4 C0rtliuI Host,

President Mckinley will benefit in two
ways from his course in keeping himself in
easy reach of the people. 1t will insure
him not only the affections of the people
but their confidence. 1t will encourage men
OF all parties and al: beliefs to call upon
him and confer with him. 1t will afford
him a wide range of information about the
popular currents of the day. in what direc-
lion they setting and what they are
hearing along and il will keep him in close
touch with the everyday sentiment and as
pirations of the great mass of his country
men. Only good. to him as well as to the
country. can come from such knowledge so
gained. 1t is to be doubted. indeed. if sue
cess in the presidential office can be
achieved if this knowiedge for any cause.
= denied The incumbent. If the man who
is the representative of all the people with
Graws himself from intimate communica-
tior with them. and confers about the peo-
pes business with only few personal
friends. he cannot hope for his perform
snces 10 touch either the popular heart or
the popular imagination.
There is no captiouSness. but only the SIM
pc truth. in the statement that MIR. Cleve-
land in the White House suffered from the
effect of his inaccessibility- inaccessible he
was. to a greater degree than any other
ran who has resided there in very many
years The question of responsibility for this
is a minor question. The fact remains that.
for some cause. the people felt themselves
shut out. and even large number of sena-
tors and representatives. with important
business to take them there. made their
visits with reluctance Some of these men
did not go back the second time. Nearly
all of them complained of the atmosphere
OF exclusiveness pervading the White
House. and which made ii difficult and even
unpleasant to spend any time there.
The result that only very few men
had access to Mr.. Cleveland. and il was
largely through them that ne informed him
self TO the popular sentiment and wishes.
There grew up. indeed. sort of Cleveland
Trust. through which and by which the
very small numbers who had obtained his
ear kept it 20 the exclusion of the hundreds
who would have been glad to obtain ii and
who by reason of their positions had a
right TO frequent audiences.
IL is d very narrow and mistaken defini-
ton which limits the Presidents advisers
to the eight men VINO sit at the cabinet
table. Excellent advice may reach him
from very many other sources about mat
tiers of the highest Importance. and he
best cOnsults his own and the country's in
Ierests who. instead of putting up the no
admittance sign, opens the door and re-
ceives the people cordially in the people 5
own house.

The District apnropriation bill as ii goes
upon the statute books contains total
allowance of So IL. .5a1 .ea;. or more than it
ever carried before Seven years ago the
local budget appropriated SJ.SI2. 1872 and
sir ce then the total has steadily increased.
The bill for the fiscal year ending June 10,
Is:4 bore an increase of $40 1864 over
thar OF the year before. The next year the
Increase amounted to s1291i.e6. the next
to S1i5z446s. the next to s13s. .tg.2:' while
the latest bill shows an increase of s2sI.-
211-9s over the current appropriations, a
larger advance than has ever before been
known. al least in recent years. The bud
get went through the usual course of re-
dGction. increase and compromise before IL
reacned tnis gratifying condition. The
Commits SiOntrs estimated for s. 6ss 6l6.3s.
The House committee reduced the amount
by $.2,.EIl, ,s-J-J2- The House added SS.np
to the bill. The Senate committee made an
increase of $llii. .s66.3s over the House
bill and the Senate added S51i.0JO more
making total of 81 .65s Bless in the in
erase over the amount fixed by the House
The conferees Topped 81 ,26D, 1865 or trlfie
more than seventy-five per cent of the
Sei-Gte's additions. leaving s39s, $50 as the
ret gam over the allowance granted by
tee House. This result is particularly
pleasing IN view Of the fact that the in
creased bill makes more adequate pro-
vision fo- many important Institutions than
has been afforded by the appropriations Of
late The Star mas already expressed it's
regret az ;he failure of Congress to pro-
