novel of Mr.. Evans. Against this ella.
NOR President Mckinley stood firm to
the end. President Roosevelt stood
firm for time, but has at last given way
desiring to promote Mr.. Evans to po-
sition Of greater dignity and emolu-
ment. The Grand Army of the Repub-
lie numbers 26o,5o7 members. The
fact that all of them have votes could
have no influence on a President who
is stanch civilservice reformer. But
the desire to harmonic the party and
to remove causes OF difference and to
see all things working together smooth
ly may have affected the mind of one
who is no: only President but party
leader, and as such naturally desirous
of party success in the coming autumn
elections, and in a more important elec-
ton in the year 1904, when a President
is again to be chosen.

ficials On the island
Owing to frequent complaints receiv-
ed at this office about the irregularities
in the transportation of prisoners, the
following directions regarding such
transportation are hereby brought to
the attention of the Alcaldes so that
they may: by their observance and by
cooperation with the Insular Police,
avoid giving cause for similar complaints
in the future
Prisoners can only be transferred
from one town to another On the regular
days of routes established by the Chief
OF the Insu1ar Police, in accordance
with section 80 of Article XVII of the

On Sunday morning between 7 o'clock
and 10 all the horses in Santuree will
be examined by the Board of Health
veterinarian. The animals will be
brought to station IS, where they will
be carefully examined, and registered.
Those animals found to be suffering
with contagious disease will be order
ed in quarantine. 1t Is the purpose of
the Board to hold these examinations
at regular stated intervals, and in this
manner to hold complete check on
the diseases which are so dangerous to
cattle. It will of course be impossible
to carry these regulations into effect
throughout the island, but at the same
time it can be stated with certainty that
all animals entering San Juan, and
belonging in this district can be kept
free from disease.

Now thus far, there has been no
open breach between the President and
Congress. They have differed on more
points than ore. They are differing
now about Cuba, and though the Rep
ublican majority in the House has yield
ed in part to the wishes of the Presi-
dent, gulf divides them. The Presi-
dents anxiety to avoid a rupture. OF
the appearance of a rupture, with his
own party in Congress may be seen by
his not sending a special message to
Congress on the subject of Cuba. A
special message to Congress of which
the majority are supporters of the Pre-
sident is last resort. 1t implies a ra-
dical difference between them, one that
can only be healed by an appeal to
public opinion. But Mr.. Roosevelt has
used every other form of persuasion in
order to induce the House, or the Rep
ublican majority in the House, to grant
reciprocity to Cuba. He has succeeded
in part and failed in part The Rep
ublicans held five conferences before
they could agree. They finally agreed
to grant 20 per cent reduction in place
of the 50 for which the President asked,
or the 50 which he would have accept
ed as a living compromise. And the
contest is far from over yet.

There is still more personal side to
the question which has more important
that it ought to have. Senators
claim a kind of precedence when they
desire what in Europe would be called
an audience, or, in their own phrase,
when they want to "see the President"
1t is in many cases granted. A, Sena-
tor with really urgent business has
easy access to the President and sees
him privately. If, however, he takes
his stand with the multitude of suitors
who from early morning till lunch time
throng the ante-chalnber, he does not
always fare so well. A President emerg-
ing from what is called his private
room, but is also the Cabinet room, to
make the circuit of this multitude used
to single out the waiting Senators and
hear them first. 1t is said that some of
these distinguished persons-nany of
them are really distinguished-com-
pain that their prior claims are no long
er recognized. They wait their turn.
The President is democrat-in every
thing but the party sense and no res
pecter of persons, although Senators
think he ought to be a respecter of
Senatorial personages, and when he
S not they go away aggrieved. A
slight matter, but slighter matters
have had their effect before now
on the fortunes of Presidents and of
peoples.
In some cases the President has gone
very far indeed in his desire to conci
late both Congress and that outside

sentatives profess themselves the expo

well that he has brought to bear upon
the course of Legislation all the 1egitim-
ate influence of his office when he

wild oats; a young lollipop ribbon clerk
on 81 per and a monopoly on the gall
of the globe-that is the kind of Apol-
los American girls admire and it would

l knock on the mother-in-law who
goes loaded with advice. She is not so
many as some make out, but. like the
bad egg in the dozen, it is tough on the
man who gets her.
l knock on the pessimist. He is an
Ishmaelite and tells disagreeable
truths. The thing to do is to join the

I knock hard on the bum the legiti-
mate offspring of hoodlumism, the
curse of modern civilization. He never
pays taxes, but makes a monthly tour
in search of a soft snap, where wages
are higher. He knows the road to ev-
cry joint and his example artistically

SCOTS at the church, defies good citizen
ship and ruins the community. The
man who will not work heads the ex-

1 knock on the man who knocks on
this magazine. He is an intellectual
dwarf, a parody on manhood, and is in
for a roast in the next issue.
1 knock on the little pothouse politi-
clan who poses to run the whole Elec-
toral College and point out wiser men
their duties. He is a bore and don't
know a fundamental principle from his
funny bone.
1 knock on trying to reform fallen
women by turning them over to the
police a la Parkhurst. Better put
some lucre into the work instead of
supporting missionaries to peddle saw

dentally extend the market for tobac-
CO, snide jewelry and forty-rod bug

I knock on the "philanthropist" who
losses a million or so to some conspic-
uous charity and next day corners a
human necessity. He don't fool God.
l knock on the subjects of puppet
kings and dukes who come to this
country and breed discomfort and an
archy by kicking on the government.
To live in America is to be king.
I knock on the man who gossips. The
guy who tells his troubles to others in
stead of keeping them for home con-
sumption. If he was up to the moral
level of the NANCY coyote or the intel
lectual altitude of an acephalous house
l would give him more space, but he's
too small fry.
l knock on public OSCILLATION. A man
should have some sympathy for by
standers-even if he don't know they
are by. Such offenses are against the
noble in man and the modest in wo-
man. These osculatory demonstrations
of esteem Should be reserved for the
holy of holes and not be permitted in

bourne where all faces stand ajar In
everlasting singing.

Cincinnati, Aug. 24.-The Cincinnatis
and Pittsburgs broke even in the
double-header here to-day. The
former lost the first through their
many errors at critical stages.
The largest crowd that ever attended
a ball game at Cincinnati was on the
field, there being nearly $4,000 people.
The crowds surged on the field so that
the ground rule calling for only two
bases when a ball was hit into the
crowd had to be made. Philippi pitch
ed good ball in the first up to the sixth
inning, when the errors confused him.
In the second game the Cincinnati
team landed on Cushman for nine hits
in the third inning and this, combined
with three bases on balls, gave them
a good majority. The game was called
in the seventh on account of the Pitts
burg team having to catch a train.
