for the ro-nomlnntlon nnd

Kcsts n lit let liuiulry Into the causes
of tills man's wonderful hold upon the
A met lean people.
When MeKInloy was nominated nt
St. Louis, the feelliiK which prevailed
anions pet haps a majority of, the Ho
publlcans in public life was that a
Brnvo party ilk was beinB taken. Mc
Klnley ns the apostle of protection
and author of u tariff bill which had
brought about a prospetlly that hail
jrhen way to panic after the Demo
crats had substituted the "Wilson nos
tium of tariff ufoim; MeKlnlcy as a
jnnn of praclous personality whoso
thorough eultiwttlon of the art of mak
ing friends had established In every
section of our country the nucleus of
u volunteer organization which Mark
H u una and other resourceful admirers
(supplemented by practical promotion;
illcKlnley as n, governor of Ohio who
had shown more desire to pacify the"
clashing factions than success In the
bestowal of patronage this man of
destiny the words were sometlmea
used derisively then had won greater
favor among the people than he had
acquired among the politicians. The
latter lemembercd Oat Held and were
distrustful. They had done their best
to sidetrack him with Heed, and hav
ing been beaten at St. Louis they were
Inclined to view the future with mis
Evlngs. "Huch, wo are frank to say, was the
feeling behind the scenes when McKin
ley became president. Wo need not
occupy space with a list of the details
of his administration; few of tbe great
events crowded into the Intervening
three ears have escaped the public's
memory. Hut -vhat Is chiefly signifi
cant In the connection in which we
W)ltf. for we are considering now Mc
Kinley's relationship toward Hepubll
enn polltl's, Is that while retaining a
mastery over the iMiem and. Indeed,
the affection of the common people cer
tainly not surpassed by any man In
our translation, hchas aim, after three
years of having to deal with ery
numerous Items of pationage, captuied
the goo.l will of an overwhelming ma
jority of the politicians. Xot a hand is
lifted against him. Nor has there nc-n
any sseilous canvassing of the possi
bilities of an oiganlzed resistance to
his tenomlnatlon. The launching of
the Dewey boom, evidently planned as
a slunnlnt; surpilse, caused not a tto
vnor in Hepubllcan circles; Dewey, at
the pinnacle of the Dewey excitement,
could not have displaced McKInly had
he tiled. People and politicians for
once are of one accotd. Mc-Klnley has
sutvlved without Injury p seiles of
stoinis In public opinion which might
readily hae taiccd a weaker man 3
titter undoing. The clamor oyer Cuba,
the le3f scandal and Algorism, the
Otis round robin and the temporary
change In policy concerning Puerto
Kleo all seemed at th time to threat
en his political life, yet all passed
smoothly and harmlessly by; so will
It bo with the iltmy ot sympathy for
the Iloetd wliMi designing Democrats
im trying to turn into a campaign fac
tor. The blnuilo tiuth of a long story is
that William MeKlnley In the office of
president of the United States has out
gioyn all expectations and has fairly
earned Ills place among the Bleat ad
mlnlsti.itois of our history. He has
been honest, patient, self-controlled; he
has shown the llms intuitions of a mas
ter politician and has utilized them In
canying out the broad polities of u
groat statesman. The war which is, ot
cruise. the'RlstoiIc feature of his ncl
njlnlbtr.itlon, came up suddenly, like a
tropica storm, and brokd berore its
Imminence was generally appi eclated;

iho flarhud to bo discontinued. Tho
audience, strange to iclate, made no
demonstration but qulotlv dispersed,
This Is ptobnbly tlie only Instance on
record In which a country audience has
felt that the worth of Its money has
been received In a "Snpho" perform
ance. It Is stated that the Inhabitants of
lliu Danish Islands of the West Indies
are up In nuns ngalnst the put chase of
the Islands by this country. It Is not
likely, however, that the Inhabitants of
the group will need to lose much sleep
over tho matter for some time yet.
There Is no paitlcttlnr tonson Just at
this time why tho United States
should be petsu.idcd to Invest In this
territorial goltl brick that has long
been a but den to Denmark.
To Expedite Court Proceedings.
ASl'UCJKSTION lelatlvo to
court procedUie has been
made by Justice Leavcntiltt,
of the New York city su
preme coirt, which seems to have
merit In It. He proposes that when a
case Is to be opened, tho defendant's
counsel shall have on opportunity, im
mediately following tho opening ad
dress of the counsel for tho prosecu
tion, to state the general natuie of
the defense, and to announco In what
particulars tho defense Intends to chal
lenge tho plaintiff's proposed proof
and what the aliirmative defense, If
any, will be.
Justice Lcaventrltt believes that In
this way tho rights of tho defense be
fore the jury would be better safe
guarded because effoits at cross-examination
would not be so likely ns at
present to escape tho comptehension of
tho Jury. It will bo recognized that
few Juries are sufficiently trained In
the fine points of logic to follow tho
subtle trail of the expert cross-examiner
through a maze ot apparently con
fusing testimony without the guidance
of a diagram. This opening address
by the counsel for tho defense Is to
serve as a diagram, so that the Jury
can enter upon its task of welching
the testimony with ti fairly well de
fined Idea In advance of what its rele
vancy to the case Is supposed to be.
The chaigc of the Judge at the conclu
sion could be lolled upon to lemovo
any false impressions ns to the law In
the case which might be woiked In by
ingenious counsel in tho course of their
piellminnry oiatory.
An additional advantage claimed for
this plan by Judge Leavcntiltt Is that
It would tend to shorten tilals. We do
not perceive how the Now Yoik jut 1st
til rives at this conclusion unless
through tho belief that the presiding
judge could moie readily itile out ir
relevant testimony. It Is his preioga
tlvo to do this now. And Incidentally
wo might say that our judges would
earn additional gratitude fiom the
people if they should more generally
and sytematlcally exercise this pre
rogative by snipping Justice ot Its
plainly unnecess.uy delas. The case
which has recently occupied one of our
courts without inter ru:tlon for almost
twoweeks, Involving costs estimated nt
$10 for everv minute of time thus em
ployed, Is a good illustiatlon of cir
cuitous methods which mlslit prollt
ably be abbievlated. A. Solomon could
huve settled It in about tlnee minutes.
Tho lcslgnatlon of Colonel Webb
Hayes is but another of tho straws
that Indicate tho tine condition In tho
Philippines. In spite of an occasional
despatch calculated to keep up tho In
terest in the campaign at Manl'a,
little intellgenco is iccelved to show
that there Is any woik for'thc Ameil
cuii soldier sae that of running a few
dlsoiganlzed bands of robbers to the
earth. For any except tho trained and
patient "regular," this sort of cam
paigning soon becomes irksome".
Til the Thick of Politics.
It SEEMS to bo well established
that a vote on tho Hav-Paunco-foto
canal treaty will not be
taicen at this session of congress.
The lensons for postponing tho subject
ore of two kinds, parliamentary and
political. Opinion In the senate is io
poited to be so badly divided at this
time that neither the original treaty
nor the amendment offered by Sena
tor Davis has any chance of securing
the two-thltds vote requisite to a ratl
llcatlon. This Is because tho Dem
ocratic minority is holding together
for partisan purposes and Is threaten
ing to vote In nny manner which will
embarrass tho administration. After
the piesidential election the Democrat
ic senators will be at llbeity to drop
party considerations and vote In ac
cordance with their individual convic
tions. One leason why tho suppoitcis of
the ndmlulsttatlon In tho senatfi nro
not fighting n postponement Is because
they recognize thnt the extent to which
antl-nritish feeling has been developed
In this conptiy since the beginning of
the South African war makes it doubt
ful whether so Important and delicate
a mutter us u treaty with England
pioposlng to undo fairly the Clayton
Ilulwer treaty could at piesent secure
unbiased consideration. It Is clearly
evident that a large piopoitlon of tho
Ameiican peoplo aie undergoing an
epidemic of emotional Insanity on the
subject of our diplomatic obligations
townrd tho combatants In South Africa.
The temptation among public men to
hitch partisan schemes to this passing
itnpulso of Anglophobia Is such that It
would not be wise politics to take ninfiy
chances founded on tho supposed abil
ity of senators to icslst It. When tin
sloim has subsided a deliberative at
mosphere will ngaln pie vail.
For similar reasons nnd because
this is pii-sltlcntlat year, whon eveiy
man In public life, whether he wnnts
to or not, Iiuh to put politics upper
most in his thoughts, veiy little legis
lation of general Impottuncu outside
of tho upproptlutlon and other routine
bills muy b" expected to roeelvo final
attention nt this session of congress.
The desire of tho leaders Is to hasten
through tho routlno legislation as rap
idly as posslblo consistent with enro
ful uttentlon to details nnd then to
adjourn. Tho date which Is In their
4nlnd uh nn appropriate tlnio for ad
journment Is the (list of June. Uy
tUit titno tho national conventions will
bo taking everybody's attention and It
would bo Impossible to securo enreful
conslderntlen of Important legislative
mattera, no mutter how earnestly the
lenders might try to keep congress nt
work. Wo do not recall a congress
which had beforo It so many measures
of the first Importance as are pending
In this one: but It is usclcs.4 to try
to secute good results In law-making
when tho attention of both legislators
and people Is distracted.
Wo are nolens volens In the thick of
politics, and the fact might na well bo
necrptcd philosophically.
Tho divorce proceedings In which
Mndnmo Mclba has been defendnnt
have been conducted so quietly that
the fact thnt the prima donna's hus
band had secured a decree wns n sur
prise to many admirers of tho fnlr
singer. Mndnmc Mel bit lone ago ar
rived nt a stage thnt made divorce pro
ceedings of little value for advertising
purposes, which probably accounts for
tho secrecy of tho recent suit.
Paderewskl cancelled an engagement
nt Sacramento tho other night because
tho audience that assembled to hoar
him numbered only 122. This state of
affairs probably would not have been
possible three or four years ago, but
with tho alarms of war constantly
ringing In Its ears the public evidently
has no time to listen to the rumblings
of tho virtuoso.
One company of soldiers In the Phil
ippines, belonging to the Thirty-seventh
Infantry, has already deposited
with the paymaster $30,000 In savings,
and tho men Intend, as soon as their
term of enlistment expires, to take this
money and co into business on the
Island of Ncgios, In tho vicinity of Ho
llo. Men of this kind will help greatly
to solve the Philippine problem.
The decision to bar tho gold stntuo
of Maud Adams from tho Paris exhibi
tion on grounds thnt It has been made
for advertising purposes, seems scarce
ly fair to American enterprise. Even
ns a theatrical advertising scheme a
figure of pure gold costing $150,000 Is
entitled to consideration as a sample of
American Ingenuity.
A $75,000,000 automobile trust Is now
scheduled, and of course tho projectors
announce that the company Is being
formed for the solo purpose of cheapen
ing tho price of tho horseless canlage.
Dewey may have the Gold Demo
crats behind him. but It Is evident that
Colonel Uryan has captured the entire
output of Vermont maple syrup.
In pursuit of the many-winged rumor,
Mr. Macrum seems to experience more
trouble than a full-fledged candidate.

peculiar, rttultlng in many repecti from the
unfortunate nurilase tuitoms, which arc even
moie lax than in l'enmjbania. Owing to the
exhoibitant chaiRcs Jj pesos made for ptr
forming marriage iriemonlet under the Spanish
rtiriine and from the fact that a civil marriage
wa-t not considered ltgal, the poor jeople were
unable to marry according to law. They had to
Mte money to buy consolation and burial ser
vices for their djing and dead and con?ernicntly
mairlagc fount were dispensed with. Men tiring
ot their wives turned them adrift ami took
others. The result is that vast numbers of poor
women, win have lltnl decent lives according
to their lights, are found destitute, with large
families of children on their hands, with no
huiband to provide for them. The officers' wite

JUDGE HENRY C. CALDWELL.
Judge Henry Clay Caldwell, of Arkansas, who has just refused to become Bryan's
Presidential running mate has a long record as a Federal Judge. His attire Is picturesque,
He affects a hat of uncertain age resembling a Shaker, his forehead is square and expansive
while his eyes, which are dark brown, are set in peculiarly shaped orbits. His eyebrows
are heavy and a red beard covers all the lower part of his face.
for the wearing of pale blue silk stockings and
knee buckles.
Hut a woman Is not thus constituted. Sha
turns up her nose decidedly at tlio suggestion
of appearing in a costume which has been worn
by a succession of other people and the responsi
bility of devising one with the hope of securing
a dressmaker who can carry out her Ideas is real
1 too great for her busy brain. Hence these
tears
....
IT IS SID that the prospect of a fancy dress
ball soon to be given is turning more than
one head graj. Said a lady confidentially yes
terday: "I was going as an angel, I had a
lovely white robe planned and such beautiful
wings (t don't know whore she got them nudo;
would jou try a milliner or a mattress man!)
and I was to wear seven stars In my hair jou
know, like the Itlessed Damozel, but what do
jou suppose? If my husband didn't suddenly de
cide that he was going to the ball as a devil
a regular Faust affair all in red! He was sim
ply determined to do it, and had even engaged
them to mike his pitchfork down at the Dickson
works. Why, I was almost frantic. He wouldn't
give it up until I promised not to be an angel.
Wasn't It horrid of him? I'm sure I don't know
what to select now. If I didn't happen to please
him there's no telling what terriflo idea he'd get
into his head next. I don't believe we'll go at
all."
. .... ,
TIIKIU: IS a coolness in one family becausa
mc husband proposes to keep his character
even from his wife (She sarcastically inti
mates that he has alwavs done so). He intends
to have a good time, he sats, en masque, and
not planning to have her spy on him, which
she'll undoubtedly do if she knows him. So my
lady is contemplating a bit of surprise on her
own part.
w
NK MAN declares that the easiest costume to
get up, that be can think of, is that of a
0
Filipino cmcftaln, and lie lias been so earn
est in his explanations as to its obvious adtan
tages that lie has almost diiven hla family into
dementia. Another thought it would be nice to
go as Oom Paul, but bis wife, who desired to
be a court lady of high degree, made such bitter
lamentations over bis decision that be weakened
In j determination, particularly after her clos
ing argument, which was to the effect that he
had "just the most perfect hands for laco ruffles."
.
TUG HISTORICAb novels of the times afford
opportunities for characters not heretofore
recognized at fancy dress balls. Iticbard
Carvel could be fplcndidlj por'rayed, as could
also his sprite of a sweetheart in her eighteenth
century frills. The character of Jack Brereton
would well suit some big handsome man and
the dress of Janice is so definitely portrayed that
she, too, could be made a life-like personage.
There are Hugh W'jnne, Charles Brandon and
Mary Tudor, while some of the recent magazine
literature affoids portraits which could be ad
mirably adapted! for instance take "tlio manj
sided Franklin," or Cromwell, or Dante, or Bis
marck. Miss Johnston's new book "To Have and
to Hold" offers exceptional character roles in
the hero, ".My Lord, the Duke," and beautiful
Ladj Jocclyn, with the friendly Nantaucjuas.

A certain newspaper man was exceedingly fond of
broiled live lobsters and round clams, but they distressed
him and caused indigestion. That was what he said a year
?t'fo, but now he tells a different htory and it is this: "I
learned the trick of taking a Ripans Tabule before and
another one after eating lobsters and clams and now am not
troubled in the least."
