THE PRESIDENTS TRIP SOUTH

From New Orleans Picayune.
A New York dispatch is to the eff
feet that President Mckinley with his
cabinet officers will leave Washington
about the end of next month on a tril
to California via these southern states
1t goes without saying that. on his way
he will pay a visit to New Orleans.
Apropos of this trip of the presi-
dents. it has been supposed by some
that. as most of the southerners are
democrats and politically opposed to
President Mckinley. the reception he
will meet with in the south will not be
characterized by so much warmth as
that given him in other sections of the
country.
Those who make such an absurd sup
position do not know the south on the
one hand. and do not know the differ
ence between opposition to a man on
political grounds. and opposition to
him on personal or social grounds.
The south has a reputation for kind
itself in an unhrnken record of scores
of years. When a person of McKinley's
character and standing and position as
chief executive of the United States
comes on a visit to the south. it is diff
ficult to imagine any one supposing
that he will be received otherwise than
with the utmost warmth and cordia1ity
An every day visitor is we'll received:
how then shall the first magistrate of
the land be received otherwise than
extremely we'll?
While the papers of the south, the
Times Democrat among them. have lee
tured the president. it has been on po-
litical grounds and political grounds
alone. Personally and socially he has
been as much respected in the demo
cratic south as he has been in the re-
publican north. And when he comes
among us in his personal capacity and
his capacity of president of the United
States. there are neither persons nor
papers anywhere who will give him a
heartier and more genuine wlcome
than we of the south.
Mckinley is president not of any one
part or section of the country. but of
the whole country; and when he comes
here ne will come as our president, and
We shall acclaim him accordingly. Not
a syllable of politics will be lisped ad-
verse to the president from the hour
he steps on this side of Mason and Dix
on's line until he has gone with the
setting sun out of our sight A true
southern welcome will precede. will ac-

The Herald is trying to print all
phases of the controversy about the
condition of President Diaz. trying to
ascertain the truth from whatever
sources it may be obtainable. and try
| ing to sift out obviously biased opin-
ions. In such a matter. where there is
admittedly a mass of Misrepresentation
and suppression of the facts for pur-
pose, it is best to leave readers to
form their own conclusions. The Her
aid gives it's authority for the state
ments published, and is disposed to let
them stand for what they are worth.
The Herald proceeds upon the belief
that all is not right with the president.
He has not been in good physical
some say mental-condition for some
time, and the conflicting rumors hav-
ing to do with his incapacity for af-
fairs have a foundation of truth. Just
as there Is more or less warping of the
truth by enemies of the president for
political motives, just SO it is fair to

THR MANNED LION AND
THE MENAGERIE-AT-LA

1t is no surprise to learn that Lon
don anticipates the early retirement
of Salisbury from the premiership and
the ministry of foreign affairs. Sails
bury was special protege of Victoria.
He has not for years stood well with
the country at large, and his conduct
during the African complications and
later in China has been far from sat
isfactory, even to his own party.
For the first time in a long period
England has, in the Chinese negotia-
tions, taken a back seat. She has, di-
Dramatically, been the sport of Russia
and Germany, and even the United
States has more than one dictated to
England what she should do. The deep
down truth of it all may lie less in Sal
isbury's incapacity than in England S
recognition of the extreme weakness
of her position while she is engaged
in war in South Africa.
1t is a time for intrigue and plots
against the ministry and the govern
ment itself, and the element of unrest
that is never wanting has been ASST
duously trying to stir up trouble in
Canada and other colonies. The news
papers of England have latterly adopt
ed a new tone in discussing the for
eign affairs of the empire. Most of the
old swagger and buster has vanished.
and the leading newspapers of the
metropolis boldly proclaim England S
weakness, in men, ships, money. and
primary resources. and the absolute
impossibility OF going to war with Rus
STA for any cause.
In the dispatches yesterday it was
told how the home government had
given orders to the British forces in
the field not to assume the aggressive
in the dispute with Russia, and even to
permit the seizure by Russia of the
property in dispute. rather than pre-
cipitate trouble. However laudable
such an attitude may be from a moral
and Christian standpoint, it is a far
when Johnny Bull stood up and barred
his arm for a fight whenever the 9TH
err fellow blew the sugar off his bun.
Todays dispatches show more of the
old time spirit and it is question
which is nearer the truth.
1t is not likely that there will be
war just yet in China. The powers are
not ready for it, unless it may be said
that all the powers are ready for il
but England. and as for England-the
other powers are ready for her. 1t is

What would happen to the United

1t is certain that we would not take up

Albert Lee is the author of many
Semi-historical novels setting his
scenes in the European courts and fill
ing the pages with adventure. danger

are always good stories too.
This one is built around young man
who does things and is clever with his
weapons. The necessary villainy is
furnished by the title role, played by
Silent imports to reign over the Meth
erlands. Also the Inquisition and a
skulking scoundrel play minor parts
in giving the young man hard road to
travel. He is mainly interested in po-
litics. but has a subsidiary love af-
fair with an ornamental young woman
whom the duke wants. Naturally

everything eliminates happily.
