THE PRESIDENT >or 4 MENDICANr.

TIE president NOr \ ME>DICANI.
The Chicago Dispatch. in discussing
some Of the gifts Mckinney has re-
ceived. points out that General Grant
was the first President that ever &C
cepred gifts from personal friends who
had favors TO ask. Thoroughly honest
himself. he saw no Interior motive be-
hind an expression Of good will that
took the form Of a present But II
was a cloud on his administration, and
those more worldly than he, taking
advantage Of kindness of heart and 10y
atty TO friendship. cost him in after
life many @ heartache. Black Fridays,
Be,kraD steals. whisky ring rouenness,
Nullett frauds and naval Jobs under
Secor Robson would not have been
possible if the soldier-president had
been more cautious.
Mckinley is also an honest man, and
his fourteen years in the House and
his administration Of the executive al
fairs Of Ohio ought TO have taught him
discretion.
Already he is placing himself in an
eouivocal position, We are sorry 10 say
and in the hope that a word OF warn
ing may be timely and, perhaps, acted
upon. We sound it.
Mark Hannas brother has given the
president-e.ect summer home IN
Massachusetts. The gift should be de-
cnned. Mr.. Mckinley will soon be IN
the enjoyment of a very large income
which ought TO enable a man OF his
simple tastes to save fully 100000 dur
ing TIE presidential term. He is not
in need and should take the effort TO
forestal his good will as an afront.

ALLISON RANCH MINE.
1t is to Be Worked on an Extensive
Scale.


Scale.
A Grass Valley dispatch states that
the famous Allison ranch mine, near
that city, will at once be opened py
Mackay and Flood, the well-known cap
italists Mr.. Flood, accompanied py
Private Secretary Walsh, Superintend-
ent Kervin of Virginia City, w r. Eek
art. consulting engineer, and H. " Dey,
Mackay's private Secretary, arrived
there on Friday night and on Saturday
visited the mine and decided at once 10
reopen il.
Mr. Eckart was instructed TO draw
plans for the necessary plant, ana the
preliminary work of reopening viii COM
mence this morning. 1t is proposed TO
equip the mine with one of the finest
and most substantial plants in the
State.
The Allison ranch mine in early days
yielded very profitably, several million
dollars being produced and over Zoo men
being employed. 1t was explored to
depth of 700 feet. The expensive meth
ods in vogue made profits small, ana,
the owners disagreeing, the mine closed
down and ii has never been reopened.
1t is believed it will yield handsomely
under modern methods or working.
Superintendent Kervin OF the Bruns-
wick mine at Virginia City will be Su-
perintendent, and Thomas Cavanaugh
forman of the Allison ranch mine.
The people of Grass Valley are pleased
with the determination of MeSsrs. Flood
and Mackay to invest there, as pros
perity will follow the opening up or an
other big mine. 1t will be useless for
miners to go>to Grass Valley however
