CALLS ON ALGER TO RETIRE
LFrom the New York Sun.l


In the case OF the Hon. Russell A
Alger, secretary of war in President
McKinley's cabinet, there are certain
considerations of delicacy which can
not fail to impress any mind capable
of correct perception and clear fore
sight.
Mr. AIger has decided to transfer his
activities from the administrative to the
legislative field of usefulness. His am
bition to be senator from Michigan is
entirely legitimate and laudable.
To further his candidacy Mr.. Alger has
formed an open and avOwed partner
ship with a political DOtentate in his
own state, nOminally a. Republican. but
really a strange blend of the POpulst,
the expansionist, the Chicago plat
form statesman, and the boss with
large and heterogeneous personal follow
ing. If Governor Pingree is indeed
Republican, in regard to all the great
issues that will enter into the next
presidential election, then Mr. McKin-
ley is something else.
In making this arrangement with
Pingre3 Mr.. Alger is likewise within the
bounds of indiSputable prOpriety. For
it appears that in the person of his new
associate he not only gains the valuable
support of a fOrceful boss with a num-
erOus following, but also discovers a pO-
Iitical philosopher with some of whose
convict tiOns on important subjects he is
already in full sympathy.
Nobody will question Mr.. Alger's right
to accept the Pfngree creed in whole or
IN part II his dQuESlOu TO the same IS
sincere. his position will be perfectly re-
spectacle while he is running for sena-
tor
But as Mr. AIger. not as Secretary
Alger.
A membe of the Mckinley admins
tration an associate and adviser of the
president. has no more business to be
in political alliance with Pingree than
with Bryan. The impOssibility of the sit
uation, is already apparent. Governor
Pingree's almost daily declarations of
utter hostility to the administration s
policy, in terms exceedingly con-
temptuOus and insulting are compelling
on alternate days explanation from Mr..
AIger that must be about as humiI-
iating to the secretary as they are am
noyine. to his chief.
With such a running mate as Pingree
AIr Atger has undertaken to make the
race and to defeat If he can the re-elec-
tion OF one of the administration $
stanchest supporters in the United
States senate.
It is quite conceivable that Secretary
Alger has been deluding himself with
the idea that he can cOnsOrt with Pin
gree in a local way in Michigan and for
his own personal purposes, without in
VOIVing the administration or damaging
the cause which the administration rep
resents.
That thing can be done by Mr.. AIger,
but it can not be done by Secretary Al
ger.
From all Of which we conclude that
the appropriate time for Hon. Russell A.
Alger'a resignation as secretary Of war
has now arrived.

It is shown IN the latest reports from
the commercial agencies that there is a
steady continuance of the boom which
the business interests of this country
have been enjoying for some time. The
six months of this year that have pass
ed have established a record for volume
and activity of business. There have
been fewer business failures in those
months than in the corresponding per-
iod OF any one of the past II years, and
the Liabilities are smaller than in the
same periods of any year since 1881.
The iron trade is so rushed with orders
that it cannot keep up with them. There
is delay in the ship-buildlng industry
because steel plates cannot be turned

better prices for their products than
they have been getting in a number of

ALTGELD EXPLAINS.
Says His Fight with Mayor Harrison
Is Not Personal One.

Lincoln, Ill. July 5-A month ago
former Mayor Tugnbolt wrote to Mayor
Carter Harrison Of Chicago and former
Governor John P. A1tgeld asking that
they settle their differences outside
their political party in the interest OF
party harmony.
When Mr.. Harrison replied he gave
his answer to the press, but Mr.. Alt
geld's letter was not made public until
today. The latter, which Mr.. Turnbolt
makes public with the consent OF Mr.
Altgeld, follows:
Answering your favor of May %
will say that there are no personal DIFF
ferences existing between Mr.. Harrison
and myself. I am endeavoring to main
tain Democratic principles and to have
the Democratic party stand by the
great principle which it enunciated in
1896 and which practically amount TO
new declaration of American independ-
ence, while the Harrison city machine
has been carrying on negotiations with
the corrupt Tammany leaders of New
York with a view of making the Demo-
cratic party stand for nothing but an
appetite.
''The Republican managers of the
country believe that with Mr.. Harrison
they can destroy the Democratic party
and hence they have been giving him
their support
, In the last city election we witness
ed this queer spectacle. Six great Re
publican papers abandoned their own
candidate and supported Mr.. Harrison,
ing on advices from Washington, aban-
doned the Republican candidate and al
lowed every thing to drift to Mr.. Har-
risOu.
''The result was that, according to the
Chicago Times Herald and according to
Mr.. Harrison's own statement, he re-
ceived upwards of 10000 Republican
votes: that is. just one-half Of mis- total
vote consisted of Republicans.
f'At the same time between $4,000 and
4O, 900 Democrats who felt that L could
not be elected and also were determined
to defeat Mr.. Harrison, because he was
not a Democrat, voted the Republican
ticket; so, as the matter stands today,
Mr. Harrison was made mayor, not by
the Democrats, but by the Republicans,
for the express purpose, or, at least with
the hope, of destroying the Democratic
party in 1900 by again prostituting it
and bringing it down to the low stand
ard of New York politics.
"Of course, when the party lines are
again drawn, as they will be in the nat
ional campaign, these Republicans will
not stand by Mr.. Harrison.
In my humble judgment the Demo-
cratic party can and will succeed IL 1t
is true to its higher nature, but it can
and will be defeated if it goes to prac-
ticing rat hole politics.
