reports. In fact, he approved both.
Therefore, in this view of the case, the
president stands convicted of having
sacrificed his friend in order to silence
a popular cutlery.
Finally, if the president was at all
times satisfied with Alger's course and
was not weakly influenced by public
clamor, there is only one other motive
to be considered. That is the alliance
with Pingree. The antipathy of the
Michigan governor toward Mckinley is
well known. Pingree is an outspoken
man; he has never hesitated to express
his opinion of McKinley's weakness in
general and his contempt for the Phil
ippine policy in particular. He knows
that the war against the Filipinos is
being waged, not as a matter of lofty
and patriotic principle, but merely be-
cause the president supposed it would
be popular and be a stepping-stone TO
his reelection.
So, whatever may have been the real
motive that forced the retirement of
General Alger, that event, as things
look now, seems unlikely to help Mr..
Mckinley much-the latest reports
from Michigan indicate that there may
be trouble in store for him in the land
of Alger and Pingree.

~ HE reciprocity treaty between

~ HE reciprocity treaty between
the United States and France,
all the details of which have
been completed and which now needs
only ratification to render it operative,
is made the subject of severe criticism
by at least a portion of the French
press, which contends that the United
States has all the best Of the bargain
Very likely that is true. 1t is hard
to beat the Yankees at any kind of a
bargain, and if the French comntis-
sioners allowed their American con-
freres any advantage the Americans
would have been false to their history
One thing that didn't get on the free
list is champagne. Prices on this light
and sparkling beverage will not be
reduced by the treaty. However, there
is this reflection that most Americans
who buy champagne can afford to pay
the present prices without feeling Grip
pied. Champagne attains it's highest
popularity in New York Curiously
enough, Boston is second on the list
and New Orleans third. New York
consumes six times as much French
champagne as Chicago, a fact which
may or may not be construed as in
dicative of Chicago's bad taste. The
consumption of champagne is regarded
by some political economists as a gauge
of prosperity; and it is pointed out
that for the six months ending July /

United States shows an increase of
$4,000 cases over the corresponding Pc
Rod of 1898. The French commission

Alger's Friends.

II is plain to see that the withdrawal
of General Alger from public view
leaves the president himself to fish
in troubled waters. Those whose con-
viction it was that the war department
suffered because of Ayers holding-on
were satisfied to have the public serv-
ice rid of him. They insisted that Alger
must go, and the manner of his going
did not much concern these people
But Alger had some friends-they are
responsible for the recent assaults on
the president They denounce his
course toward Alger; they charge the
chief executive with chicanery: they
propose to fight back. What these peo-
pie are saying may or may not con-
tribute to the presidents growing I'M
popularity, but it is, at any rate, serVr
ing its useful purpose in showing that
they were well warranted who, months
ago, demanded that Alger be put out
If the resignation was invited be-
cause the president believed Alger to
be inefficient and unfit the query arises,
why was not the action taken long
ago? A year has elapsed since it be-
came apparent to everybody except,
perhaps, to the president and a few
Corbinites in the war department, that
Alger possessed none of the qualities
necessary to make a strong and effect
i've war secretary. The very defense
put forth by Ayers friends, that the
president alone was responsible for
Mt ants
the weakness of the ex-secretary. What
would bluff old Stanton have said if
Mr.. Lincoln had attempted to fill up
the military staff with a lot of PAM
pered incompetents who hardly knew
the difference between a bayonet and
a shoe buttoner? He would have said,
go to, Mr.. Lincoln, it shall not he
done" Still, this defense has certain
value; it proves that even Mr.. Alger
realizes that many of the appointments
were ineXcusably bad-a fact that was
charged by the press of the country at
the time.
Again, if Mr.. Mckinley was salts
fed with Alger and believed that the
complaints against him were without
foundation, he ought to have stood by
his secretary like a man, as Ayers
advocates are now insisting. The pres
ident had professed a warm friendship

The Round Robin.

Whether Mr.. Mckinley will alter his
policy in this particular remains to be
seen. Further attempts at concealment,
however, cannot fail to increase popu-
lar discomfort and Indignation and 10
affect injuriously his political plans and
spirations.-Baltimore Sun.
1t is the part of prudence for the ad-
ministration to investigate at once and
ascertain beyond doubt the true knowl-
edge of great international interests
upon the statement of one self-satisiied
man, no matter what his ability may
be from military ndpoint-Detroit
Free Press.
The censorship General Otis has
maintained is not the least of his many
blunders. The people of this country
have right to know what is going on
and they will insist on that right. The
whole of the ugly story of incapacity
and folly must now come out.-Indian-
apolis Sentinel.
The round robin issued by the news
paper correspondents in the Philippines
places the censorship before the coun-
try in vivid light. The issue is sharp
ly made and the administration must
retreat or stand condemned. The peo-
pie are sovereign and the unworthy
public servants who try to keep them in
the dark concerning their own affairs
will be promptly sent into dishonorable
retirement.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Has General Otis been deliberately
deceiving the constitutional command
er-in-chief of the army as well as the
people of the United States? If so, he
should not be continued in his present
position a single day and should be
brought to account for his criminal
misconduct. Unless this punishment is
meted out to him, the inference will be
inevitable that he acted under instruc-
tions, direct or understood.-Cleva
Plain Dealer
The "round robin" clears the air. Like
the famous protest of the American
generals at Santiago against sending
out fever-ridden soldiers into the hills,
it will accomplish its purpose. We are
confident that the rigors of the censor
ship which General Otis has imposed
will be speedily and materially abated,
and we shall not be at all surprised If
it lead to the removal of that com
mander from the position which he has
abused.-Boston Herald.

Put Out of Office.

~ NE of this mornings press dis
patches announces the assas-
sination of President Heureux,
of the republic of San Domingo. Com
ing from that ill-starred country, the
news will be no shock; this assassina-
ton is simply one more grim incident
in centuries of history that tell of a
miserable people who seem always to
| be the victims of disaster, as if some
evil genius were in unceasing pursuit
of them.
| Since Columbus discovered Hayti, of
| which San Domingo was a part. the
record is one of blood and of wars in
volving whites, blacks, Spaniards.
Frenchmen, Englishmen, natives
these all having had their share in the
uproar that has progressed, with in
frequent Interruptions, since the day
when the existence of the island be-
came known to the civilized world.
To take account of the wars and the
revolutions that have desolated San
as well as an idle one-the essential
fact is that in 1874 the region proclaim
ed its independence. At that time the
people established the Dominican re-
public, and, as far as forms go, that
has endured to this day. In its early
days this republic was obliged to de-
fend itself against the Spaniards who
about the time of our civil war, under
took to regain possession of the land;
later on war waged between San Dom
lingo and Hayti.
The constitution of the little repub-
lie provides for the election of a presi-
dent for a term of four years. Heureux
was elected in 1886. That is to say,
this man started in back in the times
when Grover Cleveland was serving his
first term and he has kept right on till
now. Usurpers manage to do that
thing and keep it UP long time in
some of this worlds feeble and mis-
managed little republics.
The republic of San Domingo has an
area about equivalent to that of Mis-
soula and Ravalli counties combined,
and population of about 100000. Prac-
tically every inch of it bears testimony
to war and bloodshed and barbarities.
There is no guessing what the sequel
of the murder of President Heureux
will be- but e ii is anything short
of civil war; that will be a wonder.

They're After Otis.

~URING many months of Philip
l0) pine campaigning the press of
the United States treated Cen
eral Otis with distinguished consider
alton. Criticism is rife now, but 1t
took its start very recently. Indeed,
until late in June, the public was under
the impression that Otis was doing
pretty well, under the circumstances.
That opinion prevailed because the
truth did not reach the publc-the
censored Manila dispatches, as the
event has proved, We're grossly mis-
leading. In May and along into June,
the current belief was that the war
was reaching it's finishing touches; that
belief had nothing better to go by than
the daily bulletins sent out from
Washington as official summaries of
the situation. The people supposed
that they were getting it straight"
nobody was disposed to find fault with
General Otis.
1t was a rude awakening. The un-
welcome news came that the popular
| expectation of the wars speedy end
ing was an Illusion. Instead of I'M
| pending peace, the government had to
| confess that the situation demanded
more soldiers for new campaigns that
cannot progress until weeks have in
| tervened. We shall be in luck if the
war is ended before Christmas; the
! opinion spreads that next spring will
| find US fighting-that opinion rests
chiefly on the testimony brought back
from Manila by returning volunteers
We are to remember that the cru
SADIE against Alger was a squaring of
Spanish-war accounts-in the public
mind he was not often associated with
operations at Manila. Indeed, until
the disappointing tidings came from
Manila, no man among the Philippine
commanders was under public GEN.
sure Now, however, it is apparent
that Otis has fallen out of public ia
vor and one who reads the newspapers
can see that the demand for his recall
is growing more emphatic daily. In
many instances the cry of prominent
spapers-eXpansion publications at
that's an appeal to the president
done good thing in getting rid of
Alger; now do another good thing
send Miles to Manila"
1t is not at all probable that Presi-
dent Mckinley will do that. At the
same time. recent press dispatches
have said that the president has been
thinking about putting Lawton at the
head of the Philippine forces. In in
stances, to be sure, the gossip is that
the president will in no event listen
to the criticisms of Otis. That is Cos
sip. These same people We're saying.
not long ago, that the president would
not, under any circumstances, heed the
demand that Alger be removed But
he did heed ii.
And it may be that the cry raised
against Otis will likewise be resistless.
If that transpires, General Otis can
claim that there was nothing the mat
