General Harrison refused to promote
her son .in-law notwithstanding her and
her husbands most urgent appeals;
that Mr.. Blaine was dead; that her two
sons were gone, and that in other ways
death had entered her family; that the
only request she had to make of the
man who had beaten her dead husband
for the presidency was the appointment
Of the husband Of her daughter to
a brigadier generalship. Mr.. Cleveland
is not the man to refuse such an appeal
as this. He could not decline to grant
a request put upon basis OF sentiment
and gallantry in this manner. Harrison
had refused her the same thing. although
he well understood what the penalty
would be. He knew Mrs. Blaine would
stir her husband to opposition to the
presidents renomination-an expecta-
ton which was quickly verified. Presi-
dent Harrison told Secretary of War
Elkins that he could not promote Cop
pinger because that officer was not CON-
petent to fill the post Of brigadier gen.
eral, and, having reached that conclusion
Harrison was the man to stand to it in
the face Of all opposition and dispute,
despite appeals"
When Benjamin Harrison comes to
write his autobiography this Coppinger
incident will make one OF his most inter
esting chapters. The present contro-
versey concerning the nature of the in.
fiuence which induced President Cleve-
land to promote that officer seems trivial
in comparison with the effects of
General Harrison's refusal to do the
same thing. General Harrison, if he
wishes, will be able to tell how Mrs.
Blaine lost her temper when he last re-
fused her appeals, threatened him with
defeat, slammed the door of the cabinet
room and flew down stairs and across
the park to the Blaine mansion. Mr..
Harrison will be able to tell that within
two hours Mr.. Blaine's friends knew
that his name could be used as candi-
date for the presidential nomination in
last desperate effort to defeat the re-
nomination Of Harrison If General
Harrison chooses to carry his descrip-
ton OF the episode to its logical con-
clusion he may attribute his defeat for
second term to his failure to accede
to Mrs. Blaine's request in behalf of her
much discussed but really very common
place son-in-law. A good many astute
politicians believe Harrison might have
been reelected but for the trouble which
arose between him and Blaine, due to
the Vaccinations Of Mrs. Blaine, and
which had its effect upon a large num-
Der of voters in New York and other
states

This man is an odd character. He
has no social position. His business
and surroundings have been such that
men who willing are to pay him
the most abject tribute in the street,
could not well meet him in their homes.
Withal, he is better man than many OF
his associates. He makes no pretensions,
and he doesn't extort money from those
to whom he gives his influence, like
some of the politicians who move in his
class; and herein is one Of the strange
things that are occasionally found in
politics. This man gives three fourths
of his time to politics. He makes poll
tics his chief business. He interests
himself in behalf OF some men and works
night and day for them. He opposes
other men and works just as hard
against them. And for what, it may be
asked, is he so active as politician. 1t
is not charged that there is price on his
friendship and cooperation. There are
no stories of his holding up candidates.
"All / want" he says, sis to be treated
square. / don't want anybody that I
help to go back on me. want them to
use me right Treating him square
and using him right consists in bolster
ing up his political power-in helping
those whom he sants helped. The
man seems to take great satisfaction in
the fact that men are forced to come to
him. This satisfaction is, largely, the
compensation he gets out Of politics.
The courier. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1894-1903, 1895-05-11

He Uses men to further his ambitions.
Sometimes he gives little consideration
to the individual preferments of those
whom he would use. His will must be
paramount. In a ward meeting he
rules with absolute power. He is not a
parliamentarian; but he gets there Just
the same. He allows men to talk and
shuts them off at will. He states his
wishes and he gives the meeting to
understand that what he says goes.
And it does. In the last city republican
convention he exerted his power to the
uttermost, and when he raised the pole
the persimmons dropped. 1t was a
sight to gee him! He moved around
among the delegates, passing the word
along. He made men get up and make
speeches. He pulled men off their feet
who had, in his opinion, talked long
enough. He approached the solid citi-
zen and calmly told him how to vote.
And he saw that the vote was cast as
he desired. Ills personality dominated
the convention. The men he wanted
nominated were nominated. But there
was not any actual money in his success.
1t is doubtful il he is any richer now
than he was a year ago. Indeed, it is
probable that he is poorer. Misfortune
has lately knocked at his door.

RUSSIA, col ONIST.

Frank G.. Carpenter 1 was
struck with one thing III my visit
to Siberia, and that was that the
Russians propose to hold the
country for themselves. They
don't intend to throw it open to the
world, though they are glad to have
citizens who will take an oath OF
allegiance to Russia and become
Russian subjects. The laws of the
country are now such that only
Russian citizens can acquire prop
erty, develop mines or do business.
One of the requirements Of citizen
ship is that the applicant must be
able to speak Russian, and the peo-
pie do not propose to be overrur
by lot of foreign-speaking aliens
as America is. The mines are oper
to all the Russians with the single
proviso, as l said, that the
Government have the frs

SERMON AND PREACHER.

Among the leading men OF this
country may very properly be
classed the Ri. Rev. Alfred Willis,
Bishop of Honolulu. He is the
head of the Church of England,
the publisher OF periodical and an
educational factor. He is a strong
and influential if peculiar or per
haps an eccentric personality. OF
his scholarship and zeal there can
be no doubt. His Easter sermon,
given in THE STAR today, has an
orthodox turn. 1t would pass
anywhere for the discourse OF an
earnest, thoughtful and devoted
tender of a flock. 1t is not
at all the kind of a sermon
one would expect from the lips OF
a man of Bishop Willis local re-
pute. That is one of the reasons
we are pleased to give it space
Another reason is that it urges the
cause of Christianity. To many
people Of Honolulu this sermon will
serve as a searchlight view OF
the Bishop. For several years he
has been paraded i'll local prints as
a politician Of the type welded to
merciless criticism. Nothing OF
that is revealed in the sermon
One can scarcely come to realize
that the man who lanpoons and
abuses and calmly stabs the ADJ
ministraton in a church gazette Is
the man who intends as vigorously
that the resurrection is the life ano
that constant worship is the highest
duty. To THE STAR this is inter
esting, and contemplation OF each
picture and of the two together
must appeal to all students OF mel
and events.
