mankind generally and worked disaster
to stock of all kinds. Many persons in
this neighborhood lost a number OF
lambs, and old cattle succumbed to the
cold. Usually at this season the fisher
men have all their nets mended and put
in place. Thus far nothing OF this kind
has been done, and the prospect for
early fishing is at an end. But doubt

Following the natural bent Of his mind
he devoted himself to questions OF finance
and revenue. to the essentials of the ma
tional housekeeping He took high rank
I'm the house from the beginning His
readiness In debate. his mastery OF every
subject ne handled. the bright and ami
able light he shed about him and, above
all. the unfaiiing courtesy and good will
with which he treated friend and foe alike
-one OF the surest signatures OF a nature
born to great destines-made his service
in the house a pathway OF unbroken sue
cess and brought him at last to the all i'm
portant post Of chairman of ways and
means and leader of the majority OF the
famous revenue act which In that ca
pacity he framed and carried through con-
gress II Is not my purpose here and now
to speak The embers OF the controversy
I'm the midst of which that law had its
troubled being are yet too warm TO be
handled on a day like this. ! may only
say that II was never sufficiently tested
to prove the praises Of its friends or the
criticism Of its opponents. After brief
existence IL passed away, for time. In
the storm that swept the Republicans out
Of power Mckinley also passed through
q brief zone Of shadow. his congressional
district having been rearranged for that
purpose by hostile legislature.
Some one has said II Is easy 10 love our
enemies: they help us so much more than
our friends The people whose malevo-
lent skill had turned Mckinley out OF
congress deserved well Of him and of the
republic. Never was Nemesis more swift
and energetic The Republicans of Ohio
we're saved the trouble of choosing gov
ernor: the other side had chosen one for
them A year after Mckinley left con-
gress he was made governor of Ohio. and
two years later he was reelected. each
time by majorities unhoped for and over
whelming. lie came to fill a space in the
public eye which obscured a great portion
OF the field OF vision. In two national con-
ventions the presidency seemed within his
reach but he had gone there I'm the in
terest of others and his honor forbade
any daIIiance with temptation. So his
nay was nay, delivered with tone and
gesture there was no denying His hour
was not yet come.
THE PATH TO THE WHITE HOUSE.
There was however. no long delay. He
became from year 10 year the most prom
inent politician and orator in the coun-
ny. Paesionately devoted to the princi-
ples OF his party. he was always ready TO
DO anything. to go anywhere, to proclaim
its ideas and to support its candidates.
His face and his voice became familiar to
millions Of our people, and wherever they
were seen and heard men became MS par
tisans His face was cast in classic
mold You see faces like II In antique
