Mr.. NJ. F. Tighe, who, next to Presi
dent Shaffer, is the most prominent
man in the strike of the steel and tir
workers, in speaking on Saturday Of
the esteem in which the toilers of the
country held President Mckinley, said:
but why do the American people not
do away with the senseless custom OF
crowding up to shake hands with their
| PRESIDENT" 1t may be a senseless
custom. but it is one dear to the heart
of the people. While they know of
course that the President is the serv-
ant OF the people they also recognize
that he is the head of the nation, and
they regard it as a great honor and
privilege to greet him by shaking
hands with him. They don't want
their President to feel that he is too
good to greet them just as he would
greet his most intimate friends or per-
sons of the highest social rank They
don't want the idea to be encouraged
that he is so much above the plain peo-
pie that they cannot approach him.
Ours is a government of the people.
and the people would feel aggrieved if
the right to give a friendly greeting
and hand shake to the man chosen to
be their chief magistrate were denied
them.
And because President Mckinley was
shot while about to shake hands with
the man who tried to assassinate him
1t doesn't follow that other attempts
will be made upon the lives of future
Presidents under similar circumstances
A president is just as likely to be at
tackled in his house, on the streets, in
his carriage, in fact, anywhere, as
when he is shaking hands with the
multitude.
President Lincoln was assassinated
In his box in a theater and President
Garfield was shot in a railway station
while on his way to take a train. The
Misunderstanding custom does not expose a
president to assassination any more
than dozens of other things he does. In
order to avoid assassination altogether
a President would have to shut him
self up from the public altogether, as
the Sultan of Turkey does. That is
something that would not be tolerated
in this country, and something that no
President would do. On yesterday
Vice President Roosevelt was asked by
a colored laborer in the street il he
were not afraid that the Anarchists
would shoot him, and he answered in
dignantly that he was not. He did
not like the imputation conveyed in
the colored mans question, that it was
not advisable for him to be abroad In
the streets alone. When the President
ceases to shake the hands of the peo-
pie on great occasions it will be when
the presidential term is much longer
than four years.

As to Politene.s.

From the Baltimore American.
1t is very irritating,
When lady. hesitating,
Jabs you f1ercely in the waistcoat
with her dainty parasol.
But it's harder when she, turning,
Begs you with repentance yearning
To excuse her. and you have to say.
Don't mention it at ALL"
1t is very aggravating,
Not to say excruciating,
When a heavy individual steps on
your tender toe,
When he asks you for your pardon,
Then your heart and conscience hard
en-,
And you tell him not to worry-but
you never mean it, though.
1t is positively trying.
When the heroine is dying
At the theater-and you are blight
ed by some mammoth hat
To be asked by the fair maiden
If the hat she is arrayed in
Shuts your view off, and you tell her
that it isn't doing that
Yes, but wouldn't it be shocking,
If, all false pretences hooking,
We should simply voice our think
ings on occasions such as these
UNI m-m. 1t would create some wonder
And might be a dreadful blunder,
So we'd better go on lying when they
say Excuse me, please"

EMMA GOLDMAN.

In his confession the assassin Cool
gosz asserts that he was inspired by
Emma Goldman to attempt the life of
the President. Her harangues against
wealth and authority had filled him
with a burning desire to kill a ruler,
and he chose the President as his vic
tim. This is the second attempt at
murder for which this woman is re-
sponsible. What other seeds of anar-
chistic deviltry she has sown remain
to be seen. Three or four years ago,
II win be remembered, an anarchist of
the name of Alexander Berkmann shot
and seriously wounded Mr.. Henry C.
Frick at the Carnegie works in Pitts
burg. 1t was developed at that time
that Berkmann was consorting with
Emma Goldman and that she had in
spired him to commit the crime
1t is within the understanding of the
average person how a man may be
brought TO do foolish or a criminal
thing by a beautiful or brilliant wo-
man. But Emma Golman is neither.
She is said to be just the opposite OF
both. Instead of being personally at
tractive, she is repulsive. Her features
and her manners are coarse, while her
tongue is foul. She is the daughter of
a Russian tailor, who has long since
repudiated her, and is about thirty-five
years old. At the age of seventeen she
came TO this country and shortly there
after married man named Green
baum or Gruenebaum. After living

A writer in the Saturday Evening
Post relates his experience at dinner
recently in company with Artists Wal
den and Whistler, when England was
the topic of conversation. England
said Mr.. Whistler, rules the world
simply because the Englishman takes
what he wants"
We were rapidly losing ourselves in
a fog of politics and natural psychol-
ogy when Mr.. Walden lifted part of
his red mustache and said That's
right all right"
1t was the first time he had spoken
that evening, so we stopped our argu-
ments and listened. Calmly and slowly
he said
IT was down at Cernay last summer
with Faulkner-painting. You know
the little tavern there and the old wo-
man who keeps it. There was an Eng
lishman there who sat next to met at
table. Well, the landlady gave US straw
berries one night for dinner. For dol
lar day that was pretty good The
servant girl passed the Strawberries
round. When it came to the English
mans turn to help himself he emptied
the whole dish of Strawberries into his
plate. So / said to him:
Say, my friend, like Strawberries,
too
" Not so much as do said my Eng
lishman calmly, and went on eating"

Another unhappy international mar
riage has come to light through the
appearance on the stage in New York
Of Miss Maude Roosevelt" in a play
at Wallack's. The lady in question is
none other than the Baroness Mumm

ent German minister to China as sue
cessor to the murdered Won Ketteler
who was formerly connected with the
German embassy in Washington. The
Baroness was formerly Miss Maude

Gen. Sherman was one of the most

In Newton, Mass, the other day a
policeman publicly indorsed the act of
the anarchist who shot the President.
He was called before the authorities,
evidence was taken to substantiate
the fact, and his shield was taken away
and he was discharged from the force
in disgrace. He got his deserts. No
man who sympathizes with the act of
an assassin and publicly commends
his cowardiy crime is fit to wear the
badge and uniform of the police of any
city,

Cabin John Bridge, seven miles from
Washington, is the largest single arch
stone bridge in the world, the arch be-
ing 22o feet. 1t was constructed in 1853,
when Franklin Pierce was President,
and Jefferson Davis, Secretary Of War,
and the engineering was under direc-
ton of Mr.. Davis. A tablet was placed
on the structure containing the names
of the President and Secretary of War
and the date Of the completion of the
bridge. During the Civil War some un-
Known person chiseled the name OF
Mr.. Davis off the tablet. There is now
a movement afoot to have the name
restored, as a simple act of justice long
delayed

The political spectators are already
guessing at what Roosevelt would do
IL, through the unhappy demise of
President Mckinley, he should be call
ed to the executive chair. 1t has been
predicted that one of the first things
to occur would be the deposing of Sem
ator Hanna from his high position of
advisor of the administration. Then
the heads of several cabinet ministers
would fall, and Roosevelt would begin
at once to construct a powerful politi-
cal machine for himself in anticipation
of 1904. All of that is guesswork, to
be sure, but there may be some foun-
dation for it. What the public would
like to know is. how would Senator
Platt figure in the Roosevelt machine?
Platt is the Republican boss of New
York, and Roosevelt would not be apt
to cut loose from him If he could help
it. And the public would just as soon
have Hanna as the adviser of the ad-
ministration as Plat.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New Orleans Picayune Dem.)
says: so far as Colonel Roosevelt
has appeared prominently before the
American people. it has been with a
theatrical sort of display He seems
to be radical in his views and self
assertive in his manner, and appears
to be wholly lacking in conservatism,
and there is widespread anxiety lest
he should initiate his administration
as chief magistrate with radical meas
ures and extreme views, which will
most seriously disturb the conservat-
ism of the existing order, and, apart
from the earnest hope that the Presi-
dent will be spared to serve out his
term, there is the apprehension that
the administration of MIR. Roosevelt
would be sensational and unsettling in
the extreme

dolence sent to the stricken President
and Mrs. Mckinley by Gen, John B.
Gordon, Commander-in-C Chief of the
United Confederate Veterans, was a
model of good tatste. 1t may proper
ly be set off in satisfaction of the
brutal remark of Senator Wellington
that he had nothing good to say of
Mr.. Mckinley, and did not care under
the circumstances to say anything
bad"

says: Sending Prince Chun to Ger
many to humilate himself before the
Emperor. on account of the murder of
the German representative in China,
seemed to be an almost ridiculous end
ing Of a melancholy incident. lust
what to do in such cases almost tests
the limit of wisdom"
The New York Herald qnd.) says:
Death, speedy and sure should be the
penalty of law and justice for attempt
ed assassination, and it should be
promptly melted out not only to the
assassin himself but to all his accom-
plices. The diabolical tragedy at
Buffalo is a warning that it is high
time to call a decisive halt on such in
fernal business"

carefully introduce pennies and
dimes without causing an overflow.
Into one fifty dimes we're put, and
into another thirty-fve pennies with

ordinary bar glasses were used, one
filled to the brim with water, the
other with whisky, aud the object
was to exchange the contents with

without mixing the liquids. After
everybody had given it up, our
treasurer laid . thin piece Of card
board on top of the glass containing
water and suddenly inverted it with
perfect register on top of the glass
Of whisky. He then cautiously
worked the cardboard from between
the glasses until there was a slight
opening near the rim, and imme-
diately the whisky began rising into
he upper vehicle, while the water
kept falling into the lower. The
flow kept up until there was CON-
pete exchange.
