West YIrgIhIa's Dead Senator

~
Senator Ksnna made a strong mans
brave fight against death, but at last he
had to slccumb to the inevitable. His
days OF Improvement are now seen to
have been days Of deluslon. II good
wishes could have spared his life and
restored him to usefulness, the cure
would have been accomplished easily.
Men who had met him in the clash Of
political controversy heard with regret
that his hours on earth were passing
swiftly, and they would have served
him il they could.
Mr. Kenna had unusual success as
politician, accomplishing long before
his prime that which men OF mature
years esteem prize enough for life Of
endeayor. Entering the house Of rep.
resentatives at twenty-eight years Of
age. the senate at thirty-fve, he was
serving his second term as a senator

get how fierce a reiormsr Mr.. Cleveland
used to be? That is what turned the
MugWump heart to him.
Oyerlondine Mr.. CIeVeland,

II is remarked that Mr., oleYeland's
administration will have unusual OPP
portunitles 10 make a great name or q
great failure, SO many questions arc
pressing for solution, Some Of these
questions are the tariff, immigration,
admission Of new states, the Nicaragua
canal, Boring sea controversy, the an
nexation Of Canada,
The last Of these questions will not
bother Mr.. cleyeland's administration,
On this side Of the divide ii Is not a
question at all. Canada is worked up
over 1t, but the great United States
serenely awaits the development OF the
Canadian mind and circumstances,
The tariff question should be solved
easily enough. There is the Chicago
platform, on which the Democratic
party trlumphed, All 1T has to do is to
stick to those pledges, and that question
will be out Of the way.
II Congress will do its duty the i'm
migration question will be settled be-
fore Mr., Cleveland goes into Office, and
settled on the American aide,
The Nicaragua canal undertaking
should have all the encouragement that
Congress can give it, taking caro- that
the interests Of this country are well
guarded. This alsojs matter for Con-
gress to deal with,
The Boring sen controversy Is on the
way to peaceful settlement Mr. Cleye-
land will not have much trouble on
that score unless he seeks 1t,
lfthe Democrats have the senate new
states thRtwould bring new Democratic
strength will be admitted.
Wherefore it appears that il Mr.,
Cleveland will try to content himself
with being President and not under.
take to center in himself all the func-
tions OF government his coming adj
ministratisn psgSnot bs;so wearing on
him as his close friends seem to fear,
1t is not the intention OF tho consti-
tuition to wear out the President in two
or three spirited rounds with things
that do not concern his office.

Tho Younger De Lesscps as aWitness.
NJ. Charles ledasseps is a terocious
witness. He does not hesitate to say
that an immense lump sum was given
by the Panama company to Baron de
Reinach to get its scheme through. No
questions were asked, and do Reinach
had to have .whatyhe demanded. So
with other influential people.
1t was influence that the company
wanted in order to play its little game
on the people and induce them to give
up their money. ofcourse the company
was sinned against rs well % shining,
but this docs not concern the govern
ment. The present point is that pub
lie servants Of high position were
bribed with the compauy's money to do
the company's work.
This is what the government takes
note Of, and thisis what is likely to pull
down some big men and end in sending
some OF them to prison for a long term.
Nothing more shameless than the use
Of the Panama company's money on
French legislators has been known in
any country in recent years.

Presentation Service Which Was Lost

A famous tea set of silver, which
cost 81, 500. and was presented TO John
Daggett, now superintendent of the
San Francisco mint, in 1872, was
placed SO IN after for safe-keeping in

Safes. cellars lofts were ransached,
but no chest with a screwed lid was

years.

fere with HIS Athletics.
A former student of Yale tells the
following story at the expense of
President Porter: In one of the class
divisions was young fellow active in
athletics who found IL difficult to
blend proficiency in baseball with the
forty pages of advance and review
which made up the normal day
lesson in DR.. Porter's bulky volume ON
Human Intellect"
Taking advantage of DIR. Porter's
easygoing rccitstions. the young fell
low hit on the following device: He
divided the forty pages into eight
sections of Eve pages each. For each
section he prepared an answer. usually
based on suggestive line or two,
sometimes evolved purely from inner
conscGpasness !,
:, At Tectfations he simply watched
Dir. Porter turn the pages, basing his
answer absolutely ON the pages turned
From pages five to ten meant answer
No 9. from pages twenty-five to thirty
answer No q, and SO. on, not the
slightest attention otherwise being
paid to the question. The young
pioneer in psychology, who ratified
on the answer with all the fexibilitv
of speech aud earnestness he could
command, always met a gracious
smile from DR. Porter, and found
subsequently by this audacity he had
secured stand in psychology among
the first half-dozen in the class
Years after he met DIR. Porter and
explained the trick and the result
The president turned the thing
prettily: "Mr. Blank" answered he,
