There seems to be a differences of opin-
ion among the experts as to the exact
reason why Secretary Alger's resignation
was called for just at this time, for 1t is
very evident that his resignation was not
an entirely voluntary act on the score
tary's part The Washington correspond
ent of the Boston Journal holds the opin-
ion that it was the Pineree episode that
brought about the crisis. He says:
Then came the Pingree episode. No
sooner was the Michigan alliance an
nounced than the President saw that it
would be politically embarrassing for
Alger to remain in the cabinet and every
days development sircs has confirmed
him in this belief. Letters came to him
from all over the country urging him to
let Alger go. The members Of this cabinet
were united In believing that he ought TO
go. For the past three weeks the President
='has devoted himself to bringing Alger to
a realization of this without actually
asking him to resign.
Senator Hawley, however, thinks 1t was
the yellow journals that did 1t. He says:
The attacks on Cen AIger have been
wholly Without cause, for the man has
done equally as we'll as any human being
could do. Fault has been found with
this detail and that detail; whole trains
of cars were wanted at a moments
notice; some wholesale house failed to
furnish what was desired and so IL went.
Ole complaint followed another, and the
yellow journals picked up the CRY and
seld papers. The newspapers are looking
for something to get up and tear their
shirts about. Secretary Alger is a CON-
srienti6us worker, and the president would
never accept his resignation If so much
rank criticism had net heen made. Un-
der the circumstances, of course the Presi-
dent cannot allow him to remain in the
cabinet"
We think the Journals explanation
Is altogether more probable than Mr..
HRwley's. Alger's alliance with Pingree.
considering the attitude of the latter,
was an afTront TO the President and his
administration which the President had
good leassn to complain of. But
Senator Fawl US explanation that
the President turned cut Alger. because OF
entirely unjust attacks upon him by the
yellow journals, is according to those
journals altogether more influence tn an
they have and to the President alto.
gether less loyalty to justice and fair
play than belongs to him.

The atmosphere by which the Demo

The present meeting of the Democratic
committee at Chicago was called partly
for the purpose Of Determining the issues
to be presented by the Democracy In the
next campaign. We venture to predict
that IL will adjourn with the issues as
little determined as when 1t came to-
Rether. The two wings Of the party rep
resented in the committee are too ire
ooncllable for compromise, and the deter

In the party at this time, the determine
tion of issues will, we feel little doubt, be
turned over completely to the Democratic
convention.
But though an actual demonstration
may be prevented enough is bound TO
appear to show that the gang that led the
party into the Popuiist camp three years
ago Is still powerful enough to keep 1t
there. FREQ silverisn and anarehism
are as rampant as ever, and
their adherents are determined
that no compromise shall be made

the gold Democrats are anxious enough
for harmony to completely surrender
they can have harmony bus on no other

that the Democratic party had been cured
Of its foiiies, and was about TO show some
glimpses of returning wisdom and COM

the picturesque language Of Col. Henry

Bryan still continues to harp on silver
AT the Alteeld meeting In Chicago he
laid down three propositions, namely,
that President McKinley's effort to bring
about International bimetallism was q
confession that bimetallism is better than
single gold standard; that It's failure
shows that binletallism can only be estab-
Iished by this country acting independ-
emily; and that as prosperity has followed
discoveries in the Klondike, therefore more
prosperity would follow the still further
increase of money metal which would be
the result of a recognition Of silver. 1t is
probably true that the Republican con-
vention thought at the time 1t pledged
itself to seek International bimotallism 1t
was preferable to the geld standard,
or that itstelieved that majority of the
people thought so. A majority of the
people may think SO now. But they did
not think then and do not now that BIZ
metallisrn sustained by this country alone
IL preferable to the esld standard. Il may
have been demonstrated THAT information
al birnetallism cannot 10 obtained, but
IL By no means follows that this country
alone should establish bimetaIlism ON its
own account. As for Bryan's claim that
the more money there is the moro pros
perity--for that carried to its logical con-
ciusion is wsat Mr.. Bryan's third propo-
tion amounts to-it Is no more true than
that the emount of hay gathered will in
