of the principal in the twenty years
the bonds are to run, so the people

The anti-Bryanites with David B.
Hill of New York as the principal
director and advisor are quietly at
work all over the Hast and central
West organizing against Bryanism,
and are meeting with such marked
success that Bryan and his lieuten-
ants are much alarmed.
Mrs. McKinley has been very
ill in San Francisco for a week
past and at times her life was dis-
paired of, but she rallied and is
now much better and her physicians
think that within a week she will j
be able to make the trip back to
Washington. On account of his
wife's illness President McKinley
has declared off all his dates for
the return trip across the country

travel, accompany his wife direcrly

consider gold so dangerous an ar-
ticle as he did a few years ago.
An interesting feature of the
trade statistics is found in the im-
ports and exports of gold and sil-
ver. Imports exceed exports of
gold to the value of $23,218,000 for
the ten months, while exports of

bis wife," says the Atlanta Consti
tut ion.
And it is even so. At New Or-
leans she fur the first time allowed
herself to lie interviewed. It could
hardly I* called an interview, how-
ever, for it was but the expression
of an Opinion casually given; but it
is doubtful if anything ever said of
the President could bring him quite
as close to all people as this from
his wife:
"Do you know Major McKin-
ley?" she asked. "Ah, no one can
know him, because to appreciate
him one must know him as I do ;
and I am not speaking now of Ma-
?or McKinley as the President. I
am speaking of him as my husband.
If anyone could know what it is to etc
have a wife sick, complaining;,al-
ways an invalid for twenty-five
years, seldom a day well, and yet
never a word of unkindness has
ever passed his lips ; he is just the
same tender, thoughtful, kind gen-
tleman I knew when first he came
and sought my hand.
"I know him because I am his
wife, and it is my proudest pleas-
ure to say this, not because he is
the president but because he is my
husband.
"I wish that I could have seen
him yesterday; I love to see him
among the people whom he seeks
to serve so faithfully. But I read
his speeches this morning. I r^ad
all his speeches. I onlv wish that
I could help him as I should.
"He is so kind, so patient, so
good. He gives me all the time he
can; he never forgets me, 110 matter
how busy he is. But I will be glad
when he is out of public life ; I did
not want him to run a second time.
I thought he had done enough for
the country, and now I know that
he has done enough, and when his
term expires he wid come home and
we will settle down quietly and he
will belong to me."
President McKinley has made for
himself quite a reputation for happy
little speeches, but he must look to
his laurels. This little speech of
his wife's is well up with the very
best things he has said.

There is an opulent old Irishman of
a methodical turn in this town who
has a genial idiosyncrasy extremely
embarrassing to marriageable young
women, says the Chicago Chronicle.
He also has an eligible son who for
years has obstinately remained a bich- |
elor. The Hibernian Croesus is wont,
when in attendance at dances, to sin-
gle out the prettiest young woman in
the room and seat himself beside her.
After praising her beauty in a most
outrageously flattering manner he will
suddenly ask her if she knows his son
Tom. No matter what the reply is, he
will say: "Well, you're a mighty likely
and handsome girl and I'm going to
send Tom around to see you—you'd
make him a good wife. What days are
you at home?"
