spain
on his hands. Perhaps it would have
made no difference anyhow. Perhaps
the war secretary's chair had been put
in hook by Mr.. Hanna to Mr.. Alger
in consideration, say, of generous
contribution to the campaign fisc from
that gentleman and his associates in
the pine land ring.
Mr.. Alger had been wanting some
thing for several years. He wanted
really went for 1t with serene a:ssur-
ance in his bigness being adequate to
the place. He did not get it, but Mr..
John Sherman is authority for the
statement that some of Ayers
Diamond Match trust perquisites went
into an investment in a job lot of
Southern delegates which Mr. Sherman
had tagged for himself. So failing in
getting a chance to sit in the high
chair, he made a dash for the lower
one and got it. Why he should have
wanted it is open to various surmses.
Sheridan and Custer were dead, but
Merritt was still alive, and in the army,
and Alger might have wanted to be
where he could rub it into Merritt to
get even with him for recommending
and getting Alger dismissed from the
service in 1864. He got even by ban.sh-
ing him to the Philippines. Perhaps.
like a former statesman, he scented
war and saw, chance to cast an
anchor to windward in some enterprise
in which he would be no deadhead. His
war predecessor had amassed a fortune
and founded a dynasty in that office,
and why not he? Anyway, whatever
the purposes running in what he is
pleased to regard as his mind, Alger
wanted, dickered for or demanded and
got the war secretary's chair
And he has made it conspicuous by
series of blunders, by siipshod,
bungling mlsmanagement, furnishing
abundant proofs that he is emphatica
ly the wrong man in the right place.
We need not recount them. There is
one charge: Incapacity. To it there are
thousand specifications. There might
| be another charge, a Cameronian one.

The Abstract and the Concrete.

State socialism always makes phi
laEthropy or humanitarianism its ad-
vance guard. When they have opened
the way the main body comes up, and
they are all foragers Socialism in the
abstract is thing of beauty; in the
concrete it is all that is repulsive,
greedy, avaricious, grasping, selfish.
This is because human nature is what
it is, and, for all the forces that are at
work, will be for more centuries to
come than we number in the Christian
calendar. We are progressing, but it
is very slowly. Once in a while the
socialist of the abstract gets a view
of socialism in the concrete, and, when
he happens to be candid, and also
happens to be a writer, the public
gets some valuable information. If
what he tells is known, and thus is
not informing, 1t is interesting to see
how a glimpse of the concrete strikes
the abstract man.
Recently E. V. Smalley took a ride
down the Mississippi river from st.
Paul to st. Louis. Possibly the saint
named towns at the beginning and end
of his journey disposed him to can
dor, for he Is a good Republican, hold
ing to their socialstic ideas of the
theoretic uses of the state, and is one
of those who see that policy in the alb
stract. Naturally, he fell to discours-
ing with his captain over river i'm
provements, and, in a moment of in
cautious frankness, he wrote his i'm
presSions to the New York Evening
Post. Incautious, we say, for what he
tells reflects upon the party of which
he is a member. After describing the
damming and rip-rapping between
here and st. Louis, done by the govern
ment to provide navigation for steam
boats that long ago went to the hulks,
driven there by the railways that par
allel the river, he turns to the other
Improvements of navigation" made
and making above the head Of naviga-
ton. He says:
Nothing of any account is being done, below
the reservoirs until we reach Minneapolis,
where the government is erecting big dam
for the purpose of extending the navigation
by locks and sack water up to the Falls of
St. Anthony. St. Paul is the historic head OF
navigation on the Mississippi, but the enter
prising people of Minneapolis have long been
unhappy over the fact that steamboats, could
effort they succeeded in getting an appropria-
ton to build a dam and locks
He might have added that the real
object sought is the utilization of the
water power thus created to their own
