Such Has Come to BE the Condition of
This Government, Says Woodrow Wilson.
This singular leaderless structure of our
government, says Professor Wilson in the
July Atlantic, never stood fully revealed
until the present generation, and even now
awaits general recognition. The trainers
Of the constitution no doubt expected the
president and his advisers to exercise a real
leadership in affairs, and for more than
generation their expectation was fulfilled.
Washington was accepted as leader no less
by congress than by the people. Hamilton,
from the treasury, really gave the govern
ment both its policy and Its administrative
structure. If John Adams had less author.
ity than Washington, 1t was because the
party he represented was losing Its hold
upon the country. jefferson was the most
oonsummate party chief, the most I'M
checked master of legislative policy we
have had in America, and his dynasty was
continued in Madison and M1,roe, but
Madison's terms saw Clay ana Calhoun
come to the front in the house, ready to
guide and coach tho president rather than
be too absolutely controlled by him. Mon
roe was not of the caliber of his predeces-

ably bland and free from extremes of
heat and cold throughout the year. 1t
is rainy, however, but the rain is of
good quality, gentle in its fall, filling the
fountains of the streams, and keeping
the whole land fresh and fruitful, while
anything more delightful than the shin
ing weather after rain--tbe great
round sundays of June, July and Au-
gust-can hardly be found elsewhere.
An Alaska midsummer day is day
with night. In the extreme northern
portion of the territory the sun does
not set for weeks, and even as far north
as Sitka and Fort Wrangel it sinks only
few degrees below the horizon, so
that the rosy colors of the evening blend
with those of the morning, leaving no
gap of darkness between. Neverthe-
less the full day opens slowly. At mid
night, from the middle point between
the cleaning and the dawn, low arc
of light is seen stealing along the hor-
lion, with gradual increase of height and
span and intensity of tone, accompanied
usually by red clouds, which make q

The pluck which enabled him to with
stand these terrible wounds, and to
which he is indebted for his life, per-
haps, more than to any other cause,
sticks to him yet; and he is one of the
most jovial of men, enjoying good
joke as much as anybody. He tell this
on himself:
When canvassing for governor he
was invited by lady who knew of his
loss of limbs to make her house his
home, and he accepted. She ordered
her manservant, who knew nothing of
the generals misfortune, to see that
he was comfortably put to bed. The
darby felt proud of the honor of serv-
ing distinguished general and the
next governor, and the general was in
clined to be communicative, which de-
lighted the negro very much, and made
him feel at home with his guest.
When he took the generals arm off
and laid it on the table he commenced
to express great sympathy, saying: cit
sho' is bad for man to lose he arm dat

they?" When the general told him to
take his leg off the negro thought he
was joking, but went at it in business
like way, though he was almost ready
to shed tears of sympathy this time.
Placing the leg on the table by the
side of the arm, and looking at the gen.
eral, he said: "Umph! leg off on one
side, an arm off on t'other. Dat is too
bad, to cut man up in dat sort of
way!" The general saw his opportu-
nifty for little fun had come, so, lean
ing his body forward, said: " Come,
now, take my head offl'' But the ne
gro was gone.-Nashville American.

In Burma, when a man meets a
woman, he puts his nose and his mouth
close to her cheek and draws long
breath, as if inhaling delicious per-
fume. He does not kiss her cheek,
strange to say. A man is greeted in
exactly the same way.
In the greater part of Germany it is
considered an act of politeness, not of
gallantry, for a man to kiss a woman's
hand. In Italy that privilege is al
lowed only to near relatives, while in
Russia it is extended to kissing the fore

The men of Continental Europe have

say laughable, here. They greet one
another with kiss, if they be friends.

Newspaper Intolerance.

A Hartford newspaper devotes con-
siderable space to defending its own
intolerance" There are some good
things--a good many of them, in fact
toward which newspaper should be
intolerant, and it should frankly avow
that it is intolerant. We have had of
late years good deal of talk about
liberality, and it has led to much mush-
mess of treatment of nearly all subjects
which demand public attention. There
is sort OF liberality which is simply
fatal to adequate consideration of living
issues. But decision means intolerance
intolerance in it's best sense and no
man need be ashamed that he is intoler-
ant in that way. To give a concrete
example, intolerance of humbug in pub
lie officials is the only attitude that a
self-respecting newspaper can take
