PRESIDENT M'KINLEY.
A Character Sketch by a Washing
ton Correspondent.

TOi1l tlle Chicago JOuIIldl
Washington, March 27.-Probably no
man in public life has so few personal
enemies as Mr. Mckinley. His personal
strength is in a lack of enemies rather
than in an abundance of friends.
Mckinley has none of the personal
magnetism of men like Blaine or Bryan
or Reed. But, while he lacks the at
tractive qualities of these men, he is with
out the repellent ones He does not say
things which sting or wound. He does
not defend personal belief at the cost
of a friend-even a casual one
He is never controversial He is never
sarcastic. He is rather destitute of the
faculty of humor. His smile is of the
benevolent sort.
He takes himself and the world serious
". Not pessimistically or solemnly, but
seriously He never could be anything
but dignifed TO be flippant or frivolous
even for short time, would be as i'm
possible for him as for an elephant to en-
ulate che gambos of a kitten.
His mental makeup is well advertised
by his face 1t is statesque and rather
heavy.
President Mckinley has the listening
faculty to remarkable degree. The peo-
y
talking, and, in consequence, they nearly
always go away with the impression that
he is a very intelligent man. Every day
a score and every week thousands go to
him with the aVowed intention of maxi
ing him see something as they see it,
When they leave they always say they
have had a very satisfactory interview
Many believe che President has come to
think as they do. Sometimes they never
find out otherwise.
1t is simply that the President lets the
other side do all the talking. OF course
he does not remain absolutely mum; but
he never says anything committal He
asks questions, says Yes, yes, I see In
an intelligent and Interested manner, and
at the close invariably announces in a
most earnest and judicial manner that he
viii take the matter under Amusement
He is always glad the individual called;
he has enjoyed the opportunity of having
the matter presented to him In this par
ticular light A shake of the hand. ana
the business Is done.
No offense has been given The Presi-
dent may or may not agree with what
has been said to him. II he does, the
caller has succeeded in his mission. and
II he does not there is no need TO an
ticipate his hostility by telling him so. As
chief executive OF the United States, ana
dictator Of the Philippines and Porto RI
co he has not time TO engage IN fruli
less controversies. As II Is he works near
~ eighteen hours a day, and all the TINE
az a high pressure.

Tallahassee, Fla, April 13.-The contest
for the Democratic SUPERNATURAL nomina-

complicated as between the avowed and
leading candidates--Messrs Fred s. My

think the convention will early become
hopelessly deadlocked
Leading politicians are of the opinion
that the chances for either of the gentle

IIUIII IIIt I1dItIIIIUIV pUII
A "vandaP' bridegroom from Pennsyl-
vania, while on his honeymoon "trip to
Washington city the other day, broke Off
the head of a miniature Diana in one Of
the memorial tablets that decorate the in
interior of the Washington Monument.
The bridegroom tenderly gave the Diana
head TO his bride as a souvenir Of their
visit to Washington, instead of purchas-
ing at the Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing-as he might have done-a beautiful
statuette made of ground-up greenbacks.
But a policeman saw the act and arrested
the vandal who was let off by an inartis-
tic police ma gistrate with paltry fine OF
81, to the disgust of the Superintendent of
Public Buildings. The latter states that
eight out of ten of the mutilators of the
tablets caught so far are ministers. OF
the III memorial tablets but seven are still
intact.

figure for a PEDESTAL He is well adapt
for the role of hero. He would never
disappoint his worshipers by stepping
down from his pedestal and revealing him
self as human. He would not get mar
ried and give the house to his wife the
first week.
Whether the President has any of the
qualifications of a leader remains to be
demonstrated. An an efficient executive,
and a creditable head figure of the repub-
lie even his political antagonists will adj
init he has been a success. But up 10 the
present time he has been follower rather
than a leader of the people. He has
bowed 70, rather than formulated public
sentiment. He has been carried on the
crest of great and important public
events.
Now for the first time in 100 years. the
people and their Representatives in Con-
gress are confronted with problems Of
real craftsmanship. Questions which go
TO the existence and perpetuation Of the
republic are up for solution The people
and the President have begun by being
a. variance on the solution of the fnst

Hcan party. If President Mckinley has
not the ability to lead, some other leader
will take the reins.

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by constant
ly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by II. ]. Cheney,
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only consti-
tutional cure on the market. L is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to 4
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the

TEN. They offer one hundred dollars for
any case it fails to cure. Send for cir
