From the London Chronicle.
Capt Kidd. whose name. but not his
adventures, has been appropriated for the
purposes of musical comedy. was un-
doubtedly one of the most original pirates
whose deeds have been recorded in the
pages Of a boys penny awful. For he be
gan his career by being appointed in 1855
by the Earl OF Belmont. the governor or
Massachusetts, Bay. to suppress the pi-
rates who infested the coast. Then dark
rumors reached the government that Kidd
instead of capturing or destroying pirates
was himself pirate. In consequence he
was apprehended when he returned to
Boston I'm 1880, sent over to England. and
after very unfair trial was hanged with
several companions at Execution dock on
May %, 1701.

Too Great a Price.

Early i'm the spring we met again at
Mark Hanna's home adjourning after
luncheon to what he called his den for our
after-luncheon cigars. Gov. Mckinley
started the ball by saying:
"'Well, Mark, did you see Quay and
Plate
Eyes. l did. governor. and you can
have the delegates for both Pennsylvania
and New York on condition.
What is the condition.?
1.-The condition is that YOU make Tom
Plat Secretary of the Treasury. and he
wants the agreement in writing. as he
says he has had an experience with one
President born in Ohio tmeaning Harri-
SOM and does not want another.
Mckinley got up out of his CHI II and
paced the small room several tin IS in
silence. Pursing out his long upper lip.
and blowing the smoke from his cigar. he
said:
There are some things in this world
that come too high, and if l have got to
promise to make Tom Platt Secretary of
the Treasury, and that is the only way
by which | can become President, I will
never reach the White House. Under no
conditions will l promise a cabinet office
to anybody to get votes
Later, Plat threw his strength to
Speaker Reed. and MeKinleys friends
went into the campaign and nominated
him, in spite of Quay and Platt. If you
will look up the report of the convention
you will see that Mckinley had some
votes in the New York and - ennsylvania
delegations. regardless of the opposition of
Quay and Platt.'
