A GREAT ADMINISTRATION.
why General HarrisOn Can Face the
Future with Serenity.

1iiftdSO lHtti OIcdH.
Ex-Presiden Harrison Is reported 10 have
said to the New York reporter who tried
to interview him as TO who would be the
Republican presidential candidate next
1t might not be fair TO assume that the
ex-President referred TO himself. even If
he said this. but IT would come nearer APP
iiticaI leader of to-day. General Harrison
has steadily refused to discuss politics ex-
cept as 1t applied to the great election vic
tories. He has attended to his own private
business and his law practice. and so far
as known has no bureaus at work for him
or agents hunting delegates. No one is au-
thorized to speak for him and say that he
Is a candidate, or will be next year; and
yet there is no open candidate who is so
much feared by those who want the nomi-
nation. and those who desire 10 control
the convention. This is not because the eX-
President Is popular Will the politicians,
or because of personal popularity with
those who are likely to be delegates in the
convention. 1t is simply because of the
record his administration made and which
stands out in such marked contrast TO the
administrations Of Grover Cleveland which
The administration Of Harrison was a
typical Republican administration Its
popularity rested upon the principles Of the
issue, but upon all that have grown into
the history OF the country. There Is no one
issue represented by Mckinley, Reed, ALI
son, Morton. or any other Republican that

to secure a free ballot and a fair count.
maintained the dignity of the government
at home and abroad. upheld the Monroe
doctrine, recognized the republic OF Hawaii.
and was, in fact, a typical American admin
istration. And with Its close ended a period
of greatest prosperity the country has ever
known.
President Harrison never claimed any
credit for the success Of his administra-
ton as due to himself personally. He was -
Republican, and carried out the policy OF
the Republican party, which was RESPONSE
BILE for the government during his admins
tration.
1t was a typical Republican administia>
ton. and it's record a glorious one. Never
theless. General Harrison's head and hand
having directed IL. on his name IL must re-
fleet glory. He may not care for another
term as President. but there is no other
political leader who can wait upon the
future with more serenity than he.

How the Count Is Lavish with His

activity on the part of the Count and
Countess De Castellane, who are busy pre-
pairing their magnificent hotel i'm the

day. This mansion. which is TO cost I don't

OF the first rocket she had not been ciseov-

match for the ship. Her speed exceeded
but slightly fifteen knots during her at
tacks. and in the last attack II did not
reach this. since the run was so short that
neers could not get down to work before
orders were received TO slow down.

of the United States that q torpedo boat has
