SEND US HANNA AND ALGEHs
1t Is hardly needful on the part of the
G o to express its deep commisera-
ton with the Republican brethren over
the failure of two Of their latest and most
hopeful political projects. the proposed
visit of the president and the establish
ment Of a Dewey home. They have both
fallen to pieces, and new opportunities
must now be sought for the glorification
of the progress of imperialism in the Phil
ippines.
It would be hard to suggest an adequate
substitute for at least the latter of these
two projects. Nothing that occurs to
even the most ingenious mind can make
up for the absence Of President Mckinley
from this community as means of fir
ing the imperialist heart. For, notwith-
standing the dubious relationship which
the great and good man from Ohio is now
generally recognized as bearing toward
the most dangerous influences I'M
DERIVING our new colonial policy,
there are still quite a number Of
we'll meaning, but hopelessly unin-
formed persons who look upon Pres
ident Mckinley as the representative of
that religious and moral force which we
are assured is represented in our politics
by the party Of Plat and Quay.
But, since the president cannot come
among us, why would it not be an entire
ly acceptable idea if his closest official,
personal and political friends, Gen. Alger
and Senator Hanna, were invited to be-
stow upon us their inspiring presence?
They have both done good work in the
grand cause of imperialism. They are
both on the eve of retirement from at least
a measure of the great prominence which
has been enjoyed by them. Gen. Alger
is probably about to assume new official
duties. His sphere of influence is here
after likely to be in the United States sem
ate, and his glorious career as the great
est war minister of modern times will
probably soon be brought to close. Sen
ator Hanna, on the other hand, is report
ed to be about to step down and out from
his high political station chairman of
the Republican national committee.
1t would indeed be a graceful act, and
one, no doubt, which would arouse great
enthusiasm among our martial-spirited
people, if Alger and Hanna representing
the majesty of the highest executive office
in the land, would come among us and in
spire the adherents Of the waning cause
Of Imperialism with some of the enthusi-
asm which has been so sorely tried by
the discouraging news which we have
been in receipt Of for so long from the
seat of war in the Philippines. Next TO
the president himself there Is no man in
the country who can be regarded as in as
high degree the incarnation of imperial
list patriotism as Senator Hanna. And,
next to these two great statesmen and
philanthropists, none of our public men
has been more nearly allied with the
great policy of expansion than Gen. AL
ger

ALGER,s UNDOING.

Recent events give rise TO the question
whether most, if not all of the trouble
III which Gen. Russell A. Alger has been
involved for some time past Is not due
entirely to his too trustful disposition.
Having made his little arrangement with
Gov. Pingree and finding that his position
in the imperialist cabinet was becoming
somewhat insecure, what more reason
able conclusion than that, after all, Pin
gree was zone of U.S." and that he could
be regarded as ''for Mckinley first last
and all the time" Gen. AIger, moreover,
has been so devoted an adherent of Nc
Kinley, and his prominence as chief pill
lar of the administration next to Mr.
Hanna was so well established, that,
after all, the conclusion seemed fully
warranted
But Pingree at best is a mighty on
sart'in cuss," and hence he has felt
called on to give to the world a state
ment as to his relations to the president
of which the following are the chief
sentences:
eff Gen. AIger knows that President Nc
ktnley is opposed to territorial expansion,
and is not an advocate of the murders
and the destruction being visited upon the
innocent Filipinos, he has a right to say
that 1 am for Mckinley.
If Gen. Alger is informed that Nc
knley is opposed to trusts and to legiS-
latiOn which fosters, creates and encour-
to restrict and suppress them, then I am
closer to the opinions of Mckinley than
has generally been believed. If Gen AL
ger is assured that President Mckinley
political methods of Mark Hanna and
his friends, and deprecates such lead
ership, then am for Mckinley"
The conditions under which Gov Pin
gree is ''for" Mckinley are such as
would harrow the soul of the most
hardened imperialist to contemplate. It
is the last condition specified, however,
which must be regarded as the most
cruel and untoward of all: eff Gen.
Alger is assured that President Mckinley
is not in touch and sympathy with the
political methods of Mark Hanna and
his friends, and deprecates such leader
ship, then I am for Mckinley" The po-
iIIlCdI HetHouS OF MARK huTIla! AND
what are the political methods of Mark
Hanna? Does anybody known There
surely cannot be anything wrong with
them, or a good, evangelical sort of man
like our estinable president would sure
ly refuse under all circumstances to
have anything to do with them. No. mol
The trouble is not with Mark Hanna or
the president They are all right The
matter is with Pingree. He simply Is
not zone of u.s." and the adherent OF the
administration who will have any truck
with him is altogether too credulous and
trustful a mortal to have a place in the
councils Of imperialism. Gen. Alger, you
had better resign at once.

Again the friends Of republican goverH-

All the schemes hatcked by the reptilian

toration of monarchism in France have
once more been defeated, and the French
nation has arisen to the height OF intel
ligence and courage which thu friends Of
free government barely hoped to see her

Concurrently with the triumph of the

what light they are to be viewed bv the
American people, the Ireland incident
makes plain. They are willing to sacrifice
even the peace and honor of France If
only they can discredit the political svs-
tenn under which men Of their type can
receive but little recognition.
1t would be more satisfying m rho
friends of republicanism in France had
the ministerial majority been larger than
it was. In the turbulence which charac-
terizes legislative proceedings in France
such majority is avery slender reed for a
ministry to lean upon A single com
plication may at any moment precipitate
another ministerial crisis, and France be
once more thrown into the vortex of DO
htical uncertainty.
The great need Of the French system
is that which Archbishop Ireland pointed
out i'll recent interview. Members of tho
ministry or the presidents cabinet, as It
may be called, should be selected from
among men in nowise connected with the
legislative branch of the government the
french president should be elected by
other means than those which now pre-
vail, and the continued existence of the
cabinet should be assured without re-
gard to the wishes of the legislature.
Could the French republic be remodeled
more closely on our own, it might bid de-
hance to all the royalists in France in
definitely.
The address Of NJ Waldeck-Rosseau in
reply to questions from members of the
chamber, shows clearly the conservative
and peaceful policy which the government
has marked out for itself. It shows.

all of the officers of the Fifteenth regi-

show that Col. Leonhauser was in no
way connected with the outbreak, ard
that as soon as he had been notified that
some Of the men were violating military
law he gave orders directing two COM
who were making the disturbance. The
findings are complete vindication of
Col I.eonhauser and exonorate him fully
from any of the excoriating epithets ap-
piled by Brig. Gen Young. 1t was shown
that Col Leonhauser was at Gen. Sum-
mer's headquarters at the time of the
trouble. None of the other officers are
mentioned, their cases not being before

TWENTIETH CENTURY.
A saltwater Man Says 1t Begins Jan.
4, 1900.

To the Editor of the Globe:
Having with considerable interest read
the several arguments as to the end of
the nineteenth century or rather the
beginning Of the twentieth century, I
unhesitatingly side with Mr.. Beaumont,
that the twentieth century begins Jan. 1,
1900. While my argument is slightly diff
ferent than that Of Mr.. Beaumont, it IS
substantially the same. At the beginning
of the Christian era there was no year;
instead the present era began with sec
onds, which were necessary to the form
ing Of minutes, hours, days, weeks,
months following before the word year
was necessary, consequently at the time
the year of 1 A. D. we were practically
on our second year. Another and more
common instance is the age of child.
We cannot use the word year in telling
the child's age; it is either days, weeks
or months old, and not years, which
clearly denote time past.
