THE welcome news comes from
Washington that Secretary Alger
has finally decided to tender his res
ignat'on of the war portfolio. If Mr..
Mckinley had taken matters in his
own hands and bounced" the Sec
rotary some time ago, the chances of
his being bounced" himself when
the next Presidential election rolls
around would not be near so great.
The manner in which Secretary
Alger conducted the affairs of his
Office from the very beginning,
stamped him as an altogether in
competent official and utterly unfit
for the position. While his resigna-
ton will be gladly received by every
one, the damage he has done can
never be repaired.

SECRETARY ALGER QUITS.
viii Lay Down His Cabinet Work
August |.
The Secretary surprises Even Those
who Expected His Resignation
Later by Handing IL to
the President.

WASHINGTON, July l9.-Secretary
Alger to-day rendered to the Presi-
dent his resignation of the war port
folio. The resignation will become
effective Aug. |, though it was te"-
dered lat the pleasure of the Presi
dent"
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 sudden
ly aud Unexpectedly. That it would
come by the end Of the year was
generally believed, but 81 little was
1t expected at this time, that some
of the Cabinet officers, when the
news first became public, were in
clinod to regard the announcement
as premature, the announcement
that it was actually in hand coming
to them in the nature of surprise.
Among the names which have
been mentioned from time to time,
when talk of Secretary Ayers forth
coming resignation was rife, were
those of Gen. Horace Porter, of New
York, now Ambassador to France I;
Gov. Roosevelt, of New York; Gen.
Harrison Gray Otis AND, Assistant
Secretary Meiklejohn.

THE article on our front page in
regard to pensions furnishes some
very interesting and startling facts.
1t is not commonly known that the
enormous amount expended by this
Government annually for pensions
exceeds the amount expended by
any other six nations for the same
purpose, and that, too, where the
armies of other nations are many
times larger and their wars have
been much greater in number than
ours. 1t costs $4,000 more TO pay
the pensioners of this country than
il does to maintain the entire stand
ing army of Great Britain. Aud
still the number Of pensioners in
creases annually, while the Grand
Army posts are elamoring for more
liberal laws, and the pension loot
ers are doing all they can to beat
the present laws.

THE effort that is being made to
establish a male school here should
meet with the appreciation of every
citizen of the town and county. And,
more than that, those who are able
should lend financial aid to the
movement and do all they can to
make the school a success. A male
school is something that Columbia
has sorely needed for long time,
and there can be no better time than
now to establish one.

THE new paper correspondents at
Manila have made an open protest
against Gen. Otis for his rigid CEN
sorship Of the press dispatches tell
ing of the situation in the Philip
pines The correspondents aver that
the evident purpose of the cen
sorship was not to keep Information
from the enemy, but to keep from
the public IA knowle dye Of the real
condition of affairs there. The cor
respondents further assert that SINH
lar statements to those which they
are forbidden to cable are permitted
to be published in newspapers at
Manila, which reach the enemy
quickly. This confirms the state
ment which THE HERALD has made
several times before-that the peO-
pie of this country were being kept
in ignorance of the facts concerning
the war in the Philippines. We,
the people of America, have right
to know what our army and navy
are doing; and Gen. Otis policy IN
throttIing the press should be
stongly condemned by everyone. A
policy or plan or movement of the
army before the same is executed, is
a proper subject for press censorship;
but a battle fought, whether victory
or defeat comes to our side, is infor-
nation the American people have a
right to know; and the freedom OF
the press is as dear right to the
people as freedom itself; and il any
other general than one of ours should
attempt to throttle the press of this
country, it would be caSus beLLi
that would call to arms every patri-
otto son who loves a republican form
of government.

The Phoenix Bank.

A statement showing the condition
of the Phoenix Bank will be found
elsewhere in this issue of the HER
AID. The statement shows that the
business of this institution has grown
to large extent during the past
year, the deposits having increased
about 100 per cent. in that length of
time. The deposits now aggregate
the neat sum of $l48, 779 81, with $75,-
75l.77 cash on hand. At meeting
of the directors of the bank this
week, 6 per cent. dividend was
declared, and the amount of undi-
vided profits was increased to 81, 1866
80. Every citizen of the town and
county should feel proud of the
growth of this institution.

Capt. Width orne Made Major, and Ser ct

nounced number of promotions in
the First Tennessee Regiment,
among which were the following:
Capt. w. J. Whitthorne, of Company

Where there was vacancy in the
office of Captain in company Gov.
McMillin appointed the First Lieu

In company B, however, the First
Sergeant was the ranking officer,
the lieutenants having been trans

Sergeant Cabler, of Company B, was

THE war in the Philippines is
rich mans war; it is being fought
for him, but not by him; it is being
fought in his interest, but it is not
he, by any means, who pays the ex-
penses. On the contrary, the burden
of the enormous revenue necessary
to carry on the struggle is paid by
the poorer and middle classes-those
who compose the great masses of
the population of this country; while
the mOnied few-those who have
enormous capital to invest-are the
only ones who can ever hope to de-
rive any benefit from the annexation
of the islands.

WHATEVER else the National
Democratic Convention may do
next year, four things are rea sonably
certain. William Jennings Bryan
will be made the nominee for Presi-
dent, and the platform will contain
planks declaring for free silver at
sixteen to- one and against trusts
and expansion. 1t is also reasonably
certain that the Republicans willre-
nominate William Mckinley for
President, and that their platform
will declare for the gold standard
and expansion. These are the lines
upon which the battle of 1900 will be
fought; and, looking at matters from
the present standpoint, the Demo
Gratis chances for success do not
seem at all gloomy.
