OUT HE GOES.

Alger will retire from the cabinet.
His resignation has been placed in the
hands of the President and will be ac-
cepted. His resignation following so
closely his declaration that he would
not GO out Of the cabinet at all, or that
he would not retire this year, and that
under no circumstances would he retire
"under fire." would indicate that some
thing unexpected has turned up.
While his resignation has been de-
sired, it was generally believed that
Mr.. Alger would not go until he was
ready. Whether he was forced out or
whether his resignation was voluntary
is of little concern to the American
people, since he is out. Had he gone a
year ago, or better still, had he never
been called to the war department at
all, how much better would it have
been for the American people. His
unfitness for the position was manifest
from the start, and nothing but the
deep political obligation Of the Presi-
dent for his valuable services in 1896,
kept him there. Mr.. Alger may not
be alone responsible for the general
mismanagement of the war department
and the many scandals arising during
the war with Spain, but if he is not,
now that he has resigned, he is at
liberty to fix the blame where it be-
longs.

PRESIDNT MCKINLEY
to Have Policy, and the Policy
Outlined.
New York Journal

New York Journal
Do you know, Mr.. Mckinley, what
has been the cause of all your and our
troubles in the Philippines?
1t has been that you have never
known your own mind, that you never
have gone rosolutely ahead upon a
straightforward, definitely thought-out
policy, but have drifted from day to
day, trying to please everybody and
pleasing nobody.
1t is too late to undo the evils that
have already followed this disastrous
timidity, but it is not too late to stop
engendering more. Wake up, Mr.. Nc
Kinley, make up your mind that we
are in the Philippines to stay, and take
your measures accordingly.
II we are undertaking permanent
occupation for the joint benefit of the
Filipinos and ourselves, and not for a
mere devastating raid, two things are
necessary-the means OF crushing arm
ed opposition and such good govern.
ment for the parts Of the country under
our control that the disatfected natives
cannot help seeing the benefits of our
rule.
To crush the opposition we need
three things-plenty of soldiers, good
General and good means of communi
cation. We are beginning to get the
first, after waiting six months too long
but the others are still to come.
Send a General, Mr.. Mckinley. Dc
you remember the campaign in Puerto
Rico, with what skill and celebrity II
was conducted, and how one strong
hold after another fell into our hands
with hardly the loss of a man on oul
side? Do you remember who carried
on that campaign. Why don't yor
send Miles to the Philippines
And instead of letting our soldiers
struggle through swamps and jungles
swim rivers and sink to their waists In
mud, why don't you set the unemploy
ed natives at work building roads ant
railroads wherever our forces pene'
trate so that we can hold the territory
we capture. A thousand miles OF rail
road could be built for the cost of two
months of war, and a thousand miles o
railroad would restore peace.
Finally, Mr.. Mckinley, why dom
you give the regions under our contro

WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE.

The Cleveland Leader commenting
on the resignation OF Mr.. Alger and
the causes which led to it, in semi
apologetic way, says
There has been disposition to hold
the secretary responsible for all the
mistakes made in the mobilization,
transportation and provisioning of the
volunteer army during the war with
Spain, when, as matter of fact, the
civilian commanders who were APP
pointed by the governors OF states be-
cause OF political considerations were
chiefly to blame, the rest OF the re-
sponsibllity properly belonging to con-
gress, which persistently refused TO
United States. We believe Secretary
Alger did the very best he was capable
of doing under very trying circum-
stances.
The Leader is probably right when it
says: "There has been disposition to
hold the secretary responsible for all
ahe mistakes, etc." but it does not help
matters in its attempt to shift the
blame on 'the civilian commanders
who were appointed by the Governors
of States because OF political considera-
lions"
1t has been apparent from the begin.
ming that political considerations
controlled the entire war department
from the President who is Commander,
in-Chief, down to the Governors ol
States who appointed the "civilian com

The Chicago Record: "While Otis
should have been attending to military
affairs he has been devoting himself
to the work of editing cablegrams and
keeping the public in this country in
ignorance OF the facts. The inference
is unavoidable that either Gen. Otis or
his superiors at Washington are afraid
OF the truth, and afraid not for military
reasons, but for political considerat-
ions. 1t Is due to the censorship that
hardly soul in the United States TO-
day knows what is going on in the
Philippines, where American interests,
American honor and American lives
are at stake"
Pittsburg Post (Dem.): every line
of censure that attaches to Gen. Otis
in his deliberate purpose to falsify the
situation, and even by Interpolation and
excision compel the correspondents
to certify to falsehood or suppress
facts, belongs as we'll to the Mckinley
Alger administration at home. In this
censorship Otis acted under the orders
or with the approval OF the administra-
tion. The administration was warned
that a Weyler censorship at Manila
would be prolific in disaster and humil-
iation.
Buffalo Courier: "They (the CORE
spondents) represent papers which are
| friendly to the administration, so that
their only reason for criticising. Gen.
OTIS censorship is their desire to get
the true facts before the people, which
every conscientious newspaper writer
regards as his duty to the public. A
statement from such source cannot
be lightly disregarded, and the com.
motion at Washington Is as great as
when Gen. Roosevelt and the other Off.
GERS in Cuba sent their famous round
robin demanding the removal of the
troops to the north"
The Pittsburg Dispatch (Rep.)
"With regard to this peculiar develop
ment the correspondents testify to The
oppressive, un-American and untruth-
| full results of the enforcement OF the
censorship at the Manila end. But they
cannot testify that in doing this Otil
was not carrying out the policy OF the
administration. The fact is that Otis
policy OF not letting the truth be knowr
was in accord with the policy at Wash
ington."
