Gen. Alger’s Record.
It is quite safe to say that the attack
on Gen. Russell A.
record has missed its mark. The effect
of it has been not only to leave Gen.
Algar’s fame untarnished, but in fact
to brighten it in the estimation of his
fellow-citizens. The country now
knows that after he had been sent to
a hospital desperately ill, as the result
of wounds and exposure, Gen. Alge1
w as made the subject of an unkind, 1111.
just, and injurious recommendation
‘ by his immediate superior in Jank,
Gen. Custer. Against this may be set
the abundantly-established fact that
Alger went to the hospital in good
faith. by the order of the brigade sur-
geon. thoroughly broken down in
health and strength, and without a sus-
picion that he was laying himself open
to reproach. Indeed, as it happened,
he was not, Gen. Custer’s recommen-
dation passed unnoticed, Gen. Alger’s
resignation, subsequently tendered,
awas accepted, and he left 'the service
with an honorable discharge, wearing
a promotion given in recognition of
extraordinary valor and conspicuous
efficiency, and carrying with him into
private life the warmest encomiums of
of such commanders as Meade, Sheri-
dan, and Grant, to say nothing of re-
peated compliments from Custer him-
self
It is impossible to examine the record
in Gen. Alger’ s case and leach any con-
clusion that 1s not in the highest de-
:2,1eehon01able to him as a man and
creditable to him as a soldiel. The
facts go to show that he was not only
personally b1 ave and efficient, but that
. .he added to these military qualities the
chaiacteristic of a signal and zealous
,‘dex otion which entltles him to' a place
with the most distinguished patriots of
his day. Nothing can be clearer than
that he was a conscientious, intrepid,
and loyal soldier from the beginning
to the end of his military career.
It should be added that neither at

afterward did Gen Alger know of this
inexplicable attempt to sully his re-
‘11own. It passed without notice by the
001 ps commanders who had witnessed
and paid eloquent t1ibute to his ser-
vices. It was consigned to such un-
regarded oblivion that it did not re-
ceive consideration when Gen. Alger’s
resignation came up. It lay there in a
dusty pigeon-hole for twenty-five years
to be resurrected, after all that time,
for the unworthy purpose of smirching
as proud, as brilliant, and as spotless a
scutcheon as any brave and honorable
gentleman would wish to wear.

Russia’s Starving Millions.
The Chamber of Commerce of the
’State of New York, through the Fam-
ine Relief Committee. appeals to the
American people for contributions to
relieve the distress of the starving mil-
lions of Russia. This appeal is based
on the following authenticated facts :
The existing famine in Russia is one
of the most terrible calamities of mod-
ern times. The area over which it ex-
tends -in its most aggravated form is
400,000 square miles. The population
afi'ected by it is nearly 20,000,000. In
addition to this another region ofal-
most equal extent and population is
suffering in a lesser but very painful
‘ degree from the scarcity of the abso:

lute necessaries of life.
these people is indescribable.
, tudes of men, women and children are
daily starving to death. They can be
reached and relieved through agencies
which are accessible, trustworthy and
efficient. Every dollar contributed
through this Committee will be prompt—
ly and economically turned into bread,
and distributed to the sufferers under
wise, impartial and experienced super-
vision.
The emergency is a'pressing one. It
needs no urgency of appeal to bring it
home to every human heart. The plain
facts are more eloquent than words.
We confidently leave them to speak for
It cannot be that such an
appeal will fail to bring a generous re-
spouse from ‘a community whose pres-
ent prosperity is only enhanced by the
calamity which has befallen Russia.
' Any one desiring to contrlbute for
Russia’s starving millions can send the
same to Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan,Treas-
rarer of the Relief Committee, at No.
23 Wall street, Now York.
The Attack on the Tariff.
It'seerns that after considerable dis-
cuasion and some undue warmth the
Democratic members of the Ways and
Means Committee have decided to
adopt the Springer plan of attacking
the McKinley law, Instead of passing
' ,a' general measure, which would be
.sure to meet with a speedy and pro-
,nounced defeat in the Senate, there
«will be a series of bills, and there is a
bare possibility" that some of these
may get through the Senate and re-
.ceive consideration at the Executive
Mansion. .

‘ter for every‘Senator on, the .Bepubli.

will undoubtedly hesitate some time
before yielding to the lash of the party
whip. The late Senator Plumb and
other distinguished members .of the
United States Senate are on record as
having been opposed .to several sched-
ules of the present tariff law. and in
view of this fact it is shrewd policy for
the Democratic House to afford an op-
portunity for a vote on free wool, free
binding-twine, free cottoneties, an?
other tariff reductions which thead-
vo ocates of tariff leform claim to be in
the interest of the consuming class
The prospect for an early change in
the present tariff law is not at all flat-
tering, but the coming consideration
and debate in Congress will disclose-
one feature which cannot be separated
from ,tarifi' legislation. It will show
that the tarifi reformer and the pro-
tectionist are willing to go to any
length in their respective directions
provided their own constituents are
not unfavorably affected.
The People to the Front.
Starving Russia is receiving the at
tentiOn ofbenovelent people all through
the country. Over 4,500,000 pounds
of flour have been subscribed by the
millers of the United States. Railways
carry it free, and the steamer Missouri
cf the Atlantic transport line has been
donated to cairy it across the ocean.
The gov rnor of Indiana has issued a
proclamation to the people of that
state and active steps in the matter are
beingtaken there. It is an opportun-
ity for magnificent - philanthropy,
which the people of the country refuse
to slight even though Congress has
seen fit to ignore it.
' Demands Stringent Measures.
The introduction of typhus fever by
Russian immigrants presents a grave
subject for consideration. The readi-
ness of this country to assist the suffer-
ers from famine will be ill-requited by
an epidemic of disease. It is a case
that demands stringent measures and
the responsibility for the admission of
these people, which was contrary to
law, should be promptly fixed and
dealt with.
The Tramp House.
In view of the DAILY G‘Aznrrn’s arti-
cle calling attention to the number of
tramps who are nightly visitors at ,the
tramp house, and who are allowed to
roam over the town at large to the ter-
ror of our citizens, Warden Kimmey,
this m01 nine addressed the following
letter to first Selectman Osca1 W. Ray
mond.
Nonwann, Feb. 18. 1802.
MY DEAR SIRz—The subject of the
tramps, who make the lock-11p their
headquarters, and who leave whenever
they see fit without any restraint, is
giving our policemen considerable
work in watching them, for they find
them prowling around town at all
times of the night, and it strikes me
that if the keeper down there, who has
charge of these men, was instructed to
lock them in and only let them out at a
suitable season in the morning, it
would be a protection to our citizens,
and an advantage and I would suggest
in addition, that if the keeper was in-
structed, and had furnished him, a
,book for that purpose, to keep a record
of the ones who lodged there, their
names, des ination, home, height,
color of hair, apparant age, and such
other memoranda as would enable us
to identify them, we would accomplish
two objects, one putting us in possession
of such evidence of identification as
would enable us to ieach them if they
committed any depredation, and sec-
ondly when we began to make that
sort of a itcord, thev will commence
to shun us, and we will save the an-
noyance of them and the expense of
feeding them. Pardon me for obt1 ud-
ing opinions upon you, but I feel in a
of
the complaint, which the policemen
make of the annoyance of these men
besng permitted to leave at any time of
the night they choose, and being com-
polled to watch them.

The Terminus to be Changed.
It is rumored that the freight termi-
nus of the Long Island railroad com-
pany’ s new route to Boston is to be
changed from Oyster Bay to White-
stone. The company has recently filed
in the Queen’s county clerk’s office at
Jamaica, Ii. I, a map for terminal 1m-
provements at Whitestone, which pro-
vides for the construction of forty
tracks for height purposes, terminat-
ing on the shore of Long Island Sound,
to facilitate loading and unloading

When once a wearer of cus-
tom- made clothes consents to
give our rightly-made gao
ments a fan trial, he is aptb to
lemain our customer. The
first time he wears the new
suit or overcoat he has a con-
sciousness of having “gone
back” 011 his old tailor, and
feels just a little uncertain
about the success of the ven-
ture; but let him keep his
counsel and await the verdict
of his family or friends, Ad-
miration of his clothes and
inquiries for the name of his
'tai101 will have a wonderfully
reassuring effect; then he’ll
begin to chuckle over the
ready cash saved by the pin-
chase. ,
On the other hand, if his
friends disapprove, he can
come back with the clothes
and get his money back, with
“no questions asked. ” Couldn’t
