Boston Kisses Alger,

That was a somewhat uncomfortable
experience which Secretary Alger was
obliged to endure yesterday in Boston,
when he was Kissed by the throng
While being escorted through the
streets of that city, as one of it's guests,
in company with President Mckinley.
Perhaps the people of Boston did not
display a high order of good manners
in their exhibition of dislike of the
secretary of war, on so important an
occasion; but that is point in ethics
which Boston is more capable of de-
termining than any other community
in the country-at least she would
undoubtedly lay claim to superiority on
that head if driven to the wall
But, good manners aside, it was a
wholesome incident in more ways than
enc. If 1T bad occurred in Atlanta, or
Savannah, or Macon, Ca, it would have
been taken up at once by the admins
ira ton press Of the North as an indi-
cation of lingering spirit of disloyal-
ty to the Union. At any rate that is
the way Ayers friends would have
tried to copstrue it. But, thanks to
the sentiment of hospitality ever pre-
occurred throughout the presidents
recent visit there, accompanied by Gen.
Alger, that could by any hook or crook
be interpreted as an evidence of dis
respect for the administration or any
representative thereof. But this Incl
dent occurred in Boston, and the force
of the rebuke to this pretentious off
cial is all the more expressive and po-
tent.
While it is, perhaps. none of the bust
ness of Democratic newspaper what
Republican president may do calcu-
lated to lower the standard of his adj
miniStra ton, it is not pleasant to the
sensibilities of self-respecting people to
realize that there is a man at the head
Of one of the great executive depart
ments of the government whose Often
siveness is so pronounced that he can
not pass through the principal streets
OF a city celebrated for its observance
of the highest virtues, morally and po-
litically, without encountering ribald
5eers from those who compose the
masses.
The most wholesome feature of the
incident exists in the fact that Alger
and Algerism are appreciated, in Bos-
ton, at their true worth. 1t must be
plain to Mr.. Mckinley, hereafter, that
he ought no longer to tolerate the pres
ence oe this objectionable person at his
council board. The country would feel
better We're he not there. Every fam
lily having a representative among our
volunteers would be eased in it's appre-
tensions for those who are absent IF
the inefficient secretary of war were
retired and his place filed by some
one in whom the public have conf
dence. The odor of "embalmed beef
will envelope the military establish
ment so long as Alger is in control

The speech. Of itself. was not of the

Down in the east of London a lucrative

her services she receives a percentage on the
