MKINLEY'S MISTAKE.

| President-elect Mckinley has had
more regard for the people and the
party than the party and the people
| have had for him. The unbroken
strain that has pressed upon him ever
since his nomination has not been in
termitted an hour, until lie was fore
ed by actual exhaustion to retire to
his bed and deny himself to all call
ers. 1t was against the advice of his
friends that he so freely gave himself
to the country, or that part of it that
was so anxious to serve it for n con-
sideratiOn. There is no man on earth
that can stand the pressure of the
greed for office in this republic. once
that greed is permitted to press its
arrogance and selfishness to the front
Mr.. Mckinley has undertaken to do
as the earlier presidents of the nation
did, hold himself open to the approach
of all who desire to see him, but he
has forgotten two things; first, that
in those eralier days the office sought
the man and not the man the office;
second. that the number of office hold
ers has increased hundred d,while
his strength is not 80 increased. He
will find that in order to save his
strength for the real work of the cOun-
try he must set sentinel at the door
of his privacy, and deny himself to
all those who would intrude upon him
for purely personal ends. This is for
eign to the wish of Mr.. Mckinley for
he is more a man of the people than
any one who has sat in the presidential
chair since the days of the martyred
Lincoln. All the same, his health and
his strength are needed for a higher
purpose and a lOftier plane of duties
than merely listening to the demands
of the pie pleaders and their insist
ence upon being served thus or so. If
Mr.. Mckinley is to be the savior in
any sense of the republic, is to deliv-
err it with the aid and cooperation of
Congress from its financial depres-
sions and its industrial prOstratiOn,
then he must deny himself to the
hOrdes of Office seekers and save him
self for the real work for which he
was elected. There is no other alter
native. His work is not as the dis
penser of patronage, but as the direct
or of the whole machinery of govern
ment. Having selected his heads of
departments, let him turn over to
them the task of selecting the under
workers in the places of government,
leaving to himself that larger liberty
and greater strength which he will
need in the years that lie before him
as chief magistrate of the nation. TO
his friends and to his physician the
country will now look for his present
deliverance from the gnats of office,
and later on to the wisdom and back
bone of his private secretary.

That death has brought re'ease froI, her

a glorious smile rests on her patient face,
And lights it up as with heavenly grace.
The darkness of our earth has passed away
And heaven opened with The dawn of day.
Asleep at last! Oh, glorious, peaceful rest!
That brings with it the joys of heavens blest
blissful calm comes alter ell distress;
In wondrous peace the soul at last can rest.
Patience at last Il rich reward is given;
The tired and weary one finds joy in heaven.

Late Tuesday afternoon soft snow
began falling-not hard dry flakes ac-
cOmpanied by wind and dust but sucl.
Il snow as is common IN lower attitudes
when there Is no air IN motion, and all
nature seems to still herself to receive
the beautiful covering of white. Every
tree, shrub, and spear of grass had its
soft burden of crystal flakes; every
inch of Mother Earth was shrouded in
white mystery, and every roof was
thatched witt, snow. At night when
the moon rose and shone through the
grey film of cloud, Kinsley was like
fairy land. There was soft stiffness
in the air, broken only by the stir of
some small creature, a bird or Il rab-
bit; rough outlines in cottage and
fence were rounded out 10y the new-faI-
len snow, while from every branch it
softly dropped in the grey silence.
