As for Secretary Alger, his responsible
ity is so obvious that it is childish to
waste words upon it. He is the fountain
head of all the military doings of the
war save the absolute strategic and tao
teal movements He it is who prosti-
tuted the crisis of the nation to the man

self. No smooth talking or writing that
he can do now, whether addressed to the
miserable Depew or anyone else, can ex-

in less than q minute.
The building will have a seating eapaci-

feet, and win hold a ompan of two
hundred people. Iron supports will be
used throughout the entire structure, thus
greatly strengthening the balcony and

the First street side. as viii also be the

handsome front will be erected, but will
taper down toward the orchestra, thus
making what is termed "a false front"

said tina he could put on any pla that

MONEY POURING IN.
War Relief Committee Clos

Noble Conduct Of
Citizens.

Money continues to pour into the cOf-
fers of the Wal Relief Committee. whose
1abors are now almost over. AT last nights
meeting two big checks were received,
one coming from the Robert Davis Asso-
citation for s100 and the other $17L5e from
the member of the Van Houten Post G.
A. R. The later subscription was rot
taken from the funds of the organization,
but was the individual offerings of the
members.
There were present last night: Chair

Gordon, Acting Secretary W. j. TAFT and
Messrs. Stephen L. Harvey. William T.
Sullivan, Cornelius J. Cronan, Rev. Father
W. H. Dornin, Rev. E. A. Meury and Col.
STANLEY.
In response to letters sent to the Col
onial, Prudential, Metropolitan and John
Hancock Industrial Insurance Companies
asking what action these companies pro-
posed to take in the case of death Of en-
listed men, the committee received re-
plies last night to the effect that all The
companies would pay the benefciaries Of
policies of men who had enlisted and had
died in the service on proof of death from
the War Department. h generous ae-
tion gave much satisfaction.
Another praiseworthy act came to the
committees notice, and that was in the
case Of the death of a soldiers child in
Jersey City. Undertaken Robert Elliott
buried the poor little one and paid all the
necessary expenses as his contribution TO
the committee.

Alger and Camp wikoR.

and his ~self-satisfied declaration that con-
ditions there were not half as bad as he
expected to find them, viii not impose on
the public. The personal interest in the
troops intended to be suggested by the
personal inspection is a very poor busi-
ness coming as a sequel to the partisan
and personal selfshness which are the
cause of all the trouble. If General
Alger had thought of the welfare of the
troops at the time when he appointed his
brood of amateur staff colonies and
majors, the disgraceful suffering and dis
tress which place the Montauk PENN
sula in the same class Of memories as
Libby Prison and Charlottesville, would
never have come to pass.

the veune statesmen of Union on the day
of the Republican convention.
A small bit Of fleece presented itseil a.
the meeting Of the State Committee on
Tuesday, which. the politically weather.
wise declare, shows that the wind Is pc
ginning to blow away from Foster. II
was well known that the VOORHEES, men
were anxious for an early convention LOT
two reasons. mainly: it would give them
a longer time in which to trot Poster
around to the county fairs, armer PIC
mics. husking bees, outings of political
organizations and other occasions which.
when properly manipulated, present great
opportunities for getting votes, and II
would give their opponents less time IN
whichsto erystallize their opposition and
secure delegates against him
Senator Stokes, the Acting Governors
p~olitical alter ego, was permitted to adj
dress the committee and he strongly
urged the selection of an early date for
the convention. When. therefore. the
committee liked the latest day possible
those who pretend to know all about It
declared that 1t was a direct blow at Mr..
Voorhees, nomination and indicated very
plainly that the majority at least OF the
committee was against him..
Another lark cloud is looming up IN
South Jersey. The First Congressiona
district is said to oppose Mr.. Voorhees,
nomination and various reasons are given
therefor. One is that the Loudenslager
men are angry because Mr.. Stokes OPP
posed the denomination of the. Congress-
man. and his followers propose to square
things by not only opposing Mr.. Stokes
in his efforts to. be renominated but also
by doing all they can to secure the nomi-
nation of some one other than Mr.. Voor-
hees in the Gubernatorial convention.
Still another bit of fleece, which bids
fair to become an ominous cloud, has
recently crept into Mr.. voorhees, sky
over Middlesex. 1t has taken the shape
of a deinite declaration that the Guber-
Material candidate will be Franklin
Murphy. The Democrats, the promoters
of the Murphy boom say, propose to
make Essex the battle-ground by nominat-
ing a man from hat county, and the
Republican leaders have made up their
minds that if they hope to win they must
nominate a man from Essex. The best
one they can find, they say, for that pur-
pose is the popular" Chairman of the
State Committee. 1t has been announced
that Senator Sewell and other leaders
have buried the Ratchet and agreed to
support Voorhees,, and this was men
toned to the Middlesex prophet.
''Burying the hatchet,' he exclaimed
in disgust, the only place General sewell
will bury the Ratchet will be in Foster
VOORHEES, skull"
All this is edifying to the Democrats
and increases their chances of victory II
they profit by the lesson and present a
united front to the divided ranks of the
enemy.
