GEN. ALGER,s BOOK.

Naturally there is a good deal Of
speculation as to whether Gen. Miles
will take any notice publicly of the at
tack which Gen. Alger makes on him
in his book. It is not at all improba-
BILE that he will leave the matter just
where Gen. Alger has placed it, II is
well known, Of course. that Gen. Alger
does not like Gen. Miles. and it is a
safe assumption that Gen. Miles would
not go out of his way to do Gen. AL
ger a favor. The country understands
the relations between them. and there
fore IL is not likely to be influenced TO
any great degree by statements inju-
rious to Gen. Miles which appear in
Gen. Ayers book. The differences be-
tween them were gone into thoroughly
when the commission appointed by
President Mckinley investigated the
rotten beef scandal.
The public doubtless expected that
Gen. Ayers book would be a vindi-
cation of his administration Of the War
Department, and that some prominent
men would be attacked. If that was
its expectation it has been disappoint-
ed. The book is a very we'll written
history OF the Spanish-American war.
1t does not deal in assertions. 1t SUBJ
Stimulates all the important statements
by War Department records. The
book therefore is a valuable contribu-
ton to history.
1t is true, of course, that he attacks
Gen. Miles, and that officer is about
the only person he does attack. No
doubt he will be excused for permit
ting his feelings to come TO the sur
face in the chapter in which the at
tack on him is made. 1t will be admit
ted that he had a great provocation
for attempting to create an unfavor-
able impression of that officer.
In the main the book is devoted to
showing how an army of ESQ, 900 men
was created in the course of very
few weeks. 1t will be recalled that
when war was declared the country
was not prepared for it. The govern
ment had an army of %. 600 men, but
ii was without sufficient ammunition
for even that small force. The enlist
ing and putting great army in the
field in the very short space of time
that was permitted for the work. was
a tremendous undertaking. Gen. AL
ger tells how it was done. and he
makes an interesting and valuable
story. The time may come when IL
win be admitted that there was no
justification for the clamor which
drove Gen. Alger out of the cabinet.

For the great, big. brawling world goes

The man who dies at his post.
While his cheek is mantled with man

And the pathway of life looks bright,
He is brought in moment to face the

Surrounding the final night,
He buoyantly sails DER a sunlit sea
And is dashed on an unseen coast

Who follows the glorious tide of war
And falls in the midst of fight.
He knows that honor will hover DER
And cover his name with light:
But he who passes unsung. unknown,
He hears no applauding host;
He goes in the dark to his fate, alone,
The man who dies at his post.
Who bears with disease while death
draws near.
Who faces his fate each day,
Yet strives to comfort and help and
and cheer
His comrades along the way,
Who follows his work while he vet

Rev. A. B. Simpson. the mission ora
tor who has won fame by persuading
men and women to pull off their
watches, diamonds and rings and con-
tribute them for mission work, now ap-
pears in the role of a prophet of COM
ing calamity. The end of the world, he
declares, is due to arrive in thirty
years time. God told Daniel" he
says, that the Geptiles would rule
Jerusalem seven times seven prophetic
years. Bible students assert that the
term as used in Holy Writ means $50
years. That means that the end of the
period when the arrogant, oppressive
rule of the Gentiles shall cease is near
at hand. But thirty years remain. {"

The German Emperor is known as a
lover of yachting. He is the owner of
one of the fastest sailing yachts in Eu-
ropean waters. and a year or so ago
took part in the Cowes regatta, where
he won several prizes. There has been
some gossip to the effect that the En-
peror will probably challenge for the
Americas cup. Should he do so, 1t
goes without saying that he would have
the best craft that Germany could
produce-and that the Germans are ca
pable of making speedy boats is abund-
antly evidenced in the performances of
some of their new steamers. Germans
and others have held off from con-
testing for the Americas cup for the
sentimental reason that it is an Eng
lish trophy and England should be
given the opportunity to win it back
before any other nationality entered
into the contest. This reason, how
ever, ought TO weigh very little, since,
after fifty years. England has failed in
the undertaking. Americans would be
well pleased TO have Emperor William
as a competitor. or one of their COM
petitors, next year.

1t is worthy of note that while navy

ness and speed-as witness the disas-
ter TO the British torpedo boat Cobra

strength Of their craft. The Deutsch-
land, the fastest steamship that ever

any Of her contemporaries. The COM

are two main reasons why they do not

his neighbor, for had just been think
ing what a remarkably good looking
fellow he was. quite above the aver
age in intelligence. What do you see
wrong in him?" Simply that he lacks
the fundamental qualification for the
position; he is not harmonizer. ana
l am afraid he is lazy, for he yielded
to a petty temptation. See those two
gentlemen seated on opposite sides OF
the aisle in the front seats? / hap
pen to know those men are violent per
sonal enemies and have not spoken to
each other for years. When the con
ductor went to collect their fares one
was holding a nickel in his hand, the
other a dime. The car man gathered
in the coins. crossed his right arm over
and gave the nickel as change to the
man with the dime. The coin was still
hot from the hand of his enemy. and
l saw the blood rise 20 the mans
cheek, and 1 believe he would have
broken loose il he had been sure
whether to throw the money in the
face of the railroad man or the hated
passenger. He fingered the nickel as
if il were infected and finally dropped
it into his outside coat pocket to cool
off. Now, of course, the conductor
was not supposed to know the enmities
of all the passengers he collected from,
but an experimental man with true
conductor instinct would never have
taken the chance, and would have
dumped the coin into his big pocket.
even if he brought ii straight out
again. The case was an extreme one.
but every day the ear man is called
on to use discretion in handing out
money. To collect a five-cent piece
from a filthy negro track hand and at
once transfer it to a superffne woman
of the upper crust is about the limit
of indiscretion, but / have seen even
that done more than once. There is
something especially offensive in the
oil warmth of a coin that has been
held for several minutes in the hand,
and il is a cardinal principle in street
railroadies' that each piece shall be
passed through the purifying money
pouch on its way from passenger to
passenger. I saw a curious violation
of the rule the other day. when pref
ty girl gave a nickel to a new con.
ductor who passed il across to dude
opposite. The man at once piped out
that the coin was no good and entered
into violent alterations, which ended
in the young woman ringing the ben
and leaving the car, although only half
way home"

VIII the Chinese exclusion law be re-
enacted? The time for which Cinnamon
we're excluded from this country ex-
pires next year, and it is stated that
the Chinese minister to this country
and the Chinese Consul General at San
Francisco are working to prevent the
re-enactment of the law.
There are interests which would like
to have the door opened wide to China
men. They think they could get cheap
er labor. No doubt if Cinnamon were
admitted freely to our shores it would
not DO long before tens of thousands of
them would come here every month,
and they would continue to come. and
would force native laborers out of en-
ployment. 1t is easy to see what would
happen then. There would be trouble
Of a serious character. More China
men would be killed in all probability
than our government could afford to
pay for.
We have enough Cinnamon in this
country already-more. in fact. than
there is room for. If It be true, as
stated. that the Six Companies in San
Francisco have taxed each Chinaman
in this country 81 for the purpose of
raising a fund to prevent the re-enact-
ment of the exclusion act they are
simply wasting money. While. as al
ready stated, there are some interests
that want the doors opened to China
men, the great mass of the people do

Cinnamon be kept out, and they will

/ There Is no doubt much sympathy for
Miss Stone IN her unfortunate position.
I hut the appeal for money with which
/ 70 pay The amount demanded for her
I release has not been sufficiently strong
/ to touch the hearts Of the great ma
I jority OF the American people. 1t may
| be that there is less sympathy with
I foreign mission work than there was
I before the trouble with China There
were publications during that trouble
which were calculated to create
the impression that the so-calIed
heather peoples were, in a
measure, justified in resenting
the effort to introduce into their
countries religions that were hostile
TO their own. Attention is even now be-
ing called to the fact that in communi-
ties in this country missionaries Of the
Mormon faith are not tolerated Only
last week some Mormon missionaries
complained TO the Governor of Georgia
that they had been beaten and driven
out Of Hart county.
We do not know, OF course, that
these things to which we call attention
have had any influence in deterring
people from contributing to the fund
for securing the release of Miss Stone.
1t is certain, however. that there has
not been haste to subscribe to that
fund.
Naturally there is a feeling of deep
indignation against the Bulgarian gov
eminent for permitting a band of brig
ands to exist within it's jurisdiction.
and if the American people could have
their way IL is probable that they
would hold that government RESPONSE
BILE for any harsh treatment of Miss
Stone during her captivity and for her
safe return TO her friends. We must
not overlook the fact, however. that
something similar might happen in this
country. 1t is true, of course, that it
would be difficult for brigands to es-
cape pursuit in any section of the
United States, and probably capture,
but it would not be difficult 10 kidnap
a foreigner. and it might be possible
to hold him a long time for ransom.
Children are kidnapped every once in
while, and there is scarcely a month
that a railroad train is not held up"
and robbed. It has not been so very
long since a number of foreigners were
shot to death in the parish prison of
New Orleans by a committee Of citi-
zens Of that town, Therefore we have
troubles of our own in this country
troubles Of a character that ought TO
make US regard with some degree of
tolerance similar troubles with which
the governments of other countries
have to contend.
If those who are undertaking to raise
the money demanded for the release
Of Miss Stone do not succeed in getting
the entire amount, it is probable that
the scoundrels who are holding her a
prisoner will consent to take whatever
amount they can get. They have no
feeling Of hostility to her. and doubt
less they would rather have the amount
that has been raised than take her life
and get nothing.

THE LIMITS ExcEEDED.

Those who are managing the glove
contests in this city will have to keep
them within the law or else public SEN
timent viii demand that the law
against smuggling matches be enforced.
1t is said that the contest at the The
alter on Monday night was a smuggling
match pure and simple. A deputy
sheriff who was present was quoted as
saying that he purposed to present the
facts of the contest to the grand Jury
with the view of having those respon-
sible for the violation of the law
against prize fighting indicted.
AS long as the contests were kept
within bounds there was no disposition
to interfere with the sport. but if an
other contest like that of Monday night
takes place it is pretty certain that
the law will be invoked and a stop put
to the contest.
1t seems curious that when a little
liberty is granted in such matters re-
gard for the law very soon ceases. In
terest in scientific glove contests flags
and then the smuggling begins. 1t is
pretty safe to say that smuggling
matches viii not be tolerated. and if
those who are conducting the glove
| contests want the privilege of contin-
uing the sport they will have to keep
within the law.
1t may be that those who are manag-
ing the contests viii insist that the
contest on Monday night was within
the law. Doubtless the grand jury will
have chance to pass upon that point
after hearing the testimony. of some of
those who were present.
