London, July 20. The Standard this mnrninr. in an editorial article regard ing the resignation of Secretary of War Alger, says: "President aictviniey s prompt acceptance of Secretary Alger's resiornatton is eaulvalent to an adirils- -slon that the department has been badly managed. It is significant that the resignation followed so quickly on the Manila correspondents' "round robin." Algorism Is the blot on the McKlnley administration, l it has jgtven the enemies of the imperialist policy the most effective weapon that could have been forged and President Mc Klnley can wrest it from them only by the appolntmep-t of a. successor whose past commands confidence." - The Times describe the resignation as 'a decided victory for public opin ion and public morals over political e i onizations. Hy reslcnlnsr. Secretary Alger has practically allowed Judgment to go against him by default and has lelieved the McKlnley administration from a responsibility that wus assum ing serious proportions. It is the first and must eu?iitial step toward the purification of the republican party, and indeed of the whole political sys te m of the United States. It is for the citizens of the United Staes to take care that the removal of a superficial symptom does not divert their atten tion 'from the root of the mischief." The Daily News has a similar editor ial. It says: "He might have defied tublic opinion to the last, but that Mc Klnley means to stand for a second term and had to be on his good be havior with the electorate." The papers generally regard the re- gnation as a prelude to a vleornii policy in the Philippines and the re call of Oeneral C-ll. i CABLED TO OTIS. Tin: IP.ESinENT THANKS TltOOFS IN LUZON.

Indeed, in stead of running out, the last ten years will show that he has got"" almost as good a hold on life as. the most favor ed of our people. The poems regretting his passing away will have to be stor ed for some years. The Indian of late years has been generally eagaged In minding his own business. He is not much improved morally from what he was, but he has not fallen behind to any noticeable extent. It is a case of the survival of the attest, and while eventually the Indian will have to go, he is not gathering up his traps and getting ready to start as yet. Those who regard the Indian aa a scattered: race, existing in small camps In the far West, will, be considered informed when I can tell them that there Is to day a record of 250.000 Indians in the Western states. There are many kinds there. The Cboctaws number over 15.000; the Creeks even more; the : enrtly In good health.
