Lincoln and Mckinley.

Those who are old enough to reinem-
ber the campaign Of 1860 will recall the
fact that previous to the Chicago Con-
vention the political interrogators were
after Lincoln just as they are now after
Mckinley. They insisted that he should
define his position on the fugitive slave
law and tell what he would do in the
event Of the secession of the South
Their pretended anxiety about his views
in these respects was simply trick, OF
course, to draw expressions from Elm
hat could be used to his disadvantage.
But the device did not work. He was
politician Of too much sense and expert
ence to be caught in such trap. In an
swer to all inquiries Of that sort, he point
ed to his record, and said he must be
Judged by it as to his opinions and pur-
poses. He understood very well that the
persons who thus questioned him were
not honestly seeking information or striv-
ing to serve the party or the country, but
only trying to prevent his nomination.
They called him a straddler and accused
him of cowardice and insincerity, but
he preserved an amiable silence, never
theless, and left his case to the people.
The reuslt proved that there had not
been any necessity for him to speak,
and certainly there was never any cause
for regret that he was nominated and
elected.
The fact that Mckinley is now pursu-
ing the same course under similar cir
cumstances only goes to show that he Is
like Lincoln in the way Of detecting the
object Of his interrogators and declining
to assist them in accomplishing it. He
has been conspicuous figure in public
life for many years, and there is no lack
of testimony in his numerous speeches
as to his views npon all important issues.
The people know all about him and are
entirely willing to trust him. There is
nothing for him TO say that would be
likely to make the country any surer
tbah nc ~ q Dlhh Vi sDiiiNJb ihNSRihJ
patriotism; and his self-respecting refu
sal to crafty his opponents by answer
ing their impertinent questions will con-
firm and increase the public feeling in
his favor. He has a perfect right to
"hold his BREATH" as il is Gippantly
called by Democratic organ, and as
matter Of propriety he cannot do other
wise II would be decidedly in bad taste
for him TO assume the function Of out
lining platform for his party. That is
the business Of the Convention, and he
has nothing To do with it, There is not
the least danger that he will fail to abide
in good faith by the action OF that body
on all pending questions; and there is
just as little reason to doubt that the St.
Louis platform will be perfectly salts
factory in every way 10 the voters who
are 10 elect the next President. That is
the appropriate and conclusive answer
to all inquiries that are abviously intend
ed 10 serve a dishonest and mischievous
purpose.

Political ~ otcs.

The Republican primary in Allegheny
County resulted in the complete over
throw Of the Quay reform-movement.
The Performers" carried but II Of the
2o7 districts in Pittsburg, and in Allie
gheny, and the county they Jared but
little better. In Scwickly, where "son
Dick" lives, Mckinley received 73 votes
to Quay's 2. Col. Stone and 'Robt Nc
Afee OF Allegheny will have 10 vote for
Mckinley at St, Louis, next week, or
else break their pledges.
John Wanamaker gave Bois Penrosc
close fight for Senator in the old stand
by Quay county Of Huntingdon. Quay
probably wants to make Penrose y. s j.
Senator 10 spite Martin.
The special train that will take the
Pennsylvania delegation 10 St. Louis,
will leave Broad ST. station, Philadelphia
tomorrow night.
The Republican party in Pennsylvania
has declared itself in favor Of the noui-
nation Of Senator Quay for President. A
few years ago the New York World pub
lishcd a detailed narrative which showed
that this man had been an embezzlcr OF
public funds. The charge was not
answered by Mr.. Quay, nor did he see fit
to meet the challenge Of the newspaper
III which the charge was published, and
which offered 10 send responsible
person TO Pennsylvania if Mr.. Quay
would agree TO serve him with papers in
libel suit. Mr.. Quay still rests under
the odium Of those charges, and neither
the Republican party nor the voters Of
Pennsylvania can whitcwash him by
naming for President, or by elccting him
and his creatures 10 pubic places. In
doing these things they merely cover
the party and the State with the disgrace
which Quay has earned, and which all
who approve Of him must share.

Plants in pots make an especially at
tractive dressing for the veranda. And
here, too, they can be easily cared for.
To show them to the best advantage put
up shelf just inside the rail, and lit
tie below it In this way the flowers
will show to great advantage from the
outside and the pots will be in no dan
ger of being overturned, as they surely
are when resting upon the broad top of
a veranda rail. Another advantage thus
gained is that the pots are not fully ex-
posed to the sun, and the roots are not
likely to be burned out. A flower box Of
considerable length, and just high
enough to cover the top of the rail, will
also prove very attractive when filed
with choice collection of flowers. It
does house plants much good, moreover,
70 get them out of doors in this way for
the summer months, while in the posi-
ton shown they can be much more cas-
lily cared for than when IN the house

When They Came Together, There was
Fun In TIE Assembly Chamber.
Mike Walsh was a unique character well
known in New York about so years ago. a
man who began life as a printer and turn
ed his attention to politics. He was de-
voted to practical jokes, and one day car
ried out an elaborate and premeditated
pleasantly in the assembly chamber at AL
bany.
Mr.. Watson, a member from Albany.
had red hair, and very small amount of
it. He had been absent several DAYS from
the assembly, but now he reappeared wear
ing huge black wig. He rose to read a
speech on some question before the house,
but before he had proceeded far Mike
Walsh sprang up and shouted, Mr..
Speaker!''
The speaker quietly remarked that tbs
gentleman from Albany had the floor
Mr.. Speaker cried Walsh, ST rise to
a point of order
Then the speaker asked the gentleman
from Albany to be seated while the gentle
man from New York should state his point
of order.
''NIr. Speaker, - said Walsh. CT should
like to know by what right ignorant and
stupid bores, not members of this house,
dare get within the railing of this assem-
bly, and attempt to inhict upon US their
stupid speechesi''
BY this time most of the members began
to see the drift of the joke. The speaker,
trying to suppress a SMILE said gently:
The chair is of the opinion that the
member from Albany is member"
81 tell you" shouted the joker, "that
Mr.. Watson is the member from Albanyl''
Then, apparently with sudden thought,
he left his place, walked up to Watson, and
STOPPING down looked at him searchingly.
He threw up his hands in we'll simulated
amazement sit is" he shou5ed-'it Is

Over 200 computations are made of the
time between the beginning of the Chris
tan era and the creation, resulting from
the discrepancy between the Hebrew, the
Septuagint and the Samaritan ages; the
longest, by Regimontanus, who makes the
distance of time between the creation and
the birth of Christ 1884 years. Next comes
that of Clement of Alexandria, which fixes
it at 1924. Next after him is the version
based on the Septuagint, 55o8. Next
comes Archbishop Usher, with 1904, and,
finally, Rabbi Lipmsn9, With a616 Yeas.
