The Man For the Time.

While it may be presumed that with
any patriotic president, the United
States would have been successful, and
won honor in the contest with Spain,
thinking men cannot but admit that 1t
is we'll that we had an executive so ad-
mirably poised, so deliberate, so just,
so conscientious as President Mckinley.
With the experience of the previous war
in his memory, he sought patiently to
secure peace for Cuba, as his party had
promised and the people demanded.
Slow to wrath, he was not lacking in
courage and firmness when it appeared
that peaceable methods would not pre-
vail. Until this was demonstrated, he
would not sacrifice the life and treasure
of his people in war, although a dema-
gogue would have fastened to respond
to popular clamor. History does not re-
cord a war so successful and 81 quickly
ended, with so little loss of life. No step
was taken during the agitation before
fighting began, that was not wise, and
no action permitted in the conflict that
was not justified. The president has
shown himself in all matters pertaining
to the war to be conscientious, honor
able, unaffected, determined to do right.
Though newspapers have been filled
with the petty %squabbles of officers anx-
ious to claim credit for victories, the
president has modestly refrained from
self congratulation and has ignored the
personal controversies of subordinates.
The United States has never had a
more sincere and able president, and
rank Mckinley with Licoln as truly
good and great.

Nicaragua is looking for the knocker
on the door of the great republic. If
this keeps us, we shall have to not only
keep an open door, but take it off the
hinges and build bay windows on the
south side of the nations house to let
in all the sisters this side of Cap Horn.
1t looks as if this is where the desire
for annexation will end eventually. On
the north, sentiment and climate are
yet at about the same temperature,
though Canadians have rather limited
hat they would not resent an invitation
to the coming family union of 'All
America"

The English revere the royal family,
but do not seem to be charmed with
the cousins in Germany. When it comes
to taking sides in a controversy between
the United States and the country
which furnished Britain their sovereign,
the voice of the people is heard in behalf
of their American brothers. Nor does
the royal family itself show any senti-
ment in favor of Germany by political
acts or expression. The royal family
is scarcely a factor in the conduct of
public affairs, but some leaning toward
the people ruled by the queens rela-
tives would not seem unexpected. The
queen is, however, a level-headed wo-
man, who realizes that her grandson
and his government are not evenly bal
anced and are apparently aggressive in
spirit toward Great Britain, as we'll as
the United States.

clare that they will remain after dis

mites for labor or business there amid
new surroundings, which may bring
fame and fortune. The successful ones
are as apt to come from the eanks as
from the list Of those who sailed with

Arizona, which is building a new cap
itol, too, is not progressing very rapid
ly with the work. The latest hindrance
has been a strike of the mechanics en-
ployed in building. New Mexico can
congratulate itself upon the fact that
it's new capitol will be finished much
sooner thar is usual in erecting state
capitols, and that the comparatively
small sum it will cost will preclude any
suspicion of jobbery and political cor
ruption in erecting the building.

While the price of steel rails bought
now is from $26 to $2S per ton, the big
mills are receiving only about SIS, be-
cause they are busy on contracts taken
months ago at hat figure. They cannot
compete for contracts from new roads
until July, by which time old orders
will be out of the way. In the mean
time smaller mills are getting their own
price, though the advance in the cost
of IRON cuts down their profits sharply.

WHISTLES FOR COURAGE.
Morning Paper Has Heard of McConochie's
Willing Mayoral Candidacy.

The Union continues TO whistle in
its endeavor TO keep up its courage.
While gravely announcing this morn
ing that eX-Mayor McConochie has
consented to become candidate for
the republican mayoralty nomination,
it takes occasion TO speak of all the
influence that has been brought to
bear on the former mayor to induce
him to so consider himself, and there
by get himself in a position to sustain
the inevitable. But in a last, linger-
Ing hope that something e,se may hap
pen, or in order to prevent hard feel
ings. it speaks of some other republic
cans who would like the empty honor.
The morning paper is not so sure now
about Frank Knox as it thought it
Was. bat in lieu of his candidacy n
remem brance of the past Is brought
up in the suggestion that eX-Ald.
w. +. Schroeder is still hankering
to be mayor. And Capt. III. &.
Cleaveland, who. as the Union does
not seem to know, bless its innocent
soul, has recently made up with po
litical enemies common to both, is
also mentioned as available. But for
city clerk the Union has but one can
didate to offer-Ihe charm of the
namesake seeming still to hold w. F.
johnson near to its dear old heart in
that connection. Marion +. Sweeney
and j. X. Scott (what again, but no
matter) are both spoken of in connec-
ton with the nomination for city at
torney. But here the morning papers
list of guesses ends. Thereafter it iu-
dulges in the discussion of possible
aspirants for the other offices, but
ventures no word further as to will
ing sacrifices. The business is too
dangerous and the Union must needs
gain the consent of victims before an
ncuncing with any degree of serious
ness the susceptibility of candidates
