PRESS OPINIONS.

VThe people of the United States
certainly displayed their wisdom when
in 1896 a republican president was elect.
ed.-Albany Journal.
ryThere is reason to fear that Mr..
Bryan will look upon the talk about
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee as a candidate for
the presidency in 1900 as only a revival
of the rebellion of 1861 on a new line
Chicago Tribune.
ryDoes Mr.. Bryan really think the
people of this country are deeply inter
ested in the question of biMetallism
just at present, or is he just sitting up
with the corpse out of respect for the
memory of the deceased ?-Boston Her
aid.
DMr. Bryan is beginning to compre
hend that he will not be nominated by
acclamation in 1900. The enemy's coun-
try is after him, and perhaps his his
tory will be finished two years from
now with the footnote that he "also
ran."-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
DPresident Mckinley need not ex-
pect exemption from criticism. Which
ever course he follows the iackals of
so-called public opinion will follow at
his heels. That is inevitable. But the
president is patriot and a Christian.
Let the towards insinuate and the jack
ais bark.-Iowa State Register.
EyIn view of the way President Nc.
Kinley is acting just now, our convic
tion is that very few of those people out

their action. We have no doubt that the
possession of the presidency would
have sobcred and steaded Mr.. Bryan
to a considerable degree, but, in the
face of what has occurred since the eec-
ton, we are inclined to believe that
there are a good many who voted for
him and yet congratulate themselves
that the country did not take the risk
of his election.-Boston Herald Ind.).
OThroughout all this excitement
;he coolest and the busiest head in the
country has been the presidents. With
a full knowledge of the country's needs
and knowing from actual experience
what war means he has endeavored to
prevent premature action and to secure
time for putting the country on war
footing. The same c!amor that has been
raised against him in some quarters
was raised against Lincoln in the early
days of the rebellion. In the present
crisis it requires greater moral courage
to take the stand that the president has
taken than il would to bow to the scnti
.nent of the radical element and adopt
policy that his knowledge of the situ-
alton and his own good judgment tell
him is an uDwise one.--Albany Jaurnal.

There's one thing about this war busi

put stop to my wlfe's annual-moving agi
tation, which always becomes something
fierce as the first of May draws closer. Be

it the cutest little bijou of wickieup, or
something like that, that she'd ever seen,
and said she'd be perfectly willing to live
and die in such a love of little home. But
she's been hedging more or less all winter,
and the other day at dinner she came out
hat-footedly and made her declaration that
with us 1t was case OF move on May l. 1t
seems that some woman friend of hers down
in the next block had porcelain bathtub
and one or two other conhXns put in her
house, and VIGOROUSLY showed them to my
wife. My wife went to our landlord and
gave him bad quarter of an hour, I'll bet,
from what she told me of it, and when he
told her that the porcelain bathtub scheme
would have to follow little later she told
him he could have his old ancient Aztec
house after the first day of May. When we
first moved into the house we've got now
my wife couldn't talk enough about the
