The intellectual Ability of Our Pres

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
The careful reader Of THE Messages
and Papers OF the Presidents" can hardly
fail to be struck by the high level of abil-
ity displayed by the chief magistrates,
from Washington down to Mckinley. OF
course, our Presidents have not all been
statesmen Of the highest order; but they
have been, without exception, men quite
out of the common, and some of them,
as all the world knows, were past masters
in statecraft. The most mediocre of them
all would have been hailed as an extra
ordinary king, as mOnarchs go in the
most civilized countries across the water.
One salient fact stands out from the
record. Two OF our Presidents we're uned-
ucated men In the general acceptation
Of that much-abused term. Andrew jack

The day opened with the boom OF big
guns from the Dolphin, which anchored
off the navy yard, fired the national
salute at sunrise, and church chimes
and hundreds of steam whistles joined
in the noisy chorus At noon the de-
partments closed and poured their thou
sands out to join the crowds on the
streets, and at the same hour salute
of forty-five guns was fired.
THE first days festivities were mark
ed by a parade comprising all the
regular army and naval organizations
