ALrGELp 4 MISCHIEF MAKER.


Ex-Gov. Altgeld has made good deal Of
trouble for the Democratic patty of HIN
ois. and If he is permitted to have his way
he viii make trouble for the National DEM
ocratic party. That he IS "a man of ability
there isn't any doubt. He exerted an ex.
traorjinary influence in the last Demo-
cratic national convent on. 1t Is claimed
that he had more to do with making the
Chicago platform and nominating Mr.
Bryan than any other man. He is ex-
IRENE in his views and insists on leading
in everything in which he has a hand
He wants TO manage the Democratic
National Committee and viii do it unless
a sufficient number Of that body give him
TO understand In unmistakable terms that
his meddung with its affairs VIII not be
tolerated The meeting that was held in
Chicago last night was his meeting. He
called it without consulting the regular
Democratic organization Of Illinois or Of
Chicago. HIS purpose was 10 have 1t IN
derstood throughout the country that the
meeting was representative Of the Dem
ocracy Of Chicago and Illinois, and that
it was the result Of his efforts and recog-
nized him as the head of the Democratic
party of the city and state.
In view of the fact that the Democrats
of Chicago refused to nominate him for
Mayor of that city last spring, and gave
him a rid'culousTy small vote when he ran
as an independent Democrat, he ought to
be willing to take a back Sc at at the Demo-
cratic council board. The leaders of the
National Democracy ought to insist that
he keep in the background if they want
harmony in the party. 1t is apparent that
Mayor Harrison and his friends who rep
resent the regular Democratic party of
Illinois. will not consent to play second
fiddle to a boiler.
Democrats believe In majority rule. How
then can they then countenance the course
of Mr. AItgeld who, IN the Chicago mum
icipal election last spring, refused to abide
by the action Of The majority? In that
election Mr.. Altgeld let it be understood
that the Democratic National Committee
approved his course. A bulletin TO that
effect was sent out by the manager
of the press bureau of that committee
Conduct like that ought to be suf-
hcient to deprive Mr. Altgeld of all in
huence in the Democratic party. He isn't
recognized by the regular Democracy of
Illinois The national committeeman from
that state refused to accept his invitation
TO be present at the Democratic meeting
in Chicago last night Mayor Harrison also
refused to attend The meeting. And yet the
Democratic National Committee appears
to regard him as the man to be consulted
in Illinois.
It is apparent that the time isn't far
distant when the Democratic National
Committee Will have 10 choose between Mr..
Alteeld and the leaders of the regular
Democracy in Illinois. Mr.. Alleged will
not admit that he is In the minority not
withstanding the overwhelming evidence
that he as If the committee permits it
self to be guided by him the Democratic
party will stand very poor chance of
carrying Illinois next year.

ALGER,s nEsIGNATIoN.

Whether the President was dissatisfied
or not with Secretary Ayers management
Of the war department, there can be no
doubt that he is glad TO be ria OF him.
Practically the whole newspaper press Of
the country was against him, and tne
President had long felt mat he was
political burden that was steadily growing
heavier.
To what extent Gen. Alger was respon-
sible for the scandals of the war with
Spain it is impossible to say with any de-
gree of certainty. Many Of the leading
members of his own party believe that
there would have been fewer scandals If
different sort of man mad been at the
head of the war department. 1t must be
admitted in his favor that the two COM
missions which investigated the conduct
Of the war found nothing against him.
Sull, it doesn't follow from that fact that
the war department was ably managed
during the war with Spain or that it has
been conducted with ability since then
The reports of the investigating commits
sions only showed that Secretary Alger
did what he could to meet the demands
upon the war department. Another man
might have done great deal more. That
no crookedness of any kind was traced
to him Is not particularly to his credit
because so distinguished an official was
expected to be thoroughly honest.
1t is probable that the President stood
by him until he entered into a political
partnership with Gov. Pingree of Michi-
gan. Pmgree is not a friend of the adj
illustrations, and the President lost con-
fidence in his Secretary of War when the
latter joined with The admnistra TONS en-
emies to make war on the administra-
TONS frends-Senator Mcmillan, whom
Gen. Alger seeks to succeed in the Sen
ate being one of the administrators
strongest supporters. Gen. Alger is now
free to make his fight for a seat in the
Senate. As a matter of fact, he ought
to have resigned from the cabinet just as
soon as he made up his mind to become
a candidate for the Senate
It is doubtful if his resignation will call
forth many regrets 1t win be remember
ed that as the head of the war depart
ment he had some good points. He was
popular with the subordnates of the de-
partment, and was always approachable.
The fact, however that he was on bad
terms with the Commanding General of
the army was against him. The Secre-
tary of War and the Commanding Gen
eraI, particularly in the time of war,
should be on the best of terms. The war
department is in constant need of advice
and information from the Commanding
General.
1t is safe to say that the resignation
was not a surprise to the President. It
is not improbable that the visit of Gov.
Roosevelt to Washington few days ago
was the result of the desire of the Presi-
dent to find out from him whether or not
he would accept the Office of Secretary Of
War. The President must have known at
that time that Gen. Ayers resignation
would soon be sent to him The an
nouncement of the Pingree alliance doubt
| less caused the President to come to the
| conclusion that he would have to look for
| Gen. Ayers successor.

The Right Reverend George f. Seymour,
Bishop of Springfield, has published
letter in the Churchman in which he takes
a view of divorce which viii doubtless
cause discussion among Episcopahans. He
says among other things Marriage is a
contract, and by Gods fiat is indissoluble:
but like all contracts it may be made null
and void by fraud, violence or ignorance
In such cases there was never any real
marriage. The service and declaration
created legal status of man and wife in
the eye Of the law and the public but a
before God there never was sacramentaI
union in the bonds Of holy matrimony. and
therefore the parties or one Of them at
least who had been the victim of decep-
ton or force is free to marry whomsoever
he or she pleases." The Bishops idea is
tnat such alleged marriages may be an
nuiled without the use Of the word "di-
yorce."

The Brooklyn timber dry dock, which
partially collapsed the other day, was
built only nine years ago, at a cost of
100000. The repairs that will have to be
made will cost approximately $4,000. The
proper function of a dry dock is to be an
aid to the repairing of ships. but the gov
eminent has a number of dry docks the
chief usefulness Of which so far has been
to increase or repair fortunes of contrac-
tors And it will probably be so until
granite as a building material takes the
place of timber

that cause is noted in the official records.
The victim was suffering from tonsilius

have had something to do with the death
but the attending physician says the chief

GOOD TIMES ron sAw-MILL MEN.

The times are good for the lumbermen
of the South. Throughout the pine timber
region business is excellent for everybody
connected with the lumber trade Every
saw-mill is being operated and lumbermen
are using all the labor they can get The
price of lumber is from 80 to S5 per cent.
higher than it was a little while ago. and
lumbermen who were on the verge of
bankruptcy are now feeling that good
times have really come.
one saw-mill man is quoted as saying
that one of his mills will earn $35, coo more
this year than it did last year, if present
prices are maintained No doubt there
are many other saw-mill men who could
tell similar stories.
This condition of affairs is due to the
improved demand for lumber and to the
arrangement among saw-mill men. not TO
yie.d to the effort of northern buyers of
lumber to depress the market. Their firm
stand in behalf of their product has helped
them immensely.
OF course all kinds of business which de-
Ponds upon the lumber interest feel the
improved condition of affairs The local
merchants in the timber sections are do
ing a better business, and labor is more
contented, because it has steady employ
ment at fair wages. The transportation
lines also are being benefited, as is shown
by their increased freight receipts.
1t costs little more of course to build
a house here in the South. but because Of
the improved business conditions the most
of those who are building can afford TO
pay little more for house The greater
volume of money which the higher price
Of lumber brings into the lumber territory
gives an impetus TO business which every-
body feels.
For a long time before the rise in the
price of lumber occurred the lumber bust
ness was in a very depressed condition.
Many mills We're idle and many labor
ers in the lumber section we're out
OF employment. Pretty nearly everybody
dependent on lumber for living was in
debt. The change that has taken place
Is remarkable. Among lumber men and
their employees smiling faces are now the
rule. They are either out of debt, or fast
getting out, and they have the cash to pay
Tor what they want.

CURRENT COMMENT.

Writing of the rules for securing safety
at sea, the New Orleans Picayune says:
zone of the great German transatlantic
lines makes the chief officer jointly re-
sponsible with the captain for the safety
of the ship, and where there is a disa-
greement, while the captains decision is
TO be followed, The chief officer is required
to record his opinion in the ships log.
While it would be manifestly improper to
diminish in any way the captains author
ity or responsibility, any plan which would
reduce the liability to error should be
welcomed"
The Louisville Courier-Journal Dem)
says: Those colored anti-imperialists or

maud that the President cease trying to
civilize an alien people and devote his
energies to civilizing the Southern states
OF this country But are not the Southern
states already civilized? According to
some of the most vociferous of our poll
ucians, the Southern states are almost
as much opposed to imperialism" as Mas
