The President Worked Down.

Washington, March 24,-Presi
dent Mckinley is to take a vacation.
He will be forced to it by the hord
of hungry office seekers now besieg-
ing the White House. They are
there when the doors are opened in
the morning and remain until the
President is compelled, through
sheer fatigue to seek the seclusion
of his private apartments
The Presidents ply ysician has Civ
en- imperative orders that he shall
rest briefly from the strain. Hewill
go to Atlanta City in few days.
The Presidents haggard looks be-
tray the fact that his vitality is fast
becoming exhausted. He gives to
each visitor a courteous hearing. but
the tax on his strength is very severe.
The warm weather of the past few
days has added to his discomfort,
and it has been suggested that he
spend an occasion day in rest at the
seashore or in the country near the
city. His friends believe that if be
does not take brief outing he will
break down from overwork. They
maintain that he has been under a
terrific strain since bis nomination
last June and that it is not In human
nature to continue it indefinitely.

1t Will Look Queer.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
What is the House of Representa-
tives going to do while the Senate is
leisurely debating the tariff bill? 1t
will have a queer look for over three
hundred and fifty statesmen to be
twirling their thumbs while the
House is in session. and adjourning
every third day to keep from doing
something. It is understood that
this is the method to be adopted to
concentrate the attention of the
country on the Senate and spur that
body on to action. 1t may turn out
to be more effective to make the
Hous, the "cynosure of all eyes, -
much to its own disadvantage. The
mistake of the tariff pushers is in
the assumption that the people of
this country are yearning for tariff
revision and that they will make a
great disturbance if the Dingley bill
is not promptly enacted The de-
mand for protection is among class
only, and it is not necessary to
touch the tariff to raise the necessary
revenue.

ton that the man selected for Am
bassador to Germany cannet be ap'
pointed because his wife and the
wife Of Senator from his State are
bitter enemies, and that an Ohio
candidate for Assistant Secretary OF
State, though favored by the Presi'
dent, is debarred for similar reason,
we have q reminder of the good old
times when pretty Peggy Eaton
wrecked Jackson's Cabinet and
changed the course OF history.
There was nothing surprising
about it then or is there now. For
whether DIR. Lyman Abbott believes
in Genesis and the Garden of Eden
or not. it is fact that lovely woman
has been changing the course OF his

said that she intended to make him
President, and she did. His biograph
or and best friends intimate that she
did it by making him SO restless at
home that he was obliged to give up
his taste for domestic happiness apd
Peek greatness instead. But, az
every one knows. Mrs. Lincoln's s
temper was result of disease. and
she is not to be blamed for it.
She is far from being the only
woman Of her time who did more tc
make history than most men. The
wife of Andrew Johnson, who taught
him to write, was another President
maker. 1t was a woman who sent
Samuel Houston into exile when he
was Governor Of Tennessee, and by
so doing won the battle of San ia
cinto and freed Texas. Every body
remembers what Mrs. Logan did fol
her "John." There are Sen ators in
Washington who are there because
their wives were ambitious for of
fetal life at the capitol. And back
OF every event in our history that is
worth remembering there is nearly
always at least one woman, and
sometimes dozens and hundreds OF
them, furnishing the real motive

Iby the Board OF Health, and % no ms
~cretionary power is given to any of the
quarantine officers, cases arise in which
the enforcement of the order net only
works great hardships but seems to be,
and is. absurd. We will take, for in
stance, the case of Mr.. Stokes, presi-
dent of the board of Supervisors. He
was in Nashville when the quarantine
was established, a place in which there
was no suspicion of fever, and the whole
route which he had to travel TO reach
his home in Noxubee county was non
infected, vet when he reached Jackson,
Tenn, a point on the NJ. so. railroad
he was ordered to halt and show his
pass, and not being provided with that
very important instrument, he was
obliged to go into camps there, as II
were. and communicate in a roundabout
way with headquarters in this state,
Although there was no interruption to
the mails about two weeks elapsed be
fore he was furnished with the necessa
nv papers to enter this state and reach
his home,
And now, if a Meridianite wants to
come to Macon, a simple health certif'
cate from the proper authorities Of that
suspicious burg will admit him iuto
good society anywhere in Macon or
Noxubee; but if a Maconite wishes TO go
to Meridian he must first make applica-
ton to Meridian authorities for a per
init to enter that town; his application
must be passed upon by the council and
if he is lucky, he will find his name pub
lished in the paper. as one among the
privileged few who a enter the pre-
cincts Of the Queen Of the East. Well,
as Meridian stands between Us and the
danger line, we will not chide her for
being over cautious. but would rather
encourage her to keep a sharp lockout
