dition from which we can hardly blame
the ease-loving incumbent Of the white
house for turning away with aver
sion. Naturally he seeks popularity
and breads it's converse. He remembers
that the first act Of Mr.. Cleveland was
to recall the Harrison Hawaiian an
nexation treaty. He recalls the imme-
date, tremendous howl that poured out
OF Republican throats, the fierce IL
rades that filled their papers and the
snarls of Democratic jingoes. He ac-
cepts all this as evidence Of the popu-
larity of annexation. He overloOks the
sense of bounden duty that compelled
every Republican to virulently oppose
everything Cleveland did, and he mis-
takes for belief in annexation that hos
tll1ty among Democrats to Cleveland's
action that had it's source really in
hatred Of him on grounds as creditable
to him as they were discreditable to his
enemies. But, overlooking the actual and
accepting the superficial, the president
lmagines he has in this annexation
scheme a subject that will be popular

SOME RECENT APPOINTMENTS

President Mckinley cannot expect to
escape responsibility for appointments
whose selection he has surrendered to
the senators. The duty rests on him;
1t is he who recommends them to the
senate, and whatever of credit or blame
results goes exclusively to him. Where
he has made selections on his own
judgment, as with his cabinet, they
have been eminently good ones; but
where he has referred applicants to
their senator's, told them that their ap-
prevail was essential and then made
the appointment after receiving that
sanction, he has often furnished his ad-
ministration with selections that, where
not positively bad, are by no means the
best that could have been made For
instance the appointment of Ellis H.
Roberts, Of New York, on the solicita-
secretary Of the treasury, was as dis
cred1table an appointment as could be
made. To appoint a man who, when
assistant in charge of the subtreasury
in New York. used his office to get loans
on collaterals that, fv- any other man,
would not have been touched, and then,
after leaving office, compromised these
debts at 25 cents on the dollar, is an
extremely discreditabIe act.
Then there was Myron McCord, ex-
congressman from Wisconsin, appoint
ed governor Of New Mexico on no other
ground than that he was a Mckinley
hustler in the territory and succeeded
IN getting the delegation for McKin-
ley. The appointment was made in
the face of his record in Wisconsin, in
Guiding a charge Of an attempt to
bride an officer charged with the duty
of locating some public institution, be-
sides other acts showing official turpi-
tude, and is another one that will re-
nect discredit on his administration.

inal Mckinley hustler in this state, ap-
pointed as consul general at Shanghai.
rlght on the heels Of scan
odlous exposure in suit re-
Gently brought against him. One
wonders what are disqualification
for office under this administration.
The president may thus make smooth
and pleasant the relations between
himself and the senators, and he may
be paying the price for the safe con-
duct of his policies; but we apprehend
that the country and the larger ele-
ment of his own party would prefer to
see him act under that sense of per-
sonal and official responsibility that
characterized the conduct of his prede-
cessor in making appointments, even
II 1t should cause friction in his inter-
course with the senate

WHAT Is THE NOT.yEs

One seeking for the motive of the adj
ministration for the treaty Of annexa-
ton Of Hawaii will have to go outside
OF the message Of the president trans
hitting it to the senate. Every reason
he assigns for annexation is a good
one for maintaining the present reIa-
tons, while his conclusion that This
act would be in line with our estab-
lshed policy is without support either
IN his recitals Or in our history. Grant
attempted to establish the policy of
attaching outlying islands in the San
Domingo case, but the senate rejected
the proposition. The whole tone of the
message is apologize, and it's matter
is palpably a straining after justiflca-
ton for an act having none in any
present or future condition affecting
the welfare of this country.
The motive for this movement will
have to be found elsewhere. It lies
mainly, we believe, in a desire
to divert public attention from
immediate affairs and engross
it with future and distant ones.
to substitute for the two present uues-
tons, the tariff and currency, each of
which is fraught with danger. one
which the administration assumes
from past events, will be a popular one.
The restoration of McKinleyism has
not proved the popular movement that
1t promised to be in the DAYS of tho
panic, when it was proclaimed as the
only cure for financial ills. Discord has
developed where only sweet harmony
was expected to dwell The senate

was found that Bert Van Nostrand had
shot Miss Jennie Geesie twice in the

time Van Nostrand had been paying
attention to the girl, and, seemingly
encouraged, it was common talk Enat
a probable wedding would be the re-
suit.
1t seems he had deliberately planned
the affair Of last night. He had been
walking with the girl, and, just re-
turned, was standing on the steps when
the girl was startled by the touch of
something cold and threw up her hand,
hitting the gun just as it exploded,
which saved her life. as the bullet
struck the skull and glanced up and
was taken out at the top of the head,
fattened out Of all resemblance of a.
bullet. The second shot took effect in
the back Of the neck near the jugular
vein, and as yet has not been located.
A letter, written by Van Nostrand
to his partner. Huisten, told him to pay
his board bill, all he owed, burn his
effects and do with his body what he
chose, saying: 81 have lost, but will
not be beaten. no matter what 1t COSTS"

Towns have their distinctive charac-

ference between these two towns is
strikingly shown in the matter of cy-
Gle paths. Minneapolis has had early

Paul has had her education in the

done always for herself what
she wished to have DONE The re-

ored for the authorities to act; ST. Paul
riders taxed themselves, gathered in
and construct paths. The result of this
difference Of character and action is
seen in the complaint Of the Tribune
that when a Wheelman in that city
wishes to vary the monotony of rolling
over the pavements Of his city, wishes
to get out where he can see country
scenes and fill his lungs with country
