There is considerable op-
position, even among repub,
lican members of congress, to
the acceptance of Carnegie's
$1O,00O,0O0 gift. They take
the position, and correctlK;
too, that an acceptance of
the gift would put congress
under obligations to the null
timillionaire and it would
have a great influence on
members when legislation
would come up favorable to
him. The proposed gift is
ostensibly for educational
advancement and scientific
research yet there is a hidden
n Gaming and an applied in,
ference in it after all. The
history of capital is that
where it gives once 1t ex.
poets tenfold in return.

The doctors who operat-
ed on President Mckinley
are preparing to present a
monstrous bill to congress
for their services. If con.
gress does its duty in the
matter it will sit down on
such a graft. They made a
botch job of it as they al.
ways do in such cases, and
now to hold up the United
States for an outrageous
amount of money is without
sense or reason. They are
entitled to a reasonable
amount of money for their
services and the Mckinley
estate is amply able to pay
it. If the estate were bank.
rupt, or if Mrs. Mckinley
had even expressed such a de-
sire, there might be some ar.
gument in favor of present.
ing a bill to congress, but ev-
en- then it should be very
small in view Of the failure
the physicians made. We
have no doubt, however, but
that congress will give those
doctors all they ask.

The presidents cabinet is
gradually changing. Post
master Smith has resigned
and Henry G. Payne of Wis

Secretary Gage will also re.
lease his hold on the treas.
ury portfolio and it is
limited that Secretary John
Hay will also cut loose. From
this distance it looks like the
politicians are prying up per-

THE ADVOCATE WINS.

After so long time the Farmers
Advocate has again been admitted to
the mails at pound rates. The postal
department halted long time but they
evidently had their ears to the ground
and heard a rumbling. Assistant
Postmaster General Madden decided
that the Advocates business was regu.
lar and that the law relating to second.
class matter had been complied with.
1t is to be Hoped that this will be the
last attempt to be made to suppress

State Treasurer Grimes is
congratulating himself upon
his refusal to become Snea-
tor Burton's private secre,
tary. He says that private
secretaries are looked upon
with scorn in Washington
society. A private secretary
is not permitted to sit in the
presence of senators and rep.
resentatives and it is consid-
cred a breach of etiquette
for a senator or a congress-
man to introduce his secre-
tary to a fellow legislator.
The man who can not take
a snub gracefully has no
business to accept a secre-
taryship at Washington.

Why People Go to Church.

Opening lines of 500 prize essay on
what Is Public Worship" by Rev. j
5. Boucher, CarIiavOn, Wales:
Some 60 to church just for walk,
Some to stare. to laugh, and talk,
Some 60 there to meet friend,
Some their idle time to spend,
Some for general observation;
Some for private speculation,
Some to seek or find lover,
Some cOurtship to discover.
Some 60 there to use their eyes,
Aud newest fashions to critlcise,
Some to show their own smart dress,
Some their neighbors to assess,
Some to scan robe or bonnet,
Some to price the ribbons on it.
Some to learn the latest news,
That friends at home they may amuse,
Some to gossip false and true.
Safe hid within the sheltering pew.
Some go there to please the squire,
Some his daughter to admire,
Some the parson 20 to fawn;
Some to lounge and some to yawn,
Some to claim the parish doles,
Some for bread and some for Goals,
Some because it's thought genteel;
Some to count their precious zeal.
Some to show how sweet they sing,
Some how sweet their voices ying.
Some the preacher 60 to hear,
His style and voice to praise or jeer;
Some forgiveness to implore;
Some their sins to varnish DER.
SODle to sit and doze and nod,
But few to kneel and worship God.

is THIS ANARCHY
From the Wichita Eagls.l

Some contributor to the
PleasahtOn Enterprise, signing
himself A Republican records
q public protest against the bill
introduced by Congressman
Taylor of Ohio pensioning Mrs.
Mckinley at the rate of SIS 900
per annum. The Door little
woman will not, it is SAID. long
survive her lllustrIous yet kind
and attentive husband. But the
writer. in being great admirer
of Mckinley, and with nothing
in his heart but sympathy for
the despairing widow of that
desolated Canton home, stands
out against the principle of the
proposed measure as q great
abuse, as a progenitOr of rOyai-
ty, with no anchor in justice,
not being prompted by graft
tude or Unsuitable in any sense,
to say nothing Of its want OF re.
Spectability in that 1t presup-
poses sOrdid greed In the reclp-
lent. The protest throughout Is
rigorous and able, in which he
expresses the hope that Mrs.
Mckinley, having more money
than she can use. will prove
herself possessed of a nobleness
worthy her lamented husbands
love, by spurning the sordid Of
fering as being un-American,
un-Christian and uDjust-un-
just to the widows of soldiers
all over this land, many of
them punched with cold and
snriveled by perjury. who would
be gladdened by the pittance of
$500 per month pension.
The writer closes with this tell
ing paragraph:
Mckinley died without an
enemy. The widow is loved In
the reverence the nation has
for his memory. He left more
ample fortune than nine hun
dred and ninety-nine out of ev-
cry thousand of American citi-
Zens leave. 1t is all devoted to
her care and comfort. 1t is all
and more than she wishes to or
can enjoy. So there is no need
for the generosity of this meas
ure; and it's impudent prefer
ment is graceless insult to no.

OPERA OF PATIENCE.
Home Talent Scores a Decided Hit
with the Public.

Last evening the opera house look
ed gay indeed with the fashionably
dressed audience assembled to wit.
ness the performance of Patience.
From the front it was not unlike big
flower garden in the summer time
when the posies are in bloom.
In other ways the occasion was sim
liar to many others. There was the
usual amount of chatter, or "gibble
gable. git" as some one has said
OF course there were the usual tardy
comers who always have the seats
near the wall. Why is it they always
make it point to come late, so that
the rest of the row have to file out
to let them pass? Perhaps, now, it's
the fault of the people who sit near
the isle, they come too early.
At any rate, after the orchestra be.
gan to play no one paid much atten-
tion to anything but Patience" We
were all too busy watching the stage
for fear we should miss something
Certainly the company deserve to
be congratulated on the success OF
the production. In the first place 1t
is delightful little opera; in the
second. 1t was presented in way that
brought out its good points and hid
the weak ones; in the third. the addi.
tions in the way of local jokes were
bright and apt as they could be.
A very important feature OF any op-
era is of course the music. An opera
can be utterly ruined by a poor or.
ohesrta, just as picture is spoiled
by an unsuitable background. Last
evening music lovers could not fail to
enjoy the work of the orchestra
Surely sound was never more elo-
quent 1t seemed to sing itself-how
could one help but be merry or sad ?
No wonder the singers "out-Heroded
Herod"
Those of us who enjoy opera have
doubtless often been disappointed in
by the utter lack of knowledge of the
dramatic art exhibited by many good
singers. There is something painful
In such stiff, ungraceful movements
when the ear is delighted by such
sweet sounds. Last evening the move.

ure by picturesque posing. both indi-
vidually and en- masse. No detail
was missing that could add to the
completeness of the picture. Those
in charge of that part of the perform
ance most certainly had an eye train
ed to dramatic effect.
The chorus work was certainly
very fine. 1t was wonderful how so

make so much noise-or rather. mu-
