He leaves @ spotless record, and his death will be mourned by a wide circle of friends in Washington.

They seem im- pressed with the notion that in the distri- butica of the federal patronage the old rule force at country mills thet the first to come are the served. They will find out their mistake a little later. A moment's serious reflection would save these men from the folly of their course. It is not necessary for them to be experi- «nced in public business, or familiar with the situation here. to know that at this stage of the game Mr. McKinley cannot in reason charge his mind with their particu- lar aspirations. Not only are there other matters numerous and vastly more impor- tamt, but they take precedence of the distribution of the patronage. The inau- gural ceremonies, the first meetings of the new cabinet, the first message to the extra session of the new Congress, the attention necessary to the business of Congress as it preceeds, all must engage the new Pres- ident before he can in reason be expected to turn to.the matter of rewarding party friends with good places. Why then should any of those friends, however deserving, in prevaiis— first to be » | minute she asked me if I didn’t think her pet bulldog was the handsomest animal in on him now ld expect him to aa their names and faces through a siege well calculated to make him forget while it lasts everything but the business actually in hand? It is not dificult to picture this throng at Canton. Original McKinley men; men claiming to have swung their ward, or ef cr county, or state at a critical junc- ture, either before the St. Louis convention, or later; men armed with petitions carrying the names of thousands of amiable people; men conscious of an aptitude for a particu- lar line of official work, which they de- scribe; big and little bosses and sub-bosses, all touch shoulders in this rush for recog- nition, before the man who must pass upon their claims has had the slightest oppor- tunity to inform himself about what is safely within the possibilities of his own office. For until he assumes the duties of bis office, and has counselled with his Neutenants and the party's leaders from every section of the country, he cannot he iu a situation to say what is best to be done, or upon whom the rewards should properly be bestowed. It will be a great day for this country— and let it be hoped that it may not he far distant—when th> President of the’ United States is in the largest measure relieved of all this pressure, and has the full time necessary to weigh the far greater prob- lems that always confront him. a Ss The Educator's Field. If Mr. Wilson of West Virginia decides to accept the presidency of Washington and Lee University he will enter a field for which he possesses every qualification. His scholarship is ripe, his character, public and private, is attractive, and he repre- sents the sincerity of high and altogether worthy aspirations. Mr. Wilson's success in politics has been marked, and yet it is an eusy matter to associate him with the duties of an edu- cator. In fact he was an educator before he entered politics; so that, properly speak- ing, he is but returning to duties with which he is already familiar. The new place tendered to him is high up in the scale, and affords opportunities of much usefulness. ‘There are many instances where men of Mr. Wilson’s type—men of eloquence and wide reading, and fond of intellectual speculation and progress—have retired from active politics to the quiet of the univer and found pleasure and the amplest com- pensation in the change. Randolph Tucker—to the general regret thought to be now on his death bed—is a recent instance, and Proctor Knott of Kentucky is another. Both achieved distinction in Congress, but both as college professors since have been doing some of their best work. Seth Low, after brilliant work in political office, took up the labors of an educator, and has been pursuing them since with much applause and success. General Garfield was alway divided in his mind as to whether the edu- cator’s field for men of his temperament and talents was not more inviting than the field of the politician; and it is the opinion of some of his nearest friends that had he lived he might have passed from ‘he White House itself to the presidency of some famous seat of learning. Changes like these are heaithful and helpful all around. If the scholar is a wel- come and a desirable man in politics, why should not the statesman be a welcome end a desirable man in scholardom? If the one, by his reading, and the taste and compre- hension which reading and reflection give, brings into the practical field something which improves and elevates the situation there, why may not the other carry into the field where young men are being pre- pared for action a larger service to them by reason of his experience with men cf everyday affairs? It is safe to say, indeed, that young men of ambition and capacity who sit under instruction from men who unite experience in the larger affairs with their learning have every reason to con- gratulate themselves. ———_~+>__ Mrs. Bradley-Martin and her guests could come pretty near vindicating their claims as philanthropists by arranging for a repe- tition of the ball and allowing people of less social prominence to pay to become spectators. It would be a monsier char- itable event. ———__ + += ____—_ So long as there 1s so much objection to King Oscar because he represents a mon- arcny, perhaps it might be arranged to have one of the republics in Central Amer- ica step in and hold the balance cf justice —when not too busy with its revolutions. ———__+eo—____ The Missouri legislature is considering a bill to “terminate flirting with female pas- sergers by railway conductors and brake- men.” A prominent tendency among law- makers of this decade is to place too great a premivm upon originality. ———+ ++ ___ With all this social ambition to give imitations of kings and queens, Liliuoka- lani might be forgiven some vanity over the fact that she is as near the genuine article as we have in this country. —__--+2_____ SHOOTING STARS. “Do you think, professor, that the theory that Mars is inhabited has any practical value?” “Do I think so?” returned the professor. “I know it.

I'm a detective.” “But why am I placed under the scrutiny of the law?” “Well, sir, when you got out at the depot you remarked that you didn’t come here to get any office.
