‘Truth above all things.’
Entered in the Post Office as a Newspaper
FRIDAY, APRIL 30, 1897.
The President’s House and Ollice.
The idea of building a new Executive
' Mansion at Washington should not be
entertained, says the Philadelphia
Times. What is Wanted is an Executive
Office. There is no reason why the
President should carry on his official
business at his residence, and very
many reasons why he should have a
place of business elsewhere.
When the {White House was built it
was quite usual even for men of the
first importance to “live over the shop."
Our old lawyers nearly always had
their offices at home, and even great .
bankers and other men of afi‘airs trans-
acted their business aud entertained
their friends under the same roof. In
Madison’s time it was quite natural that
the President’s office should be a room
in his residence.
Times are changed. The President
has too much to do and too many peo-
ple to see for this old custom to be re-
tained. Ithas been abandoned every-
wuere else. No private citizen any
linger keeps his office at home, and no
other public official is compelled to car-
ry on his business in his own house.
The, Governors of the States are
generally provided with offices apart
from the oflicial residence, and the
President. of the United States alone is
is compelled to live over the shop.
Mir. Cleveland got aWay from this an-
noyance:for a part of the year by buying
apiece out of town and driving in to
his oflice 1n the White House. But
what Congress ought to do is to provide
an ofi‘ice for the President, where his
public business can be transacted, So
that his residence could be kept free
for the personal side of his oflicial rou-
tine, the receptions, dinners and the
like, and for the uses of his household.
The White House is really a noble
residence, quite adequate for its pur-
pOse and much more dignified and
worthy than anything Ihatwould proba
bly be built now. But it never was in-
tended for the tramping place it has be-
come, and it is notjust to the President
that he alone should have no refuge
from the crowd.
Mr. Harrison favored the extension
of the present building by wings, con-
taining offices and reception rooms, and
this is probably the best suggestion,
though a separate office building might
have some advantages. Both for the
President’s convenience and for the
public convenience some improvement
is needed, and it should be possible to
find a solution of the difficulty without
running into an ext-raviigant Congres-
sional job

Our Readers Are Face to Face With. an
Unavoidable Quesiten.
When the great Hume, the free-
tbinker, was asked by a lady at Bath,
Eng., whom would he depend upon the
more, servants who conscientiously be-
lieved in the truths of eternal revela-
tion, or those who professed to hold his
own Opinions, he frankly answered the
former.
When our readers are asked whose
statements can be depended upon the
more, scores of our citizens or one or
two desultory selections picked at hap
hazard from our broad Republic, the
answer must frankly .be, Norwalk
people every time. The only state-
ments that appear at the foot of any
proprdetary medicme advertisements in
Notwalk papers, obtained from a pure-
ly local source, are those appended to
the reading notices published by Dean’s
Kidney Pills. The inference is too ap-
parent to waste time mentioning it.
Read, this:
Mrs. Alex. 0. McLean, who lives at
No. 18 Maple street, is well known to
Nor-walk people, being the wife of the
popular manager of a big New York
Jobber’s Drug House. She has been a
widower for two years and a half, was
under treatment with a Brooklyn
specmlist who claimed she had chronic
Bright’s Disease. She got. Dean’s Kid
ney Pills at Hale’s drug store and be-
ean taking them. Mrs. McLean says
“I do not care to go into the details 01
my case. Dean’s Kidney Pills are
helping me. and I feel very much bet-
ter. Ihave great confidence in their
merit.”
