Some Incorporate Temperance.

Washington letter in the Chicago
Journal: "Wine on the White House
Table is a phrase frequently seen in
print lately. 1t appears III connection
with resolutions and manifestoes de-
nouncing the presidents attitude-or
supposed attitude-on the subject of
the army canteen. Certain we'll mean
ing people have taken advantage Of the
presidential campaign to agitate in
favor of prohibition, and in doing so
they have not hesitated to slander the
chief executive.
The idea evidently intended to be con
veyed by the various emanations and
fulminations of these anti-alcohol en-
thusiasts is that William Mckinley is a
wine bibber and an advocate by example
and precept of the use of alcoholic bev.

Indiana has started an endless chain o!
letters urging good people to indulge in

Mr.. Mckinley needs no defence from
this kind of attack. But it seems rather
curious that the most baseless and
malicious slander should be set afioat
not by his political opponents, but by
people who are supposed to be inspired
by lofty and disinterested motives AnG
it is even more remarkable that McKin
ley of all men, and of all presidents
should be singled out for the i'll will o.
these particular reformers; for if they
had scanned the list of presidents from
Washington down in search of one who

they contend no better could be founC

The real estate market is complete
business barometer in every locality
Wherever a prosperous community Is
found there is activity In the sales of
property with II corresponding dull
ness when there is commercial de-
preston
AS n result of the prosperity now
prevailing in Omaha, the owners Of
real estate are not so anxious to sell
as they were six months ago, and pros
pectiye buyers are more numerous.
Every real estate list in the hands of
agents which has not been revised
within 80 days is out of date and the
chances are that the owners would not
accept the stated price for 10 per cent
of the property listed. Every agent re-
ports an increase. and one says that II
offers of the list price have been re-
fused within the last 80 days, Rental
agents state that the demand for me-
dium size cottages and apartments
was never so large. Price cus no fig
ure in the case, All of the small sized
houses are full and the demand Is un-
satisfied. Rents have been advanced
from 3 to 20 per cent on this class OF
houses and the prospect for further
advance is bright.

IA wine or any other intoxicant served on
the White House table On the occa.
sion OF formal banquets at which diplo-
mats are entertained wine has been
served just as napkins or finger bowls
would be provided for guests accustomed
TO them.
In his character OF host the president
knows that 1t is his duty to consider the
pleasure aud comfort of those who &C.
ccpt his hospitality, rather than to at.
tempt to impose upon them any per.
sonal notions as to what it is proper to
eat or drink.
Even on the occasion of these formal
bapquets the president does not drink.
He may go through the form OF touch
ing his lips to the glass but 1t has been
noted time and again by people who
have been present at these affairs that
the contents of his glass never lowered.
1t is not claimed that Mckinley is an
advocate OF the principles of total alb
stinence he does not care for liquor,
and, during all his long political career,
has refrained from indulgence. He be-
lieves he is better without 1t. His
health has always been OF the best, and
he frequently has said to his friends
that he attributes the fact to temperate
habits and good conscience. He is a
great believer in work, and when 1t
comes to the strenuous life" he can
give Teddy Roosevelt post graduate in
struction.
| Whatever he may be as president OF
public man, Mr.. Mckinley in his home
life is not only beyond criticism but he
is beyond praise His devotion to Mrs
Mckinley, the tenderness and care
which places her happiness even befor.
the weightiest affairs of the nation, are
matters too sacred for the gaze of tn,
public. Even though this little home
has been in the White House its privacy
has not been violated.
During other administrations there
has been tittle.tattle and yellow Journals
have exploited the secrets OF scullery
and boudoir But if any prying Ton
has intruded himself into the Mckinley
household he has found his rebuke il
what he saw, and has been discouraged
from further effort in the same direction
Behind the folding doors which cut OF
tbe office from the living apartments
the president becomes the husband ant
the lover, his only thought being fo
the comfort and happiness of his invali'
wife.
Here are the few intimate friends
not the politicians or officials will
whom he has daily intercourse, ant
who are members Of his executive ant
official family. The hospitality is un
affected, the amusements simple, ant
all is imbued with spirit of harmon.
and peace,

of various stripes who are getting, i
not seeking, a cheap notoricty by thei

acter of Mr.. Mckinley. The whites

Constitution and Flag.
[From the HHo Tribune.l

The Advertiser says the doctrine that
the constitution follows the flag is an ex-
plcded democratic fallacy." - Perhaps it
is, though we are inclined to think other
wise but in any ease It strikes us as be
iug hardly theory that should ts ad-
vanced by a republican organ working
for the success of the party. The fact
that the constitution follows the flag
idea is attributed to the democratic party
is more likely TO strengthen that party
than weaken il in the minds of thinking
men. We consider the constitution a
pretty good thing Ii is the citizens sole
protection against misrule and injustice,
and if he hasn't that he is no longer 4
citizen but a subject. We doubt the ad-
visibility and wisdom of introducing the
theory that subjects can exist under a re-
public. Ii is the first step toward the
evolution of the republic into monarchy.
If the United States has by conquest an
nexed people unfit for citizenship it is
her business to make them fit, rather than
open between citizens and non-citizens a
chasm which must ever become deeper
and wider
