Depot Privileges.

(From the st. Paul Dispatch.)
Travellers do not care to be assaulted by an
army of hackmen at the union depot, but, on the
other hand, they do net care TO be wholly at the
mercy of one conecln, that may fix its own rules
and serve or ignore the public without thought
care of the consequences. in short, the pu1iie
feels that If the traffic cannot be regulated IN
the ordinary way, by competition, it should be
regulated in special way, by ordinance or act Of
the Legislature. 1t is safe to trust a
corporation too far in the matter OF exclusive
privileges, and it is especially desirable to have
all means of transportation subject to such con
troll that the traveller may readily have redress
for any neglect, nattenton, or inefRcieney ON the
part of the servant.

THE PRESIDENT AT CANTON.
Many Visitors Keep Him From Get
ting Desired Rest

CANTON, ohib Aug. s1.-Despite the
fact that the President and Mrs. McXin-
ley came here for quiet and rest and such
announcement was clearly made by their
friends. they have had little of either, in
the common acceptance OF the term. The
President especially has been almost con-
stantly visiting with callers. Still, he
shows every Indication of being invig-
GRATED by his stay here. Committees
called to invite him to a session OF the
Stark County Schoolteachers Institute,
to county Christian Endeavor rally, to
a special session of his Masonic lodge and
to several other meetings in progress here,
but he declined all invitations. He did
consent, however, to pay brief visit this
evening to a bazaar at the Episcopal
Church. Aside from this he only let the
house for short time during the day
when ne, with Mrs. Mckinley, Mrs. Bar
Der. and Miss Kate Barber, took drive

In all seriousness, sur authorities must

Equally knotty problems have been solved
in the past without, apparently, disturbing
the directing consciences of the nation For
instance, nothing could have been a more
direct violation of law than the fitting out
at Government expense Of two lighthouse
tenders in order that the late Grover Cleye-
land might have their free use after he be-
came a private citizen. OF course, Mr.
Mckinley could not prevent the expenditure
for the reitting. furniture, and supplies,
loot from leaving Washington before he
became President. But, after he entered
the White House, he could have ordered
the lighthouse tenders back TO their legiti-
mate service and requested his retired pred
ecessor TO hire his own yachts.
Again, nothing could have been more
fragrant defiance of law and decency than
the private junket around the Antilles of
Russell A. Alger on palatial steamer, at
a cost to the taxpayers of something like
two hundred thousand dollars. All these
things the people have submitted TO like
sheep. Because they have, and have al
lowed the Administration to evade or break
the law for its own friends and purposes,
they are all the more entitled to ask it to
do something not in itself wrong, but right,
to please them.
