REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR
MatrImony spells martyrdom.

Matrimony spells martyrdom.
The most unsatisfactory thing to
women is that they can show some Of
their prettlest clothes onlywhen they're
of.
1t is curious that the same woman
who is content 10 be in love with one
man is more than content to have lot
OF men in love with her.
A man can do most anything and still
be a good husband II he only remem-
bers to kiss his wife and toss the baby
every time he comes home.
Two women in whom the same man
is interested may never be able to de-
eide how much they like him, but they
don't have any trouble deciding how
much they don't like each other. New
York Press.

Boasted Greatness Us, the Real Thinp

Boosted Greatness vs., the Real Thing.
The Register rehashes a sensational
dispatch containing an alleged inter-
view with Secretary of War Alger.
making personal attack on President
Mckinley, and posing as a martyr, The
Register published this alleged, dis
patch yesterday, dating It the day pre-
vious, at Washington. Though printed
along with It's Associated Press dis
patches, with no distinctive mark. for
an evident purpose. the Introductory
to the interview is bitterly partisan,
while the Associated Press doesn't In
duige in any partisan comments. Sec
rotary Alger is represented as opening
up with the statement that 1.-The
American people shall see who is the
greater and more benevolent man
william Mckinley or L" Then General
Alger, who is still secretary of war,
and will be until August /, is made to
proceed to assault the President, and to
prove that he (Alger) is the greater
man of the two, and is entitled to the
credit of good many things the Pres
Ident has been credited with. The
story was published in a New York yell
low paper of the 24th. Notwithstanding
J the Register dated 1t on the 25th, and
the dispatch read that 1t was given out
to-day"
outside these facts, the effort to
make political capital out of the mat
ter win amount to nothing. II Gem
eral Alger authorized such an inter-
view. containing a personal assault on
the President, and to prove that he is
greater and more benevolent man
than william Mckinley" while he is
yet member of the cabinet. and in
view of the tribute the President paid
him for faithful service" in his letter
accepting the resignation, he lowered
himself in the estimation of all fair
minded citizens.
A proper sense of decency and pro-
priety would have induced any man to
wait the few days yet remaining to
vent his mind of Its soreness after his
retirement. If General Alger did not
observe this propriety, and really made
use of the language accredited to him,
he has not raised himself in the estima-
ton of dignified and fair-minded men.
1t does not prove that the secretary is
the greater man OF the two. A brave
man and a benevolent man" does not
open an explanation Of his conduct with
the boast that he is great and benevo-
lent. He makes the simple statement
of his side Of a question and leaves it
for the public to Judge whether he is
great and benevolent, or not, especially
where the issue involves a comparison.
1t is hard to believe that Secretary
Alger would bellttle himself by such
differentiation. and believe he
has been nisquoted. Certainly no ben
eft can come to the Democratic cause.
as against President Mckinley. by ex-
plotting this alleged boast. The pub
lie Is able to judge between the man
who is not great but boasts that he is,
and the man who is great but does not
openly boast of it. Surely Secretary
Alger knew this.
