MANILA CORRESPONDENTS.
Some Facts as to the Personality OF
Two of Them from Which Their
Importance May be Estimated.

the people of England" has there been
anything to equal the vanity, efirontery
and impertinence Of the statement OF the
eleven correspondents censuring the CEN
orship of their dispatches at Manila. In
the entire outfit there is not a man, unless
it be John f. Bass, who before the out
break of war with Spain knew flying bat

from a II pound baby. ..J
Take the first name attached to this

eral Otis -
JOHN T. McCUTCHE0N, '
Chicago Record. -
Who is he? An exceedingly clever car
toonist who won recognition during the
campaign of 1896 for some humorous
cartoons in which figured lop-eared pup.
Mr.. McCutcheon happened to be on a
trip around the world on the revenue cut
ter McCulloch when the war broke out.
He secured permission to accompany 1t
with Dewey's fleet to Manila. His pictures
of the sea fight and of the naked Filipinos
have been distinguished by vlvaclty OF
fancy farther than accuracy OF detail.
The nude rather than the naked truth has
been his forte. His views are naturally
rather pictorial than matter Of fact.
MIR. McCutcheon is about the last man
ON earth one would select to pass upon
the character of news which could safely
be sent from. an army operating in an
enemy's country. And yet he appears to
have been the prime mover IN the attempt
to override the judgment OF the command
ing officer in the Philippines.
At the other end of the list censorlous
correspondents we find the name oil
Richard Little, who figures as the CORE
spondent of the Chicago "Tribune' n
somewhat cursory examination of the lilies
of the Tribune" for several months past
fails to discover more than one despatch
over the signature Of this hitherto un'
known. If he represents our contempor-
airy in Manila MIR. Little has the greatest
possible grievance against the censor, who
has only let his signature. escape the blue
pencil once. Why, the gorge Of the an

as this
So much for the personnel of the pro-
testing correspondents. Now a word
about their protest
1t must strike the merest tyro in mill
tary affairs that these correspondents have
been guilty of Incredible folly. Then
presence with the army at all is conces
sion to the spirit of publicity that prevails
in republican civil affairs. They are per

with every military expedition in time o.

Secretary AIger's Resignation.
Philadelphia Press. |

Philadelphia Press.
Secretary Alger has resigned his portfo-
lilo as Secretary of War in Difference to a
public criticism widespread, active and in
creasing. He has wisely refused to remain
in position where he had become the
constant target and object of assault and
attack, where defense was bampered
pending an administration not yet COM
plete, and whele his own public purpose
and ambition to enter the Senate was rem
dered more difficult of attainment by MS
presence in the Cabinet.
Resignation was the only course open
under the conditions, which have been
embittered and aggravated by partisan
and personal hostility which saw in Presi-
dent McKinley's administration no other
object of attack and no other point OF
criticism. Secretary Ayers retirement
ends and closes the only charge against the
work of the administration seriously made
or widely affecting any large part of the
public. The assiduity with which it was
urged was itself the best possible proof
that no other channel for assault existed,
and no other charge was available. With
its disappearance, through Secretary
Ayers resignation, it is literally true that
nothing else remains, in war or in peace,
on which serious charge can be made
against the conduct of public affairs and
the government for two years and nearly
i've months since President Mckinley was
inaugurated.
With Secretary Alger, as with all men
associated with large events and the
greater affairs of men, it is for the history
of the future and not the opinion OF the
day to reach a final verdict This, it may
be confidently predicted, will revise and
redress much now charged and asserted,
and his final position in history will not be
that estimated by many to-day, but one
NC diied by a larger and fuller knowledge.

SENATOR R0AR.
On What Conditions His Reelection to
the Senate Is Assured.
Springfield "Union" (Repll

Springfield "Union" (Rep.)l
The Worcester Telegram" has dscov-
cred that the mythical Republicans State
machine is preparing to defeat Senator
Hoar for reelection, and that ex-Lieute-
nant Governor Halle was made chairman
of the Committee on Resolutions that he
might be placed in line for Hoar's posi-
ton. Secretary Long is "also mentioned"
but our contemporary devotes most of its
space to showing that Mr.. Halle is the
probable candidate of the impefialists.
This is all very interesting, and espec-
tally so to the many friends of Mr.. Halle
in Western Massachusetts, who would be
glad to see him in the United States Senate.
But Mr.. Hoar has served the State long
and faithfully, and his opposition 10 Pres
ident Mckinley constitutes his first offense.
Should he decide to be candidate for re-
election it will take very strong Republic
can to defeat him. The course of Mr..
Hoar in the future will have much to do
with his return to the Senate. He has
said many unwise things, and has brought
upon himself much criticism, well deserv-
ed, but when Congress meets again, should
he accept the situation as it is, should he
conclude that his duty was done when be
opposed the ratification of the treaty, and
that his duty now is to use his influence to
help clear the atmosphere, instead of to
becloud it, we opine that he will be re-
elected.
Should MIR. Hoar continue to violently
oppose the Administration we have little
doubt that he can so arouse public senti-
ment that, in spite of the high regard in
which he is held, he would be defeated.
Secretary Long would be the natural Sue
cessor, unless he prefers to remain in the
Cabinet. With Long out of the way,
Governor Wolcott would most assuredly
be in the list of aspirants, and he is one of
tbe most popular men in the State.

WHEN the Democratic National Com
mittee met at Chicago last week, the Goth
inst, Mr.. Bryan tried to steer clear of the
bitter fight that is being waged between
Argeld and Carter Harrison for control in
Illinois. The National Committee ousted
P.J. Devlin from the editorship of the
Press Bureau, Devlin being the friend OF
Atgeld and antagonized by Harrison. Mr.
BRYAN remained silent when this was done.
Atgeld is likely to resent Mr.. Bryan's
Indifference, and in 1900 Bryan will be
showed under in Illinois.

We we're much amused at our little con-
temporary, the Evening News, in its attack
upon McKinley's administration, and
especially upon Alger, for sending Gen.
Joseph Wheeler to the Philippines. Now,
does not the News know that Wheeler has
been sent at his own special request? And
does it not know that he will be assigred
to an important command? But worst of
all for the News is the fact that only a
month or two ago Gen. Wheeler in pub
lie speech declared that Secretary Alger is
one of the greatest war secretaries of mod
ern times. This attempt to excite preju-
dice against Republican administration
by declaring that Gen. Fitz. Lee and Gen.
Joseph Wheeler have been badly treated
is too ridiculous to deceive anybody, and
has been very properly rebuked by these
Generals MISUNDERSTANDING Spirit

IT looks very much like majority OF
the Democratic newspapers in Virginia
will support Governor Tyler for United
States Senator. Among those that have
already declared for him we notice the
Norfolk Virginian-Pllot, Roanoke Times,
Danville Daily Bee, Salem esRegister,
South Boston News, Pulaski News Review,
Culpeper Enterprise, Brunswick Gazette,
and Madison Free Press. A good many
more papers are likely to support him.

The fact of the business is that silver
man as President could make it pretty
lively for the gold standard, even though
the gold men were in the majority in the
Senate, as they are now. For the Presi-

would redeem, at the option of the Gov

THE Democratic press was very persist
ent in its assertions that General Alger
VAS incapable as Secretary Of War, and
constant in its demands upon the Presi'
dent for his removal. Already we begin
to see an inclination with this same Demo
cratic press to create the impression that
Alger was mades scapegoat by the Ad-
nlinistratlon. We would not be surprised
to see the Democratic papers in a short
while praising Alger, and trying to con-
vince the people that Mckinley has been
responsible for mistakes that are the crea-
tons of Democratic fancy.
