M'KINLEY THE MAN.

e.
Just ton years ago William McKinley
was retiring' from congress. a defi ated
candidate for reelection, after an al
most unbroken service of 14 years. Ile
had gone down under tlie democratic
avalanche of November, JbfO. His op
ponents attributed his deirut o the
tariff bill bearing his name, then but
recently enacted into law. friends
attributed it to a democvafC gerry
imtnder. which had placed hint At a dis
advantage «u his district. Hut. for one
cause or the other, he was returning
to private life, and the boldest of thr
enemies of protection ventured the pre
diction that he would find it difficult
to regain a place as leader. Thos« gen
tlemen spoke without prescience.
Hardly had Mr. McKinley peached
home when a movement took form to
make him his party's candidate that
year for governor of Ohio. The repub
licans responded readily to the sugges
tion, he was nominated with ease and
he had a plurality at the polls over
James E. Campbell of over 20.000, It
was an extraordinary victory, coming
so soon after the repudiation .of the Mc-
Kinley tariff bill at the congressional
elections of the year before. He was re
nominated and reelected governor in
1893, and this time received the un
precedented plurality of 80,Cfl0-odd.
votes. The campaign had been fought
on both sides with extraordinary vigor
because of the recognized fact that the
result would probably have an impor
tant bearing on the presidential nom
inations of 1896. If Mr. McKinley
should win. his chances for the repub
lican nomination would be greatly ad
vanced. while if Mr. Seal, t he democrat
ic candidate, should win. a new leader
in that party would have to be reck
oned with.
Mr. MeKinley's record-breaking race
had the effect desired and expected b\
his followers. It made him irresistible
at the next republican national conven
tion.and he won the nomination for
president over as strong a. man as
Thomas? B. Heed with ease. The ean
\;is< that followed, in which lie was
pitted against a whirlwind campaigner
of many attractive personal qualities,
and who played upon the emotions of
the people at a time of much want and
distress, stamped Mr. McKinley as a
leader of great sagacity and reserve
power. He brought forward the policy
of protection again and opposed it to
free silver, and again Mr. Bryan went
to the wall. His renomination and re
election a.s president have logically fol
lowed. and he is beginning his second
term in the white house with the en
thusiastic plaudits of his' friends and
the heartiest personal good will of even
his opponents.
Mr. McKinley is 57 years of age. His
health is excellent. His capacity for
work is great. His knowledge of men
«i.nd affairs is very wide. He enjoys the
confidence of the people. As white a
light beats upon him as upon any
throne, and it discloses nothing to his
disadvantage. He is so much respected
and so well beloved, indeed, that all
men, regardless of party, cordially and
sincerely respond to the toast of Long
live William McKinley!—Washington

LIBERATOR M'KINLEY.
Million* of o|i|ires.seil
Ileved of rlie (iallint; Yoke
of Spain.
The war with Spain, which Presi
dent McKinley did everything in his
power to prevent, gave him tlic great
opportunity of his life, and one that
he l>est improved. In it he lifted his
administration to the plane of those
of Washington and Lincoln, and
linked his name with theirs for our
time, if not for all time, as the lib
erator of millions from the yoke of
Spain. The country wanted war, but
was not prepared for it; the presi
dent did not want it, but was pre
pared for it when it came. Through
out the war he was not only the ac
tual commander in chief, but the di
rector of our diplomacy. The story
of the United States in the summer
of 1898 is as dramatic and as bril
liant and as glorious as any that his
tory tells. Spain was expelled from
her last strongholds in the West In
dies and in the East Indies, and shut
up in the home peninsula; the is
lands she had misgoverned came un
der the flag of freedom; the United
States, as the champion of the mil
lions whom Spain had oppressed,
came out of her isolation, and re
ceived recognition from all of the
nations. President McKinley could
cay better than any man:"This was
my work," while, with characteristic
modesty, thought fulness and gener
osity, he was praising and thanking
other men, all of whom did not de
serve to be so praised and thanked.
The suddenness and completeness of
our achievement dazzled the imagina
tion and won the admiration of the
world. Its consequences made us an
active instead of a passive world pow
er. and gave lis new duties and re
sponsibilities, which we regret, but
could not honorably avoid. —Henry 11.

other assortment of falsehoods to
the effect that the administration
would surrender to Great Britain.—

INDEPENDENCE OF CUBA.
Itnllomil ii nd ( <ii«» me ■■ 11 II lile (nurse
tif President McKinley in Treu
liiK n lib tlie I sin ti il.
The anti-administration journals tell
us that our government is intent upon
"robbing" the Cubans of their inde
pendence and making of the island o'
Cuba an Ami rican colony and so re
pudiating the solemn pledge* of con
gress in 18(18. The answer of th«> presi
dent to these outrageous charges,
which Invp not the slighesi foundation
in fact, \vat> the attachment of his sig
nature to the army appropriation bill,
which embodies the provisions tend
ing the relations of the United States
with Cuba and the Philippines.
The president has thus emphasized
the position of this government and na
tion on this important subject, 'l'lie
position is in the highest sense com
mendable, rational, conciliatory and
calculated to bestow upon Cuba the
strongest reality of independence and
local autonomy and to insure the reign
of law and order, peace and justice on
the island and insure it against a lapse
into the chaotic condition of Ilayti.
Having freed the island from Spain, our
government has. in every step it has
taken, given the Cubans to understand
that it purposes to be guardian of the
island and to establish the stable gov
ernment required by the treaty of
Paris. It declared, in the call for the
Cuban constitutional convention, that
the constitution framed by the conven
tion must lie submitted to the United
States congress for approval. There
was not a delegate in the convention
who did not perfectly understand that
the work of the convention would be
subject to such supervision. Even men
like Cisneros understood this :ini! made
no objection when the convention met.
They a.ll knew that they were expected
to define the relations of the island to
the I'nited States. Intelligent Cubans
saw that as the United States holds the
sovereignty of Cuba as trustee, the
trusteeship cannot be turned over to
any persons or government who does
not have the right and ability to act in
the place of the United States. If the
constitution were eminently accept
able, the Cuban government elected 9ft
days after its promulga 'ion would have
to be installed under tl-e protection of
our troops and the I'nited States would
have to see that the elections were
properly he'd and the machinery of the
insular government putin operation
successfully. The Cub?,Tl constitution
itself devotes several sections to the
subject of the transfer of government,
plainly conceding that the elections
must be held in accordance with t he or,
ders of the I'nited States issued .Inly
25, 1900. Obviously, the trusteeship of
the I'nited States over the island dees
not end until a. stable government shvWl
have been established there, and the
United States has properly and law ful
ly insisted that the Cubans shall give
certain guaranties protective of the in
terests of both parties, and either to
be made a part of the organic law or
to be embodied in a permanent treaty
between the United States and Cuba.
It is a. small thing for the United States
to require American supervision of
Cuba's treaty-making and debt-making
power. The United States reghteously
demands that the last, state of Cuba
shall not be worse than the former
state under Spain. It is the truest
statesmanship to insist t'aat Cuba shall
not fall into the hand*revolutionary
juntas which will pro** destructive of
the real welfare of the Cubans and
make it the desolate- ttnlking ground
for a series- of dictators.
Fortunately, the administration of
President McKinley is e-rcal to the duty
•and responsibility of dealing with tint
Cuban matter, which will be settled in
a. statesmanlike way. conducive to the
highest interests of Cuba and the I'nit
ed States.—Minneapolis Journal.
POLITICAL DRIFT.
have been presidents who
apparently held congress in light es
teem. President McKinley has had
a long and honorable ffireer in con
gress, he knows the proper functions
of that body and recognizes its prop
er authority, and he has no intention
of encroaching on its rights or ig
noring its responsibilities. That is
one reason why the president and
congress get along so well together.
—Troy Times.
E?'The president has spoken lumi
nously and convincingly concerning
Cuba. The policy enunciated by con
gress w ill have few opponents among
men who read the president's re
marks on this most important ques
tion. He says"the declaration of (he
purposes of this government in the
resolution of April 20, H9B, must be
made good." The only way to mawe
it good is to iollow the line of policy
indicated by congress .laid approved
by the president.—Chicago Tribune.
mTol. Bryan can't pet anything
straight. In naming his paper lie has
to juggle with a definition. He quotes
Webster's dictionary as defining a
"commoner" as "one of the common
people." lie conveniently leaves out
Webster's addition and qualification,
"one having no rank of nobility."
In the United States the word has
no relevancy. The colonel might just
as well call his weekly emanation
The Serf, The Slave, or The Peasant,
as The Commoner. The. title is ab
surd. —X. V. Sun.
(CTh&t tariff war against the
United States does not seem to pre
vent other countries from buying
what they want of us. Our exports
continue to increase, and some of
our specialities are rapidly growing
in foreign favor. The city of Berne,
Switzerland, has just placed a large
order for American electric cars
With our bridges in the Soudan, out
electric ears in all progressive cities
of the old world and our machinery
everywhere, the tariff does not ap
pear to be much of « Chinese wall.

Indianapolis, March 14.—Gen. Ilen
jamin Harrison died at 4:45 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon without re
gaining consciousness. His death
was quiet and painless, there being
a gradual sinking until the end came,
which was marked by a single gasp
for breath as life departed from the
body of the statesman.
The general's condition was so bad
in the morning that the attending
physicians understood that the end
could not be far off. anil all bulletins
sent out from the sick room were to
this effect, so that the family and
friends were prepared when the
final blow came. The gradual fail
ing of the remarkable strength
shown by the patient became more
noticeable in the afternoon and a
few moments before the end there
was an apparent breakdown on the
part of the sufferer, as he surren
dered to the disease against which
he had been battling for so many
hours. The change was noticed by
the physicians and the relatives and
friends, who had retired from tlie
sick room to the library below, were
summoned and reached the bedside
of the general before he passed
away.
KX-I'RESIDENT HARRISON'.
None of Gen. Harrison's children
were present at his death. Neither
Col. Russell Harrison nor Mrs. McKee
had reached the city., although both
were hurrying to the bedside of their
dying parent as fast as steam could
carry them.
Elizabeth, Gen. Harrison's little
daughter, had been taken from the
sick room before the end came.
One of the most pathetic incidents
of the whole illness of the general
occurred Tuesday before he became
unconscious. The general's little
daughter, Elizabeth, was brought
into the sfi-k room for a few mo
ments and offered him a small apple
pie which she had made. Gen. Har
rison smiled his recognition of the
child and her gift, but the effort to
speak was too much and he could do
nothing more to express his appreci
ation.
Yesterday all efforts to arouse the
slowly dying man to consciousness
failed, and be died without a word
of recognition to any of those who
surrounded his bedside.
The funeral of ex-President Harri
son will take place next Sunday af
ternoon at 2 o'clock. The services
will be hi Id in the First Presbyterian
church, of which Gen. Harrison was
a member for nearly 50 years.
The body of Gen. Harrison will lie
instate in the rotunda of the Capi
tol all day Saturday.
From one who was present at the
death bed it is learned that the alle
gations of cruelty and injustice dealt
out by England to the Boers in their
struggle for liberty had been a sub
ject for thought in the mind of Gen.
Harrison. To liis friends he had
often spoken of the pity and shame
that the brave farmers of South Afri
ca should be robbed of their coun
try, of all they nave in the world and
forced to submit to terrible miseries.
Gen. Harrison would have liked
nothing better than to have come out
strongly and say what he thought of
England's cruelty; it was in his mind
constantly, but he believed that an
ex-president should observe the same
properties of speech which are ob
served by a president of the United
States. He was at all times careful
to say nothing that could be twisted
into a seeming disregard for the hon
or of the high position he once held.
During the last hours he spoke of
the Boers and their struggles. His
voice was low and his thoughts dis
connected. but those lying over him
could catch words of praise for tlie
Boer republic.
Benjamin Harrison was born at
North Bend, ()., August 20, 1833. He
was the son of .lohn Scott Harrison
and the grandson of William Henry
Harrison, tlie ninth president of the
United States. Benjamin Harrison,
his great grandfather, was one of the
signers of the Declaration of Inde
pendence.
Washington, March 14.—President

Gen. Harrison. He will leave here
probably to-night, although the exact
time of departure has not been de

Pittsburg, March 14. —Two commu
nications from Andrew Carnegie,
which were made public last night
tell of the steel king's retirement
from active business life and of his
donation of $4,000,000 for the endow
ment of a fund for superannuated
and disabled employes of the Carne
gie Co. This benefaction is by far
the largest of the many created by
Mr. Carnegie, and is probably with
out a counterpart anywhere in the
world. This fund will in nowise in
terfere with the continuance of the
savings fund established by the com
pany 15 years ago for the benefit of
its employes. In the latter fund
ilea "ly $2,000,000 of the employes* sav
ing:. are on deposit, upon which the
company by contract pays 6 per cent,
and loans money to the workmen to
build their own homes. The letters
follow.
"New York, March 14. —To the
pood people of Pittsburg: An op
portunity to retire from business
came to me unsought, which I con
sidered it my duty to accept. My
resolve was made in youth to retire
before old aire. From what I have
seen around me I cannot doubt the
wisdom of this course, although the
change is great and seldom brings
the happiness expected. But this is
because so many, having abundance
to retire upon, have so little to re
tire to. I have always felt that old
age should be spent not. as the
Scotch say, in 'making miekle mair,'
but in making good use of what has
been acquired, and I hope my friends
of I'ittsburg will approve of my ac
tion in retiring while still in full
health and vigor, and 1 can reason
ably expect many years for useful
ness in fields which have other lhan
personal aims.
"The pain of change and separation
from business associations and em
ployes is keen; associates who are at.
once the best of friends; employes
who are not only the best of work
men, but the most self-respecting
body of men which the world has to
show. Of 1 his 1 am well assured
and very proud.
"Hut the separation even from a
business point of view is not abso
lute. since my capital remains in
Pittsburg as before, and indeed I am
now interested in more mills there
than ever, and depend upon Pittsburg
tor my revenue. I shall have more
time now to devote to the Institute
an I to the Technical school, which
arc in the higher donKiin of Pitts
burg's life and these I have long
seen to be my chief work."
LETTER XO. 2.
"New York, March 12.—T0 the
President and Managers of the Car
negie Co.: Mr. Franks, my cashier,
will hand over to you upon your ac
ceptance of the trust $.1,000,000 of the
Carnegie Co. bonds in trust for the
following purposes:
"The income of $1,000,000 to be
spent in maintaining the libraries
built by me in I'raddock, Homestead
and Duquesne. I have been giving
(lie interest on $250,000 to each of
these libraries hitherto and this will
give a revenue of $50,000 hereafter
for the three. Braddock library is
doing a great deal oT work for the
neighborhood and requires more
than Homestead. Homestead, on
the other hand, will probably require
more for a time than Duquesne, but
I leave it to you to distribute the
funds from time to time according
to the work done or needed. Du
quesne's portion can be held until
the library is opened, and then ap
plied to meet extras in cost, if any.
"The income of the other $4,000,000
is to be applied:
"First To provide for employes of
the Carnegie Co. in all its works,
mines, railways, shops, etc., injured
in its service, and for those depen
dent upon such employes as are
killed.
"Second—To provide small pen
sions to such employes as, after long
and creditable service, through ex
ceptional circumstances need such
help in their old age and who make
a good use of it. Should these uses
not require all of the revenue and a
surplus of $200,000 be left after ten
years' operation, then for all over
this, workmen in the mills other than
the Carnegie Co. in Allegheny county
shall becomf eligible for participa
tion in the fund, the mills nearest
the works of the Carnegie Co. being
first embraced.
"This fund is not intended to be
used as a substitute for what the
coir 'any has been in the habit of do
ing in such cases—far from it. It is
intended togo still further and give
to the injured or their families, or
to employes wlu> are needy in old
age, through no fault of their own,
some provision against want as long
as needed, or until young children
can become self-supporting.
"I make this first use of surplus
wealth upon retiring from business
as an acknowledgement of the deep
debt which I owe to the workmen
who have contributed so greatly to*
my success. I hope the cordial rela
tions which exist between employers
and employed throughout all the Car
negie Co. works may never be dis
turbed."

Dated Beginning of Year from
Opening of Spring
When All Things in Nature Start
Afresh,
Some Other Things In Which the Ancients
Have Given Us Points.
The ancients began their year with
the advent of spring. How much
more appropriate thus to begin the
Xew Year with the new life of na
ture in the awakening spring. At
this season all processes throughout
the natural world start afresh.
The ancients also showed their
sagacityand appreciation of the great
changesandactiveprocessesof spring
time, by realizing that this is also the
time for renewed life and energy iu
the human system. They well knew
that the blood should be cleansed
from impurities and the nerves re-in
vigorated at this season. Hence the
establishment of the custom of tak
ing a good spring medicine.
This most sensible and healthy
custom is followed by almost every
body at the present day, few people
of intelligence venturing togo
through this trying time of change
from winter to summer without tak
ing a spring medicine.
The unanimity on this subject is a
settled fact; the only question hereto-
MB. STOOO^O^
fore has been in regard to what is tho
best thing to take. The people have
now become unanimous in their de
cision that asa springtonicandrestor
ative.Dr. Greene's Xervura blood an.l
nerve remedy is pre-eminently t he best.
Year afteryearDr. Greene'sXervura
blood and nerve remedy has proved
itself the surest, most positive and
reliable remedy. Made from pure
vegetable medicines, it invariably
cleanses, purifies and enriches the
blood, making the blood rich and red.
and at the same time, by its invigor
ating effects, giving strength, power,
vitality and energy to the nerves.
In fact, I)r. Greene's Xervura blood
and nerve remedy has proved itself
the most perfect of medicines and
just what everybody needs for a
spring remedy. Try it this spring.
Mr. Stoughton L. Farnhain of Man
chester, X. IT., says:
"Some time ago I was troubled
with lassitude and a feeling of fa
tigue. I did not have the ambition
to do anything that demanded un
usual physical exert ion.
"I was recommended by a friend to
try Dr. Greene's Xervura blood and
nerve remedy. 1 took two or three
bottles and am prepared to say that
it did me good. 1 can recommend it
as a tonic, as 1 know it helped me.
Remember Dr. Greene's Xervura
blood and nerve remedy is recom
mended by physicians, in fact, it is a
physician's prescription, the discov
ery of the well-known specialist in
nervous and chronic diseases, Dr.
Greene, of 35 W. 14th St.. Xew York
