REIGN or sMA11 HEY.

Attention has been called to the fact
that President Mckinley has a prefer.
ence for men with short names-names
Of one syllable. He has had and has in
his cabinet, Day and Hay Griggs and
Knox, Gage and Gray and Long and
Bliss This may have been a mere coin
cidence, but the no less noticeable fact,
that he has surrounded himself with little
men, men of small caliber, has definite
cause-that is no coincidence Hay is
without doubt the cleverest man in the
cabinet and no one will accuse even him
Of greatness. During the Spanish way
Mckinley allowed his Ohio neigh
Dor, Day, to rattle around in
the chair of state while Ager
was doing his worst to disgrace
the nation with his incompetency in The
war department. Miles was too big for
the two-by-four management of the war,
and shafter was forced to the front to
blunder his way to the end of the chap
ter. Nor did this tendency toward ad-
vaneing little men stop with the end of
the war. Day was made chairman of
the peace commission and multiplied the
transitory plumbers of tne>war by perma-
nent blGnders in making peace
The size of Long can be measured by
his conduct of the navy department. He

A USEFUL CITIZEN.

A big man. very big man. with IL
large head, wide, high forehead broad
between the eyes, heavy jaw covered.
as is the mouth and chin, with closely

UP of South Dakota'S new senator, A. 3.
Kittredge, appointed by Gov Herried to
fill the vacancy incident to the death of
James H. Kyle.
Senator Kittredge is an extraordinary
man-tnat too in a day of the unusual
and among those who themselves are
uncommon. He is essentially self-made.
A native of New Hampshire a graduate
OF Yale in beth collegiate and legal de-
partments, his preparation was distinctly
Eastern. Commencing at Sioux Falls,
S. D., a young man of twenty-four, un-
known, without shadow of influence,
his rise has been equally distinctly West
ern. Today, sixteen years later, he has
established the largest and most re-
munerative law practice in the state of
South Dakota, and attained an accepted
position as the chief organizer of the
Republican party of the state.
Mr.. Kittredge is unaVoidably a politi-
clan. A born organizer, with a. person
ality that inspires the extreme of con-
fidence, even among those differing polit-
ieally, with an intense knowledge Of and
natural ability to- attract and control
men, ne takes his place as a leader in
politics as naturally as he takes seat
at dinner. If anything in human affairs
is inevitable, it is such that he be more
than a lawyer; yet it is as lawyer that
those who know him best will ever know
him.
That Mr. Kittredge mas been an in,
domitable worker goes without saying
No one at forty attains his present po-
sitton, by dfnt of personal energy and
effort alone, without eXpending, and
definitely, an amount of energy that
hopelessly confounds the ordinary man.
That he is a terrific worker now no one
who sees the big man with the square
jaw and the clear eye viii doubt for
moment. To be in his presence is to feel
the desire ito do" That in future he
will be force an infusion of sound
Western ambition and enterprise. into
our national council chamber there is no
question.

A QUESTION OF DUTY.

Harper's Weekly.
What is mans duty towards a dog
lost in the mazes of city streets? One
walked slowly past me the other morning
lifting an appealing eye in pathetic CROP
ing after a friendly glance. The streets
were full of hurrying men, yet nobody
had a word or nod to cheer him against
the loss Of his master. He walked past me
slowly, looked me over with furtiva turn
ings, but kept on his way, affecting not
to be interested. Then he trotted back
and ranged alongside, with hopeful lift
ing of soft brown eyes. 1 sIniled-and
the eyes took on a CLEAN. He moved
step nearer, still preserving a fair show
of dignity l stopped to pat MS head
and then it was all up with him; AWAY
flew dignity and lonesome fear. and he
sat right down and whimpered aud cried
under the friendly touch. It had all
been so lonesome. Then he trotted along
conffdingly trusting mis- new friend hone
full and self-respecting once more. until
we reached the elevated stairway. NV
road lay there, and his-who knows? lie
had been betrayed and turned adrift
again into the hurrying street. Now.
what was my duty in the matter? Should
I have passed him without a word IN Fac
first place?

and Leaves ConstantinOpIe
Until They Are Paid.

CONSTANTINOPLE. Aug. 26.-The
amount of the indemnity which the sui
tan agrees to pay the quays company for
interference with it's rights is 100000
francs The sultan will also pay CO. co.,
francs to Frenchman on account of the
Selling of his lands in Albania. The
quays company renounces for year the
clause in it's concession regarding the
transfer of the quays to Turkey, only. it
is believed, to save appearances for the
sultan.
NJ. Constans, the French ambassador,
after making farewell calls on his col
leagues yesterday, left here today on
board the Vautour for Stamboul. where
he will take the train.
LONDON, Aug. 26-The dispatch from
COnStantinople announcing that the
French ambassador, NJ Constans, left
there today is not understood either iii
London or Paris, though it is not believed
that it means a further difference be-
tween France and Turkey. The SUPPOSE
ton is that NJ. Constans is taking a holi-
day.
PARIS, Aug. 26-Sultan Abdul Hamid's
persistence in procraStinatinS methods
continues to disturb the Turkish relations
with France. His trade giving SatiSfac-
ton in the quays question was taken as
indicating that he would accept the en-
tire French claims, but NJ COnsJans tel
egraphed yesterday that the sultan was
still holding out against the payment of
three Frenchmen, dating back many
years and amounting to several millions
francs, for which Nj. Constans demanded
a settlement, declaring he would leave
Constantinople today until the matter is
settled.
This action, however, only will be
manifestation of dissatisfaction and not
rupture of relations, as the councillor
of the French embassy will take over the
affairs of the embassy and continue the
negotiations. M Constans, ostenSihly,
will leave on vacation. No word has
been received from him yet regarding
todays developments.
