PRESIDENT McIxINLEY's CHARAC.
TER

Some Of the Washington correspondents
are now engaged in giving a view of
the Presidents character that is entirely
different from that quite generally enter
tanned by people in all parts OF the coun-
try. 1t has not been very long since
these same correspondents were saying
that the President was a good man, but
weak-that he had no backbone. Particu-
larly was this view impressed on the
country about the time the President
changed his Porto Rican policy. AS a
matter of fact, the President IS so amia-
BILE, so pleasant to everybody with whom
he comes in contact that it is but natural
that the opinion should prevail that he Is
easily Influenced by the leaders of his
party.
But different view is beginning to pre-
vail. 1t is that beneath his kindly smile
and affabe manner is a will as strong as
steel, and that he never fails to have his
own way. He does not accomplish his
purposes by a show OF frmness, 10y
buster or threats, but by kindness. by
hattery and by little courtesies which are
highly appreciated by both Senators and
Representatives.
This is a new view OF the character
Of the President, but is II not the true
one? 1t is undoubtedly the fact that Con-
gress has conferred on him more author
fly than was ever enjoyed by any other
President He has, in fact, more power
than any king or emperor. unless 1t be
the Car. His Will IN the Philippines is
practically supreme. Is 81 because Con-
| gress thought him a weak man that II
! gave him such vast power, or was Il be-
cause it had confidence IN him? IL must
| have been for the latter reason, because
/ Congress knew 81 was dangerous 10 con-
/ fer power on a weak man-ihe danger be-
ing IN the possibility OF his being used by
! INSCRIPTIONS men.
! 10 Is said that the character OF the
! President Is tho subject Of very frequent
/ discussion by tho Senators. Some Of them
/ consider him weak. Others regard him as
| remarkably firm Do The positions which

one huge, continuous joke entered the

with an expression of extreme radiance
overspreading his countenance, says the
Washington Star The clerks and 9TH

perience had taught them that the afore-
said lawyer would say something of an
entertaining character.
Gather round boys" he said. ''I have
a dandy for you this morning. It's the
best, so far, of the year 1901"
The speaker paused. The others 81.
lently waited for what was coming
Now listen carefully" resumed the
lawyer, land note the beauty of the con-
nection between the three sections of this
little conundrum. Here 1t is: 'If the post.
master should visit the zoo, and while
there be eaten by the wild animals, what
o'clock would it be?"
There was another pause. Finally the
clerk in charge of the dockets ventures
the answer: ut would be all day Will

Wrong, entirely wrong" commented
the lawyer. Il didn't ask what time;
asked what o'clock would 1t be-"

She Moved.

The clever characterization of Horace
Greeley in a recent popular novel has
called forth many anecdotes and reminis-
cences of that famous editor of the benig-
nant soul and countenance. and familiar
chin whiskers, says the Youths Com
panion. A neighbor of the Greeley fam
lily in New York contributes one quaint
little scrap to the collection.
Mrs. Greeley had, at one time, become
much dissatisfied with the house in which
they were living. There really were many
objections to 1t, and one day she poured
them all forth In long and rather ex-
cited complaint TO Mr.. Greeley. He heard
her out with undisturbed tranquility, and
when she had quite finished said simply:
oven. ma. move"
She took him az his word. AS he evil
IDENTIFY did not care TO be consulted, con-
suited he was not. For several days there
was more or less confusion in the house
as the packing went on, ana room after
room was dismantled, but the living
rooms were left till the last, and Mr..
Greeley did not even notice It.
AZ length, one evening he came home
and found no home 10 come 10. The
house was dark and empty. lie stood for
few moments on the doorstep IN ami
able bewlldermont: then. deciding what
10 do, he began calling upon the nelgh-
boris IN turn, inquiring OF each, with
an appealing smile ana unrufiied sweet.

A Great Mans Sneeze.

Senator Depew is suffering with what
the children call the "sneezums" And
the dignity of the Senate is very much
ruffied thereby, says the Washington
Post.
When Senator Depew suddenly grows
very red in the face and begins to twist
himself like contortionist, you may
know the sneeze is coming. His cheeks
initiate, the top of his head assumes a
crimson hue, there is a strenuous wiggle
of his chest, a blush of embarra ssment
spreads over his face. When these sig
nails appear, as certain in their result
as a red flag before train, look out for
the explosion.
But the most remarkable thing is that
the sneeZe, when it does come after all
these manifestations, is such little tiny
bit of a sneeze that the Senators laugh.
There isn't as much noise about it as the
popping of champagne cork.

BIG SALARIES.

In the last Congress there were bills
introduced to raise the salaries of the
justices of the United States Supreme
Court and of all of the other United
States courts. also the salaries OF sena-
tors and representatives Il is not i'm
probable that in this Congress there will
be bills to increase the salaries of the
President. Vice President and cabinet Of
hcers, and If they pass there will doubt
less be movement to increase the saIa-
ries of pretty nearly all Federal Office
holders.
1t is not to be wondered at that Judges
and congressman become dissatisfied with
their comparatively small salaries in
these days of big salaries 1t has not been
| so very long since salary of $4,000
year was spoken of with amazement, and
when a life insurance company paid its
president a salary OF $4,000 it was
thought by some that the company was
in the hands of lunatics. But if recent
reports are to be credited the latter
amount is a small salary in comparison
with some OF the salaries that are now
paid.
1t has been stated several times re-
Gently. and not contradicted, that the SAL
airy of the president of the billion dollar
steel trust is $4,000 a year, and now it
is announced that Mr.. G. w. Perkins has
been taken in as a partner of J. p Nor
gan & Co., and that he is to have a SAL
airy of 100000 a year.
1t is expected of course that the men
| who get these enormous salaries will
earn them. There are opportunities for
big financial enterprises of one kind and
another, and if they are utilized properly
It is an easy matter to make hundreds of
thousands Of dollars in a single deal. It
is said that Mr.. Morgan made more chan
100000 recently in the deal by which
the anthracite coal mines were CONSOLE
dated, and there is every reason to be-
lieve that he made many millions in the
formation of the great steel trust II Mr..
Perkins can make such deals he is worth
much more than salary of 100000.

One incident must dwell upon because
it was the most beautiful that has hap
pened in my career, writes Nine. Melba
in the Saturday Evening Post. A bit of
poety was written about it. 1 was sing
ing one snowy evening at the Academy of
Music in Philadelphia. When 1 started
to cross the pavement to my carriage
after the performance my arms were full
of roses that had been sent to me during
the opera. A white-haired woman stepped
forward and said: God bless your beau
tiful heart. I have been waiting in the
snow for you to come out. Your voice
is the most beautiful thing in the world.
Will you give me a rose to keep in men,
DRY of it?'
There she stood, white-haired, in the
driving snow, poorly clad in black and
with lines of grief and age scanned on her
face, waiting to tell me that 1 had made
her happy. 1 gave her every flower ]
had. / kissed her on both cheeks and we
cried there together.

| The statement of Russia that her occu-
! patton of Manchuria is only temporary is
not regarded as sincere by England and
the United States. According to the dis
patches from London yesterday there is
a prospect of trouble between the Powers
in regard to that part of the Chinese En-
pire.
Not long ago 1t was the understanding
that all of the efforts of Ii Hung Chang
were directed towards creating a lack of
harmony between the Powers interested
in the trouble in China He thought that
If ne could array one or two OF them
against the others China's chance of get
ting out Of the trouble without much cost
TO herself would be greatly improved.
Was it with this idea that he and other
Chinese statemen entered into negotia-
ria? II so, It is clear that it was not
their intention to turn that province over
to Russia but only to go so far in that
direction as to create dissatisfaction be-
tween Russia and the other Powers. As
Stunning that such was their purpose it is
apparent that they Numbered badly, for
as the situation now presents itself Rus
STA intends to hold on to Manchuria as
permanent possession. If her intention Is
carried out the probability is that the
Chinese Empire will be disrupted If
Russia gets Manchuria, Germany and
each of the other Powers will demand
territory instead of money indemnity.
But from the statements made in the
dispatches England and perhaps the
United States do not intend that Russia
shall have Manchuria. They want the
integrity of the Chinese Empire preserv-
ed. They want a chance to compete for
a share Of the trade of the entire en-
pire The United States do not want any
part of the empire.
1t is believed that Japan will side with
England and the United States, and that
France will act in harmony with Russia.
The position Germany will take is re-
garded as doubtful though it Is thought
that 1T would suit her to have a part of
the Chinese Empire.
Instead of being near its end it IS not
improbable that the trouble in China is
on the point of assuming proportions that
were not dreamed of a few weeks ago.
If the Powers should become involved in
war with each other the conflict would be
a costly one to all the nations involved in
it. 1t is profoundly to be hoped that the
alarm expressed in England over the sit
uation is greatly exaggerated

Holding the sack Came Natural.

p. M. Spencer. vice president of the
Cleveland National Bank, was on the
witness stand in Judge Dissettes Court
the other afternoon, testifying in his suit
for damages against the big Consolidated
Street Railway Company, says the Cleve-
land World. He was being cross-examin-
ed as TO his injury by Attorney Carr of
Kline, Carr, Toiles & Golf. During the
examination Mr. Carr referred to a news
paper clipping which told of Mr.. Spencer
earning so cents by working about a
thrashing machine. 1t caused consider
able mirth when Mr.. Spencer said that he
earned the money by holding the sack for
the wheat to drop into.
That's good business for bank cash
ier," said Judge Dissette.
Yes, it came natural, holding the
sack" replied Mr.. Carr, to which Mr..
Spencer assented with hearty laugh.
