1t is n peculiar fact that scarcely any OF the

GEN. E4GIA,S NEW POSITION

General Eagan has evidently re-
ceived Il promotion, if we are TO judge
Ivy the editorials of tie Mean York Sun.
II he did not write the bitter attack
mace by our esteemed contemporary,
then some one else is after his laurels.
The attack is made upon the twenty
nine United States Senator: who had
the courage of their convictions and
voted against the ratification of the
perez treaty.
The names of the Senators who
voted against ratification are con-
spicuously printed, and all of them
are pilloried rs TRAITORS The sun
boldly charges that these Senators
voted in collision with the enemies
of their country" These Senatorial
traitors, vt says fired from the rear"
while Aguinaldo fired from the front.
We are assured that leach and ever,
one OF these twenty nine names will
be kissing and bywori among the
Americ ms from this time fortH;"that
1.-The blood shed at Manila is on their
hands," and that "they belong to the
Infamous category in which American
memoir holds Benedict Arnold"

article or assist in its preparation then
here is some one who is an excellent
counterfeiter of the Eagan style.

the habit of too many OF us when We
see inconsistencies in our friends to
pass them by whenever we are in their
presence, and yet to make some re
marks, which while not unkind, yet are
not exceedingly fiattering when they
are not about. People are too prone
to show the pleasant side of life to their
neighbor and keep concealed their
true Utmost thoughts. Very often we
extend congratulations when it is
more than half tiattery. Yet, who is
not prone to listen to the sweet, gentle
voice of praise. We think we deserve
it, yet the whole world knows it is un
earned and undeserved, but our kind
and indulgent friends, for one reason
or another, either for fear of hurting
our feelings or to gain their own selfish
ends, unfortunately too often the latter
for human nature is weak, tell us we
have done just right and deserve the
commentator of the whole world
when we should have their pity. Yet
is this right Human nature at the
best is poor and blind. Should we not

ceive another, we often deceive our
selves.
If the world would only be absolute

fully, how much better all would be-.

TIE ALGER JVHIrEWiSH FIRCE

4 IL n LHEh W II II " s1oh N1A1tSG.
A solemn farce will be enacted in
Washington today--one that the
American people would rather see
abandoned. The AIger Relief Board
will march up to the White House in
a body and present its report. This
will not be a pleasant spectacle for
those who have faith in the dignity
and sincerity of the government, or its
desire to deal justly by the hundreds
of thousands of brave and patriotic
citizens who went out to do battle for
the nation. Charges of the gravest
character have been preferred against
Secretary Alger by distinguished Off
cials, in whose integrity and honesty
of purpose the nation has the utmost
confidence. The people had right to
expect that those charges would be
seriously examined and decided Oh
their merits
The Alger Relief Board will today
announce to the President that the
men who made the charges are guilty,
and Alger is as innocent as lamb. The
relief board not only had before it the
most damning evidence of the incapa-
city or worse of Alger, but it could
have had, if it had wished, hundreds
of reliable witnesses, as we'll as any
amount of food unfit for use, as cumu-
lative testimony. 1t ran up against
single terrible witness-Dr. Daly-and
it declined to pursue the subject
further. DIR. DAILY brought the en-
balmed beefitself along with him, and
exhibited it with the chemicals used.
The board called in its own witnesses
to confound DAILY, and, like the Pro
phet BALKAN, they were honest men,
and corroborated his analysis. This
seems to have completely overwhelm
ed the Relief Board, and no more evi
dence except that of the now famous
Eagan and the friends OF the Secretary
of War.
DR.. DAILY, according to the judgment
of the board, is not worthy of credit,
because he told the truth and was
confirmed by government experts.
General Miles is guilty of endeavoring
to shield the army which he ccm
mands from the brazan incompetercy
of a man whose military record war
such as to cause him to be Stunned BY
all brave soldiers. If Alger imagines
that this transparent humbug can
give him brand-new reputation, Iii,
mistake will be discovered by the
President the moment the attempt IL
made to reorganizs the army. There
are some things that soldiers will not
tolerate. They will not submit to
diet of embalmed beef in land of
plenty, especially when it is accom-.
panied by unjust denunciation of
their commander, who is laboring for
their interests. Baltimore american
