Brann's "Iconoclast," one OF the
best papers OF its kind and one OF the
most popular of to-day, says: enc
Kinley as president will not represent
the people who made this nation great
who are its glory in peace and its
strength in war. lie will represent
the syndicate which holds his notes
and the secret OF his commercial
crookedness; he will represent the
trusts, bond jobbers and protected
manufacturers, who purchased the
manufacturers, who purchased the
presidency purely as business invest
mcnt; he will represent the illiteratt
Negroes and still more ignorant Huns
Sicilians, Scandiwcgians, and all the
parties Of the plutocracy. He will re-
present every purchasabc vote be
tween the two oceans. lie will stanC
before the world as the incarnation o.
this country's degradation, the ravata
OF Its dishonor, the epitome OF its in
famy--a noxious weed grown and in ;
political cloaca, a moral ccsspoOl."

A trial was recently made in Austria
to decide In how short space Of time
living trees could be converted into
newspapers. At Essential, at 1885 in
the morning, three trees were sawn
down; at 9:34 the wood, having been
stripped OF bark, cut up and converted
into pulps became paper, passed from
the factory to the printing press,
whence the first printed aud folded
copy was issued At 10 o'clock; as that
in l45 minutes the trees had became
newspapers. The age OF miracles is
not past.

ARP ON PRESIDENTS.
The Story Of Andrew Jackson's Sec.
ond Marriage to His Wife.
SELF-MADE CHIEF EXECUTIVES.

Atlanta Constitution.
Two weeks ago The Evening Con.
stitution, in its weekly symposium,
asked which 0ncof the presidents was
married twice to the same woman.
The answer was given the succeeding
week, and since then | have received
"A number Of letters wanting to know
why.
Doubtless there are great many
more who have not access to any bio
graphy Of Andrew Jackson, and would
like To know why he was twice mar.
ried to his only wife.
And 50 for the diffusion of knowl-
edge it is good time to tell these in.
quirers the romance Of that marriage.
for with most men and women mar.
rlagc is the most important event Of
their life.
Rachel Donelson was a beautiful.
>prightly and interesting grl-the
best h0rsc-wOman and the best dancer
in all the country. She married Capt.
Robarbs, who proved to be a tyrann-
cal and jealous husband. He took her
to Kentucky to live with his mother,
but soon after, in ut Of rage, sent
her back to Nashville. Her mother,
who was widow, was Keeping a
boarding house, and among her pa.
irons were General Jackson and Judge
OycrtOn, both OF them hgh.t0ned,
honorable gentlemen. Indeed, the
general was noted for his purity Of
character, his homage and chiyalrous
respect for woman. When Captain
Robards came to make reconciliation
with his wife, he took Otfensc at
Jackson's pOliteness to her. He and
Jackson had hot words and further
trouble was feared. Jackson changed
his boarding house and Robards went
back to Kentucky and threatened to
return and haunt his wife and make
her life miserable. To escape his
prosecutions she removed to Natchez,
where she had friends and relatives.
in the meantime Robards applied to
the Legislature Of Kentucky for leave
to sue for divorce, for that was then
the law. Leave to sue was graEted to
him, and il was generally supposed
that he had sued in Kentucky and
had obtained divorce. Acting or
this belief, Jackson went to Natche1
and married her,
For two years they lived together ir
Nashville as man and wife when tt
their great surprise it was discovered
that RObardS did not secure his di
vOrce until a year after ller secOnt
marriage. 50 Jackson procured an
other license and was married to he
a second time. For forty years the,

He had many political enemies, bu
he taught them early that not even
whisper to her prejudice would be al
lowed. Rachel Donelson was u tru
and noble woman.
1t is a singular fact that five OF tn,
first thirteen presidents married wild
ows. Washington set the example
and was followed by Jefferson, Madi
son and Fillmore. The last nance

A DESERVED TRIBUTE.

The uncompromiSing attitude OF
Consul General Lee toward American
rights and interests in Cuba has won
for that fearless officer the esteem OF
all true Americans regardless Of party
Affiliations.
In commenting upon the course re-
Gently pursued by the consul general
at Havana, The Philadelphia North
American, one OF the most conserva-
tive dailics Of the east, uses the follow
ing language:
The correspondence relating to the
imprisonment of Americans in Cuba,
which was forwarded to the senate by
Secretary Oncy on Monday, shows TO
what extent our interests on that
island have been neglected, notwith-
standing the efforts made by Consul
General Lee to compel Spain to rccog-
nize our rights. General Lee has been
most courageous and patriotic, and
every American must feel proud Of
him as he reads the dispatches which
are forwarded by him to Washington.
On the other hand, there can be moth
ing but feeling Of contempt for the
administration for its cowardly
betrayal Of the honor and dignity of
the nation. There is a peculiar signi-
fcance in the failure OF Olncy to for
ward to the senate the replies to Cen
cral Lees dispatches These must be
made public in time, and then we shall
see to what extent our government
has played into the hands of these
Spanish murderers. That an ignoble
course was pursued throughout is
shown by Lees dispatches and the
events which followed; but in just
what language the administration de-
livered up our honor to Spain, the peo-
pie OF the United States are anxious
to know. As to General Lee, he has
made a record that Americans will
always glory in, and when President
Mckinley is finally installed in office,
lie cannot do wiser or more popular
thing in this connection than to invite
and, if necessary, to persuade General
Lee to retain an Office whose response
bic duties he Is discharging with so
much ability and with such refresh.
ing exhibition Of the true American
spirit.
The courageous attitude Of Consul
General Lee stands out in bold relief
against the humlating cowardice and
trcachery OF the late administration
and the compliment paid to the
American ambassador in the forego-
ing paragraph Is not misplaced.

THE HOURS OF THE DAY.
IN ITALY THE TIME WILL BE CALCU.
LATED FROM TO a.
Milwaukee Journal.

Milwaukee Journal.
The Italian government is giving
the weight OF its power and influence
TO aid in the accomplishment Of the
reform which will eventually bring
about consistent notation OF the hours
OF the day by making the numbers
run from TO "a. All government
timepieces, schedules and announce
ments will hereafter run upon that
system, and there will be no more
trouble about duplication OF figures
and the consequent necessity for dis.
tingulshlng terms to show which pOr-
tion OF the day is meant. There can
be little doubt that in time the new
notation will be accepted and used by
the people in their private business,
for it is the only sensible system.
The new system will only affect the
hours Of the day from noon to mid
night, and the success attending the
Italian system shows that it can DC
readily and easily applied.
The schools open at O'Clock as be.
fore, but they close at l6 o'clock, in
stead OF 4 p. m. The government
theatres announce that their curtains
rise at p o'clock, and the railroad
time tables are at last ineligible to
all who can read figures That the re-
form Is making its way with the peo-
pie Is evidenced by the fact that the
theatres not under government con-
trOl have generally accepted the sys-
TEN by announcing their entertain
ments as beginning at 81 o'clock %
p n.y. 1t is easy to carry the new
system into private business, and it
must eventually be done to avoid con-
fusion. The school children alone
will be power in this respect, for the
new notation OF the hours Of the day
will become natural to them. Per-
haps the present generation will not
come to the full sense OF the new Sys.
TEN to the exclusion OF the other, but
as it passes away the one which takes
It's places Will have no stubborn con.
servatism to unlearn.
We have succeeded easily in this
country in accomplishing kindred
reformation iD the adoption Of stand
ard time over the old system which
gave correct solar time everywhere,
but kept the railroad traveller always
in trouble. That reform had to COM
bat strong local prejudices, but it has
succeeded simply because it showed
its advantage over the old method.
II the Italian method Of time nota-
tion should be adopted in this coun-
try as the public system, the people
would naturally accept and use it. 1t
will come, for the American people
only need to comprehend the advan.
tages offered by an innovation to graft
it upon their own system.

On the other hand the car and his

Associated Press is informed that an

The fact, which has now become

other greeting to Prince Bismarck on
his birthday, has been severely com

deeply offended that he will never for
