Dignity without Offense.

In case President Mckinley should man
age to please the country as well in his
financial and other national policies as
he appears likely to do personally, his
tory will be apt to call his the golden adj
ministration OF the generation. The Of
ficial results are in the cave of the fu-
ture, but we have seen and know enough
of the man to believe that the present
occupant of the White House is 10 be a
shining light Of simple republican dignity,
which will lose nothing of the respect due
to the Chief Magistrate OF a great ma
ton by being accompanied with the CHEEKY
good nature, patience and thoughtfulness
for others, of whatever influence or sta
tion, that are characteristic of Mr.. Nc
kinley in the first days of his power
We are sure that it was a matter of
course and a nearly unconscious act Of
genial courtesy that he sent his kindly
greetings TO the Senate when commit
tee of that body waited upon him officially
saying something appropriate and pleasant
on such an occasion; and it is not an agree
able CONNIE ntary upon things past to have
to remark that this was a new departure
in the conduct OF relations between the
Pennsylvania avenue antipodes from the
habits and customs that have prevailed
for several years.
1t is pleasant TO see the ease with which
the new President is able to keep open
doors for Senators, members of the House
and even less privileged callers, give every
one hearing and go on with the dis
patch of business. The whitcness of the
Executive Mansion is not going to seem
sepulehral to the people of the United
States for the coming four years.

OF these hollow backed gentlemen in pub
lie life. They get sifted out before they
get very far The serious-ninded man
may sometimes be deceived il you are
FERROUS enough with him. 1t is different
with the funny man. He is after the weak
1esses Of mankind. They are delightful to
him; and shams Of any sort get the most
merciless treatment from his pen or his
pencil
And as for the idea that pictures of
public people should not be shown in the
newspapers, most people do not mind this
sort of free advertising very much. 1t is
abused, of course. But the newspapers
themselves are abused sometimes, by their
editors and other people Sometimes the
very lady who does not like this publicity
has herself asked that her photograph
be published. The honest ones have no
trouble. In the years since the Cleveland
children came on the scene nobody has had
a picture of them. Their mother refused
TO allow them to be photographed for the
public, and her refusal settled it, Their
pictures do not seem to have been sur
reptitiously obtained. Mrs. Cleveland
meant what she said.
The morning times., 1897-03-07
ST, Patrick's Day,

President McKinley's inaugural address
contained the information that an extra
session will be called on March 8, and this
is well. The country needs an extra ses-
sion, and it is clearly the duty of every
Senator and every Representative to be in
| his seat promptly at 2 O'Clock noon on the
18th of March.
But will they be there? Will they, as the
new President suggests, discuss calmly and
with undivided attention the condition Of
the country, because the Congressional cleo
ton S nearly two years away? VIII they
listen to speeches, and make them, and go
into their committee rooms each day with
a lively determination to clear up all the
business on the calendar as fast as the zeal
of other industrious members will allow?
VIII they feel, as every wellintentioned
American citizen ought to feel, that Mr.
Mckinley cannot carry this whole country
on his back, and that they must do their
share to help along the Era of Prosperity?
1t seems to have escaped President Nc
Kinley's mind, however, that he has called
his session on March 10, and that ON
March II Messrs. Corbett and FitZsimmons
are going to stand up and have it out,
somehow or other, away out in Nevada.
Possibly Mr.. Mckinley did not know this.
His mind is pretty solid, and SO is Mr..
Hanna's, and it is not known that either
OF them ever seriously considered the
merits and demerits of ''miu'' Posi-
sibly he did not know that when the sreat
fight between Corbett and Sullivan took
place the Senate and House were en-
tirely deserted, and even the most per-
sistent adherent Of the system Of Tom
Reed couldn't have counted a quorum.
And If this state of things should be re-
peated might it not have been just as
well for Mr.. Mckinley to call his extra
session week or so later?
To be sure, there will be men of sterl-
ing worth in both branches OF Congress
who will not go. Senator Hoar, certainly,
would not think OF attending, though he

BRITAIN AND THE TRASsvAAL.
Prospect of War Being Precipitated
Over the Aliens Law.

London, March 6.-The st. James Gazette
says it is rumored among persons within
;hc ministerial circle that Mr.. Chamber
lain, colonial secretary, has sent an EN-
phatic intimation 10 President Kruger, OF
the South African republic, that the aliens
act which S in operation in the Transvaal
is in contravention OF the provisions OF
the London convention or 1884, and must
be withdrawn.
The Manchester Guardian says that the
relations between Great Britain and the
government of the Transvaalare very much
strained, and that Mr.. Chamberlain is anX-
ious that the inevitable struggle between
the two shall come as quickly as possible.
According 10 the Guardian, Gen. Lord
Wolseley, comnander-i in chief Of the British
army, is said to have estimated that 10000
British troops would be sufficient to con-
guer the Beers. In the meantime Il is un-
derstood that President Kruger is unmoved
andi is prepared to resist all interference on
the part OF England at all costs.

Mr.. Hutchins' suit.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Star, in
fits heading Of summary OF the contents
of a bill in equity, filed yesterday by
Clarence A. Brandenburg, Esq. on behalf
OF Mr.. stilson Hutchins against Mr. Charles
g. Conn, states that Mr.. HUtchins is sorry
he bought The Times and therefore prays
the court to rescind the contract under
which he obtained majority OF the stock
Of The Times Company from said Conn.
There is no truth in this statement.
Ii appears that, for some reason, a con
tract made by Mr.. Conn with certain
merchant patrons of The Times corporation
prevents Mr. Hutchins from obtaining what
MIR Conn agreed to give him when that
gentleman transferred his interest in the
Times Company No person but MIR. Conn
can make Mr.. HUtchins whole in the CON
tract existing between them, and in
no other way than by the action taken

pose, Mr.. Hutehins has taken the action

TURKISH CONSUL INp1erED.
Charged With Many Acts of EN-
bezZie ment Committed in Boston.

Boston, March 6.-Turksh Consul Cen
eral Iasigi in this city, has been in
dicted on more than fifty counts. ALI
the counts charge him with embezZle-
ment, and the sum total OF the embeZzle-
ments alleged is more than 500 600.
This information was made public today
by District Attorney Stevens at the
close of the session of the grand jury.
The district attorney said there was no
doubt in his mind as to the right of the
State courts to proceed in the matter.
Mr.. Stevens seemed to be perfectly salts
fled with the proceedings in the case
and the requisition on the governor Of
New York Will be obtained as soon as
the question of the prisoners rights are
determined.
Regarding the claim of Mr.. Iasigis
counsel that his arrest was Illegal, since
Mr.. Iasigi was consul it was said that
even il this point should he decided in
favor OF Mr.. Iasigi it can give him but
temporary respite. Francis Peabody,
jr., who represents the interests OF the
persons for whom Mr.. Iasigi acted as
trustee, has been in consultation with
United States District Attorney Sherman
Hoar, and the federal government would
take ~cognizance OF the case at once if
the New York judge decided that it
only had Jurisdiction.

Justice to Mr.. Hanna.

We notice a disagreeable, and, as we
believe, an unwise tendency on the part
of certain provincial daily journals, pub
lshed in New York and elsewhere to poke
readers to believe that all of the things
which seem to be expected of him are
not properly to be expected of him, and, in
short, to discount, in an mfriendly and
partisan way, Mr.. Hanna's efforts TO
help to carry out, or perhaps to take the
lead in helping to carry out, the policies
To which his party is pledged.
We are independent and fair enough to
sa that this is not giving Mr.. Hanna
TO let him alone. We were glad the other
day that the silver Republican Senators,
as well as the Democratic Senators, were
agreed upon the wisdom OF permitting the
responsible leaders Of the Republican
party to have their way with the leglsla-
ton for which the country will hold them
responsible, and to do as they choose
also in administrative affairs, over which
the people will he no less watchful This
was our position, then, and it is the same
today
Mr.. Hanna has been repeatedly placed
in positions of responsibility by his party,
and certain things are expected of him
willingly by his friends, unwilIingly by
his foes. He has a right to try fairly
and thoroughly. Give him the chance,
gentlemen.

The suggestion is made by a mugwump
newspaper, but it is good, nevertheless, that
Hon. Fitzhugh Lee, of Virginia, be immedi-
ately renornnated by President Mckinley
for consul general at Havana. II Field
Marshal Murat HaIstead expects this office
let him waive his claim for the moment
FitzEugh Lee is an older if not better
soldier, and perhaps Mr.. Halstead might
well be appointed to some position in which
the Senate could not object to him. FitZ-
hugh Lee is probably gold Democrat

business that all good citizens ought to be

Sneaker and President.

il is interesting TO note that tue Hon.
Thomas B. Reed OF Maine is now adj
mitted to be sure OF another election TO
the SpeakeTShip OF the House. Great
claims were made for the strength Of
two or three men ike Grosvenor OF Ohio
and Hopkins OF Illinois, ia connection with
certain more or less imaginary Speaker
ship candidates.. but they al seem TO
have vanished into the outer ether. We
expected just as much. When they come
10 opposing the czar, they don't oppose
him. He wears the crown, and he isn't
afraid Of assassination, either Moreover,
we read that the leading Republicans
Of the next House are beginning to ask
Mr. Reed for committee places which
suit their eminence and accomplishments
and distinguished public service They
are climbing aboard the Reed band wagon
80 numerously, in other words, that it
is il danger Of tipping over.
And there is also evidence TO lead the
iUpdltial ODseFNeF TO btiieNe Ghat the
Reed band wagon does not resemble in
any way the Harrison ice wagon, to which
the Speaker used to refer piayfully. Mr.
Reed is getting to be real genial. He has
called donthenew President and has assured
him that the new tariff bin will not
BE- impeded inthe House, which is as much
asto say that 1t viii go through quick, even
under the propulsion of the Speaker him

comes from the very State of John L.

siderable interest, and he therefore must
TO some extent misrepresent his constitu-

Elijah A. Morse wouldn't hear of such a
thing, and Picker of South Dakota has
always set his face against this type of
amusement. There are other members
also whose principles and pocket-books are
firm in the face of this temptation. But

BIG STRIKE ABOUT ENDED.
Cleveland Shipyard Workers Likely
to Win the Victory.

Cleveland, Ohio, March Cit is believed
that the big shipbuilders' strike will soon
be ended. Today Manager Newman, OF the
Globe Company, sent a long communication
to the strikers. The document says that
the company will maintain the scale which
it signed, which calls for double time on
holidays, for overtime and extra work, and
which was the bone of contention last
Monday when the men went out. II also
says it will give preference to union men
as far as possible
a meeting Of the union was held at
p. IN. this afternoon, at which Newman )
proposition was thoroughly discussed. A
committee was then appointed to call at
the Globe offices with counter proposition
from the men. Though the strikers would
say nothing, all were confident that the
strike would be settled. If settled on the
company's proposition it will be practi-
cal victory for the men. The only point
they wilIhave to concede Will be therecogni-
ton Of the unio II by the company.
If the Globe men go back the Cleveland
Shipbuildng Company will undou btedly set
tie wlthit men on the same terms.
