An Anecdote of Mother McKinley's
Visit to the White House

"Just after President McKinley's
inauguration he had his relatives
who we're in the city at family
dinner at the White House," says
the July Ladies Home Journal in
an illustrated anecdotal biography
of the President. "It was large
company, and very good dinner.
Dear old Mother Mckinley was
there, but she was not very talk.
ative. She was too happy for words.
But she kept a sharp eye on the
dinner, and no detail of it escaped
her. She was impressed by the
quantity of cream served with the
fruit and coffee, for she looked up
at her son in her sweet way and
said:
William, you must keep a COW
now
"Some Of the younger members Of
the family party found it difficult
to suppress smile, but the Presi-
dent, with his usual tact and
graciousness, replied:
"'Yes, mother, we can afford to
have COW now, and have all the
cream we can possibly use.'"

1t is W orth while remembering, a
a political factor and means toward
an end, that the Republicans, the
men whom Lincoln led to free the
slaves, aud to whom belonged Grant
who said "let us have peace" are
now in power, and may, after the
successful term nation of popular
war, remain so for some years to
come. In this condition OF affairs
then it is quite possible, il the Re-
publicans believe Hawaii would be
safe State to count upon in ticklish
times, that we may be nearer to
Stateh hood, after territorial pupilage,
perhaps, than some of the most
sanguine of us anticipate. Califor-
MIA was never territory, and yet
surely the Gibraltar and Malta Of
the Pacific combined is OF more
value than the vast wealth of
minerals, cereals and fruit of the
Escholtzia State. If we are so in
val liable to the fighting arm of the
United States as to be procured at
cost OF the violation of the agis OF
liberty, their constitution andI the
traditional policy OF their wise an.
clients, surely we shall be equally
valuable to the political party that
in few years time will be hustling
around for votes. Moral, for the
wise men; whisper in Harold M.
Sswall's ear, and watt the news to
Mckinley, that we are all Admins
tration Republicans if Statehood be
granted to us, il not then we will be
nothingarians and dream away the
sunny hours in luxurious lassitude
gossiping of our neighbors' frailties
and ignor ing our own.

Der of the men who have been fore
most in their advocacy for annexa-
tion are now as equally anxious to
ally themselves politically with the
