teering to Aid Governor Mckinley The
Case of the Governors Invalid Wife
NEW YORK, March 5.-"When you
consider all the attendant features, 1t
is case I'm paralleled in my experience,
said II. II. Kohlsaat to-dry. Mr.. Kohl
saat is the leading trustee in charge OF
the affairs of Governor McKinley's
financial affairs, and his associates are
Thomas L. McDougall, Of Cincinnati,
and Myron 7. Herrick, of Northern
Ohio. Continuing, Mr.. Kohlsaat said:
The Governors liabilities in round
numbers are $4,000 and toward the
cancellation of this Mrs. Mckinley has
pledged her private fortune of SIS, 900.
Well, now, II the rate at which subscrip-
tions came in last week, is maintained
for another week Mrs. McKinley's for
tune will be returned TO her intact. And
II the same rate keeps up for two weeks
the whole debt will be wiped out. Let
tiers containing contributions, large and
small, are pouring in from all points of
the compass. Just look" and Mr..
Kohlsaat produced number of them
from his pocket. "a Free Trader"
was the SiOnatnre To one. "a Lifelong
Man." in a cramped laid, 49, ="
concluding words 70 a scrawled note,
evidently written with great care, and
the Enclosure was 81.
There were others, too, bearing the
signatures Of prominent men OF wealth
for generous sums, and all the writers
seemed to be glad of the opportunity OF
testifying according TO their means to
their admiration and affection for the
Governor as typical American, who
through large-heartedness had TO be
placed in dire financial straits.
sIt was useless to try and oppose the
spontaneousness OF the proffered help.
Ii would have been about as easy to
sweep back rising tide with broom.
AS a matter of fact some OF the contrl-
buttons that we returned we're sent back
To us again with sharply written
letters telling US that we were not
acting in Governor McKinley's interest
and for us to say nothing but just saw
wood and take in everything offered.
Mrs. Mckinley would not listen to any
argument about not making use OF the
assistance she could offer. She Is de-
termined that what she has shall be
used to help her husband in his present
difficulty. She is not only willing but
anxious to deprive herself Of everything
she owns to assist the Governor.
"She said: In our married life he has
been everything TO me; my lie, my soul,
nv happiness. Never was there such
seIf-sacriiicing man as he has been To
me in sickness and in health, and now
when the chance SIS presented to me for
partial repayment, shall l fail to accept
| itP No. A thousand times no. II Is
supreme happiness TO me to beggar my
self that | may helf him In his trouble
Bless him.
ut is case Of .wifely devotion" con
tinued Mr.. Kohlsaat, seldom equaiec
and never surpassed. Her fortune shall
be saved at all hazards"
Editor Kohlsaat has met with erea'
success during his two days stay II
New York. he will meet his fellow
trustees ard Banker Hanna In Cleve
land tomorrow night.

Col st. Clair, but because he is a leader
just as other men have been criticised al
other legislatures in times past, just be-

ever may be said as to the espousal by st.
Clair of measures. either from party OF
any other standpoint, certain IL is he gained
his point nine times out of ten. To be sure
the Senator from Fayette has made mis-
takes, but his successes heve been so many
that the errors are lost sight of.
Much Of his success is due to his wonder
full energy. He works al the time. When
once he takes hold t never flags till
the end-until success or failure
comes. The Senator is outspoken aud
bold in his position on any and every meas
ure, and in large degree achieves success
through his fearlessneSs.
Probably no man has worked harder

Funny Business About the University.

epectdL Telegram 20 me hegtstT.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, March Sit is said
Prof. Atkinson, who holds down the chair
of Agriculture at the University, and
who was here in Charleston some
two or three weeks ago, and whose
visit was ostensibly in the interest of the
University, in explaining to Hon. Bum
gardner. whose son was suspended at
the University, said that suspension
was without good cause and the young
man was greatly wronged thereby From
the same source it is learned that Prof.
Atkinson voted in the faculty meeting for
the suspension OF this young man. Work
of this sort for the University. it seems, is
the special work of several persons both in
and out of the University. The general
opinion here is that Governor MacCorkle
will have a general cleaning out and shak-
ingup of affairs at Morgantown, and the be-
ginning is likely to be at the tail instead Of
the head Of the institution.

GOvERNOR M'CORKLE's ADDRESS.
The inaugural address of Gov. MAC
CoRKI.E delivered at the capitol at
Charleston on Saturday will be found
in full elsewhere. 1t is a splendid and
conservative document in which the
Governor clearly and carefully outlines
the policy of his administration Of the
States affairs.
1t is noteworthy for the boldpess with
which the Governor states his position
on several important questions and the
fearlessness with which he indicates his
intention to carry out his ideas regard
less Of outside influence, interference or
clamor. And it is entirely safe to say
that he will do. and do thoroughly and
promptly, exactly what he believes to
be best in the administration OF the ex-
ecutive office.
His suggestions and proposed policy
regarding the alien ownership OF land
and the advisability of encouraging i'm
migration and the building Of homes,
are most excellent. and II carried out
will be Of vast benefit in the solid
growth and prosperity Of the State and
Of our own people.
On the same line his remarks regard
ing the advisabiity Of giving every
proper encouragement to railroads and
his condemnation of the narrow-minded
policy which tends to treat railroad
companies as the natural enemies Of the
people, are worthy of the warmest APP
proval.
In referring to the control of State in
situations aud the appointment Of their
boards and officials, the Governor gives
evidence of a firm intention to pursue
strictly business policy, looking wholly
aud solely to the best interests of these
institutions, regardless of every other
consideration.
In short IT is evident that Governor
MACCoRKLE will be his own Governor,
and will carry oct his own policy to the
letter. We admire the great Backbone
OF President CLEVELAND; we as greatly
admire the same vertebral strength in
Governor MACCoRKLE.

ITS RECORD.

The Cleveland Leader takes it very
hard. OF the outgoing administration
on Saturday it said:
a brighter record has seldom been made,
and the future viii grant TO 1t the full need
of praise which the majority of the Ameri-
can people have apparently withheld. The
present lacks perpective. II cannot COM
pare the four years just ended with other
periods in the same just and impartial
spirit as Will the men of the next genera
tiOn, and because Of this, President Harri-
son has temporarily suffered in public
opinion.
The impartial observer, however, cannot
dou0t that, whatever appreciation is now
lacking, tho f~sure will repay in rounded
In otner words, the LEuurr Ucneves,
with characteristic modesty, that the
vast majority of the American people
cannot see and Judge as clearly and
we'll as the editor of the Leader; that
they are foolish and will see their mis-
take, which he sees already.
Speaking Of the acts of the late ad-
miniStratiOn, it continues:
The Pan-American Congress and its
fruits reciprocity, International ar0itra-
ton. and increased facilities for communl-
cation between the nations Of this hemi-
spbere. would alone suffice to render the
administration Of Benjamin Harrison
memorable and experimenting, even II 1t
were not accompanied by great reouc-
ton Of the national debt, the building or a
new navy, the careful management OF all
-, ~ fnfn
active comprehension Of every great ma
tiOnal interest
The Pan-American Congress was prac-
tically failure; and whatever credit
went with it belonged to the late JAMES
G.. BLAINE, personally, and in no sense
to Mr.. HARRISON, for though part Of
the administration, Mr. BLAINE was
not in accord with its international
commercial policy, as witness his de-
nnnciation of the Mckinley tariff.
The reduction of the national debt
is an odd thing to quote in favor OF the
late extravagant administration, which
found 500, 600, 900 surplus when it went
in. and went out Of Office with its Secreta-
~ Of the Treasury on the verge OF
buying bonds and acknowledging that a
deficit was unavoidable.
The building OF a new navy" was
simply the continuation Of Secretary
WmrSEY'S plans begun under Mr.
CLEvELAND's former administration,
and line of conduct his successor
could scarcely help following.
The careful management Of all gov
ernmental affairs" attributed to the
HARRISON administration is exempli'
fed in abe slipshOd fnanciering of the
Treasury Department, the wholesale
fraud, carelessnesS and looseness Of the
pension department and the unreliable
and partisan work Of the Census Office,
Mr.. CLEvELAND's inaugural address:
is very short. 1t is one of his best ef
forts and is characteristic of the man
every word OF it, Nothing stronger
could be said in its favor. 1t will MOI
