The Too Sure Presidential Faction.
Mr.. William NJ. Reedy, editor Of the

The republican party, or, at least the
greater pant Of it. which may be known
as the presidential faction, is too sure

though it seems, may be stronger this
year than four years ago. The disaf-
lection of republican tariff reformers
with the Porto Rican bill is very great.
Resentment against the project of levy
ing tariff against our own territory is
general and bitter, especially as the
president surrendered his free trade
views as to the island, at the demand Of
the protected industries. Ruling our

reasons for it i'm Omaha as in Lincoln.
The editors seem tC have ability.
The quality we all strive for and
which is so far away and by most of
us unattainable, vaguely known as
distinction, is not altogether lacking.
The cover is in rouge ct nOir. She who
wrote Paderewski at Lincoln has surely
taken the course in Installation at

Of an hour we were swallowed up in

the situation. Every once in while

Lincoln having my life squeezed out
in the cause of Art, and that would
brace me for a few more mOuthfuls of
fur.
At last the crowd parted and we
were fairly shot thro' the door and
landed high and dry in the lobby.
A few minutes past nine Paderewski
walked upon the stage. He has the
most remarkable, compelling person
atty ever felt. He make me think
of Bagheera. Kipling's black panther.
His physique is fine and he has
cOurtly. graceful bearing; there is a
peculiar charm about his head. as
everybody knows
The first part of the program was
marred by thh most irritating and
blasphemOus noises. 1t was incon-
ceivable how they were all perpetrat-
ed. Poor Paderewski had no chance
at all. l could feel him becoming
more erraged at every interruption.
The sounds seemed to give him posi-
tive physical pain. When the radi-
atOr began to thump, his cup of Bit
terness was full. He relieved his feel
ings by most vicious preliminary
bang and a glare of outraged feeling.
His pedaling is unique. l never saw
anything that approached it. His
feet are nearly as active as an organ
lists. At times he strikes from the
thigh, lifting his whole leg. This is
particularly noticeable when he gets
into a part with lots of dash and
swing. He makes the rythm in this
startling way.

presented perfect sea OF human pc

unanimous desire to welcome the aged
BOer statesman
From the moment the white, 12-oared
barge left the side of the Gelderland,
with Mr. Kruger, who appeared to be in
good health, sitting in her stern, sur
rounded by the BOer representatives, in
Guiding DR.. Leyds and MeSSrS. Fischer

and never ceased until Mr.. Kruger en-

course of people remained in front OF
the building until Mr.. Kruger appeared
on the balcony where he had to remain
for some time, uncovered, acknowledge
ing the acclamation of his thousands of
admirers, who continued cheering until
they were hoarse with shouting.
Replying to the storm of acclamatlons
from the solid block of thousands of en-

warm reception given him today would

sacrifice their freedom. They will rath-

Replying to the addresses of welcome
to the presidents of the Paris and Mar

Dutch in a low voice, accompanying his
words with energetic movements of his

warmth of the reception accorded him

government, he spoke of the war as ter

This declaration, which Mr. Kruger
made dispelled at once any impression
that he intends to accept a compromise
from the British government. His an

The scene at the landing place was an
animated one. The decks of all the
