An Era of Good Feeling.

For several days prior to the President
departure. scenes were witnessed at the
White Hous, which testified strongly TO
state Of affairs upon the existence OF whlch
the country has every reason to congraau-
late Itself Political leaders of every shade
o. opinion called to say good-by, and 10
wish the President safe journey and
pleasant vacation They, too, were on the
eve of leaving town. Congress had COM
pleted the work of the extra session, and
they were once more free. There had been
some warm par rtisan contests over the work
performed. Both the free traders and the
free silver republicans had resisted with
energy the Presidents tariff policy and
paid their respects to it in language the
most emphatic. But not the slightest per-
scnal feeling had been aroused. His most
vigorous opponents still held the President
himself in friendly mind. 1t is unnecessary
to add that when they presented themselves
before him they were greeted cordially by
the President, and that he exchanged good
wishes with them in all sincerity.
This sort of thing ought not to call for
special remark. 1t is strictly the American
way. 1t is deservedly one of the boasts of
our system of government that it admits
al one and the same time of the sturdiest
contentious and the warmest personal at
tachmerts between political opponents.
There have been many sigrl instances of
the truth of this. But 1t is unfortunately
fact that for several years past there
has not been any good feeling betwe n Con-
gIess and the executive. A decided cool
ness. indeed, has existed. and was carried
SO far in some cases that prominent SEN
ators and representatives discontinued their
visits to the White House altogether. They
would not go even to present constituent.
They frankly asserted in explanation Of
their course that Mr.. Cleveland had simply
made it impossible for them to approach
him with any comfort to themselves, and
many more democrats than republicans
we're of the number
Mr.. Mckinley has completely removed the
barrier. Nobody is chilled now. Republi-
cans, democrats. populists, all call, and all
are made welcome. Nor is 1t felt to be or
meant to be an idle or insincere ceremony.
he President had made the advances in
his cordial verbal messages when notified
that Congress awaited his pleasure, and the
members of both houses responded by Of
fering him their hands and fervent good
wishes. The situation Is one calling for
general felicitation.

A Famou. Embe.zl~ment Recalled


Suits have been filed at Frankfort, Ken
lucky. to collect insurance policies issued
on the life of James W. Tate to the amount
Of twelve thousand dollars. The insurance
companies will resist the suits, and some
sensational developments are promised
Tate was for many years state treasurer
OF Kentucky. A genial man, of education
and the highest social position, he became
irresistible In his races for treasurer, de-
feating strong men with ease both in the
primaries and at the regular elections. His
friends called him "Dick," and universal
faith In the man supplied the word "Hon-
est" and SO he came to be known in cam
paign years as Honest Dick Tate. He
was the prince of story-tellers, the best
natured Of men, and an accountant of ex-
cellent capa city. His family consisted of
wife and daughter, his home was the
resort of the best and brightest people,
and, thus situated, he had everything to
make a man of his temperament happy
and to hold him to his duty.
But one fine morning the state had a
shock from which it did not recover for a
very long time Honest Dick Tate turned
out to be an embeZzler to the amount of
fully three hundred thousand dollars.
There were next to no particulars. The
money was gone, and Tate was gone. lie
disappeared almost between suns, and no
trace of him was to be found anywhere. A
rigid investigation as to the missing funds
brought little to light. Tate, so far as
known, lad not been a speculator; he had
not lived extravagantly; his tipple had
been mild and his indulgence moderate, and
his limit at draw poker had always been
low. What then could such man have
done with three hundred thousand dollars
of trI st money? The question to this day
remains unanswered. And the state re-
mains out Of pocket. Some defect in Tate's
bend enabled his sureties to evade respon-
sibility.
1t Is now ten years since Tate disap-
peared. Rumor from time to time has
located him in one distant country or an
other, but no Kentuckian has ever laid
eyes on him since then. His family re-
manned in Frankfort, and enjoyed the SYM
pathy of the whole community. The wife
Is now dead. The daughter survives and is
married, and these suits on these life In
srrance policies are brought in her mama
and for her benefit. 1t IS claimed that Tate
died in Japan. The Insurance companies
are of opinion that he is still alive.

No Doubt as to Annexation.

Japan's loud talk in the Hawaiian mat
ter impresses some Of the editors in France,
England and Germany, but is Is entirely
safe to say that 1t does not deceive any Of
the diplomats, statesmen or soldiers in
those countries. No reasonable being any
where believes Japan will fight to prevent
annexation. However, the United States
governments duty to have a strong fleet
within easy distance Of Hawaii Is so Inn
perative that It will not be neglected Ha-
wall will be United States territory next
winter.

McKinley's Good Reform.

President Mckinley deserves and VIII re-
ceive the heartiest praise Of good citizens
ments to the civil service rules which he
made before starting on his vacation yes
terday. 1t Is not too much to say that,
under all the circumstances, they consti-
tute the greatest victory for the reform
the subject early In 1888. The spoilsmen
themselves will be the frst to see that this
action by the President sounds the death
knell OF the hopes which they have always
overthrow.

WfstfulnesA.

When the mercury Is waiting
Just at seventy or so
And you find a gladstone respite
From the cruel summers glow,
A regret comes stealing DER you
AS you watch the sunbeams play
And you sigh in mournful accents,
IF 'twculd only stay this way"'
When your purse at last Is heavy
With a long-expected sum,
And the right is yours to mingle
With life's pleasures as they come,
You behold the threatening shadow
OF the dreaded rainy day.
And you count your store and murmur
IF 'twould only stay this way!'
When the world is smiling fondly
And the days like dream-light shine,
And the things you've wished for cluster
Like the fruit upon the vine.
Then you think of bleak November
And the waste, where all was gay.
And again the thought assails you
IF 'twould only stay this way!'

deny that the tide has turned In 1883 1t

than an interesting coincidence that the
