Secretary Gresham's admin!stra-
ton of his high Office under singularly
trying conditions has been in every
sense a great administration-great
enough to do his duty upon all tempta-
tions to defect it to popular prejudice
and ~clamor-great enough to do right
by the weak, and to force the strong
to do right by ua-Louisville Courier
Journal.
The praise of Secretary Gresham
since his death has been as generous
as the abuse of him du:ing life was un-
reasoning. The truth is that the late
secretary was as honest as he was cour
aReous, and if he never reached the
highest standard of greatness he never
tel below a very respectable standard
of ability. He was a man Of lofty inn
pulses and kindly nature and his domi-
nant idea was patriotism. His place
be filed, but it will require a man
Of the best type to perform the dutiea
as he performed them. -KaRsas City

But, woe to.him. when all was done, 1t left him

One Of the most kindly and generous
Of his sex gave a five-dollar bill some
time ago to a struggling poverty
stricken colored church in southern
Virginia. So large a sum had never
before come from a single individual,
and the people were overwhelmed.
It happened that the gentleman, Mr..
c.. went to the church the following
Sunday, and took a retired veal in the
gallery. What was his amazement to
hear from the pulpit the following de-
scriptive prayer:
20 Lawd, bless Mars c. He plays
cards, he drinks, he races, he CANDLES;
but he's given Eve dollars to this
church, and, o Lawd, bless him!', Mr..

secretary Gresham.
Tho general commentator now be-
ing given the character of the late Sec
| rotary Gresham has in it an instructive
lesson. A few weeks ago it was diff
cult to exceed the abuse of him in
partisan quarters. He was actuated
by bad motives, in which personal
spite and resentments had prominent
part; he Numbered inexcusably in his
foreign policy, and involved the admin
istration of which he was a member in
odium as we'll as himself; he was by
instinct and by purpose unpatriotic;
disposed to truckle to European powers
In his foreign policy; was bringing
shame to Americans and contempt to
our country by his lack of appreciation
of what was denominated true Ameri-
canism, and his weak or worse yielding
to foreigrs' aggression. This latter
charge was made against n Of the
most gallant American soldiers that
the late war produced. No responsible
person processes to believe any of this
now. Secretary Gresham's death has
brought to his memory instant justice

Simple and credulous people, who arc
always eager to believe any wrong of a
man provided he differs from them in
politics, probably still hold to thu
prejudice, though they have the grace
not to declare it. The neareTS that
comes to its appearance in the press is
found in the insinuation that's though
Secretary Gresham had patriotic and
right impulses himself, he was pre-
vented from acting on them by Presi-
dent Cleveland, which is really only
another form Of attack on the secre-
tary, though covert and cowardly in
stead of openly abusive.
These accusations have been ex-
posed in their insincerisy, and the sub
ject of them is righted in the minds of
the American people. He would have
been compelled to wait much longer
for this, however, had he not met a
premature death. They are withdrawn

1t is an emphatic fact Of the times
that the dependency Of democrats at
the close Of last falls elections has
measurably disappeared. The ~victors
of 1894 have quite as many troubles of
their p those which affiict the
vanquished. Their success at the

the jealous rivalries of cliques and

M'KINLEY GETS A BLACK EYE.
Significance of tho Foraker Gangs VIC
tory in Ohio.
Both Of Gov. McKinley's Chicago
organs, the Inter Ocean and the Times
Herald, acknowledged that the noml-
nation of Asa s.. Bushnell for governor
by the Ohio republican state conven-
ton was a serious setback for their
presidential candidate. They are
loath to put it that way, but the tone
of their special dispatches is even more
significant than their admissions. The
Times-Herald says that Bushnell's
nomination is spoken of on all sides as
"a victory of Foraker over Mckinley"
and the Inter Ocean admits that Gov.
Mckinley has been Inundated in his
own state by his own party"
In order to let the discounted Nc
Kinley faction down easy, the Foraker
crowd, after gathering in the gov
ernorship cherry, presented the pit of
a presidential Endorsement to Gov.
Mckinley. Now, everybody knows the
value of this presidential pit. 1t is
like the apples Of sodom, beautiful to
look upon, but bitter ashes to him who
attempts its mastication. If anyone
doubts this, let him inquire of John
Sherman, address, Mansfield, o. He
has had this pit presented TO him by
the Ohio cherry eaters quadrennially
for the past sixteen years. At last he
has learned to say: mo, thank you,"

Could this be some trick of the

trouble with this was that it came
from nowhere, and went nowhere.
I said to myself: There are such

this: I would lie down in exactly the

the room would assume the dread APP

the light again, lay down with my
head in the very depression it had left

and there was my man, Or ghost, again.
Now l did not sprin g, but simply

straight before me, and 10! my ghost

On a chair, just across the room, was

they were SO frightful when the owner
had them on, but now the illusion was
perfect. The coat and vest hung over
the back of the chair, the white shirt
was laid carefully over them from the

smoothly down, while the trousers
