MORE ALGENISM.

What the President must look out
for now that he has determined to keep
Alger in Office in the face of the pro-
tests of the country, is that there be
no repetition of his mismanagement
with it's deadly consequences to our
troops. Already we are informed from
Cuba of fresh display of Algerian
incompetency in the utter neglect of
the War Department to make any pro-
vision whatever for the protection of
the health of the troops during the
rainy season which is about to set in
in Cuba One of the simplest precau-
ton, that of flooring the tents of the
army of occupation, has been utterly
neglected. Already increased sickness
among the troops is reported.
LA Lucha," the leading newspaper
of Havana. thoroughly familiar with
the conditions there, declares that 1.-THE
day the rain begins the death rate will
be record against Alger which will
grow blacker day by day" 1t adds:
THE proposition to keep the men here
after the rainy season mas begun would
be the most direct crime among the many
so far committed ny the War Department,
but, unlike the others, this one would not
be hidden away, as the Secretary has re-
ceived ample warning from every quarter.
If the War Department does not abandon
it's criminal system of delay, It should be
compelled to recognize the right to live
which even a United States soldier pos
sesses All Americans who have in the
slightest degree a desire for the welfare
of their soldiers should unite and insist
on the immediate repatriation of the bulk
of the army now here"
These are solemn words of warning,
but although Alger himself is in Cuba,
attending ceremonies and looking
around for good money investments,
we have yet to hear that he has given
the matter a thought.
What is true of Cuba is true of the
Philippines, which is even worse eli
mate during the rainy season. True,
a few hundred thousand feetSof lumber
have been ordered at the last moment
to the Philippines, to build hospitals,
etc., but nothing like adequate prepara-
tons have been made to protect the
soldiers there, while absolutely no
preparations at all have been made in
Cuba.

DIRT CHEAP WEST VIRGINIA LANDS

DIRT CHEAP WEST VIRGINIA LANDS.
A dispatch in our telegraphic col
umns this morning tells of some won
derful bargains in land in Tucker
county secured during the recent term
of court there during a sale by the
commissioners of school lands. One
1873 acre tract went for 1914, and another
tract of 671a acres at $51, while 100
acre tract went at the ridiculously low
price of SIS, or fifteen cents an acre,
and another tract of so acres for S., or
but ten cents an acre. For a total of
SAB acres sold but s24350 was received,
or an average of 401a cents an acre.
Capital seeking investment of this
character could not ASH for cheaper
land than this.
1t would seem, by the way, that the
mighty industrial boom which is rush
ing up the price of trust stocks in Wall
street, has not yet reached land values
in the interior.

THE TRUTH CoNCERNIG THE FILL
PGNOG.

When the Intelligencer quotes the
Register as speaking of Aguinaldo as
great patriot our neighbor is guilty
of that Misrepresentation of the facts,
which in plain parlance is called lying.
The Register has simply told what the
Fourteenth street organ of imperial
ism never has, namely, the truth about
the Filipinos-which is a matter of
official as we'll as unofficial record
but the Register has never INDUCED in
gush over the Filipino leader, as our
neighbor would have it's readers be-
lieve in order to bolster up its asinine
charge of "disloyalty'-which charge
under the circumstances is enough to
make cart-horse laugh.
1t was a foregone conclusion that
Editor Can t-Tell-the-Truth
would resort to his usual tactics to
combat the force of the official evil
ton of the very gravest blunder in its
Philippine policy-to put it as mildly
as possible. The American people,
however, wish to know the truth, and
honest newspapers are not deferred
from doing their duty in this respect
by the malicious libels of the jackals
of the imperialist press. Moreover, as
only official documents and CORES
pondence have been used in making the
truth clear, the charge of "disloyalty"
clearly rests with those responsible for
said official correspondence, namely,
Admiral Dewey, Generals Greene, An
derson and several other American
army and naval officers in the Philip
pines.
But, says the Fourteenth street Or
ganist, Dewey and the rest said and
wrote these things several months ago
and their views are not the same now!
How does our neighbor know this?
We challenge it to quote word or a
line from Admiral Dewey or any of the
OlncT OulC6TS CONTRADICTORY OI IHSlr
statements and official correspondence
quoted by the Register from Public
Document No. 81, concerning Aguin-
aldo and his people and their govern
ment. Our neighbor cannot do so and
is simply guilty of deliberate false
hood. Said statements were mainly
recitals of fact to the departments at
Washington and to the Paris Peace
Commission, and not mere personal
opinion, conjecture or guesswork.

MR.. McKINLEY'S RESPONSIBILITY

The President is quoted as saying
that ''the newspaper criticisms of Sec
rotary Alger applied to him as much
as they did to the Secretary. If the
Secretary has been derelict, then he,
the President, had also deserved CEN
sure"
This is true as gospel and is what
we have contended througout the in
yestigation of this series of nasty scan
dals, namely, that the really response
BILE person was the solemn visaged
gentleman in the White House. For
haven't we Mark Hanna's word for it
that Alger made no move without first
consulting the President? Hanna has
said he knew this to be fact. Mean
while, we know that the President was
personally responsible for the gross
outrage upon the service and upon vet
eran soldiers consequent upon loading
down the army stats with incompe-
tent and unfit sons of somebodies For
all the awful and, at the time, appar-
emily interminable bungling and mis-
management of the troops and army
movements during the war, these ap-
pointments by the President of person
al and political favorites to important
staff positions, for which they were in
no way qualified, were very largely re-
sponsible. The same is doubtless true
of all the other plumbers and bungling
of the War Department Second Term
Syndicate, whose sole aim seemed to
be to make political capital out of the
war-the really responsible person was
the President, for the political ma
neuvering was chiefly done in his in
terest and while of course he did not
personally attend to Ayers duties he
supervised them, knew what was go
ing on at all times and persisted in
keeping Alger in Office after his gross
unftness and incapacity had become
notorious throughout the country.
Yes, the President is decidedly right.
