ALGER AND McKINLKY
Secretary of "War Alger had
hardly reached Washington on
Lis return from Cuba before he
hastened to assure the reporters
and correspondents that never
since he entered the Cabinet
had he considered for one mo
ment resigning his portfolio.
This assurance, however, was
entirely unnecessary. The'public
have never entertained the sligt
est idea that Alger ever contem
plated resigning. Apart from the
well-known fact tbat no one knows
a gocd thing better than Alger
when he has hold of it, were b.3 to
resign an opportunity might be
afforded for turning light on the
War Department that wculd illu
minate. Notwithstanding the systematic
efforts to shield Alger, of the
War Investigating Commission
and the be2f court, little things
crept out before both bodies which
tend to show that Alger would do
well to remaii on guird and keep
ia position to prevent any future
iniquity from going too deep.
To fhe New York Herald's
Washington correspondent A'ger
said fur the :
"What the purpose of the con
stant reports that I will leave the
Cabinet is I do not know. If their
object is to tire out the President
and mysel, the persons respon
sible for them are very much mis
taken they don't know their
man. ' '
Alger would have covered the
situation more completely if in
closing the declaration he had use!
the word "men" instead of
'man." McKinley is responsible
for Alger. The 6ame considera
tion of self protection that keeps
Alger from resigning will prevent
the President from unloading him.
Moreover, the President is ham
pered further by the consideration
that a ep'.it with Algor would
doubtless cause him to seek re-
veDge by taking the public into
his confidence.
Oh, no, Alger wiil not les-ign
bis portfolio and the President
will net forca it from him. The
two are yoked together by the
bondage of ftar of exposurp, ni
the country must suffer Ihe-dis
grace such a condition reflects
upon it unt'l the people rise la in
dignation at the polls and repu
diate the party whose hold upon
power rende"s Algerism or Mo
KiDleyism the terms era now in

Saw Mrs. Ueorge Shoot.
Canton, Ohio, April 15. In
the trial of Mrs. George to-day
for the murder of George D. Sax-
ton the. most startling evidence
was that of Mrs. Christine
Eckroate. She said she went to
her window on the night of the
murder after hearing two shots
and saw a woman bending for
ward, who fired two shots towards
the ground, and then walked to a
vacant lot, through which she
ran.
She identified the person as
Mrs. George. She had previously
often noticed a woman walking
up and down m front of the Atl
house residence whom she later
learned was Mrs, George. Mrs
Eckroate is the first witness
claiming to recognize the person
who did the shooting.
THE MICllOBEs" OF CANCER.
Dr. Pra, in Paris has, it, is au
thoritively stated, discovered the
microbe of cancer, a little organ
ism that has heretofore eluded
the bacteriologists, although they
had faithfully searched for it The
value of the new discovery must
be very great, although the dis covery
of the microbe of any dis
ease is a very different task from
the stoppage of that microbe from
preying upon the human race.
OTTS NEEDS 100.000 MEN
In the Phi ippines. Lawton Says
Insurrection Cannot be Put
Down With Lrss
Manila, April 17. General
Luwton's expedition returns to
Manila to-day from La De Guna
province by the express command
of General Otis, Smta Cruz and
ether villages taken by the expe
dition under the old Indian fighter
aro being completely evacuated.
There is a decided difference of
opinion between General Otis and
General .Lawton over the evacua
tion of these villages. General
Lawton claims Santa Cruz at least
should be held with an American
garrison. In his judgment the pos
session of Santa Cruz is most im
portant, strategically, a? it com
mands the entire La De Guna dis
trict. With the Americans in con
trol of Santa Cruz, he sayp, they
would bo in a position cssUy and
effectually to intercept any com
munication between the insurgents
of the northern and southern por
tions of the island of Luzon.
General Otis defends his order
for the evacuation of the captured
villages by declaring he considers
it impracticable at present to spare
a sufficient number of troops to
garrison Santa Cruz. He says the
plan of campaign he has aiopted
contemplates a continuation of the
fighting in the northern portion of
the island, and that every man of
the availab'o force will ba needed
in that locality. Besides, General
Otis argues, Santa Cruz and the
other cities cm easily be retaken
if necessary during the rainy sea
son. He holds it will be much
easier to repeat the campaiga
made by General Liwton's expe
dition during the wet period be
cause the water in La Guna de
Bay will be less shallow, making
the transportation of troops in
bulks a much lass d moult prob
lem. General Lawton made a state
ment to-diy, the publication of
which he authorized, . He said that
in his opimoD, it would be neces
sary for the Uai'ei States to send
100,000 trcops to the Philippine
Islands if the ratives continued
hostilities. He said that it was es
sential to garrison all the cities
captured' or that are to be cap4.ur
ed in the future operations if the
insurrection was to be put down.
General Lawton's opinion is given
a great deal of weight among the
officers here. They say his wide
experience with guerilla warfare
makes him a mosi; capable judge
of the situation.

is equal to any blood trouble, and never fails to cure Scrofula,because it
goes down to the seat of the disease, thus permanently eliminating every
trace of the taint. -
The serious consequences to which Scrofula surely leads
should impress upon those afflicted with it the vital im
portance of wasting no time upon treatment which can
not possibly effect a cure. In many cases where the wrong
treatment has been relied upon, complicated glandular
swellings have resulted, for which the doctors insist that
a dangerous surgical operation is necessary.
Mr. H. E. Thompson, of Milledgeville, Ga., writes : "A.
bad case of Scrofula broke out on the glands of my neck,
which had to be lanced and caused me much suffering. I
was treated for a long while, but the physicians were un
able to cure me, and my condition was as bad as when I
began their treatment. Many blood remedies were used ,
but without effect. Some one recommended S.. S. S., and
I began to improve as soon as I had taken a few bottles.
Continuing the remedy. I was soon cured permanently.
and have never had a sign of the disease to return." Swift's Specific .
S. S. S. FOR THE BLOOD
is the only remedy which can promptly reach and cure obstiD ate, deep-seated
blood diseases. By relying upon it, and not experimenting with the various
so-called tonics, etc., all sufferers from blood troubles can be promptly cured,
instead of enduring years of suffering which gradually but surely undermines
the constitution. S. S. S. is guaranteed purely vegetable, and neVer fails to
cure Scrofula, Eczema, Cancer, Rheumatism, Contagious Blood Poison, Boils,
Tetter, Pimples, Sores, Ulcers, etc. Insist upon S S S. ; nothing can take its place.

There are dozens of remedies recommended for
Scrofula, some of them no doubt being able to
afford temporary relief, but S. 8. S. is absolutely
the only remedy which completely cures it.
Scrofula is one of the most obstinate, deep-seated
blood diseases, and is beyond the reeh of the
many so-called purifiers and tonics because some
thing more than a mere tonic is required. S. S. S.
