A Popular President.

William Mckinley is destined to be
one of the most popular Presidents,
personally, that ever occupied the
chair. Almost from the day of his in
auguration the newspapers of the coun-
try have contained references to his
affability and composure under all cir
cumstances, and to his unaffected and
sterling Republican qualities. Among
the many comments of this nature we
reprint the following from the Phila-
delphia Bulletin:
1t looks as If Mckinley may become,
personally, the most popular President
the country has had since the time Of
Lincoln. A careful reading Of the re-
ports of the impressions which his con-
duct IN the White House has thus far
made on observers of large variety
throughout the country Of all parties
politicians, congressman, newspaper
men, social critics and business men
Is distinctly and strongly favorable
His simplicity, candor and amiability
seem to be engaging, and without sign
of the weakness which often goes with
those qualities.

IN JOYOUS GREETING.
Gifts that Are Fraught with the
Seasons Spirit

gifts that Are Fraught with the
Seasons Spirit.
The custom of giving Easter gifts is on
the increase. A few years ago a simple
card sent to friends was accounted suffi-
cient recognition of the day. But the
card swelled into leaflet, the leaflet into
a book, and now the book has sought the
companionship of divers and sundry ar
ticles of a distinctly feminine character,
and with them proceeds to organize a
Christmas at the beginning of spring.
With a slight change of sentiment even
Christmas and New Years presents can
pass muster as Easter offerings. The
cards are delicate in design and spring like
in coloring. Facetiousness creeps in
through the only channel open to 1t, mani
Testing itself in groups of chickens and
pictures of rabbits on cards designed es-
pecially for children.
The eggshell, variously decorated, is
ubiquitous, as usual. The decoration of
eggshells is not so difficult as it looks to
one familiar only with their fragility. To
prepare them, wash the shells first with
vinegar and then with soda and water
puncture a small hole in each end and
blow out the contents. Make a solution
of plaster of paris and water, thin enough
to run easily, and fill the shell half full,
using a small paper funnel, then insert
the two ends of piece of narrow ribbon
and continue the filing. 1t will take
about twenty minutes for the plaster to
harden. Then give the egg n sizing with
gum water to make the color take, and it
is ready for decoration

with pistachio plums. The number of
dishes cooked is enormous. Eggs form a
part of all the pastimes. The religious
services are devout and impressive.
In Mexico it is the great festival of the
year. In the City of Mexico the popula-
ton fill the streets and the parks, which
resemble the most beautiful gardens. Peo-
pie passing each other in the streets throw
flowers with their salutations. Bands dis
course sweet music, and there is general
abandonment to the delights of the festi-
val of their Sunday of joy"
In America the occasion is observed
generally but quietly. Presents are ex-
changed, eggs and flowers are given a
prominent place, and the church services
are unusually impressive. If the Ameri-
cans had any special use for the festival
in a worldly way they might designate it
as the feast of hats" The feminine por-
ton of the community wear new hats,
according to the ancient tradition that to
be lucky all the year, something new must
be worn on Easter Sunday.

Ru.iness Improvement cominp

Continued activity in various indus
trial lines, based on an expanding con-
sumptive demand, fairly steady prices
for staples, further improvement in
railway earnings and widespread con-
fidence that the volume of business will
expand materially in the near future,
constitute the trade features of the
week." So said Bradstreets yesterday.
1.-The first step toward prosperity is to
get the wheels started and the hands
employed, and the number of works
which have resumed or increased force
during the past week seems greater
than in any other week since Novem-
Der. 20 The money markets con-
tinue especially favorable to industrial
recovery, and there Is no such specula-
tive epidemic as to lock up an excessive
share of available capital" This ap-
peared in Dun's Review yesterday.
The indications are good that the
long hoped for better times are headed
this way.-Kansas City Journal.

The Washington Way.

Washington once said: There is no
doubt of the wisdom of the policy of
giving protection and encouragement
in any proper legislative form to do
nestle industry" And yet these latter
day free-traders, who have assumed to
possess exhaustive knowledge of every
thing in heaven above and in the earth
beneath, have even dared to say that
the protective tariff was not constitu-
tional. 1t is too bad that they were
not present to give Washington a few
tips on the correct Interpretation of the
Constitution. The ordinary American
citizen, however, Is content to accept
Washington's Interpretation of the Con-
stitution with the Interpretation of
those otherstatesmen who helped frame
the Constitution, and who, fresh from
that work, introduced and passed the
first protective tariff law ever enacted
in this country, and to which Washing
ton put his signature.

The American ship.

ais, employing American shipwrights,
and then manned by American seamen,
carrying the flag and the products of
the United States to the uttermOst ends

and the glory of this nation, is no less
an American product, or an American
manufacture, and therefore no less en-
titled to full protection In competition
with foreign ships, conveying our prod
ucts to those countries, than are other
American products, on the land, which
are subject to foreign competition.

ShOuld Abolish HistnrY.

The only hope for the free-traders
now is to abolish history. They have
been pretty successful in the past, at
times, in perverting history, but all
things have an end. The smart from
this last blister of free trade has been
severe enough to leave a lasting mark
on our history, which 1t won't be very
easy to get rid Of. Protection has come
to stay, unless the free-traders can find
some way to annihilate memory and
sense as completely as they have ami
hilated American prosperity.

Outcome OF Centuries.

The resume Of Easter customs finds the
central idea in the fact that they are the
outcome of eighteen centuries of religious
zeal, and the concentration of genius and
enthusiasm in art, science, poetry and
learning of every sort. Easter is a crys-
utilization of the hope expressed in its
solemn observances, deliverance from
death, founded on the story of the great
Teacher of Nazareth, and carrying joy
and life into the dead and desolate theo-
ries that in the dark ages held the world
in dominance. The festival of the soul is
the highest and greatest of all the cere-
monies of Eastertide.

American cutlery is quite likely to
meet active competition in our home
market from japanese cutlery before
many moons have passed over us. The
Japanese are very expert cutters, and
are already able to supply their own
market with razors and other articles
of cutlery made both in native and for
eign styles. Having progressed thus
far in the cutlery industry, it will not
be long before they improve their man
ufactures and export their cutlery to
other countries. This fact should be
considered in framing the new tariff.
