ALGER SHOULD RESIGN.
So Says the Mail and Express, an Adj.
ministration Organ.

New York Mail and Express
The eye of the Nation is at this moment
fixed upon Michigan. The Senatorial
contest in that State has reached point
where all effort to rob 1t Of national
significance becomes absurd. The con-
tention thai the fight is merely a ersonal
one between Senator Mcmillan, whose
term will expire in March, 1901. and SEQ
rotary Alger, who aims to succeed him,
is weak subterfuge. The administra-
ton cannot avoid embarrassment when
q prominent member of the President s
official family openly declares political
war upon the State leader who has made
himself lecu.iarly the representative and
champion in Michigan of the Presidents
policies. from the day of inauguration.
The election of the Legislature that is
to elect senator McMillan's successor &C.
ours simultaneously with the Presidential
election. Therefore. when the new Sena-
tor is chosen Mr.. McKinley-assu ming
his renomin atiou to be inevitable-will
already have been elected for second
term. OF course, Michigan's electoral
vote cannot be affected by the Satorial
tight and the consequent bitter factional
division in the Republican party there.
There is no good reason why Gen. Alger
should not seek q seat in the upper house
of Congress, and were he to make this
contest as one unattached officially to the
administration embarrassment to the lat
ter could easily be avoided.
That Is the rub. The Secretary should
resign. since he has declared his candi-
dacy. Good taste and party loyalty alike
demand 1t, and his vindication in the
matter of army scandals paves the way
smoothly. His failure to resign can only
mean that for the n,xt eighteen months
the President must stand by and sec his
Cabinet made the center of battle the
center OF which shonld be confined to the
borders of the State-a battle between
two forces equally loyal to him and two
men who assert equal allegiance to his
interests With Gen. Algsr a private
citizen, whatever assaults may be made
upon him during these eighteen months
will call for no recognition by the admin
istration. AS member Of the presiden-
tial family. 1t 10 vain to declare that such
assaults could bring no embarrass ment
to the adm nistration.
1t is up to the Secretary Of War. He
has had his ding at Cabinet fame, If not
at extreme Cabinet usefulness. 1t Is time
for him to either abandon his Senatorial
ambition to relinquiah his portfolio.
Any other coursa must lay him open to
the charge OF sacrificing party loyalty to
personal ambition.

The Boston Globe still continues to
urge the Hon. William II. Moody, of
Massachusetts,, for the Speakership of the
House of Representatives. There does not
seem to be much evidence that Mr..
Moody is pushing himself forward at all.
His BOOM" if it may be so called, is
evidently in the hands of friends and
ACC uaintances who admire his abilities
and believe that he has chance of sue
ceeding in the contest. The support
which he is getting is highly creditable
to him, especially as he has served only
two terms in the House. But in that
short time he has forged far to the front,
making himself master of the methods of
doing business in the House, and of the
subjects which have fallen within his
hne of work. AS a member of the great
committee on appropriations he has had
an opportunity for advancement, which
he as improved to the utmost. Whether
DR. not man so young in years and ser
vice may attain the Speakership is
question that will comprise many of the
difficulties in his way.

Ambassador White is hopeful that the
Hague conference will bear fruit, espec-
tally in the direction of popularizing ar
bitratlon, as Emeans of settling inter-
national disputes, and making naval war
fare more humane. He intimates that
some of the reports of Disagreement and

not unlikely, since the conference is held
behind closed doors, and what takes place

mouths before 1t reaches the newspapers.

Ex-Gov. Northen In his apology for
lynohing speaking of the negro's relation
to law says;
just as is the case with his franchise
SO the negro is as absolutely protected In
his life, liberty and property as is the
white man.
Ii the Ex-Governor had said that the ne.
ero's life and liberty: rs we'll
ash is franchise is we should assent. They
are, undoubtedly and not only as we'll but
a good deal better. His franchise Is not
protected at all. On the contrary he has
for the most part been deprived of 1t
either by force or fraud. Neither in his
franchise nor in his ''inalienable
rights is he so we'll protected rs the
white man though the differences in the
case of the latter is not so great rs In the
case of the former. 1t is useless to under
take to say that white law breakers are
treated with the same harshness as the
South as black ones even when they are
guilty of the crime Of rape. Hatred Of his
race In the case of the black criminal is
added to hatred of his crime aud very
materially hoightens the vengeance that
Is wreaked upon him. Nor is 1t true that
it is only for the crime of rape that the
negro is lynched. A considerable per
cent of the lynchiugs are for other cri mes
and sometimes as in the case of the post
master at Lake City, South Caroline, for
no crime at all. The facts are too patent
for anybody to undertake to claim that
the negro is lynched for one crime only
or that the same justice is melted out to
him as to the white man. Gov. Northen
says the lynohings will stop when the
outrages stop. But as gooo many Of
them have occurred where there have
been no outrages at all, manifestly this
answer cannot be accepted as trustworthy.
There was no outrage at Lake City at
all. Yet the colored postmaster was as
sassinated and his child riddled with bull
lets. No outrage was committed by
the minister who in Gov. Northern q
own city of Atlanta denounced the tiend-
ish cruelty of the mob that burned Sam
Hose Yet the minister was threatened
with assassination and his church des.
ecrated 1t Is useless to undertake to
claim thaqall Southern violence originates
simply in hatred of crime. Race hatred
has quite as much to do with 1t in
many ca seq, and in some far more.

The negotiations at Manila have rs yet
reached no definite result though 1t can
be confidently predicted, we think, that
eventually they will bring about the sur
render of the insurgent army and the
establishment of peace for time at least.
The commissioners have evidently been
authorized to modify Gen. Otis's demand
for unconditional surrender for they are
making some very important concessions.
The Filipinos are promised tpart in the
government Immediately and they are
assured, that their participation shall In.
crease as they give evidence Of ability and
capacity to govern. The scheme OF gov
eminent outlined by the commissioner
seems to look to self government at; come
time in the future though of course they
have not authority to make definite
promise of that kind since it is the
province of congress to determine, the
character and duration of our control Of
the islands 1t Is clear enough that the
commission ers are making more conces-
sions than were contained in the Presi.

compelled to surrender Internationally

The secret drinkcr is no doubt injured
III the same way as others, and his foolish
efforts TO conceal this act intensi6es fine
injury, which after time breaks ont in
some unexpected form, ending fatally.
The sudden, unexpected death of persons
previously supposed to be well. has in
many cases revealed the fact of secret

with destruction Of vitality and general
decadence. Life insurance companies are
often aware o. this fact, and appeal for
help, but it is exceedingly difficult to con.
Wet or prove secret drinking in man
with large insurance, and more difficult
after death to bring out this fact. The
law in these cases will seldom allow pre-
sumptive evidence; il must be direct and
positive OF the use of spirits. Unmistak-
