PRAISE FOR THE PRESIDENT.

Senator w olcott. in accepting the tenn
porary craftsmanship of the Republican
National Convention, delivered a speech
that was as full Of fulsome praise of the
President and the Republican party as
it could well be- 1t was expected, of
course, that the Senator would defend
the President and his party in the re-
spects in which they needed defending,
and it was expected that he would uphold
the course of the administration and the
Republican majority of Congress, but it
is doubtful if even the most partisan of
the Republicans expected that the Sena-
tor would take the position practically
that the President had made no mistakes
since he entered the White House, and
that the Republican party, during the last
four years, had merited nothing but praise
from the people.
1t is probable that in the minds of the
great majority of those who listened to
the Senator's speech there were specula-
tons as TO whether the Republican party
was going to explain away the immense
postal frauds in Cuba, the wasteful ex-
travagance with which the public money
of Cuba had been spent and the vast
appropriations by Congress at the session
that has just expired. 1t was easy
enough, of course for Senator Wolcott
to make out good case for the Presi-
den4 and the Republican party before a
friendly assembly. but the Republican cam
paign speakers will not have an easy time
of it. There will be many questions put
to them which they will not be able to
answer to the satisfaction of themselves
or their audiences.
According 20 Senator Wolcott, Mr.. Nc
Kinley is the greatest President the
country has had in a generation. He
doubtless. is a kind-hearted man, but If
he is not a weak one. his fellow citizens
do him a great injustice. II he pos
sessed the strength of will of Mr.. Cleve-
land, there would have been no Cuban
scandals. because the politicians would
not have been permitted to make The ap-
pointments, and there would have been
no scandal connected with the Porto Rican
tariff question because policy that had
been adopted from principle would not
have been changed 20 suit party expedi-
ency Senator Wolcott was eloquent, but
not convincing

THE CHATHAM ACADEMY M
PROVEMENT.

The Chatham Academy trustees are of
the opinion apparently that as great prog
ress as possible has been made in the work
of rebuilding the part of the academy that
was destroyed by fire No doubt the trus-
tees have had a number of obstacles %
overcome. bue the community is beginning
TO show a little impotence at the pr, S.
pect that the building will not be ready
to be occupied at the beginning of the
next school year. AS great as the trus-
tees think the obstacles are with which
they have to contend, the teachers in the
public schools, particularly those who
have to teach in the afternoons, are of the
opinion that the difficulties with which
they are contending are far greater than
any the trustees have encountered, or
are likely to encounter; and parents whose
children are among the afternoon pupils
are wondering whether or not the present
unsatisfactory school conditions are likely
10 continue into another year.
1t has been several months since the
fire in the academy, and nothing has yet
been done towards clearing the ground for
the proposed Improvement There have
been some differences about the plans
and these differences have been probably
the cause of the delay. But is it not pos
sible to push along the improvement lit
tie faster? The building ought to be rea ly
for occupation by the beginning of the
next school year. If it is not, pupils,
teachers and parents win be greatly dis

Her Unsuccessful Experiment.

My smoking has always been a sore
point with my wife, who never lets a
chance slip by to try and talk me out of
the habit" said Brown, according to the
Detroit Free Press Now, l enjoy a
good cigar and see no use in giving up
something that affords me pleasure. The
other day while l was rummaging around
IN a cupboard ran across a box of al
legged tobacco cure 1t could be put so
it said on the lid, in the coffee of the one
that il was ended for, and he would be
cured of the habit without knowing how
Ia was done.
Il saw at once what Mrs. Brown was
up TO, and resolved to get even with her
The contents looked as much like sugar
as anything 50 I threw il out and re-
filled the box from the sugar bowl.
That evening from he unusual sweet
ness of my coffee l realized that she had
begun TO dope me. Finishing my dinner,
pushed back in my chair and said:
It is strange, my dear, but 1 haven't
the slightest desire 10 smoke a cigar
saw her beam at this, and then l con-
tinued: But instead | have a desire 10
smoke q cigarette
You have what?' she shrieked. fcS
she considers it sure death to smoke the
little rolls.
a desire to smoke a cigarette" said
I. calmly I shall have TO so over to the
corner store and get a package
Leaving her gasping for breath, l went
over and bought a package and smoked
the miserable little things for the rest OF
the evening, while she wildly begged me
to smoke cigar or anything else but ci-
garettes.
For three days my wife kept putting
her supposed dopein my coffee and l kept
smoking, continually remarking that il
was strange that l no longer cared for a
cigar, but could not smoke enough cigar
cites.
Finally she broke down and confessed
what She had been doing. After frighten-
ing her by pretending that she had fixel
the cigarette habit on me for life, we COM
promised by my agreeing to give them up
and she to refrain from saying anything
more about my smoking cigars.
The agenr that sold her the dope is
going to call soon to get a recommenda-
ton from my wife. He'll get ii. He'll get
some hing else, too"

GOLD SHIPMENTS.

Considerable gold was shipped to Eu-
rope last week, and several millions of
dollars in gold have been shipped this
week. 1t is the understanding apparently
among New York bankers that at least
Sl5000,000 will be sent abroad before the
shipments cease. This movement of gold
to Europe on the eve of a presidential
campaign causes no uneasiness in money
centers.
1t will be recalled that when the ship
ments of gold began in 1896 there was a
feeling of uneasiness throughout the en-
tire country. New York bankers sub
scrbed a large part of their gold holdings
to asst the United States treasury There
was apprehension that the treasury would
not be able to meet the demands upon it
for gold. 1t was necessary that the credit
of the government should be maintained.
The reason that gold shipments at this
time cause no alarm is that this coun-
try is not indebted to Europe, and the
shipments could be stopped at once if it
were thought advisable to stop them. In
1896 1t was different. Then we owed Eu-
rope a large debt, and a demand for gold
had to be met. Since then there has been
a most remarkable increase in our exports
| an increase so great that Europe owes
| us money. 1t is estimated that for the
present fiscal year our exports will exceed
our imports by at least $500 100000.
Our bankers are sending gold to Europe
now because it pays them to do so They
can get better returns there for It than in
this country. Besides, Europe has a real
need for it at this time, and can afford to
pay well for II.
The United States are now well supplied
with gold Their stock is large. and is
rapidly increasing. The ablest hnanciers
are of the opinion that 1t will be long
time before there viii be gold famine in
this country again. With the stock Of the
metal we now have on hand we can send
vast sums to Europe ana bring large
amounts to this country without causing
uneasiness or exciting any great amount
of comment.

He got his friend the lawyer to present
his name for delegate TO one of the big
conventions, says the Lewiston Journal.
Give me a good sendoff," said he to
his friend. You know what to say. of
course, and put it on strong. 1 can stand
it. I've found out thai unless things are
put on strong in these days the crowd
don't hook on in good shape"
So the lawyer arose at the proper time
and he put it on strong" And his pero-
ration went something like this:
Gen l7men, the man whom l present to
your attention to-day has been bred and
reared in the sacred associations of that
old town; he has imbibed the traditions
of the honor and integrity aud good ciu-
zenship that have come down there from
faIher to son, and those lessons of youth
and manhood have followed him into all
his walks of life. And to-day, gentlemen,
he stands before you as one of the most
striking types of the genus homo that
you can find in Name
Well, the man was nominated, but
Just as soon as the convention adjourn
ed the candidate came hurrying over to
where his friend the lawyer was strug-
Cling into his coat.
What sort of a throw down are you
trying to give me anyhow" he cried
That's a nice way to use a friend. Jok-
ing is all right among friends over a
quart of Mt. Vernon or something of the
KIND, but it dent go on the floor of a
convention, not for a minute"
What are you trying to get through
you?" asked the lawyer
m calling you down, that's what 1
am doing"
For heavens sake! What for?"
For standing up there, cuss We, and
calling me genuine hobo. Don't you
work any more gags of that kind on me"

ruu Novry powrn DISCUSSED.

/ In his baccalsureate sermon TO the
senior class at Harvard University last
/ Sunday, Bishop Potter of New York dis
cussed at considerable length the money
power In some of the dispatches it was
said he defended trusts. He did not de-
fend them. but he said that great good
had come from combinations of capital,
and that such combinations were neces-
sary TO existing conditions. We must
remember. he said that an underlying
principle in our American social order
is THE greatest good to the greatest num-
ber." lie declared that combinations Of
capital have in countless instances re
suited in the substantial betterment of
great majority of people. But. in saying
this, he did not intend to defend trusts,
because in another part of his sermon,
he declared that combinations of wealth
used in the wrong direction were the
great evil of cur modern civilization"
He expressed the opinion that this evil
could not be cured by legislation, but he
did not say how it could be cured. The
inference from what he said was that the
trust evil would have to be left to work
its own cure. The people do not agree
with The Bishop that legislation cannot
lessen the trust evil. 1t is evident that
it is their intention to see what can be
done by means of legislation.
The people understand very well that
combinations of capital are necessary to
carry on the great undertakings of the
present age, and they have no objection
to them They know also that such COM
binations are likely to destroy minor en-
terprises and business undertakings
What they object to is the combination
OF capital that undertakes to monopolize
a business or an industry for the purpose
of eXacting a profit that is unreasonable
The ice trust in New York City is the
kind Of combination TO which the people
object, and which they mean to destroy
This ice company got control of the ice
supply of the city and then doubled the
price of ice.
The people are not making war on COM
binations of capital that are employed in
legitimate business. They are making war
on the combinations that are engaged in
robbing the public under the cover of law
