We May Never Know.

We may never know of the anguish
hidden beneath smiling eyes. We
may never know of the weary heart
beside US day by day. whose prayer
is for strength to wait till God shall
say. "WeII DONE" We may sit
down at the same Preside, Clasp
hands at the same social board, look
into each others faces, but we cannot
see the heart, and who may tell of
the sad failures, the soul sick pining
for fathers hand to lead beside the
still waters of peace and rest.
All ! Never till we soar beyond the
stars and all the tears be wiped from
our eyes shall we understand that In.
scrutable mystery-the human heart!
All ! despair not when life seems
hard and dreary. by and by the shad.
ows will fall apart. the letters that
hind us will be severed, the burden
be removed, the tired hands be fold
ed, and sleep with her healing wings
shall hover over US and rest be won,

The Office of President.

That the actual power of the Presi.
dent exceeds that of some of the
crowned dignitaries of earth is uni.
yersally conceded. The Constitution
did not intend that he should he a
mere figurehead, or ornamental
cupola," to the government. 1t no.
only confided to him the execution
Of the laws but it armed him with a
power over the making of laws
which he might dt EN- improper, By
this we mean the provision that
every measure passed by Congress
shall be presented to him for his ar
prevail and signature; ard that, j
disapproved by him. he may return
it with his objections; in which case
it shall not become law unless again
passed by the vote OF two.thirds lin
stead of a majority. as in the first in
stancel of each house of Congress.
Whether this power was given to
him solely as weapon to defend his
own office or the integrity of the Con.
stltution itself from attack by Con-
gress, or whether, the Constitution
designed that he should in this way
have voice in the making of all
laws, of whatever nature, is one of
- questions still unsettled. The
Weight OF opinion and the practice at
the beginning of the government
seem to sustain the former view the
strict language of the Constitution is
IN favor of the latter. The frequent
exercise of the power in recent years.
10 marked contrast with its rare use
BY earlier Presidents, has aroused
harsh feeling on the part of Congress
and some very sober thinking on the
part of philosophers. 1t is plain,
however, that the present Executive
has no doubt upon the subject. The
power is certainly monarchical in its
nature. and at first sight appears out
RI place in a Republic where the will
of the people. as expressed by their
representatives, should be the law.
But here comes in the deIiherative
device of the Constitution. The ex-
ecutive branch of the government
was purposely so shaped as to act as
check against rash behavior by the
legislative branch. The President is
not the arm of Congress {; he does not
owe his office tc that body, nor is he
directly responsible to it for his ac.
Itions. He is elected, as is Congress,
by the people land, like Congress, he
is chosen not ny the people of Il par
ticular State. or district, but by the
people of all the States. He is, there
fore, as an individual, the only repre-
sentative of all the people; and if, in
their Constitution, they saw fit to
give to him, AS their great national
representative, this great influencer
over national legislation an in.
huence equal to the votes of one
sixth of all the members of Congress
ss-there is nothing in it contrary to
THE principles of republican govern.

Wise Words.

Where content is, there is a feast.
The envious mans face grows sharp
and his eyes big.
He who throws himself under the
bench will be left to lie there.
He who wishes to secure the good
of Others has already secured his
own.
The place honors no man tits the
man that gives honor to the place.
The thief who finds no opportunity
to steal considers himself an honest
man.
Man sees the mote in his neigh.
boris eye, but knows not the beam
in his own. AN
If word SPOKEN in its time il
worth one piece of money, silence ir
its time is worth two,
A good name when deserved give,
a strength and mild courage, quiet
boldness and mOdesty and assurance
which are worth all they cost.
1t is no great matter to live loving.
ly with good-natured, humble. and
meek persons, but he who can do so
with the forward, willful, ignorant.
peeyish and perverse, hath true char.
ltY.
For people to live happy together

President Harrison's Appointments.

Speaking of President Harrison's
appointments, the Comier-JoWnaL,
the ablest Democratic paper in the
country says:
There is no denying that the ad-
ministratiOn is getting in some very
astute political and party work in its
appointments to Office. Mr.. Harri-
son whilst selecting active and ortho-
dox Republicans of the most pro-
nounced description, has shocked no
popular or moral sensibility, but he
has rather impressed the country with
the idea that he is a clear-headed,
well-intentiOned man, working for
the best with great intelligence with
in his own party lines. The batch of
diplomatic nominations sent to the
Senate Thursday completes the list
of foreign places to be filled, and
though containing some surprises. it
will. on the whole. give pretty gen.
eral satisfaction.
The nomination of Robert T. Lin
coin as minister to England is at once
a surprise and a ten-strike. Taken
in connection with the selection of
Fred Grant for Vienna, it conveys
anappeal to the young Republicanism
of the period, which cannot fail to
have its effect. Both these sons of
illustrious sires are American gentle
men without reproach, and fully
qualified, personally and officially, to
represent the country handsomely
and adequately in the Old World.
In bringing the journalism of the
party to the front and stimulating
that Important branch of party SER
vice, the President shows both wis,
dom and sagacity. No better minis.
ter to France could have been found
in any walk of life than Whitelaw
Reid, and no filter consul general to
London than John G. New. Now
we have Murat Halstead to Ger
many. and Thorndyke Rice to Rus
STA. Mr.. Rice is the editor of the
North american Recie,U, a man of
many accomplishments and large
fortune, whose knowledge of Europe.
an affairs is very great and has not
been obtained by the sacrifice of
Americanism. The selection of Mr..
Halstead for Berlin is particularly
happy one. He is already well.known
to the Germans. In the France-Ger-
man war he was the companion and
guest Of Won Moltke, met the great
chancellor familiarity and often, and
will be no stranger to the court to
which he is accredited. He is per-
sonally both handsome and brilliant
man and will appear nowhere with.
out distinction.
The rest of the appointments are
all in the same line. particularly that
of Patrick Egan. which at this mo.
ment must be very gratifying to the
Irish on both sides of the water.
1t costs us nothing to say these
things. The contest between the
Democratic and Republican partias
for years hence will lean upon ire
cencilable antagonism of opinion. In
the meantime ii is an interest to all
men to have the business of thu
country-particularly our represen
tation abroad-in the hands of capa-
bic and good men, as it can never he
the interest of any party to raise false
personal issues. or deny politically
that measure of justice which, social
ly, no one would think of withhold.
irg. All the appointments we have
named are, Individually. excellent.
and from a purely partisan stand
point made with admirable discern
ment and foresight.
