II once tne coanf s Degjns. , im f if m. ximt urn mwnti jttw ASniNQTON LETTER, The report of the daily tress throughout the coun r.v as to the epidemic of yel-' low feyer at tho National 8ol dier's Home, nt Harnptoo, Va., have proven to be prow y exaggerated. Owing to the irotnpt and enetgetb ' mens urea taken by the authori ties the disease appears to be ally under control, and an epidemic character really at no time prevailed. Official re ports to Surgeon General Wyroan reports no new ca ses, and if the favorable tern pciature prevails, the now pending cases are expected to run atavorablecourse. So ar there have been forty-two cases, eleven of them result ing in death. The situation at the Home and immediate vicinity is considered satisf a c tory. The exaggerated re ports cast recklessly abroad are much to he regretted. It a ppea rs proba ble f rom de velopments during the past ew days in the War Depart ment that Secretary Hoot has in contemplation an ar my of quite forty thousand men for the Philippines. While Mr. Root has been at the head of the department only a brief time, the trend of his efforts has been, it is alleged, wholely in the direc tion of an increase in the a- variable forces in the East. The bel'ef is growingin army circles that Secretary" Root! has in mind a plan practical ly matured to make General Otis' available force at least forty thousand men. The number of enlistments in the new volunteer army have now reached a total of 9,063. Secretary Root has made a favorable Impression in offi cial circles here. What espec ially impressed the officers who welcomed their new chief was the business-like manner m m m m . m in. wmcn ne went a nour. things. It was noticed, bow- ever, that the new Secretary has no present intention of downing Oorhin' as some persons have urged him to do. At the same time it . ap pears that Gen. Miles is to re ceive every consioerati There can be, however, change in the department per sonnel. The heads of the bu reaus cannot be disturbed by any Secretary unless by as sent of the President and Con gress. The incompetent must continue to block progress until old age removes them to the retired list. It is the 8vstem that needs revising and Secretary Root under stands the situation. , "There is only one Alger" was displayed on two im- mense banners at the recep tion giren to ex Secretary Al ger upon his return to De troit. This inscription stated the situation in a nutshell. If there bad been more in t b e past eighteen months, it is painful to . imagine what would haye become of t h e country. '.One Alger demor alized the armVi several of them would haye shaken the foundation ot the govern ment and reduced the coun try to a state of chaos. The J people outside of Detroit re gard the existence of only one Alger as a merciful dis pensation of Providence. This republic has to carry many burdens, heavily burdened as it is, it has still managed to keep above water With the tribe of official Algersihcreas ed, however, its burdens would become greater than it could sustain. There is na tional rejoicing over the fact, that there is "only one Alger." v Now that he has re tired to private life, let us hope his species will become extinct as a factor of Atner ican government. The recep tion accorded to General Al ger in Detroit was also re mnrkable for the utterance of Gov. Pingree. The Governor has been acting as a mouth piece of Gem Alger and say ing tnat tne latter tninns but refrains from uttering. Through Pingree's receptive and agile mouth he can a- nathemize Mr. McKinley and hold him np in contempt. Al ger will find Gov. Pingree a valuable medium for express ing his views of those who have relegated him to the dull ness of a provincial existence at Df troit, after allowing him to taste the joys of official power at Washington. Mr. Alger will have an excellent opportunity to get "even" with the administration who made a scapegoat of him. He has not had his money's worth, if he was, as it is as serted, a heavy contributor to the purchase of the Repub Mean election in 1896. As for the Philippines, there is no doubt that an entirely new deal in the matter of leadership must take place soon. General Otis clearly does not grasp the situation or don't know how to deal with It, He has not men en ough under his command and he is responsible for that con dition of affairs, for the Pres ident has accepted his advice and judgment in the p rem is es. Unfortunately he seems to continue to do so. Gen. Otis should be Iset aside at once. Mr. McKinley will have to be forced to the step by public pressure. There is plen ty of better material in our army to take the. pi ace of the incapable Otis. The recent assassination and disunted eucceession of Pres. Eorucux of the Domini can Republic are likely to brine: new nroblems at our dooi-6. It is alleged that a powerful American syndicate has practically control of the finances and affairs of that country. Two warships have been ordered to San Domin go to protect Americau in tre9ts. Syndicates have been verv well cared for by the piesent Administration and there w no reason wny we should not take in San Do mingo, if the ueizure of t h e Philippines can be justified. All the territorial syndicates ought to look alike to Mr McKinley, and ''manifest des tiny" ought not to make any discriraintion between friends ; The popularity of War Twain in England and the lack of attention shown the other Mark (Hanna) in his recent visit abroad is anoth er proof of the superiority of mind over matter. BM'lHsn nitta.v The Holy Spirit is not a riend to idleness. Sin in deed (s generally the result of sin in thought. Every christian life is a book that some sinner has to read. How strange that good peo pie should have to tell bad news. Nothing is real success tbnt is not according to uod s plan. Too many men praise their wives most after they bury them. If we givethedeviloureyes, he will soon have control of our feet. If you! would know what keeps the oak alive, look for its smallest root. The man who looks with nure eves can see the face of God in a dew drop. God makes the most use of those who keep themselves ready for bis use. The' man who pleases God may expect to have a good deal of trouble with men. If God puts us in the fire, it is because be sees dross that he wants to purge out. Remember the serpent s head has to be Druised, no matter how big and black it may look. According to the way some folks talk the onlv people who have been good are dead. If our faults were all writ ten on our faces the world would be full of hanging heads. The devil can take a little rest when christians begin to quarrel between themselves Everv woman who has to live with a drunken husbaud knows that the devil is still loose. At this timeihen there seems to be a disposition on the part of the Republican party to force monometal lism on the people, the re- nortof the Director of the Mint Robere. showed that the United States has fallen to the third position among nations of gold-producing power, ogers food for reflec tion to those who would take that rash step.
