REFUSING THE PRESIDENCY.

During the convention at Chicago I
was notified by men high in authority
that, in case there Should be deadlock
as between the two strong candidates.
Arthur and Blaine, my name would sure
" be used whether [ consented or not.
Il may be eccentric, but 1 think [ am
not fool, an ass, to be used by others
at their Will, and l simply conflded to a
friend, IN position to act, that they had
better not make too free use of my
name, as I had an old-fashioned idea of
freedom and the right of every man to
shape his own destiny; that I was not in
the habit Of calling a council Of war to
throw upon it the responsibility, but had
already decided for myself and advised
the convention that if it used my name
without my consent l might answer in
terms which would damage it as we'll as
myself. OF course my name was dropped
and Blaine was nominated

There is more even than this in such
an attitude 1t is essentially the attituGs
OF an American man who nay be regard
ed as product worthy cf free political
and civil institutions. To be the ruler Of
a great nation, whatever charms it
might have for him. is not to be thought
of, save as the expression of his own free
untrammeled desire. The majesty Of such
g position presents itself to him only
through his thought of gain that would
come to the country through his exercise
of its powers and privileges: and he will
submit to no man or set Of men forcing
him even to such an cminence, save as the
result of his own free will and dispost-

American Soldier, Praised.


 The behavior of the American sol- diers in the far east has attracted at- tention in all parts of the world. So recently as just before the outbreak of the Transvaal war the Daily Mail of Grahamstown, Cape Colony, In an ap- preciatiye editorial on "The American Troops iu Manila said: "One lesson taught by the struggle in the Philip pine archipelago is the amazing forti- tude of the American troops. Prac- tically every man in the volunteer forces has been under fire almost con- tinueusly since Feb. 1. and in addition to constant fighting has never had a moments freedom from anxiety as to possible maneuvers of skulking, willy foes, who know every inch of the coun- try and know how to take advantage of it's potentialities. The lines have been so long that it has been neces7 sary to keep every regiment to the front. The regulars have had almost the same experience but not quite so much of it.
