bright sunshine again, with fleecy
white clouds below us and deep blue
sky above. Look at the shadow OF the
balloon on the clouds! See the light
prismatic colors like halo around the

Well. we are failing, for. see the bits
Of paper apparently ascending. And
we must take core, for the ooldness and

So get a bag Of ballast ready. for we are
already in the darkness OF the cloud.
Now the gas bag shrinks and writhes.

M'kiNLEY is PRESIDENT.
starts In with the Hearty Good VIII
of the People.

of the People.
The best people in the United States
supported the election of Maj. Mckinley
irrespective of party. Many good PEG.
pie failed to support him by reason of a
partisan bias TO which they could not
at the time rise superior. tits probably,
therefore, not too much to say that he
now goes into office with the sincere
good wishes of an immense majority of
the American people. 1t is doubtful,
indeed, whether any president, since
craftsmanship in this country was forged
on the anvil of experience. was ever
inaugurated who had at the outset a
more hearty support from the masses
Of the people themselves.
To know this must be great salts
faction to Maj. Mckinley; but at the
same time the condition of the public
feeling towards him increases his re-
sponsibilties and does not in the least
lessen the task that he has before him.
With those of whom very much is ex-
rected we have n scarcity of patience,
and the public is therefore in danger at
the outset of attempting TO hurry the
administration into action not su1I-
GENTLY considered. Against such dam
gers as this we have the calm of Mai.
Mckinley's temperament and his long
experience in public life.
There is disposition in many quar-
tiers of this country to believe that the
president of the United States has some
magical power and can do instantly
what he chooses for good or for i'll. This
wrong conception of presidential pow
er has been greatly fostered by the dem
agogues who roam the land with open
mouths and empty heads. But the
president can only execute the laws and
recommend new ones. In this way he
is said to construct policy. But he
can much easier make law of the land
than n law of nature. That no man
can do. But, siDgularly enough, that is
what many presidents are asked to do.
Indeed, they are asked TO do more
they are advised to break the law of the
land in n vain effort to make new laws
Of nature.
OF course Maj. Mckinley will try no
such vain things. He ought not, in
deed, to be pestered with the quncks who
will so advise him. He should be left
alone to use his great Office to restore
the confidence of the people in one an
other and in the resources of the coun-
try. With that lubricant of confidence
the machinery of trade and commerce
will be smoothly set in motion, and
when again running on full time we will
Lear little Of the nostrums which the
ignorant always recommend when
times are unprosperous.
The new president should not be hur-
ried at the outset. He should be per-
mtted to go his own pace-a pace that
wisdom and experience suggest shall
be slow and sure.-Leslie's Weekly.

The vanity OF Bryan.

1t is hard to say whether the con-
tinued exhibition of his vanity made
by William j. Bryan is the more pain
full or ridiculous. He cannot be made
to understand that the country has had
far more than enough of him and wants
nothing so much as that he should re-
tire into the obscurity Of his own neigh
borhood and no longer thrust himself
impudently on general notice. But he
is just the kind Of person who cannot do
this. A little brief notOriety has CON-
pletely turned his head, and he imag-
ines himself q person of commanding
consequence. He Is already in train
ing for the presidential succession, not
having the wit to see that the demo-
cratic party will never repeat the mon
strous error Of 1896. His immediate
idea is to keep himself in evidence in
the east during the inauguration Pc
Rod. He delivered one Of his foolishly
vapid lectures at New Haven, and a
sheriff attached" the receipts for
claims against the enterprise. And this
kind Of thing. we suppose, will have to
go on until there Is some tragical COL
lapse.--N. Y. Mail and Express.

LAST " THE MUGS.

A prey to Derturbation:
He didn't do a thing but frown
And cuss his isolation.
Three times before he cast his vote
In mental aberration:
He was n mugwump and did dote
on Growers corporation.
And when Bill Bryan stirred up Cain,
In sheer evaporation,
This mugwump tried to vote again
For beef and conservation.

Besides, he had no railroad pass
To give him consolation.

Elements of Discord.

Apparently it is the purpose of the
elements opposed to the republicans

republicans-to form sort of coali-
ton in the next senate against the re-
publican party. AS the last-named ele-
ment, however, through one of its rep
resentatives. has virtually said it will
not obstruct the passage of the tariff
bill and will refrain from voting on
it. the coalition cannot hurt the re-
publicans. With the ex-republicans ST.
lent the republicans will be able to pass
their tariff bill in the senate by good
majority. The coalition will affect mon
etary questions only, but here it can do
no positive harm. It can prevent the
passage of any wise financial measure,
though, Of course, IL will be powerless
to enact any Of It's own. The house and
the president will stand as barrier
against all possible assaults on the
country's monetary system.--St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
DCleveland's last administration has
been dire failure. His foreign policy
has not met the appreciation of the peo-

When sending Christmas presents
by mail do not enclose letter with
the package. It just doubles the rate
of postage. The rate on merchandise
and most Christmas presents come
under that rate-is l cent for each
ounce or fraction thereof; on books J
a cent for each ounce or fraction; and
on all written Or type written matter
2 cents for each ounce or fraction
thereof. Another suggestion we would
make: Do not put something nice and
valuable in a thin pasteboard box.
The holiday mails are heavy, and boxes
are very liable to be crushed. A 10
cent special delivery stamp will insure
the prompt delivery of packages the
same as letters.
