How to Build a Town

The best way TO build up town is
to stand by every man in the place who
is trying to do right and shows public
tendency to promote the business in
terests of the town. Whenever man
is doing well do not to try to tear him
down if his business is respectable and
legal. All residents should he partners
for the best interests of the community
and not opponents. Every business
man who treat his customers honestly,
cautiously and fairly will get his share
aud the more business that can be
secured by united effort the better il
will be for all, When a town ceases to
grow it begins to die, aud the more
people try to kill each other in bushes 5
the mcre tpidly will utter ruin come
to all. Stand together for the advance
ment of every deserving citizen. If II
man shows ability to prosper do not
pull Linn back through jealousy o.
weigh him down through cold indiifer-
ence. Ripley News.

So many more or less prominent ~
publicans have gone to Washington of
late with substantially the same story
about Col. Bryan's popularity in the
west, that it is practically certain that
these men are working in concert try
ing to prevent Col, Bryan being nomi-
mated for president by the democrats.
Whether they are doing this under in
structions from the republican leaders,
who are known to fear Col, Bryan's
candidacy, or in the interests of the
handful of eastern democrats, who, al
though they can not pledge single
electoral vote, are also trying to pre-
vent Col. Bryan's nomination, is moi
entirely clear, but that they are spread,
ing the story with a purpose is as clear
as anything can be-as clear as the
falsity of the story, for instance.

The law very plainly says that in the
absence of both the secretary and as
sistant secretary of war, the general
commanding the army shall be acting
secretary of war. Alger and his assis-
tant have both been away since Friday.
and the result was the absolute suspen-
sion of all public business requiring
the signature or action of the secretary
OF war, although Gen. Miles was in his
Office in the state war and navy depart
ment building each day prepared to
perform the duties of secretary of war.
Adjutant-G General Corbin said that
Gen. Miles was acting secretary of war,
but as q matter of fact from Friday I'M
til Monday, Gen. Miles did not sign a
single paper as acting secretary, al
though there must have been hundreds
relating to routine matters, requiring
the secretarys signature. 1t was an
other added to the many unnecessary
sights put upon Gen. Miles by Secre-
tary Alger and the willing tools with
which he has surrounded himself in the
war department. Although the law
says that Gen. Miles should have been
acting secretary of war during those
three days Alger, assuming himself
greater than the law, said that there
should be no secretary of war during
that period, and his word was obeyed,
regardless of cost or Inconvenience, and
all business held up to await hisreturn.

Ex-senator Dubois says that if the
republican platform comes out square
ly for the gold standard, as now seems
likely, it will elect Bryan by republi-
can votes; that he knows of thousands
who voted the republican ticket in '96,
solely because of the promise to bring
about wider use for silver, who will
under no circumstances vote gold
standard ticket. Mr.. Dubois says he
regards it as certain that the republi-
can platform will contain as strong an
antitrust plank as the democratic plat
form, but thinks the individual voter
should have no doubt as to which party
will really combat the trusts. Mr. Du-
bois also says that he is certain the
tickets will be headed next year by
Bryan and Mckinley, as in 90.

Alger Resigns.

Washington, July 10. - Secretary
Alger today rendered to the president
his Resignation of the war portfolio.
The resignation will become effective
August LIST, though it was rendered ''at
the pleasure Of the president"
Gossip has begun already as to his
successor, but is entirely speculative,
for Notwithstanding the reports that
Mr., Alger would not long continue at
the head of the war department, his
actual resignation came suddenly and
unexpectedly That it would come by
the end of the year was generally be-
lieved, but so little was it expected al
this time that some of the cabinet off
GERS, when the news first became pub
lie, were inclined to regard the announce
ment as premature, the announcement
that it was actually in hand coming to
them in the nature of a surprise.
Formal acceptance of the resignation
had not been made by the president up
to a late hour tonight, but will be in a
letter to be written within the next day
or two. No official statement as to the
cause of the resignation was procurable
either from the president or from Sec
rotary Alger, neither Of whom would
talk on the subject. Nor was the letter
of resignation obtainable at this time.
For the present nothing will be made
known officially concerning the sever
ance of the official relations between
the president and his war minister, but
later on the official correspondence,
closing the latter's career as chief OF
the war department, doubtless will be
given to the press.
The belief had prevailed in Washing
ton for some time that Secretary Algel
would resign from the cabinet, but the
date generally set for it was toward the
close of the year after he had submit
ted his annual report, in which he in
tended to sum upwhat had been accom-
plished during hi, brief but eyentful
direction of the war department. Its
tender then had been regarded as al
most foregone conclusion in view OF
Mr.. Ayers announcement about g
month ago that he had concluded to en-
ter into competition for the vacancy in
the United States senate to be caused
by the expiration OF the term of Sena-
tor Mcmillan, strong supporter of the
administrator, and that he had enlisted
in his active support Governor Pingree
to who had been attributed free crit.
cisms Of the policy that was supposed
to be cherished by the president toward
the Filipinos. There have been many
explanations and denials of the facts il
that case, but in the end the impression
was conveyed that the result Of the
Michigan visit of the secretary had
been to change the relations between
the president and himself to such de-
gree as to render the connection of the
two as part of the same official family
undesirable.

As though his announcement of his
determination to remain in the cabinet
until aftey the first of next January
were not humiliation enough for Mr..
Mckinley, Secretary Alger has actually

denying that he would like to have
