Not only the Republican papers, but in
dependent papers of New York whose opin-
ion is of Importance. speak in the highest
terms of the new secretary of war. The
New York Times is not surprised that the
President should want Mr.. Root, but it is
surprised that Nj. Root should accept the
position. That paper predicts that Mr. Root
will make an able secretary of war. Those
who are likely to have correct information
declare that General Miles will be called
upon by the new secretary to discharge all
the duties which belong to the general COM
handing the army. The country will be
disappointed IL this shall not be done, since
the chief cause of recent complaint against
Secretary Alger has been that he has
ignored the general who should be in COM
mand of the army, and that because he has
done so affairs have not gone as we'll as
they would If General Miles. who is an able
soldier, had been consulted and his advice
taken regarding purely military matters.

THE CASE OF GENERAL ALGER.

No one expects that any man or any con-
sideration can affect Governor Pingree. con-
sequently if ne undertakes to turn the De-
troit reception of General Alger into an
indignation meeting he will do so so far
as he is concerned. There can be no doubt
that General Alger has the respect and re-
gard of the people of Michigan. Years ago
he was a popular Governor of the State.s
and he has always been a public-spirited
citizen. While he has not done all things
wisely as secretary of war, no responsible
person has made any charge against him
touching his integrity. When people come
to understand the matter those VINO have
been assailing him will find 1t difficult to
write out the specifications. The outcry
which followed the disease in the army that
was sent to Cuba to take Santiago made
him responsible for matters over which he
had no control. He was secretary of war
when war came, and, as it appears. the
bureaus Of the war office were not equal
to the emergency. 1t can now be seen that
1t would have been better If Secretary AL
ger had turned the ordering of the camps
over to General Miles and compelled the
quartermaster and commissary bureaus to
furnish whatever We needed. When all is
said that can be said, the humiliating con-
cluson must be reached that he was the
victim of unjust newspaper criticism,
which, coming at the time that diseased
soldiers were returning to every neighbor-
hood, persuaded the mass of people that
General Alger was unfit for the position he
held. Causeless as it was, the existing pref
udice against him deprived him of that
confidence which secretary of war at the
present time should have
The chatter that General Alger will here
after write something" is that of the cor
respondents who have assailed him. He be-
lieves that the War Department was wisely
and honestly conducted while he was
at its read. He will not admit doing
Cnwise or dishonorable things TO please the
President or anyone else. Indeed, no speci-
fications having been made against him by
any responsible person. he will not confess
weakness simply to fix wrongdoing upon
another.

INDIANA EDITORIAL OPINION.

Democrats point with pride to Wilson'S

NEW YORK. July 24-simple funeral ex-
ercises over the body Of the late Robert q.
Ingersoll will be held at walston. the In
gers5ii summer home. at Dobbs Ferry. az
4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. DIR. John
Clark Ridpath. who was for many years
close personal friend of Colonel Ingersoll.

Ingersoll on his brother, Charles Ingersoll.
DR.. Ridpath will also read My Creed" the
last poem written by Colonel Ingersoll. and
will afterward make a brief address. Major
o. ]. Smith. of. Dobbs Ferry. a warm
friend of the great orator and lecturer. will
read other selections from Ingersolrs writ
ings.
Early Wednesday morning the family will
accompany the remains to Fresh Pond. La
l.. where the body will be cremated. They
will bring the ashes back TO Dobbs Ferry and
they will be deposited in an urn which
will be surmounted with the bust Of Col.
Ingersoll, TO be made from the death mask
made to-day by John Gray Bernard. the
New York sculptor. The only music that
will be heard tomorrow afternoon will be
Siegfried's funeral march.
The mail to-day brought over three hum
dred letters of coincidence. and kilograms
continue to pour in from all parts of the
country. Among those received to-day was
one from Julia Marlowe. the actress. now in
London, England. Another long one was
from Rev. r. II. Pullman. who was a per-
sonal friend of Colonel Ingersoll. Many the
atrical people sent letters Of coincidence.
among them being II. c. Barnaby. Augustus
Thomas. Nate Salisbury and Stuart Rob-
son. kilograms were received from the
Brooklyn Philosophical Association. the
American Secular Society and kindred or
CARNATIONS. A wreath was received from
the Bohemian freethinkers and many beau

lower part of the house The funeral will be
private. and II is expected that only those
who were personal friends Of loug standing
will attend, and representatives of societies
that believed as did the late Colonel Inger-
soil.
Mrs. Ingersoll is so iii that she is confined
to her bed Members OF the family say that
the illness is due TO the prostration of grief
and the ceaseless vigil that she has kept at
the bier OF her dead husband since his
death on Friday. 1t is not thought that the
illness will result seriously. Colonel Inger-
soils daughters. Miss Maud and Mrs. Walls
ton II. Brown. are both on the verge OF
prostration. The grief-stricken wife and
daughters. who share the belief of the dead
agnostic. have begged only to be allowed to
keep the body with them as long as posi-
ble They have repeatedly refused to discuss
the final disposition of the remains, and IL
was not until this afternoon that they per-

WASHINGTON, July 2I-Secretary Alger
returned to Washington to-day and he was
in his Office early. Soon after his arrival
Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn joined him
and they had consultation regarding mat
tiers in the department and the turning Of
the department over to General Ayers sue
cessor. Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn will
be in possession until Mr.. Root qualities on
Aug. /. Mr.. Meiklejohn has had charge OF
the insular affairs and he finds on his re-
turn the subject of the Census Office quite
a prominent matter. 1t is expected that the
men appointed by General Brooke to begin
the work of taking the census will come
to Washington and receive instructions.
They will be referred to Mr. Merriam, who
will have supervision of the census in
Cuba to such an extent as 1t comes under
the civil authorities.
