The Presidents wife.

The Washington correspondent Of Il e
Springfield Republican makes the follow
ing good natured comments upon power
in the land which is not provided for ID The
Constitution
We have for the first time in
the history Of Residents wife
who seems to be ambitious OF hav-
ing a finger in the Government
pie. Her friends compare Mrs
Lincoln to Queen Elizabeth in her
statesmanlike tastes and capabiI-
tiles. She is by no means sim
pie, domestic woman, but was ev-
identity intended by nature to mix
somewhat in politics. That she
does so is undeniable. She has ere
this made and unmade the polltl-
cal fortunes of men. She is said
to be much In conversation with
Cabinet members, and has before
now held correspondence with
them on political topics. Some
go so far as to suggest that the
President is indebted to her for
some of his ideas and projects.
She is a very active woman
Nothing escapes her eye. She
manages the affairs of the White
House Il do not mean State af-
fairs) with ability, and will see to
it that the "old man" does not re-
turn to Springfield penniless. In
foreign countries her turn for the
political would not subject her tc
adverse criticism, but the Ameri
can people are so unusued to these
things that it is not easy for then
to like it. Mrs. Douglas was
good deal Of a politician, thoug
she never inquired into her hu'
bands position, but rather improV
ed Aby her social alliances. Mis-
Lane never alluded to politics, an
Mrs. Pierce knew nothing abou
them.
She was probably the worst sin
ple-hearted woman that ever or,
sided at the Presidents table,
The world 'simple" is not used
a depreciatiye sense. She was
pure-minded, unselfish, Christi
woman, and knew nothing at all
the world.
