ONE SUGGESTION.

Enter the new era. 1t Is simple. devoid OF ar
fectat!olf, in the best sense Of an old English
word, hOmcly. 1t Is distinctly intended to care
for homes, and not for hotels or palaces 1t Is
meant to be the joy and the defence OF the plain
people the help of their industries. the protector
of their rights the litter of their burdens. II 1t
fails in this, 1t fails in everything A Demo-
cratic Administration can be a success by rea-
son of satisfying the few men OF exceptional
power who boss the party in different States
There Is absolutely no Democratic opinion worth
thinking of regarding the action Of the organ
ization in New-York, New-Jersey, Maryland or in
any Southern State, and in nearly every west
ern State the only opinion called Democratic IS
that of the Popullsts. But the millions who
make up the Republican party have clearly de-
fined purposes which they wish TO carry out. and
those purposes concern the happiness OF Ameri-
can homes, the prosperity of American INDUS
tries and the maintenance Of American honor.
It is an exacting position for man to be the
head and representative and chief executive OF
such a body Of feow-citIzens. The man who
enves Major Mckinley has no conception of his
worries or his responsibilities. The Tribune
knows enough Of them TO offer one word Of adj
for office. Make it known that you put Dlack
mark against any man who personally takes the
time of the President with his small affair, and
see that he is not appointed. Save the time ana
strength and mental power Of the Nations Chief
Executive for the infinitely broader and better
work of uplifting American citizenship and max
ing more comfortable American homes.
Perhaps every President finds the exercise Of
the appointing power agreeable IN some cases.
But In ninety-nine cases out Of hundred 1t Is
curse and bore a tax on the mind and the
feelings. a sheer waste of powers which the Ma
ton sorely needs In better employment. If Pres
ident Mckinley would set the example Of re-
pellng every personal solicitation for office as
an insult, and insisting that his personality has
too high value to the Nation to be occupied In
that fashion even for ii moment, he might In
deed become on that account alone, II on no
other the beginner of n new era
1t is no joke to be hunted and bounded by the
million applicants for a hundred thousand offices.
Presidents more than one have been killed by
that hunting and others Of great ability-an
infinitely saddcr fate-have been absolutely
spoiled. made useless to their country and them
selves, crippled and crushed by the contemplate
antagonism which the choice between applicants
involves robbed Of all active influence In the
graver public matters by the fiea-bites and mos
quitobites Of the swarm Of office-seekers. 1t
would be grand thing, real new era In Itself,
to have q President who would make the whole
world of Ofiice-hunters know that his time and
attention belonged to the welfare Of the Nation.
to the happiness Of American homes, and not to
the private interests Of individuals.

AMERICAN SCHOLARS AT CORTNTU.

The excavations at Corinth. Greece under the
auspices Of the American School and under the
special guidance OF Dr. II. b. Richardson. the
director of the school. were carried on during
the months Of March-June Of 1896 with eminent
success. The inception Of the enterprise was
first announced in the columns of The Tribune
in January, 1896 The appeal then and there
made for the support of the American public
met with n cordial response, which supplied
sufficient funds for the work of the first year
and left balance Of about 81, 900 in the hands
Of the School for its continuance. This is, how
ever, by no means enough for what must be
done this year The brilliant success of last
years work makes necessary larger plan this
year.
When last years excavations began every
trace Of the old Greek COrlnih except seven
standing columns Of DOrc temple was buried
deep out OF sight beneath the soil. No one could
do more than approximately surmsc what was
the real site Of the ancient agora, the centre
OF the city. and OF the numerous great public
