IT is said that the reason McKin-
ley is finding SO much difficulty in
constructing his Cabinet is that the
politicians see the hand WRITING upon
the wall foretelling the failure of his
administr alton and that these poll
ticians don't want to be credited
with having hand in sinking the
boat four years from now. Another
reason advanced for the shyness of
those who might be struck by Cabi.
net lightning is the probability that
the iron hand of Mark Hanna~will
turn the pilot wheel Of the Mckinley
ship. Some things become plain
after one understands the "whyness''
thereof.

HORRIBLE indeed are the details of
the recent barbarity of the Spaniards
in butchering the inmates of a Cuban
hospital, including female nurses, and
then burning the building over the
bodies of their helpless victims. How
long before some civilized nation will
raise a solemn protest against such
fiendish brutality?
TIE Washington Post observes
that "there will be an interesting
time when finance and tariff get
mixed up in the Senate and Mr..
Pritchard and his conscience are
forced into caucus" Pshawl If
there is any conflict in the Senator's
meditations, why can't he write his
conscience a letter that he has
changed his views upon whatever
stood in the way of carrying out his
present purpose?

That some people are yet possessed
of that kind of independence by
which a fellow may "chaw his tobac-
co and spit where he pleases" is evil
denced by the condition Of the Court
house floors. But this is a species of
independence that needs curbing,
being an infringement upon the rights
of his neighbors. No man has a
right to spit where he pleases when
he pleases to spit where it becomes
a nuisance to the general public.

HIS HIGH SUPERIOR CARDS AND
SPADES IN CUNNING.

Extra Conductor George X. Morris
who is regularly employed on local
train to New Castle, has just returned
home from Milford and Sussex conn
ty trip. where he has been on "a pecu-
liar errand.
Mr.. Morris is a personal friend of
President Frank Thomson, OF the Penn
sylvania railroad, and, while the Penn
sylvan.ian Is his high superior in rail-
roading Mr. Norris can give him cards
and spades and then win when ii comes
to hunting.
II was while Mr.. Morris and Former
Superintendent !. N. Mills were inti-
mate at Clayton that Mr.. Thomson
formed his acquaintance. Morris was
an extra fine shot, an expert handler
and Judge of dogs, and could smell
game afar off. President Thomson is
passionately fond of cunning, and Nor
r'is, who is a jolly companion, was just
uhe very man he was looking for.
He induced him to come to Whining
ton and accept the position on the To-
cal train. Since then Mr.. Morris has
often accompanied the president on his
hunting trips wiI0h signal success. Now
he is often telegraphed to come to the
long distance telephone and hold an
advisory consultation with The highest
salaried man in THE United States.
At his home, on French street, Mr.,
Norris has some thoroughbred hunting
dogs all well groomed and in splendid
order. Once he invited some Of the
Board of Health in and they pro-
nounced his kennels purer than some
dwelling houses they had visited that
very day, an
Mr.. Morris errand llo Milford was to
select some new dogs for hunting trip
which he expects to take with the
president early next month outWest. lie
can train The dogs in about two weeks.
Mr.. Morris has also a ripe knowledge
OF local railroading.

caught on an obstruction, was jerked
up and fell, and with the blinding re-
port which followed Morris threw up
his hands, eXclaiming: Il am shot! /

The contents of the loaded gun had en-

life-blood was streaming out Securing

and the mournful party Started for Nc
