1t will be recalled that the New York
Herald was one of the first newspapers
of the country to expose the embalmed
beef steals and other War Department
in, the Herald so bore itself that Mr..
Alger was nigh unto epileptics. Day
after day its news columns teemed with
exposures of Mr.. Ayers side show
Even his thin legs, his attenuated form,
his BOBBY face became in the hands of its
cartoonists matter Of mirth for his
countrymen.
1t was not to be supposed that the
man who could violate the public pro-
prieties and the customs of his depart
nent in order to be revenged on vol
unteer officer would forgive or forget the
tweaks administered by James Gordon
Benefits newspaper. Mr.. Alger bided
his time, and not in vain, as the sequel
shows.
Mr.. Bennett is not only the owner of
newspaper in New York and one in
Paris, but he also is at the head of a
cable company that wants to hitch fast
to islands, here and there, in the sea.
Just now Mr.. Bennett has swum up
to the coast of Cuba with the loose end
of cable and wants to tie fast. Does
Mr. Alger smile him welcome? Not
much. He has not only put up sign,
''ground no cable here" but, with that
naughty disregard of danger for which
he has become nationally famous, he has
taken his stand by the edge of the lap
ping wave and warned Jimmy G. per-
sonally and particularly to avaunt.
But Russell A. has not proceeded
blindy in this matter. He has taken
counsel with that terror and bane of the
trusts, Attorney General Griggs. Here
is Griggs' reply:
IF the Commercial Cable Company of
Cuba. in disregard of the instructions of
the War Department and against its
will, carried out its proclaimed purpose
of landing its cable upon the Island of
Cuba to connect that island with the
United States, you would be justified
in using such force as is necessary to re-
move and disrupt it"
And there you are. On all the wide
stretch of desert strand there is no
nook that is not swept by the eagle eye
of Alger; there is never a knot-hole in
Ayers trocha where through the loose
end of cable may be poked. Mr.. Alger
has his revenge. 1t is sweetly and
Enthusiastically Algerian.

WAR AND CHRISTIANITY.
w INV ~NANID y II II
Washington Post.

Washington Post.
How far the disciples of the Prince of
Peace may properly go in the advocacy
of war as a means of spreading the
Gospel is a debatable question. There
are a number of Christian sects that
cOnscientiously oppose all wars, and it
cannot be denied that if Christ's teach
ings are to be taken literally, these sects
base their anti-war conviction ON a
strong foundation. The Post is, how
ever, inclined to agree with those theo-
logans who hold that the Savior of
Mankind, in many of his deliverances
referred TO the ideal man: to condi-
ton impossible of realization until ages
of progress shall have elapsed; to a
state toward which man should perss-
tently strive and to which, through such
striving, humanity may ultimately at
tain.
This view of Christian duty enables
and prompts the pulpit to support the
Government in wars waged for the re-
dress of wrongs, but it might not serve
as an inspiration to the waging of war
for no other purpose than the conversion
of the devotees of other religions to the
Christian faith. The Post does not be-
lieve the Christian sentiment of the
United States calls for wars that are
not necessitated by reasons other than
a desire to extend the area of Christian
civilization. Great and good as that
work is, much as it has accomplished
for the uplifting of humanity, The Post
feels confident that but few pulpits
would venture to advocate war solely for
its prosecution.
Bishop McCabe, of the Methodist
Episcopal church, is quoted as having re-
Gently declared that he was supremacy
grateful to Providence for having open
ed a way for missionary work in the
Philippines through the bombardment of
Manila and the warfare of the American
troops against the natives. This was
going about as far as could be expected
of any loyal Christian citizen. But the
Bishop did not halt there. Warming up
in his zeal. he is reported to have said:
Il long to see the day when Dewey will
be before Constantinople demanding re-
ligious freedom for the Turks, with bonn
bardment of the Turkish capital as the
alternative"
The country is scarcely prepared to fof-
course he marks out. The people win
stand by their government an putting
down the Filipino insurrection, and
Christian missionaries will be protected
in their efforts to promulgate the Gospel
in all the islands of the archipelago.
But we did not lombard Manila and We
are not fighting the Filipinos on religi-
Gus grounds. When order is restored in
the Philippines. not only the Christians
of all sects and denominations, but all
others will be protected in their right to
worship God, or not to worship Him sac-
cording to their own judgment. In this
Christian land-Christian in the sense
that Christianity is the faith of most of
its people who have any religion-the
Mohammedan, the Buddhist, 1.-THE heath
en- Chinee'' are entitled to and receive
the same protection that is accorded to
their Christian fellow citizens. That
must be our policy.

THE SCUTH'S ADVANCEMENT.

In his paper before the Southern Hard
ware Jobbers' Association at Atlantic
City, New Jersey, yesterday, Mr..
Richard III. Edmonds, editor of the
Manufacturers Record, of Baltimore,
made showing for Southern progress
that is little short of marvellous. Deal
ing with the havoc wrought by the
Civil War, he said:
SIN the valuation of property the
South outranked the New England and
Middle States in 1860 by 10000, 900.
but during the decade ending with 1870
the SOuth's total wealth decreased from
$4,000, 100000 to $4, 100000 while
the New England and Middle States,
owing largely to the conditions brought
about by the war, advanced from So
800. 100000 to $15, 200, 100000. One sec
ton showed a decline of over $1,000
100000. while the other gained nearly
$4,000, 100000
This is one picture of the South. The
transformation that has taken place
from 1880 to 1899 is the other, as indi-
Gated by these figures:

In the account of the formation of a
gigantic combination of clothing manu-
facturers, engineered from Baltimore ac-
corling to the Sun, one OF the reasons
given is that it will enable the com
bined manufacturers to dispense with a
iarge number of travelling statesmen
That this will be done if the combine
goes through has been shown by the his
tory of other combinations which have
thrown thousands of "drlmmers" ont
of employment. Is the doom OF the
formation of trusts continues.

What Does II Mean?

Law and order seems to have startled
our political friends out of their heredit-
ary antagonism into the warmth of en-
bracing friendship. Last fall we had
four parties in the field, now there are
two. Why the fusion now and not in
November last?
We ask the voters to vote this ques-
tion and answer it for himself and her
self. We ask the voter to further note
what the Law and Order ticket stands
for. 1t pleads for a clean city, clean
everyway. 1t pleads for the further-
ance OF the law and therefore of the law
abiding citizen. There is no intention to
be dishonest. No intention to wipe out
the present existing condition of things
except insofar as it is contrary to law and
decency. No sudden Increase of taxation
need to be feared. The men whose
names are on the ticket are men capable
of business and they represent property.
They pay taxes on property owned by
themselves. They are pledged to main
tain the law, to do justly with all persons,
to correct abuses, to give us a clean city
in every sense. Cleanliness and economy
have always gone together and we may
not fear increased taxation. Extrava-
gance is the companion of impurity and
uncleanness.
These men are honest reputed citizens
and are representative men. They have
no political ends to serve, no private ends
to look after, and it behooves every man
and woman who loves and approves OF
