The Presidents Bet.

Speaking Of Presidential possibilities,
writes G. Z. Hamilton in the New Voice,
Il might tell you rather amusing Incl
dent. During Senator Hiscock's term,
about twe4ve years ago, he gave a din
ner in Washington TO all the men of eth
er party who were considered presidential
possibilities Among the men invited
were William NJ Evarts, Senators In
gals, Sherman, Morgan (Ala.), Mckinley
Allison, etc. The only outsiders were Mr..
Arkell, the late Mr. Gilman and myself.
When we took our seats ! found that l
was placed between Mr.. Mckinley Chen
congressman and Senator Allison of
Iowa. AS We sat down l said to both
men:
81 am particularly glad I am sitting
here, because l am sitting between Two
men, one Of whom I am sure will some
day be President.
Senator Allison pooh-poohed the idea
that he would ever be President; but as
insisted that either he or Mr. Mckinley
would some day be in the White House,
he said. laughingly:
Wen, I'll tell you what I'll do. If
ever 1 am so fortunate as TO be struck
by the presidential lightning III give you
whatever you ask for. Is that fair?'
a." Certainly, and III name what l want
now. It's hats-hats for four years
" III do better than that he answered.
I'll make il clothes, and I'll put it down
in black and white. He took one of the
menu cards and wrote: L agree to fur
nish Hamilton with clothes for four years
during my term as President of the
United States
"Mr. Mckinley had been talking. with
the gentleman who sat on the other side
of him. but he now turned 10 us and said:
What's all this?"
Senator Allison explained to him the
promise.
s. IN stand by that said Mr.. Mckinley,
with laugh. Give me that menu card.
And underneath the promise of Senator
Allison, and alongside of his A., he wrote
Mex
Il folded that menu card and put it in
my pocket. When I got home l put it
among some letters that 1 intended to
keep.
shortly after the election l was going
to Canton in company with some Well
known men, among whom was Abner Nc
Kinley. Stories were being told of the
| President-elect, and | related this incident.
Shortly after this | had dinner one night
at Mr.. McKinley's house. and after we had
lit our cigars Abner Mckinley said to the
President-elect: DO you know, William
that you owe Hamilton something"
" I don't recall il said Mr.. Mckinley.
Are you pOsitiVe?
The President said again he could moi
remember, and then l started 10 tell him OF
the dinner at which he made the promise
| The moment 1 mentioned Senator His
! cocks name he said on. now, [ recall the
matter, and I most certainly shall live W
| 70 it. l told him that l considered the
promise a joke but he insisted on taking
it seriously, and said that at least 1 should
| get a suit of clothes and overcoat and SEND
the bill to the White House.
I have not done so yet but if bushes;
gets bad, said Mr.. Hamilton, with 6
laugh, 81 may cash in on the President
of the United States"

On Fooling the Peonle.

There was man who went about pre-
dieting that the world would come to an
end in two years, says the Chicago Times
Herald.
Put up your tools,'' he cried; cease
your striving after money! Fan on your
knees and pray for in Two years the earn
ings that We save and the work that ye
do to-day will be as nauSht."
And the people scoffed at him, and flung
eggs over against him and refused to put
money in his hat.
Now therefore, the man saw that the
people would not believe him, and he sat
him down by the wayside, and he laid hold
of the brow appertainingly unto him, and
he thought.
Presently he arose and a smile was upon
his lips, and he went forth into the
haunts of men and he cried aloud unto
them, saying:
ooh. my brothers you are sore Cypress
cd Your masters are grinding you down.
mighty crash is near at hand. Why do
YOU spend your days in toll? Why do you
not rush forth into the market places and
arouse your fellow slaves from the stupor
into which they are fallen? A storm i'm
pendsi Be ready! Throw your tools away!
Arise in your might and help to smiteH'
And the people contributed unto his sup
port and accepted him as a great prophet,
and got so busy discussing the approach
ing burst up that they neglected their
work and were locked, and their hearts
were heavy.
Moral: You can fool good many of the
people all the time if you do your footing
on a political basis.

CURRENT COMMENT.

Two New York newspapers that do not
agree respecting the Souths position rela-
tive to the Philippine affair are the Buffalo
Courier and the New York Herald The
Courier says: THE recruiting of two negro
regiments in The South is an admission
that white recruits are scarce in that sec
ton The Southerners are not enamoied
of the annexation of tropical islands
whose products will inevitably come into
competition with their own" To this the
Herald replies: "Our up state contempor-
ary seems to underestimate the patriotism,
the fighting Valor and the business dis
cernment of the South. No part of the
country has given a more prompt response
to the call for troops in the late war than
have the Southern states, and no more gall
liant service or daring deeds have been
chronicled than were accomplished by
Southern soldiers. white recruits have
never been and never Will be scarce in
Dixie when duty calls. AS for the CONNER
cial side of the question, the South has TOO
keen a business sense to fear the results
of expansion. AS Mr. Henry Watterson,
voicing Southern sentiment, lucidly ex-
planned. our new possessions WIFI not be
feared as competitors of the Southern pro-
Queer but as American capital and Ameri-
can enterprise build up the newly invgor-
ated territory il win become a welcome
outlet and a valuable market for what we
have to sell. Our Buffalo friend can rest
easy. There's nothing wrong with the
South, commercially or periodically"
OF the cotton situation the New Orleans
Picayune Dem) says: There is every
good reason for believing that the crop
will be considerably short of last year,
and, consequently, will later on sell at
higher prices, no matter what the imme-
date effect of MIR. NeilPs views may be.
Merchants who have the well-being of this
section at heart win do well to warn their
customers in the country against the folly
of placing implicit confidence in big-crop
views and urge them to market their
crops with discrimination. At the present
low price, there is small chance of cotton
going lower: hence there Is little risk taxi
en- in acting deliberately and without hur-
~ or panic"
The Memphis Commercial-Appeal Dem)
says: "Extenuating circumstances" in
case of treason are something unheard of
before in The history of the world Posi-
bly, the Dreyfus sentence is to be taken
only in a Pickwichan sense"

SEEKING AID FOR THE BoEns.

Mr. W Bourke Cochran, who has been
in retirement lately-at least the public
has heard very little of him-has written
a letter to the President asking him TO
make an offer of friendly mediation in the
dispute between Great Britain and the
Transvaal. Mr. Cochran thinks that even
If the offer should not be accepted II
would call forth from Great Britain a
Full and complete statement of the
grounds on which the peace and integrity
of the Transvaal are threatened. such
a statement would. in the opinion of Mr..
Cochran be a powerful obstacle to hos
Titles. because it would enable the civ
ilized world to form an opinion Of the
merits of the controversy. He thinks that
the Judgment Of the world would be
against the British, and that being the
fact Great Britain would hesitate long
time before invading the TransvaaL
1t does not look now as if there would
be war between the British and the Beers.
They are getting nearer together, and the
chances are that at the conference which
is soon to be held an agreement will be
reached that will insure the peace of the
Transvaal for a long time. While there
appears to be some merit in the demand
made by Great Britain for concessions,
sympathy is with the Transvaal. 1t is a
fact that on the demand of Great Britain
the Transvaal has made a great many
concessions within the last few years. The
concessions Great Britain is now demand
ing mean practically that the Beers shah
give UP control of their country. There
are only about 10000 of them altogether
and there are many more than that num-
Der of Outlanders.
If these Outanders are given citizen
ship after five years residence they will
be able to take charge of the government
because they can outvote the Beers. The
trouble with these Ouuanders is that they
take very little interest in the country.
They do not mean TO spend their lives
there Most of them are interested in the
mines or are connected with businesses
which are dependent on the mines. Their
purpose is to go back TO England when
they have accumulated fortunes, or
enough to permit them 10 live comfor-
tably in their native land. In our dis
patches the other day it was stated that
they had applied to the Boer government
for permission to remain neutral in the
event of war with Great Britain That
showed that they do not care enough
about the Transvaal to take up arms in
its behalf.
AS a matter of fact, if the Outlandera
were to get control of the government
they would administer it in the interest
of Great Britain, and in some quarters it
is surmised that that is what Great Brit
ain is after. She wants to control the i'm
mensely rich diamond and gold mines OF
| the country.
1t is hardly probable however, that the
I President will accede to Mr.. Cockran's re-
quest. This country is on very friendly
terms with Great Britain at present, and
besides. she stood our friend in the wal
with Spain. The President, therefore, is
not likely to take a step that might be
construed by Great Britain as an un
| friendly interference.

GETTING READY FoR 1900.

The politicians of the Republican party
are selecting running mate for the Pres
ident In 1900. 1t is said the health of Vice
President Hobart will not permit him to
be a candidate for denomination. He has
heart disease, so 1t is reported, and it
would be dangerous for him TO undergo
the excitement of a political campaign
Although it IS known that the President
am Vice President have always been on
the most friendly terms. there appears TO
De some ground for thinking that the poll
ticians are not anxious for the Vice Pres
dents denomination. They think they can
find a man who can add more weight to
the ticket--at least that is the impression
that is gained from the talk of some of
them.
The man they want is Gov. Roosevelt
of New York He would strengthen the
ticket but Gov. Roosevelt is not anxious
TO De a candidate. He is looking towards
1904. when he expects to be named for the
frs place. The outlook is, that as bad
as the Republicans want a military hero
on the ticket with Mr.. Mckinley they will
have to get along with a civilian. SO it
is limited that if Mr. Root makes a good
record in the war department he will be
honored by his party with the nomina tion
for Vice President 1t is not known of
course that he is seeking the place, out
the chances are that he would not refuse
it if il were offered to him.
