WHAT THE EDITORS SAY.
chicago HsraId.


A few days ago Governor William NC
Kinley, of Ohio, called In q social way
at the White House aud remained some
time with President Cleveland, oy
whom he was treated with the greatest
cordiality and respect. He also treated
the President with greas cordially ana
respect, and the visit was mutuaiiy
pleasant in all particulars. President
Cleveland expressed sympathy for Gov
ernor Mckinley in his business losses
which was received in the same
spirit. Evidently politics is losing
most OF its fierce asperities, and that
wars Of parties rarely embitter the per-
sonal relations of individuals arrayed
against each other in the strife OF prin-
ciples. Senator Thurman, OF Ohio, and
Senator Edmunds, OF Vermont, we're
cronies and chums and uniformly made
their customary bibulnus visits to the
cloak room in the company OF each
other. Many members of both houses
of Congress belonging to opposite par
ties and different sections are on terms
of cordial intimacy. This is pleasant
feature of the present political and So
cial condition Of the country.

HARRIsON's LAST OFFICIAL ACT
Was to Sign q Pension Bill Granting a
Pension to a Woman.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 19.-Nu-
merous stories have been written rela-
tive to the last official act Of President
Harrison, but the exact facts have not
been made known altogether, although
much pathos has been thrown into the
incidents related. There were but two
bills passed by both Houses Of the last
Congress that failed TO become laws by
reason of the lack Of time to enroll
them. These were bills to place Maj.
Geo. S. Green on the retired list and to
authorize commander Dennis w.
Mullen, U. S. N, to accept
medal presented to him
by the Chilean government. The last
bill signed by the President was that
granting a pension of $50 to Eliza
Alden McCawley, widow of Charles
Grimes McCawley, late commandant OF
the United States marine corps. The
The House of Representatives was al
ready in the Senate chamber when the
bill with its companion came over and
was placed before the secretary Of the
Senate. Believing IL was simply i'm
possible to enroll them at that hour the
secretary handed them to the enrolling
clerk remarking that they would have
to be laid aside as lost. The clerk, Mr..
b. S. Platt, glanced at them and saw
that one granted a pension to woman
and was short In its wording. Hurrying
to his room he sent a messenger asking
the President If he would wait five min
utes, as he would have pension bill for
him to sign. The President replied that
he would wait, and Mr., Platt dictated
the text of the bill to a rapid penman.
1t was not beautifully written, but it
was got out in shape sufficiently good
to pass muster, and Mr.. Platt rushed
into the Senate chamber, and secured
the signatures OF the Speaker, Vice
President Morton and Secretary Nc
Cook. BY this time the chamber was
so crowded that he could not get out,
and handing the bill over the heads Of
the crowd, MIR. Platt asked that it be
taken to the Presidents room. Mr..
Platt subsequently reached the room
himself in time to see the President
sign the bill and lay down his pen. 1t
was the last official act Of the retiring
President.
