THE PRESIDENTS INDIRECT METH

Either the President is lacking in firm
ness of character or else he is Very soft
hearted. There appears TO be plenty of
evidence to sustain the statement that
Gen. Alger said to the President several
times that he could have his resignation at
any time he wanted it. The President, il
seems always said that he saw no reason
why Gen. Alger should resign, and ex-
pressed himself satisfied TO have him re-
main in charge of the war department. II
may be that he was sincere in letting Gen.
Alger think that he would stand by him,
however severe the attacks of the newspa-
pers and the politicians on him might be-
come, but if the story which has appeared
in some of the administration journals is
correct he had been anxious for Gen Al
gers resignation for a considerable time
before he received it.
But if he wanted it why didn't he tell
Gen. Alger that he had become greater
burden than the administration could car
ry with any degree of ease? That would
have been the right course to pursue. In
| stead of doing that, so the story goes, he
sent Attorney General Griggs to Long
Branch to get Vice President Hobart to
send for Gen. Alger and inform him that
the President wanted his resigna ton. Gen.
! AIger would have been much better salts
fed if the President had dealt with him
in frank and straightforward way, and
the President would have been better sat
isfed with himself.
! The truth about the resignation is doubt
less that the Presiden. didn't call for il on
| account of any mismana cement Of the
war department, but because Senator Nc
MILAN of Michigan demanded it, and be-
cause Gen. Alger had formed a political
partnership with Gov. Pingree of that
/ state Politics within the Republican fold
was the cause of the demand for his resig-
nation. Senator Mcmillan is a strong sup
/ ported of the administration, and just as
soon as Gen. Alger announced that he was
a candidate for McMillans place in the
| Senate. the latter demanded that he be re-
quired 70 get out of the cabinet. And the
! President. too, felt that ne had a grievance
against Gen. Alger for forming a political
alliance with Pingree, who is known to be
| opposed TO the Presidents denomination.
! If Gen. Alger had kept out of Michigan
politics it is probable that he would have
remained in the cabinet until he got ready
10 get out of it.

An Emerald Green Traveller.

from the Emerald Isle bought a ticket az

the 12;45 train for Bryn Mawr, says the
Philadelphia Record. When the train
came along the ticket examiner called
out the stations it stopped at, but the girl
sat still After the train passed the ticket
man asked the girl where she wanted to
go. "Bryn Mawr, if you please, sor, -
she replied THAT was your train l just

will be another along at 11S." When the
next train came the stations We're called

THE CASE OF p. J. DEvLIN.

II We understand the facts in the case Of
P. J. Delvin. the editor OF the press bu-
reau of the Democrat, National Commit
tee the Harrison faction in Chicago has
no great reason for rejoicing at the ac-
ton Of the COMMITTEE. IN that case If jus
ticc had been done the committee would
have had nothing further % do with Mr..
Deviin. What was his onense? In the mum
icipal election in Chicago last spring there
Were three tickets. There was a regular
Republican ticket, q regular Democratic
ticket and an Independent Democratic tick
ct. Mayor Harrison was the regular Dem
ocratc candidate for Mayor ana ex-Gov.
AItgeld. who had bolted the regular Dem
ocrauc convention. was the Independent
Democratic candidate for Mayor.
There was great deal OF feeling between
the Harrison and the Alleged Democrats.
The day before the election it was pub
Ished in all Of the Chicago papers that
the Democratic National Committee ia
vored the election Of ex-Gov. Altgeld. The
publication was made, it was alleged, on
the authority of Mr.. Devlin, who was rep
resenung the committee in Chicago as the
editor of its press bureau. 1t was we'll
known that Mr. Devlin favored Mr.. Alt
geld and as he made no contradiction Of
the statement that he mad authorized the
publication. st was accepted that the ma
tional committee favored the election OF
Mr.. Alleged. As a matter of fact Mr., Dew
lin did write the article in which the state
ment was made that the committee want
ed Mr. Altgeld elected but it seems he
didn't send II OUT as press bureau matter
Nevertheless it got out, and had the same
effect as if ii had been sent out by the
chairman of the Democratic National
Committee.
Naturally the Harrison Democrats of
Chicago were greatly embittered against
the Democratic National Committee. As
a matter of fact the committee had Moth
ing whatever 10 do with the publication.
Mr. Deviu was wholly responsible for it,.
lie involved the committee in the fight
of the factions in Chicago
The national committee should have dis
missed him at once as soon as it discovered
what he had done. 1t is not going to dis
miss him. il has simply chosen a COM
mittee to supervise his work. He boasts in
a card to the public that he is stiH in full
charge of The press bureau. The commit
tee may have acted wisely, but it seems
to us that it didn't do justice TO the Har-
rison faction in failing to discharge Mr..
Devnn. The offense of which he was gull
ty was one that ought not 10 have been
treated lightly. He wasn't true TO the
trust reposed in him. and the failure of the
committee TO deal with him as he ought
| to have been dealt with will have the ef-
feet of intensifying the enmity between
the Chicago factions

THE ST. JULIAN STREET PAVE


It is evident from an inspection of the
brick pavement put down around the mar
ket some time ago, that great care and
skin will have to be exercised in putting
down the brick pavement which is to be
laid on that section of St. Julian street
between Whitaker street and the market
if il is to be at ali satisfactory. The
pavement around the market shows de
pressions in places though it has not been
very long since it was put down. The
reason for these depressions is not an
parent to the casual observer, though it
is known probably to brick pavement
expert 1t may be that the sand was
not hardened evenly when the bricks were
laid or it may be the foundation of the
pavement has been undermined in places
by water percolating through the joints
OF the pavement. The cause. whatever It
is, should be discovered, so that a similar
trouble in the St Julian pavement can
be guarded against.
A brick pavement. as soon as il loses
its evenness, begins to wear rapidly. and
in a short time has to be repaired. If
laid with care and Judgment, however. it
will last a long time without being re-
paired. The brick pavements on Haber-
sham and Abercorn streets are standing
the heavy traffic on them very well. Thus
far they have given satisfaction. They
have disappointed those who held the
opinion that a brick pavement on foun-
dalton of sand would not be lasting.
There will be a very great deal Of traffic
on the st. Julian street pavement. II Il
stands It. public sentiment in the direc-
lion of brick as a paving material will
be greatly strengthened. 1t win not be
as easy matter to pave with brick that
portion of the street between the car
tracks so that it viii not quickly become
uneven, because there is no elasticity to
the ties which support the rails. The
brick pavement is likely TO sink in the
spaces between the ties, and become un-
even, just as the Belgian block pavement
between the street car rails, has Tn
less some means are adopted to prevent
this unevenness the pavement will pre-
sent very unattractive appearance in
a very little while after 1t is laid.

1t is stated that the brewers of the Unit
ed States last year consumed 10000 bags
of rice, of $40 pounds each, costing them
not less than $1,75o,00o in the aggregate.
Native planters, however derived but little
if any benefit from this consumption of
rice, since brewers rice comes principally
from British Burmah and sells in this
country for about IS per bag, The duty
on brewers rice is h-cent per pound, and
on table rice . cents per pound. Speaking
of the use Of the rice in brewing an expert
says: Hops, malt aud rice in the proper
ton Of two-thirds hops and malt and one
third rice yields a grade of beer that can
not be surpassed. When rice is used in beer
the Intoxicating quality is much reduced
and the article is nourlshing. Rice is used
largely in making fine export and bottled
beers, Cor it adds tone, iishtens the color,
and gives better keeping qualities"
