ALGER'S FULL HAND.

An intimate friend of Secretary
Alger is quoted by the Baltimore
american as having said:
elf Secretary Alger goes out he
will be free to talk, and when he
commences to talk, he will make it
interesting for the administration.
He will reveal the influence that
compelled the letting of some of the
army contracts. Proof of these
things are locked in the Secretary's
safe. He holds a full hand"
Whether this is an accurate ex-
PLANTATION of the case or not, it de-
rives abundant color of probability
from recent facts.
Some other motives besides
personal friendship and gratitude
for campaign aid must be at the bot
tom of McKinley's extraordinary
tolerance and forbearance in re-
tanning Alger in the Cabinet in the
face of notorious performances.
Mr.. Mckinley is too accomplished
and experienced a politician not to
see and feel the vast injury Alger
has done and is doing the admins
tration. He is too sensitive to
public opinion, too alive to his own
success, not to desire to rid himself
of this old man of Michigan.
Yet in spite of the adjuration of
his friends to dismiss Alger, in spite
of the heavy handicap Algerism
has laid upon the administrations
war record, in spite of Ayers open
alliance with McKinley's declared
enemies and the fight against the
administration wing of the Michi-
gan Republicans, the President
still retains the Secretary, and per-
ceiving his ingratitude and treach-
cry.
Mr.. McKInley's behavior under
the circumstances does not justify
the belief that he is actuated by a
desire to conserve the best interest
of the country or to strengthen the
prestige of his party. He behaves
as if he were afraid to turn Alger
out, and his fear appears to sping
from personal source.-St. Louis
Republic.

EsrERHAzY, it is reported, has
confessed that he wrote the border
eau, the infamous paper that sent
Dreyfus to Devils Island and
wrecked his life The document
was written, so Esterhazy claims,
at the instigation and dictation of
his superiors. There seems not to
be doubt now that Dreyfus will
be acquitted, but the scandal is to
be hushed up, according to report.
The French army needs overhaul
ing, and those who were responsible
for Dreyfus' misery should be made
to suffer the same punishment that
was meted out to him.

THE telegraph brings news Of

THE telegraph brings news OF
more strikes in the East almost
daily, and an increase in the force
of strikers now out. The question
is what are these men striking for?
We are given to believe that the
wave of prosperity is circling all
about the East, that money is plenti-
full and that wages are being in
creased. Is it possible that those
laborers in the East are on strike
becaues their wages are too large?

THE press correspondents in the
Philippines recently protested
against the censorship of their arti-
Gle by the government. The pro-
test, it seems, is to be ignored, and
we are to have no more light on the
true inwardness of things on the
Islands than before. 1t is time the
people demanded to know the true
state of affairs in this war with the
Philippines. The people of this
country are furnishing the men for
this war and are being taxed heav-
lily to carry it on. By what right
has the President compelled the
citizens of this country to accept
Only such news about the war as he
may see fit te send forth?

ALGER, Secretary of War, ha

ALGER, Secretary of War, has
resigned, subject to the approval of
the President. The resignation
will probably be accepted, as Alger
has already driven thousands of
voters away from the Republican
party by the gross mismanagement
of affairs connected with his office,
and the President sees that there
is need OF all the votes the Repub-
lican party can muster at the next
election.

l, 1892 and starting with cash they had
on hand, without any relation to what
the books, as previously kept, would indi-
cate that they should have. This process
of jumping the balances will be investi-
gated, and the matter of the bookkeep-
ing between the various funds will be
gone over. I do not care to say as to
who or what individuals the inquiry into
the one particular item / have spoken
of might involve. / am not indeed, pre-
pared to say that 1t will involve in

shape that it seems to me to warrant
FURTHER INVESTIGATION,
and I told the board that I was not pre-
pared to submit final report on the
prison finances yesterday. We talked
over the subject of the conflicting laws
at some length, and it was decided to Sc
cure advice from the attorney general
looking to the clearing UP of the tangle
before the next meeting of the board of
managers. l have, indeed, consulted the
attorney general, and he will prepare an
opinion as to the laws.
The present chief clerk at the prison is
George Bixby. brother of Tams Bixby,
the Red Wing editor and politician.
One result of the inquiry at the prison
seems to be the very evident exposure
of a superficiality Of examination to put
it as delicately as possible, on the part
of the Kenyon regime, which promises
to result in the discontinuance of the cry
of the Republican organs for the public
examiners official head, as there is be-
ing revealed motive for the attacks on
him in addition to the animus, previously
charged, his insistence on the closing of
a local bank few months ago.
The suggestion that w. P. Snow, who
had examined the books under the Ken
yon regime, be sent to accompany the
present deputy public examiner, H. G.
Koerner, en- his examination of the books,
as he was familiar with the books,
aroused not a little curiosity in some
quarters, especially after it became
known that the present Investigation
was showing the books to be peculiarly
kept. >--- ----"

involve individuals, as far as the inves-

was one item in particular which might
involve an individual which would be
given immediate attention.
Gen. Pope also called the attention of
the board to the fact that there are two
widely conflicting laws, approved on the
same date, in 1889, when the legislature
passed the prison act' and the "ac-
counting act" as they are known, both
being approved April "a Of that year.

Democrats of Pennsylvania Address
"a Memorial to Senator's.

MemOrIaI 10 senator's.
PITTSBURG, Pa, Dec 1.-The follow
ing memorial, addressed to the Democratic
members of the United States senate from
the executive committee of the Demo
cratic state committee, was made public
tonight. 1t gives reasons why NJ. s. Quay
should not be allowed to take his seat.
The Democratic executive committee
of Pennsylvania in meeting duly assem-
bled, respectfully submit the following
reasons against the seating of NJ. S. Quay
as appointed senator from Pennsylvania:
"A vacancy arose on March 4. 1889, in
the office of United States senator from
Pennsylvania by reason of the expiration
of the term of Nj. S. Quay. The Demo-
cratic members of the senate and house
of representatives of Pennsylvania unan-
imouslY. and more than one-third Of the
Republicans of the senate and general
assembly, constituting more than ma
jority, until adjournment voted against
the election of NJ. s. Quay for United
States senator He failed of election as
senator by the legislature of our state.
whereupon William A. Stone, governor
of Pennsylvania, undertook to appoint
him senator, Notwithstanding the proVi-
SionS of the constitution of PENNSYLVANIA,
article 2, section 4, which reads as fol-
lows: In case of vacancy in the office
of United States senator from this COM
monwealth during recess, the governor
shall assemble the two houses by proCla-
nation, to assemble with sixty days to
fill the Vacancy and the constitution of
the United States which thus provides in
article l, section g. and if any vacancy
happen by resignation or otherwise during
the recess of any legislature of the state;
the executive of the state may make a
temporary appointment until the next
meeting of the legislature, and notwith-
standing this vacancy in the office of
United States senator happened during
the session of the legislature of this state,
to-wit, March 4, 1899, and the legislature
adjourned April q, 1899, more than six
weeks after this vacancy occurred
I'VE respectfully appeal to you to op-
pose the seating of NJ. S. Quay, not only
on account of the legal and ronstitu-
tional reasons herein set forth, but be-
cause he is the head and leader of a
political machine which has continuous
ly, through the offlceholders elected by it,
violated the constitution of our state IN
refusing to make a senatorial and repre-
sentative apprtionment of our state: that
he has degraded our public life and de-
bauched our elections and passed cleo
ton laws that are but means of practic-
ing fraudulent voting and counting and
has denied the constitutional rights of
the people to vote for amendments to the
constitution necessary to secure the purity
of our elections"

Florida Woman

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Dec. 1.-The
sudden death last night. of Mrs. John d.
Williams, q well known and beautiful
young woman of this city, and the arrest
today of her husband on the charge of
murder, has caused tremendous sensa-
ton here
Today, after all arrangements had been
made for Mrs. Williams funeral, an or
der came from the coroner to hold the
body, as an autopsy would be held. This
action was taken by reason of certain
suspicious circumstances connected with
the death of Mrs. Williams that had
been brought to the attention of the
states attorney, Mr.. Hartpidge. Shortly
afterward a warrant was issued for the
arrest of John D.. Williams, the young
woman's husband, and he was soon ap-
pretended and placed in the county jail,
charged with the murder of his wife
The autopsy developed that Mrs. Will
liams came to her death by a violent
blow on the stomach, bursting the blad-
der and rupturing Sother vessels The
woman died in great agony. but made no
charges against any one.
The husband is said TO have uuarreled
with his wife about a week ago. He re-
fuses to talk, except to deny the murder.
