Francis Scott Key.

The monument to Francis Scott Key, au :
thor of "The Star Spangled Banner" erected
by members of the Key Monument Associa-
ton at Frederick, Nd, was unveiled on the
9th instant with fitting ceremonies the feat
ures of which were military and civic parade
and an Grafton by Mr.. Henry Watterson de-
livereI in that gentleman most appreciative
vein. In the course ofhis remarks Mr.. Wat
terson called attention to the striking fact
thai sit was not a singer of the freside but a
beartnless wanderer who put in all hearts the
Anglo-Saxon simple Home, Sweet Home.
1t was poet, not warrior, who gave to our
Union the Anglo American homage to his
flag While this is true, it is also true that
Key, in his modesty, claimed none of the
poets laurels. Not long before his death he
made a speech in which he thus told how he
came to write the seng:
Through the clouds of war the stars OF
that banner still shone in my view, and saw
the discounted host of the assailants driven
back in ignominy to their ships. Then, in
that hour of deliverance and joyful triumph,
the heart spoke; and does not such country
and such defenders of their country deserve q
song? was the question. With it came an
inspiration not to be resisted, and if it had
been hanging matter to make song must
have made it. Let the praise, then, if any be
due, be given not to me, who did only what
could not help doing; not to the writer, but
to the inspirers of the song"
Truly Francis Scott Key was inspired; anC
it was that fact which gave enduring value t6
his anthem, and which has made it in turn al
inspiration for his countrymen in these STIR
ring war times. Had the association which
has reared shaft to his memory been ,gifte'
with the attribute of prescience 1t could no
have better timed the dedication service +
awaken national memories and feed afres
the fires of patriotic feeling.

WAR NOTES.
TUESDAYS DISPATCHES.


Chaplain Henry C. McCook, of the Second
Regiment. PENNSYLVANIA Volunteers, has been
ordered by the Secretary of War to proceed

The Countrys Indictment Against
Secretary Alger.
From the New York Times

From the New York Times.
Here is an opinion from the New York Press, n
warm Republican and Administration journal. 1t
is concise summary of the opinion of the country
as to Secretary Alger:
at has censured him for permitting his Ord
nance Bureau to issue antique and useless weap-
ons to troops in active service when ample time
remained before the outbreak of to provide
the whole army with an approved small ARM and
when he had actually in store supply of such
arms sufficient ten times over for the armament of
the volunteer regiments of General Skaters com.
mand. 1t has censured him for allowing men to
swelter winter clad, for months in torrid Ameri-
can camps and Cuban bivouacs when the least pro-
vision would have equipped them for the season
and the latitude in which they served. 1t has CEN
sured him for what has seemed a perversion of in
genuity in the selection of typhoid tracts such as
Falls Church and Miami, for the encampment of
large bodies of troops 1t has censured him for the
failure to acquire single live stock transport in
advance of an expedition to which he had assigned
division of cavalry. 1t has censured him for
passing over the heads of a score of veteran and
competent Brigadiers to the selection of an in
competent crony from his own State. This for the
all important duty of leading the first reinforce
ments to the support of the Fifth Corps. 1t has
censured him for assigning, under pressure from
congressman, Il, 900 men, for whom General Miles
had not asked, to Puerto Rico while ignoring the
demands of General Merritt for 10000 men for the
Philippines. 1t has censured him for calous indif
ference pettish retors to sincere representations
to the existence of unnecessary hardships in the
camp and field. 1t is now censuring him for viola
ting the privacy of unofficial correspondence for
spite at best; at worst for the conspTators purpose
of couding the political future of one of the most
valuable of the Governments servants, civil and
military in war and peacc-a man whose example
to youth of the country is the most fortunate of
tidotes to that which the pursy political methods
of the Secretary himself have SET These some
of the things for which the country has censured
the censorious Secretary"
Then referring to the order to take Skaters
troops into the interior when he knew that their
condition imperatively required their removal
north, whittier the country has supposed for fort
night that they were coming the Press adds that if
Mr. Alger issued such order,
1.-THE country has measure of censure for Secretary
Alger which should lead, with or without Execu-
tive assistance, to his retirement from an office
which he has filled with far more readiness to es-
cape the consequences and resent the utterance
than to remove the grounds of just criticism
These are the wounds of a friend" Will Mr..
Mckinley feel them?

Gen. Alger.

In severe criticism of Gen. Alger, Secre-
tary OF War, the New York Times says
''His shocking incapacity to manage the
business of his department, his apparent IN
difference to the terrible suferingss he has
compelled our soldiers to endure, his intro
duction of politics and favoritism into army
promotions and appointments, and his re-
ported eagerness to show favor to certain con-
tractors while the troops were suffering for
the articles his contractors could not supply,
have made him odious to the people.
Men are now beginning to ask why did the
President appoint such a good-for- nothing
Secretary of War? 1t is reported that two
weeks before the appointment was made the
P President said that Mr.. Alger could never
enter his Cabinet What powerful influence
bl oke down that excellent resolution?
But there is another question OF deeper
present interest that men are also beginning
TO ask: Why does not the President free his
Admins ration from this scandal by dismiss
ing Secretary Alger?
