The Duties of the Presidency.

Some of these interviewed by the
newspapers who treated Deweys can
didacy with the most respect criticised
his conception of the presidential Of,
fee as altogether inadequate. His
theory that the duty of President is
merely to execute the laws that Con-
gress enacts is remarkably similar to
the view that Mr.. Grover Cleveland ex-
pressed in his first letter of acceptance
in 1884; but brief experience in the
Presidential Office soon convinced Mr..
Cleveland that very great part of his
business was to have policies and to
urge them. Undoubtedly. Admiral
Dewey's long experience In a highly
disciplined service like the navy has
given him fitness for certain kinds of
executive work But the government
business Of country like ours is so
vast that the executive work comes to
be parceled out among a great number
of high officials. The President him
self succeeds or fails in the executive
part of his work in the ratio of the
wisdom he shows in the selection of
men. The ability 10 exercise wisely
the appointing power usually calls for
long experience in politics and pub
lie office, and wide acquaintance with
men throughout the country. Apart
from the exercise OF the appointing
power, the Presidents chief business
may be said to lie in the making Of de-
cisions relating to vast number of
questions of policy of greater or less
Importance. 1t would therefore seem
highly doubtful whether q high officer,
either of the navy, like Dewey, or CT
the regular army. like Miles, whose life
has been strictly devoted to the SER
vice to which he belongs. would be
prominently fitted to fill the position
of President of the United States, es-
pecially in view of the kind of work
that will fall to the presidential Of

The New Post Office.

When the - Marietta postoffice is
moved to the new location on Putnam
street, insthe st. Clair Building, 1t will.
when fitted up as proposed,b the equal
IL not better than any postoffice in any
city of the size in Ohio. Work Is pro-
crossing rapidly on the st. Clair
Building and 1t is expected that the
room will be ready for the post Office
by July l.
The outfit to be placed in the new
Office will be almost entirely new, the
only articles of furniture to be taken
from the old Office being the canceling
machine, carriers desk and one or two
other pieces that have not seen much
service.
The new room will allow the fitting
up OF q great many mere lock boxes
an ddrawers which will be decided
advantage. as Mr.. Rose informs us that
there Is demand for two hundred
more boxes than can be supplied in the
present quarters.
Although at first there was some Op-
position to removal, many of the op-
ponents of the idea are beginning to
see that the post Office in city like
Marietta Is not much of drawer Of
trade and there is G decidedly strong
sentiment in favor of the change be-
cause Of the better facilities the force
would have for handling the mail and
consequently the better service given
TO the people of Marietta.

MAUDIE OF MAINE.

Maud Mueller-the same old Maud
once mere
Was out engaged in her old time
chore.
But as she raked at the Meadow hay
Shewas all logged out in sumptuous
way.
And all could see as that way they
trod
There was nothing especial the matter
with Maud.
And she had such sassy quirk in her
eye
That the old Judge stepped as he rode
by;
But when through the gate he fain
would pass,
Maud cried. Say. Whiskers, keep off
the grass!"
And she gave him a stony, cold-eyed
stare
That froze him into an ice cake there.
Bue the sunlight flashed on her mar
quise ring
And the blaze thawed out the poor cid
thing.
He allowed he'd reckoned that he'd
propose,
But forgot what he came for when he
froze.
Says Maud: "old man, you give me a
pain,
For a Judge amt paid enough in
Maine.
I'll tell you now, ten dollars a day
Amt sunlight enough to dry my hay"
And the Judge fell dead, but he came
to life
When he heard Maud say she was now
wife.
And he cried, "Tis false-contempt-
it's fraud"
Not en- your life!-'Tis bi2!" said
Maud.
Hes an iceman en- the Kennebec
And this is the year he makes a spec.
For the man with ice is out for
scalps-
Maine ice will be higher than ice in the
Alps.
And as long as the iceman can't be
The iceman's wife is enough for me,
And we've got cinch on the thing.
for say,
While hubby cuts ice, I'll just make
hay"
Oh the saddest words of tongue or
pen
But | won't spring that old grind
again.
