IN JUSTICE TO THE PRESIDENT.

A correspondent of the Chicago
Chronicle, writing from Evanston, Ill,
on the subject of the Presidents elo-
quence, insists that he is tiresome as
an orator because he talks about but
one thing in his speeches. In the
course of his letter this correspondent
says: 1.-The late Gen. Harrison was an
orator. Col. Roosevelt is not such an
orator. He has a single rhetorical
string to play upon. He is eternally
vociferating that we are the greatest
people on earth and we can lick all
creation. That is the effect and sub
stance of every speech he makes and it
gets tiresome."
1t seems to US that this does the Pres
ident injustice. Has he not said some
thing about race suicide and a strenu-
Gus life? He certainly has. Let justice
be done though the heavens fall The
President has attracted more atten-
ton by his remarks on the two topics
to which we call attention than by his
discussion of those which the Evanston
correspondent finds so tiresome.
1t will be admitted of course that Mr..
Roosevelt is the champion speech-mak
ing President. Though he has been in
the White House less than two years,
he has made more speeches than either
Mr.. Cleveland, or Gen. Harrison, or
Mr.. Mckinley did while in the White
House, and from appearances he isn't
by any means tired. The President
may be lacking in judgment. but he
isn't lacking in a desire to make stump
speeches.

Keene,s StumbIing Block.

A young newspaper man, who was
recently sent to interview the most
prominent men in the city with view
to collecting their ideas as to what
had to the greatest extent hindered
them in their careers, says a, contem-
porary, arrived in the presence of
James r. Keene. II haven't time to
be bothered" he said at first.
1--WE just come from Henry Clews, -
said the tired reporter.
"Ah," remarked Mr. Keene, SEEM
ingly interested, land what did he say
was his greatest hindrance TO sue
cess?"
"Well, WE'LL" remarked Mr. Keene
thoughtfully. Then pulling his beard,
he continued: IF Clews has the nerve
to say that you may record my STUN
bling block as-er-lack of it,"

A NEW QUESTION.

n NEW 4LESIIONs
The question which has arisen at
! Richmond, Va, between the govern
ment and a state court, regarding the
! cruiser Galveston, is said to be an en-
! tirely new one. Arrangements are all
! made for launching the cruiser to-
morrow, but an injunction from the
Chancery Court of Virginia directed
to the naval officers having charge Of
the ceremonies prohibiting them from
! tnrefering with the vessel, stands in
the way of carrying out the pro-
| gramme.
The Trigg Shipbuilding Company
has the contract for the construction
of the cruiser. which is more than
half completed. The company failed
recently and a receiver was appointed.
Since the failure the government has
been carrying on the work of con-
structng the vessel. 1t was it's pur-
pose to launch her tomorrow, and
take her to Norfolk at an early, day
to complete her. 1t seems that the
creditors of the Trigg company do not
want the vessel to be taken to Nor
folk. They fear they will lose what
ever interest they have in her. The
Injunction is to prevent her from be-
ing removed from Richmond. The
receiver sets up the plea that the
Trigg company will soon be able to fix
its affairs with its creditors and will
then be in a position to complete its
contract.
The Attorney General has given the
President and the Secretary of the
Navy an opinion TO the effect that the
Chancery Court had no authority TO
issue the injunction, that there is no
authority for tying up the property of
the United States, particularly war
vessels The Secretary of the Navy
asked for authority to use force If an
attempt were made to prevent the
launching of the cruiser tomorrow. He
didn't get it, the Attorney General
taking the position that it would be
the better plan to pursue milder
course in the matter. He said that he
had no doubt the chancery judge
NQuAO ACSNAAA0 AG eASNA0iA NhCh tAN WIS
informed that he had exceeded his
authority.
1t is not yet clear how the matter
will turn out, though it is probable
that there win be no further trouble.
II seems that there are three other
government vessels in private ship
yards that are in the same predica-
ment as the Galveston. The posi-
bility of the contractors becoming
bankrupts before completing their
contracts was not taken into consid-
Grafton by the government when the
contracts were let.
1t is probable that this affair at
Richmond win have the effect of
strengthening the sentiment in favor
of constructing government vessels in
the navy yards 1t will be said that
complications similar to those at Rich
mond might arise at any time in con-
nection with vessels being built in
private yards-even in time of threat
ened war-and therefore to avoid
them the better plan Is to construct
government ships in the governments
navy yards. That would mean, of
course, a very great increase in the
cost of construction, but 1t will be ar
gued that it is better for the govern
ment TO pay more for its ships than
to run the risk of having them locked
up In private shipyards by legal COM
pIications at a time when the need
for them might be urgent.

neneM Snhside.

At a dinner given to a crowd of rail-
road men Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew
was the star speaker. In the course
of his remarks, says the New York
Times, he told story wherein a GER
tain manufacturer, left practically
alone in his factory through a lock-
out, was represented as pointing to
the office clock over his desk and say
ing to his friend:
"There are only two hands in my
office that never strike"
"Whereupon," said the Senator, "the
clock struck two"
After the dinner one of Senator De-
pew's friends came up and congratu-
lated him:
Your speech was great" he said.
THAT story about the clock is a
daisy
The Senator beamed. 81 think II is
pretty good, he said modestly.
About five minutes later another
friend came up who was not so eulo-
CYSTIC.
"Chauncey," he said, 1T think that
story about the clock better every time
1 hear it. 1 think tonight was the
fiftieth time"
"Why, President Newell says that
story is daisy" expostulated Mr.. De-
pew.
The other laughed. you ought to
study botany Chauncey. and you
would learn that daisy is a hardy
annual"
And thereupon the Senator subsidized.

An odd banquet was served in New
York the other day. From the top to
the bottom of the card there was not
a cooked article on the menu. The
first dish was natural SOUP" which
consisted of celery grated into cream.
Then there came nuts and salads and
un-whiskyed egg-nogg. with final
wind-up of fruit juices. 1t is a health
fad, of course. There are people who
will eat almost anything if a health"
brand goes with it. The statement was
made at the banquet that there were
in the city of New York not less than
1000 disciples of 'no-cookery." The
chief dish of the evening was pigno-
las, or pine nuts, which are said to
be ever so much better and more nu-
tritious than beefsteak.

King Peter of Servia has ordered a
Paris jeweler to construct for him a
crown, limiting the cost TO $4,000 francs.
1t seems that Milan and Alexander
were content TO get along without the
head-piece that is supposed to go with
royalty as a badge of station, and
were never actually crowned as kings
of the country. But Peter wants all
of the frills that his exalted station
entities him to have. He has ordered
a cheap crown, to be sure, but 1t VIII
serve him every purpose, and his head
will probably lie just as uneasily in 1t
as if it cost four times the sum.

A remarkable man died in Newburgh,
n. Y, last week. He was David n.
Selleg. a capitalist and manufacturer.
Mr.. Selleg was born blind and never
saw a ray Of light in his life. He
was born poor, too. Yet despite his
great handicap he became a mecnani-
cal genius and inventor. and large
manufacturer of furniture. Many Of
the furniture designs, some of them
beautiful, were worked out in the per-
petual night of his darkened brain.
His sense of touch was so wonderfully
developed that he could detect the
slightest flaw in any article made in
his factory.
