M'KiNLEY AND PATRONAGE.
A Precedent Who has Learned the Art
of Making Enemies lHtO Friends.
oRepubIiean., lAna-Imp.l

Springfield Republican, (Ann-Imp.l
1t has become trite observation that
the President makes dozen enemies for
every appointment given out. Senator
Sherman once said, as we recall, that the
powder Of the federal patronage as applied
in Ohio cost the party holding it from 10
to 20 votes for every Office filled. And if
this were true in the case of Mr. Mckinley
he might about as well throw up his hands,
for he has had far more appointments to
make within an equal time than any other
President was given an opportunity to dis
tribute.
But Mr.. Mckinley is very exceptional
man in this particular We are not sure
but what the rule should be reversed in his
case so as TO read that for every Office he
fills he makes from 10 to 20 friends anj
warm supporters. His genius for pleasing
for drawing those who approach him to
him, for softenlng the pangs of dsappoint
ment in the Ofhce.seeker. for impressing
people with the idea of his own impartial
sincerity and gracious good will-has never
been equalled by any of his predecessors.
He is thus able to send the applicant for
place away with an impression IF having
been granted all when obtaining nothing.
The story is told at Washington of Mass.
achusetts Congressman of the opposite
party who besought the Presidents inhu.
ence on behalf of a constituent seeking
position in one of the departments. He
was treated 80 gracionsly and considerable
ly that he left the White House under the
notion that he had fully succeeded in oh.
tanning what he wanted. But on recover
ing his wits he found that he had only
been referred to department officer, with
whom he knew he could do nothing.
Even Senator Ben Tilman, Of South Caro-
lima, in his rough and rugged hostility to
all that the President represents, came
away from the White House some time
ago so melted by his treatment there that
he called the newspaper correspondents
around him and delivered eulogy on
Mckinley.
Consider such a man presiding over the
vast patronage of the national Govern.
ment, never so vast as now, and behold
him sending away twenty applicants for
one office, each one of the disappointed
nineteen as well satisfied as the actual pos
SCISSOR, if not under the impression of hold.
ing the place himself. Why, remarked an
observer of the situation at the capital the
Other day, the opposition might as well
throw up its hands; for this man, with
from $780, geo 10 100000 places at lis dis
posal, can stay here as long as lie wants
to.

Relief for Porto Rico.

The necessity for prompt action on
President McKinley's recommendation for
the relief of Porto Rico becomes Jaily
more apparent in the light of official state.

Never in its history has Porto Rico bow.
ed under such acumulative mass of trouble
as has fallen to her lot within the past two
years First the occupation Of the Ameri-
cans, which naturally unsettled financial
and commercial conditions that had exist
ed for a century; then the cyclone which
devasted its plantations and ruined its
farmers, great and small, and, lastly, the
failure of Congress 10 afford relief, are the
principal elements in her weight of wo.
General Davis, the military governor of
Porto Rico, has repeatedly and clearly set
forth the appalling conditions, financial
and physical, which environ the people.
He has urged relief, and his latest request,
six months and more after the cyclone has
wrought, is for authority and money to
put the heaps of $4,000 families to work
for at least three months to prevent con-
tinued distress and famine.
As has been clearly set forth in the des-
patches of our Washington correspondent,
the policy of the Administration and the
efforts of the friends of Porto Rico in Con.
rress have been held up and threatened
by individuals and interests whose sole
object is the selfish advantages to be
achieved by such action. And in the
meantime ruin without relief faces both
planter and peasant in this territory,
which by all the laws Of humanity and
sovereignty we are bound 10 protect and
'oster.

BOOK SCORCHERS.
A Bit of Sensible Advice to Young
Folk ON the Subject of
-. Reading.

Those of our young readers who
know how much wholesome fun and
profit there may be in sensible bicycle
riding are also aware that there is a
,lass of riders known by the slang
name of "scorchers." Frank r. Stock
ton recently applied the word to those
readers whose idea of literary accom-
plishment is to run through as many
books as possible in as little time as
may be, and to keep up this task as
long as they can, says St. Nicholas.
There is no truth in the report that
the sultan of Turkey OF any other
potentate has offered purse of gold
pieces and priceless ruby ring to
the boy or girl who shall read the
most books in the shortest time, and
with the least idea of what they con-
tain. Neither has any university or
other learned institution given notice
that it will present to such misled
young. people the degree OF b. S.
Book Scorcher." The real B. S. de-
gree is given for requirements OF
different sort and means bachelor OF
science. as you know.
The pages of a good book should
be considered as ore. from gold mine
to be carefully examined until every
little nugget is found and secured.

where notes about hosts and hostesses

in those of public health in general,

adulterated, coffee cups cold"
Mrs. C.-Seryes tepid coffee, in cups
