HOW WILL MKINLEY DECIDE

The row between Green and Grant is
really the contention whether the men
who stood by Mckinley when he need
ed friends are to be set aside for the
men who were his opponents for the
presidential nomination. A New York
correspondent to the Mail and Express
gives the following little story that
comes in very pat.
"Apropos of President McKinley's
tact in soothing out the friction that
always comes over appointments, I
heard a good story yesterday about
the recent visit to the White House
of a delegation from one section of this
state to seek the appointment as Uni
ted States district attorney for one of
the strong organization men up there.
Perhaps a dozen we'll known Republi-
cans, including two congressman, were
in the delegation. The president lis
tened to the spokesman, and then
drawing the circle of visitors closer
about him said something like this
Gentlemen, I am going to be frank
with you. I shall not appoint your
candidate. A year or so ago, certain
Republicans in your section took their
political lives in their hands in my in
terest, and made it known far and
wide that they were my friends. That
was a time when I needed such friend
ship. Now it happens that can serve
them, and they have presented a wOr-
thy and entirely satisfactory man for
! this Office you seek, and asked me To
appoint him. Should 1 turn my back
upon them? Would any OF you gen
tlemen here assembled do so? Now
I want to ask how many of you here
if you were in my place, would do as
propose to do, and stand by the mer
| who served in your cause?
The presidents visitors looked a
each other in an inquiring sort of way
and one after another indicated tina
he would stand by his friends were h,
in McKinley's place. Then gentle
men. l may assume that my appoint
ment of the candidate 1 have in mint
will have your full approval. 1 biz
you good-day" And the delegation
that had come all the way from uppe
New York for one candidate only t
approve of his rival filed out of tn
room in silent wonder as to what ha
happened. AS they walked out on tn
White House porch one of them turne
to his companions with the remark
81 tell you boys, that man McKinle
is a crack "a jack"
There was no dissent to the PROPOSE

EDITORIALS.

4 glance through the editorial col
umns of the leading newspapers of the
poets anything like advanced ideas and
opinions upon the foremost questions
of the world. Editorial columns are
largely edited Geographic dispatches.
The Turk Greek war finds repetition
in a thousand editorials found upon the
daily occurrences at the front, and it
is all the same thing. 1t is only when
our great dailles get off into discus
sion of their home matters that they be-
come original. The national govern
ment toots it's doings through one big
tin horn. The only thing interesting
today, bearing a semblance of original
ity, is the newspaper discussion of Their
home matters.

KEEP TEXAS MONEY IN TEXAS

KEEP TEXAS MONEY IN TEXAS
At last the city of Houston is waking
up to organizing a home industry as
ISOLATION. Mr.. w. D. Cleveland,
Houston's biggest grocery man says
in an interview:
The organization of a home industry
club in Houston is extremely impor-
tant. l am informed that such clubs
are being organized in many portions
of the state, and their object is to di-
rect attention to goods manufactured
in Texas. The ladies in many portions
of the state are taking an interest in
these clubs, and they favor local mer-
chants who give Texas manufactured
goods the preference.
Dallas, Waco and San Antonio are
paying a great deal of attention to the
organization of these clubs. Another
object of the home industry club is to
induce retail merchants to give the
wholesale houses in Texas the prefer
ence at the same price. 1t is a fact
that great many goods are ordered
from st. Louis, New Orleans. and even
Chicago, that could be bought lust as
cheaply in any one of the jobbing cit
les of this state. trust I am not par
ticularly selfish, but 1 must say that
the motto, Keep Texas money in Tex
as meets with my approval, and I
shall take pleasure in being present at
the meeting to be held at Turner hall,
Thursday evening, April 29."

THE WASHINGTON SITUATION.

A special to the Galveston News da-
ted the oath advises the country that
Chairman e. II. r. Green has left the
seat of war and gone west. That the
Texas row is assuming national pro-
portions. That Grant refuses to dis
cuss the proposals made by the Green
sire to Mr.. Hanna. That it is evil
dent that the game has about come to
the point where one or other faction
must win, and the other must know
it, Grant has never remotely conced-
ed that he would enter into a COM
promise. From every incident in the
fight, from it's beginning to this time,
his position has beeen that he was en-
titled to the distribution of the pa
tronage of Texas among those in the
state who stood with him in his fight
for McKinley's nomination and that he
would be given this patronage. In
his position up to this time, and now
as much as ever, there has never been
any compromise idea. If there is a
compromise, he Is whipped. If, on the
other hand, the opposition making pro-
posals of settlement to Hanna or Nc
Kinley should fail, it is whipped. This
is the situation at present. Something
might occur which. would prolong the
battle, but now that the issue is join
ed. from all appearances, on the propo-
sails submitted by the anti-Grant ele-
ment do not see what can prevent an
early settlement of the question as to
who is to control

ETIQUETTE IN THE GRANT PA
RADE.

The ambassadors representing En-
gland, France, Germany and Italy were
to form a feature of the Grant parade
but the trouble of precedence cut them
out. Secretary of State Sherman
wrote letter to Mayor Strong inform
ing him that newspapers mad been gull
ty of printing good deal OF foolish
matter about the question of etiquette
as to whether the president and cab
met should precede the ambassadors.
They conclude to simply ask for sit
ting room at the tomb.

PATERNALIsM A GOOD THING.

The recent disastrous floods in the
Mississippi valley has convinced some
of the most rantankerous Democrats of
the south that it would be a. good thing
to turn the Mississippi river over to
the Federal government that the
states have proven unable to protect
themselves against the waters of this
mighty river accumulated for thous-
ands of miles in its main channel and
tributaries At last the old, pent up,
stingy unpatriotic doctrine of the
Democratic party opposition internal
improvements, must give way before
a broad liberal pate rnalism that can
care for the welfare of the great
est number people.

IRISH GIRLS BY THE THOUSAND.
OF the 1000 Irish immigrants who
leave their native hand this week to
seek homes in America, more than
three-foIl tbs are young women. There
are no more desirable immigrants to
our shores than these Irish girls. They
are healthy, thrifty, honest and will
ling, and as a class they represent as
high an average of intelligence, virtue
and usefulness as the members of any
foreign race bring to this country.
The harsh conditions which drive these
regular thrOngs of vigorous, kindly and
faithful girls from the land of their
birth to find homes in a distant land
are a reproach to British rule, but the
bouyant hosts of rosy-cheeked new
corners present visible assurance that
Ireland's loss is Americas gain.-N, Y,

distress.

of Sligo, ireland, in 1896. In 1859 he
emigrated to this, country. He was or

ed to the Audenred parish.

The superior court on Saturday, Judge
Rice dissenting, reversed the action Of
the Philadelphia license court in refus-
ing license to Jerry Donoghue and en-
tered a rule ordering the court below to
issue the license The dissent of Judge
Rice was of secondary quality in its
hearings, as he agreed with his col
leagues in their reasoning, but different
ly from them, he was.of opinion that the
lower court should not be ordered to
issue the license, but that the matter
should be referred back to that court for
rehearing and disposition.
The opinion of the majority was writ
ten by Judge Smith, 1t was of sweep
ing nature and indicates so great de-
yeopment of law in the direction of
curbing aud directing the discretion of
license courts that it is likely to receive
a great deal of attention throughout the
the state.

against one of the teams of that city
The game was well played on both sides
and lasted eleven innings. 1t ended 5
to 3 in favor of the Allentown club.
The contest was exciting at times, and
the Freeland players allege that so
close were they to victory that the
umpire found it necessary to resort to
some questionable decisions in order to
make the score what it was. The fol-
lowing was the score:
