Mr.. Carlisle says: '"There was a
sturdy Americanism in Carter Har-
rison which endeared him to all men
who love our country and love patri-
otto citizens. He was good repre-
sentative and manly man."
Vice President Stevenson says:
"The State of Illinois and the entire
country have suffered an irreparable
loss. am too much overcome with
personal grief to say anything more
now. l am greatly agitated. l can
not realize that the light of a great
life is thus cruelty snuffed out"

William M. Springer says: "Poor
dear, lovable Carter Harrison. His
great career was poisoning into per

Carter Il. Harrison, his great grand
father and his brother, Benjamin
Harrison, the signer of the Declaration
of Independence and father of Will

the annals Of the infancy of the
United States OF America.
Early inter-marriages linked the
Harrison family with the Ra ldolphs,

Thomas Jefferson and John Randolph
were near of kin, to the latter the

located in Kentucky in 1912. His
father and grandfather were graduates
of William and Mary College.
When he was eight months old his
father died, but the circumstances of
the family we're left in an unusually
promising condition.
When he was Is Garter was placed
under the scholastic care OF Dr. Louis
Marshall, brother of the Chief Justice
and father OF the famous Kentucky
orator, Thomas T. Marshall.
In 1916 he graduated from Yale Col

His political life commenced in 1877
when he was elected County Com

by the Democrats to Congress t
represent q strongly Republican dil

He reduced the Republican majol

SLOW-8URNING BUILDINGS.
Comparative Danger i'm Pitch Pine aNd

Nothing is more common. after a

building. like the Ames and other
buildings lately destroyed in Boston,
than to hear such sneering remarks as
That was what the architects call a
fire-proof building. l wonder why they

know. made only by owners and real

who. as we think. have set an exagger
ated value on the virtues of two-inch
planks. do not seem to have had any
1t was reported few days ago that
all policies of insurance in Boston Oh
buildings having floor beams of pitch
pine were to be Cancelled on account of
the particularly infiammable nature of
that timber. 1t is not likely that any
such proceeding. which would deprive
of insurance nearly all the so-callod
''slow-burning' buildings in the city,
was ever really contemplated. but the
report certainly indicates that some
insurance man had been seized with
the notion that a building with pitch
pine beams and floors was more com
bustible than one with spruce or white
pine timbers.
Architects. of course, do not need to
be told that the contrary is the case.
While pitch is undoubtedly an infiam-
mable material. the timber containing
it is so dense and heavy as to be kindled
with far more difficulty than the light
spruce or soft pine. When exposed to
great heat a cubic foot of pitch pine.
which weighs about fifty pounds, will
burn with more intensity than cubic
foot of spruce, which weighs only
thirty, just as fifty pounds of coal will
produce more heat than thirty pounds:
bat the same rule applies to the extra
thickness of floors so much favored by
underwriters, and it is not at all evil
dent why an additional 90 per cent. OK
material spread on top of
a floor should be good thing, while
an addition of 80 per cent to the weight
of the timbers supporting it should be
so bad thing that the Underwriters
should refuse to insure buildings SO

GOV. M'KlNlEY'S WORDS.
The DiscouraginG Outlook of q Divided
Party.

Party.
Thus far the democratic adminlstra-
ton has simply doled out offices. There
has been nothing else in hand. The near
est approach to anything additional was
the hauling down of the American flag
in Hawaii and the suspension OF
the Chinese registration law pending
litigation to test its validity. These
incidents were both open to criticism
as lacking due authority. Mr.. Blount
is not clothed with power sufficient to
warrant his flag order, and the bust
ness of the executive is to execute the
law as found on the statute books until
such time. if ever. as the supreme court
may annul the act as unconstitutional.
These two features of the three months
record made by the new administration
indicate loose and unsound views of
the limitations of executive authority.
But the real test of the party in power
is yet to come, and it will mainly be at
the capitol end of Pennsylvania
avenue. Congress is the great power in
this country. During Mr.. Cleveland's
first term the two wings did not flop to-
gether, and there was nothing done
outside the routine. Now the democrats
have everything their own way and
cannot shirk the responsibility of
power.
As Gov. Mckinley well put it, the re-
publicans of the country still believe
that protection is not a robbery and is
not unconstitutional: that the act of
1890 is not the eliminating atrOcity of
class legislation; that reciprocity is not
sham. and that the state banking cur
rency is not the best with which to
measure the exchanges of the people"
On these three points, if the democratic
party is true to its pledges. the issues
will be sharply drawn, nor will these be
the only issues. Others are bound 10
arise. but are not as clearly outlined in
advance. The coin question is sure to
perplex the party in power. and may
prove the most embarrassing question
before the next congress. The repub-
lican party. if in power, would prob
ably repeal the Sherman silver act. but
take good care not to disturb bimetal-
ism. The democratic party is divided
into two extremes on this subject, and
il is impossible to guess how they will
finally act. The republicans can afford
to abide the result with equanimity.-

POLITICAL DRIFT.

Even the democrats have found
out by this time that an adverse bal
ance of trade is not a good thing for a
country like this.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.
''Carlisle's bad boy" is what the
mugwumps now call Logan Carlisle,
who has been violating all the civil
service reform rules on the statute
books.-IOwa State Register.
wMr Cleveland will soon ask his
attorney general for an opinion re-
garding the constitutionality of the
sugar bounty. it is said. And when Mr..
Olney has time to spare from advising
his railways he will probably give it to
him--Cleveland Leader.
UA democratic paper takes occa-
sion to say that the republican party
can gain nothing by democratic mis-
takes. Well, no: it can make no per-
manent gains by that means. If it
could, how richly endowed it would
have become by this time.-Chicago
Inter Ocean.
~ The preparations to check, in
every possible way, the granting of any
more pensions. go merrily on The
local medical boards heretofore have
been composed of two adherents of the
dominant party and one of the minor
ity. Commissioner Lochren has deter
mined to appoint all three members of
each board from the democratic party.
His alleged reason is that he is expected
% ferret out frauds among the pension
en- now on the rolls and to prevent the
issuance hereafter of certificates to un-
worthy and fraudulent applicants, and
to accomplish this he wants men in inn
portant positions under him whom he
can hold responsible politically as well
as officially. It's going to be hard

Hungry Bourbons Barred Out by Their
High Chief.
The triumphant democracy of tire
United States elected a president Ias.
November. and he is safely iustaile,. in
the white house. The woe Ito demo
crats) of republican control is past. brt
another and greater woe has come
quickly upon them. For OF what profit
is it to the democracy to have a presl-
dent, if they cannot appeal to him for
offices? And now he has stationed
guards in uniform at the white house
doors, and 10! the triumphant democ-
racy has not the password wherewith to
gain an entrance within the portals.
The unfeeling guards are obdurate to
the most agonized pleading. The presi-
dent denies himself to the people who
made him what he is, as an eastern
potentate secludes himself within the
recesses of his harem. The man who
would to-day have been an obscure Buff
falo lawyer. had it not been for the
favor of the people. refuses to confer
with those whose votes lifted him from
lowly station to the highest position in
the peoples gift. And this is utterly
intOlerable to the average democrat,
the first article of whose creed is that
to the victOrs belong the spoil. and
that its division among them should be
the first and most important business
of a new administration.
The order of the president that he
would see no applicant for office person
ally. except at his own personal invita-
ton, is supplemented by the vigilance
of the guards at the door: and the
