THIS IS FUNNY.

According to Senator w. E. Chandler, the
safety of the Republican party lies in bi.netal-
ism He says the party must adhere to the
platform, and must oppose trusts
We have believed that the Republicans
would finally repudiate their gold-standard dec
laratiors-that is, as soon as the spectators
had cornered silver by buying up the silver
mines. A silver trust is now being formed.
As soon as these spectators are ready, they
will begin to agtate the reconciliation OF sill
yer, naming the ratio When this is done, the
Republicans will declare in favor of silver, and
will swear they never opposed it; that they
were always in favor of free coinage. This is
in line with their fight { p on trusts. The Re-
publican managers see that the people are
against them, and they are fastening to line up
on the opposite side from which they have been
standing. The fact is, they are scared. The
antics of these fellows are very amusing.

AtWater and Alcohol,

There was recently printed I'm one Of
the New York papers and extensively
copied throughout the country a state
ment purpOrting to come from w. O.
Atwater, professor of chemistry in
Wesleyan university, relative to the
results of an extended investigation
which he had conducted touching the
TEN. In the course of this statement
Professor Atwater was made to affirm
that alcoholic liquor taken in moder-
ate quantity, is not injurious but on
the contrary, beneficial to the system"
and that it could be so taken without
any harmful results.
When this article was brought by a
gentleman residing in Middletown, y.
Y, to Professor Atwater's attention the
professor wrote and the Middletown
Daily Press of June 20 published the
following letter, which is interesting
from both a scientific and "A moral

Alger Must Go.

The statement of Governor Pngrcc
outlining his attitude with reference to
President Mckinley makes plain that
in his itch for senatorial honors. the
present secretary of war has made an
alliance with an enemy of his own
chief. There is nothing in such con-
duct out Of keeping with the pubIic's
estimate of Russell 4. Alger. The
man who would violate the sanctity of
personal correspondence and make pub

1t ha: for some time been manifest
that large majority of the American
people, without regard to politics, have
so far lost confidence in Secretary AL
ger that they have viewed his contin-
uance in office with growing impatience
and looked forward with increasing
eagerness tn the moment of his inevi-
table retirement. This fact is fully
understood by both Secretary Alger
and President Mckinley. The former
has chosen TO exhibit toward this pub
lie sentiment a spirit of irritable brav-
ado. The latter. animated by a mis-
placed sense of personal loyalty.
though aware Of AlGcrs unfitness, pre-
fers to shield him and generously takes
unto himself the criticism and the
blame. We call this loyalty misplaced
because it is not deserved. BY his own
acts Secretary Alger shows that he is
incapable of appreciating it; that il rep
resents fneness of character unfami-
liar to him and beyond his powers Of
comprehension. ON the political side,
moreover, it is dangerous as well as
unfair To the public interests which
Alger's retention as source of irrita-
tion, intrigue and disturbance in the
war department sacrifices.
The time has now come in the varic-
gated history of this peculiar cabinet
episode when public opinion must be
considered and respected. If Alger will
not go voluntarily he must be invited
10 go. The people have grown sick
of him and they will not longer tolerate
him even to please man they admire

Time for Kruger to Come Down.

The speech made at Birmingham on
Monday night by Joseph Chamberlain,
British secretary of state for the colo

ultimatum to the Beers. Mr.. Cham

with President Kruger. but all it's ad-
NanCcs had been received with con-
tempt, After dcnouncing Boer methods
in language of exceptional severity Mr..
Chamberlain said: -Four times since
independence was granted we have
been on the verge of war with the
Transvaal, j. is erroneous to say the
British government wants war; but it
is equally erroneous to say that the
government will draw back now that it

the efforts that arc now being made

The Roosevelt Doctrine.

The remarkable series of ovations
rendered to Colonel Theodore Roose-
welt on his journey to and from New
Mexico was something more than a
popular tribute to a successful soldier
Although partly that, 1t was more
broadly. an outpouring of public ap-
probation of a courageous personality
dedicated to the public service on hon
est impulses Not merely as the soldier
nor as the administrator does Roose-
welt appeal to the public imagination,
but in his multifarlous capacity as an
all-round man. We got the true note
in Roosevelts character in the follow
ing extract from one of the numerous
five minute speeches which he made in
response to "hold-ups" along the line:
"The Rough Riders did their duty at
the front. They did 1t because they were
honest, because they were square. Now,
II you expect honesty and squareneSS on
| the part Of your soldiers, why shouldn't
you expect 1t of the men that you put IN
Office? The worst foe that the interests
| of this country have today is the man
who gets into office and then is accounted
smart because hC steals ana is dishonest.
| His dishonesty is overlooked, perhaps
because he has got n public building for
| your town or has done something else
| Tor you, while at the same time he was
untrue to you and to himself
Let mo tell you a little story to H.
| lustrate this: When had a cattle ranch
| in Montana ! hired a man to work for
me- We went out on the ranch one day
and came upon Il maverick which had
straycd from ncighboring ranch to my
| own. This man of mine tumbled the
| maverick over and started to apply my
brand TO It. Said /:
| "'What are you doing"
"'Oh am just rustling.' he said.
"'Are you going 20 put my brand on
| that maverick"
| "'NeS'
"'You go up to the ranchhouse' said
| TO him, and get your time tonight. I
| dent want to have anything to do with
I you. If you will steal for mo you will
steal from me-
Now, the point I want to make for
you people and AL the everyday citizens
of this country is that the public official
who will steal for you will steal from
| you, and that tho great work TO be done
| on your part now is to sCrutnize the
| characters of the men you elect to Of
| flee and insist that they shall he sCrupu-
| lously honest in all their public as well
! as their private dealings"
! The American people at heart believe
| In this doctrine, whether they are care
! full to practice it on all occasions or
not; and the man who does practice
| it fearlessly is pretty sure of their re-
| speCt.
