OF the Impression that his features or
presence make upon others. In like
way it is impossible for him TO see his
own traits of character as others see
them We cannot get outside of our
selves and look at ourselves against
the background of circumstances and
conditions which are patent to every
body else. In his famous lines Burns
says that a glimpse of ourselves as
"ithers see us" would free us "frae
NOME a blunder" and foolish notion.
That, however, is only a half-truth.
such sight of ourselves might. on the

PRESIDENT M'klhLEY.
starts In with the Hearty Good VIII
of the People.


The best people in the United States
supported the election of Maj. Mckinley
irrespective of party. Many good peo-
pie failed to support him by reason of
partisan bias TO which they could not
at the time rise superior. 1t is probably.
therefore, not too much to say that he
now goes into Office with the sincere
good wishes of an immense majority of
the American people. 1t is doubtful,
indeed, whether any president, since
partisanship in this country was forged
on the anvil of experience, was ever
inaugurated who had at the outset a
more hearty support from the masses
Of the people themselves.
To know this must be a great salts
faction TO Mag. Mckinley; but at the
same time the condition of The public
feeling towards him increases his re-
sponsibilities and does not in the least
lessen the task that he has before him.
With those of whom very much is ex-
pected we have a scarcity OF patience,
and the public is therefore in danger at
the outset of attempting TO hurry the
administration into action not sufi-
GENTLY considered. Against such dan
gers as this we have the calm of Mai.
Mckinley's temperament and his long
experience in public life.
There is a disposition in many quar-
tiers of this country to believe that the
president Of the United States has some
magical power and can do instantly
what he chooses for good or for i'll. This
wrong conception of presidential pow
er has been greatly fostered by the dem
agogues who roam the land with open
mouths and empty heads. But the
president can only execute the laws and
recommend new ones. In this way he
is said to construct policy. But he
can much easier make law of the land
than law of nature. That no man
can do. But, singularly enough, that is
what many presidents are asked to do.
Indeed, they are asked to do more
they are advised to break the law of the
land in vain effort to make new laws
of nature.
or course Maj. Mckinley will try no
such vain things. lie ought not, in
deed, to be pcstercd with the quaclzs who
will so advise him. He should be left
alone to use his great Office TO restore
the confidence of the people in one an
other and in the resources of the coun-
try. With that lubricant of confidence
the machinery of trade and commerce
will be smoothly set in motion, and
when again running on full time we will
lear little of the nostrums which the
ignorant always recommend when
times are unprosperous.
The new president should not be hur-
ried at the outset. He should be per
United to go his own pace-a pace that
wisdom and experience suggest shall
be slow and sure.-Leslie's Weekly.

Brynn's Vanity.

1t is hard to say whether the CON
tinued exhibition of his vanity made
by William j. Bryan is the more pain
full or ridiculous. He cannot be made
to understand that the country has had
far more than enough of him and wants
nothing so much as that he should re-
tire into the obscurity of his own neigh
borhood and no longer thrust himself
impudently on general notice. But he
is just the kind of person who cannot do
this. a little brief noturietv has com
pletely turned his head, and he mag
ines himself a person of commanding
consequence. He is already i'm train
ing for the presidential succession. not
having the wit TO see that the demo
cratic party will never repeat the mon
strous error of 1896. His immediate
idea is to keep himself i'm evidence iu
the east during the Inauguration pc
Rod. He delivered one Of his foolishlv
vapid lectures at New Haven, and a
sheriff attached" the receipts for
claims against the enterprise. And this
kind Of thing, we suppose. will have TO
90 on until there is some tragical col
lapse.--N. Y. Mail and Express

PROGRAMME OF THE PRESIDENT
Framework OF an Administration for
the People.


An inaugural message is an indicatior
rather than a specification of policy
ard in President McKinley's case his
| speech 10 the people will be followed
within a fortnight by first message ia
the congress.
In the subjOined brief passages from
an address which is moderate in tone,
and neither too long nor overel aborated
in details, viii be found some OF tho
foundations for such an administration
as the peoplt of the United States now
need and desire:
The severest economy must be observed
IN all public expenditure and extrava-
Bahce stopped wherever q is found. ano
prevented wherever IN the future IL may
be developed.
II has been our uniform practice to re-
TIRE. not Increase. our outstanding obliga-
lions. and this policy must be resumed
and vigorously enforced
III
Between more loans and more revenue
there ought to be only one opinion. We
should nave more revenue. and that with
out delay. hindrance or postponement A
surplus In the treasury. created by loans,
10 not safe or permanent reliance.
The best way for the government to
maintain its credit is 20 pay as Il goes not
by resorting 10 loans. but by keeping out
OF debts
V
Tho country is clearly opposed to any
needless additions to the subjects OF In
tcrnal taxation, and is committed by its
latest popular utterance to the system Of
tarin taxation.
VI
In the revision OF the tariff especial at
tention should be given to the reenactment
and extension Of the reciprocity principles
OF the law OF 1890
VII.
Commendable progress has been made OF
late In the upbuIlding of the American
navy. but we must supplement these efforts
by providing as proper consort for II a
merchant marine amply sufficient for our
own carrying trade to foreign countries.
VIII.
IL VIII be our aim TO pursue firm and
dignifed foreign policy, which shall be just
impartial. ever watchful of our national
honor, and always insisting upon the en-
forcement of the lawful rights OF American
citizens everywhere.

AN ANECDOTE BY MARK TWAIN.

Mark Twain writes for the Novembe
Century tribute to his fell9w-townsman
the late James Hammond Trumbull. Mr..
Clemens relates the following anecdote:
Years ago. rs l have been told, a wild
over descendant of the Audubon family,
in desperate need. sold perfect copy OF
Audubon's Birds" To commercially
minded scholar i'm America for hundred
dollars. The book was worth thousand
in the market. The scholar complmented
himself upon his shrewd stroke of busi-
ness That was not Hammond Irum-
bulls style. After the war lady in the
far South wrote him that among tho
wrecKage of her better days she had a
book which some one had told her was
worth a hundred dollars, and had advised
her To offer it TO him; she added that she
was very poor, and that IL he would buy
ii at that price, 10 would be a great favor
TO her. 1t was Eliots Indian Bible.
Trum pull answered that IL il was per-
feet copy IL had an established market
value, like "a gold coin, and was worth
thousand dollars; that If she would
send 1t to him he would examine It, and
IL IL proved to be perfect he would sell IL
To the British Museum and forward the
money to her. 1t did prove to be perfect,
and she got her thousand dollars without
delay, and intact.

THE DEMOCRACY MILITANT.

The local Democracy is in the saddle.
Ii boasts that without any outside help
IL can elect Candidate Baker as a straight
Democrat.
No non.partisan votes are asked for.
No independent Republican votes are
asked for.
The Democracy Is out for straight
party victory and If It wins, it will be
claimed by the Democrats alone.
It can be defeated ana il surely will ba
defeated If Republicans and the friends OF
good government and business admin
istration in municipal affairs go TO the
polls tomorrow and vote.
Republicans and independents should es-
TEEN it privilege as it certainly is a
duty, 10 go to the polls and overwhelm
the solid Democracy by marking their
ballots for John H. Kendrick and the
Republican ticket.
IL is lofty. civic duty, a duty that
every voter would naturally feel that he
owes the municipality, unless he chances
to be a Democrat, in which event. IL is
expected that his duty To mis- party faith
would be considered paramount to his
duty to the municipality.
