with the rainbow colors of hope.
Every rose has its thorns. Every prize
his its qualifications. Even the man
who attains the presidency finds him
self probably as much burdened as hon
ored. 1t is more than likely that the
weight of burden of responsibility is as
great as the weight Of the honor of as
cendancy. Who knows?
Very few people can see President
Mckinley nowadays, because his time
Is SO much occupied with state affairs.
He is preparing his annual message TO
congress. Necessarily that document
must occupy considerable of his time
and attention. Nevertheless, he Is
obliged to see senators and representa-
tives; or those who come to see him for
them; and all callers have some special
favors to ask. 1t is painful almost to
witness the clamor of Office seekers.
Whoever supstairs in the white house
finds crowd there. and only the ia
vored few can get through the crowd
to the door of the private secretary.
Everybody must send a card to that Of
fetal; and it is his duty to decide who
shall see the president, and who shall
not.
AS the writer came forth this morn
ing. Senator Platt, of New York. en-
tered the Office of the president, through
the Office of the private secretary. On
the outside there were so, or more, all
of them hoping against hope. for a
chance to place their claims" to Of
flee personally before the president. At
least 20 of them have been there on the
anxious seat since last March; and there
they are doomed to stay, hoping against
hope.
When Senator Platt came out, the
writer asked him what success?" He
replied: "The same old story. There
are too many seekers, and too few
places"
Hasn't the president given New
York her share?"
my friends think not. They want
more. and IL Is my duty to present their
papers and request favorable considera-
| ton"
And the diligent, sleepless politician :
the man who has been called the "easy
boss" Of New York. because he is al
ways so mild and easy in his manners
and so gentle with his friends, but
toned up his coat and disappeared in
the drizzle outside. Senator Platt is a
better man than he is generally sup
posed to be. One thing Is certain: he Is
always loyal TO his friends.
And then came Senator Quay. OF
Pennsylvania, the astute politician who
has for full generation been the leader
OF his party in the Keystone state. He

This has been a day of interviews;

With grave smile, he replied: "The

"How are things going9 Are there
any offices left?"
"very few" was the response. "But
as long as there is an office left, and o

There you have little pen picture of
real life in Washington. 1t Is easy
enough for country politicians to get
up petitions and other papers seeking
federal appointment. ii is easy enough
for each one TO receive the Endorsement
Of the county chairman, and of the con-
gressman for the district. 1t is not very
hard for the senators to go to the white
house and present the claims Of all
these thousands of party workers who
want Office as a reward for their polit-
,cal work, but there are not enough Of
ices.
1t is no wonder that President McKin-
lev. who has been member of congress
and who practically knows all about
the pressure for office, should feel per-
feet sympathy with the congressman
and senator's; while, at the same time,
