What il to become of tx President

men probably more than 1t Is worrying
Mr.. Harrison himgcf 1t has been eug-
gested that he be made secretary Of state
in the Mckinley cabinet, or that he be
elected senator from lnGiana. And this
has led to discussion Of whether the
acceptance Of either office would be
proper and dignitied under the circum-
stances. AG usual, opinions vary widely,
but there hardly seems ground for such
debate. Mr. Harrison is simply a pri-
Vate citizen, and neither custom nor
good eenee require him to pass his days
in idlenese. Ae matter Of good taste
there might be an objection TO bis filing

Great Falls weekly tribune., 1896-12-11

In rather al interesting editorial para
graph the Yellowstone journal sets forth
the claims Of Col Sanders to recognition
at the hands of the Mckinley admins
trstion. This is all right, but let there
be no mistake about it. The mOdesty of
Col. Sanders will not prevent him from
making and pressing his demands for
"pie" when the proper time arrives, and
the journal must be perfectly aware OF
the fact.
In the article spoken of it is apparent
that Col. Gordon does not intend to
have il 20 forth that Col, Sanders is the
only goldbug in the state or the only
one that is entitled to share in the re-
wards of victory, for he naively refere to
"the few Of US who stayed by the old
etandard,'' thus indicating that he does
not propose to hide his light under a
bushel. There is no reason why he
should, for III the giving out Of plume
rather a juicy one should fall INTO his
lap, if it does not he ought to reach for
it or knock it off with pole. Col. Cor.
don's services are as well worthy Of re-
ward as are those OF Col. Sanders, and il
the reward is not forthcoming the news

THE M'NALLY MURDER.
Loss of Interest in the Christ
mas Night Crime.
One Reason Why II is a Hard Case to
Solve.

The detectives are undoubtedly still at
work on the McNally murder case, but it
ceased to be matter of local interest
within very few days after it occurred
and was lost sight OF entirely by the news
papers and their readers when the more
interesting exploit of the safe breakers at
the Eagle Brewery was brought to light.
AS it is now the police have no clues as to
the identity of the men who caused the
young horse jockeys death and one Of
the detectives said that it would probably
go on record as ore of the unpunished
crimes.
The McNally murder furnishes an ex-
ception to the general rule that most
everyone is willing and anxious to help
officers in their efforts TO bring offenders to
justice. The murdered mans chief charac-
teristic was his willingness to settle q
dispute with his fists and that becomes
unpopular even with the class OF young
men with whom he associated. They say
that no was always "going down in de
alley" with someone for a
scrap, and that he went down
just once too often. They are not glad
nc was killed, but in their way consider
it case in which a man got what he de-
served; hence the unwillingness OF all
who have been questioned by the police
TO say anything. They don't look on it as
murder case, but es one OF the alley
scraps in which, for once at least, McNal-
Iy got the worst of it, and to which his
death was merely Incidental and an un-
forseen result. They don't want the man
arrested and tried for murder which was
not intended. All of which is the view of
the case taken by the officers.

SPORTING GOSSIP.
pAwTucKRT DEFEATED NEW BEDFORD.

Pawtucket played at New Bedford last
evoning and defeated the home team by the
score of 10 to 4. During the carly period the
game was we'll played, but the lively Tigers
with their triangular passing were too much
for the whalers. Later Dunning and Whiting
engaged in fight, resulting in the usual ex
hibition Of blows that are gradually tending
to lower the standard of the sport.
Fall River visited Salem last evening. and
after fast and exciting game fell victim
10 the home team, losin. the game by the
score of TO Q. Menard received frightful
blow on the head from ball driven by
wodtke, but soon recovered himself, and was
able to walk home. Williams was substituted
in his place.

THE NEW soUTH.

Assuming the truth Of the report that
the Atlanta Exposition now closed re-
ceived only a gingerly support and small
patronage from the people of the neigh
boring states, the conclusion deducted
is that the New South is by no means all
walked up and that a good deal of it is
yet old.
The Atlanta Exposition has been
successful enterprise as such things go.
Ii could not have been expected that
mo 1ey would be directly earned from the
Exposition ss q purely business enter
prise, or that even would expenses be
paid. But, as matter of fact, the Ex-
position has come out exceedingly well
with its finances. Its larger purpose to
exhibit and still further promote the de-
velopment OF the New South has been, it
is believed, ,gratifyingly accomplished, and
IL for no other reason than that situa-
ito that was not looked for has been ex-
posed this is measurably so.
The Exposition has indicated pretty
clearly that the South has still good
deal OF waking up 10 do. The great dis
appointment from the enterprise has
been the absence OF any great interest in
it from the people OF the Southern states,
and even from the Georgi ians themselves
outside Atlanta and the larger cities.
The Northern press doomed tie Exposi-
tion far more literally than did the press
OF the South, and the attendance OF
Northern people was far more notable
than any interest inspired in Southern
folk. There were doubtless local iesl-
ousies at work in neighboring Southern
states to put a damper on the enterprise,
but beyond that and deeper was un-
doubtedly the old Southern spirit OF COM
| pIacent disregard OF what Is doing in
the world, the indisposition to "get a
move on" and the general atmosphere OF
Indifference to anything too far removed
| from the individual door yard. A num-
ber of towns in the South like Atlanta
have come to show new vigor and a
spirit of up-to.d dat'ness. Their enterprise
has given US the--..impression that their
spirit was infused throughout the South.
But the Atlanta Exposition seems to have
exposed the fallacy of this idea.

The life insurance agent presented MS
recently with a lead pencil having the
company's name on II. IL looked like
a good thing and we thought we would
push Il along. When we tried 10 sharpen
IL without breaking the lead, however,
we came 10 the conclusion that the COM
pany knew what II was doing when IL
gave them out. Before we found a
good spot in that lead, we had wasted
nerve power enough to make US feel that
perhaps we had better not leave our fam
lilies unprotected after we had gone. So
we got insured by smother company.
That was the only revenge we could
think OF.

Howard Roll of Honor of the Congrega.
tional Home Missionary Society now
contains $40 subscribers, Of 500 each. OF
these, 2Ol shares have been taken by 1854
churches; 1873 shares by organizations
such as Sunday schools, ladies' missionary
societies and societies of Christian En-
deavov, and in few instances combina-
lions of individuals not formally organ
lied into societies. -Four hundred and
nine shares have been pledged by indi-
vldusls ;oI5 have come from the New Eng
land states, the remainder being SCAT
tered over the rest of the country. The
origin OF the roll of honor was at the an
nual meeting of the society in Saratoya
last June. Gen. Howard, president,
made the suggestion that there must be
l4O0 individuals in Congressional
churches who could readily subscribe 500
apiece and so wipe out the back debt of
$134, 900. The $40, 900 to be covered by
Gen. Towards proposition was this debt
with accruing interest At the annual
meeting some forty shares were taken by
individuals and in the name OF a few
ohurches.s The society uniformly receives
large percentage of it's annual income

subscribers are secured within the next
few weeks, the total of the roll of honor
will then be 500, O00
