ALC.EtttS? A?D B'KI?LEYI**.
The New York Herald's Washington
correspondent says that the President Is
heartily tired of Alger; that the letter's
absence on a Cuban Junket at a time when
affair? In ?he Philippines are In a
critical condition Is not bettering his
chances of remaining In the Cabln*t. and
that there are many person? who bell, ve
that the Jinket will end Alger's career as
Secretary of War.
In short, the correspondent, while not
committing himself In a positive predic
tion that Alger is doomed to go, as he
did some weeks back, F.aja, In effect, that
unless Alger resigns McKinley will make
the Secretary's Cuban Junket the occasion
for his dismissal. And In giving tho rea
sons for the f.-rlth that Is In him.
the correspondent declares, among Oth *
things, that for the I'n sldent to hold 00
to Al^er much longer BOW that his malad
ministration has loen brought out in
such atrong light, would be ecjorvalent
t i a sceptlng the responsibility for Alger's
at tions and orooM justify the denomi
nation Of AJgOpg nnthod? as Melvlnieylsm
rather than as Alg'Tism.
That the Preetdent is heartily tired
of Alger there can be 00 CJOOStiOB. Dut
, the matter of dismissing lorn, we
rather Imagine that Is with the corres
pondent a caso of tho wish's I
father to the thought. President McKin
ley cannot dismiss Alger, and Alger
knows It. AlgST has a ring In the I'n si
dent's BOM, and big virtually boasted of
the fact in his public utterances. Alger's
opt n, arrogant, and unblushing defiance
of public opinion ahowa that be has no
of shame. The President recog
nizes that were he to dismiss AlgSC the
latter might, in his \ -, "make
a dean breast of if?a. revenga which,
t<> any the least, would, there is reason
to conclude, greatly widen the circle of
the scandal growing out of our war with
Bpaio,
Again, there is nothing to .
the BUggOl ttOfl of dismissal in the de
claration that failure to pel rid of Alger
would be equivalent to th- Prestdent'a
accepting the responsibility f"r bid B
tiry'a actions, a-nd would Justify the de
nomination of Alger's methods as McKln
leylsm, rath.-r than Algerians. The I
mass of thlnkii nit Americana
