CANADA COMPETITION.
Tenders Are Being Issued for the New
Atlantic Mail Service.
HOW THE M'KINLEY BILL ACTS.
Products Diverted From America Into
British Channels.
AN INCREASE IN THE EXPECTATIONS

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsrArcH.l
OTTAWA, Dec. "A cable from London
saws that tenders for the new Atlantic mail
service were being issued yesterday from
the Office of the High Commissioner for
Canada. Sir Charles Upper, on being in
teryiewed on the subject, said that the new
service is rendered necessary in order to
fulfill the pledges made to the
Imperial Government by the Govern
ment of the Dominion when the
subsidy was given to the China and Japan
service. The use of the new steamers as
armed cruisers by the Imperial authorities
will entitle the new Atlantic and Austria
lian services to receive about $3.50, 900
year from the home Government 1t is
said, however, that seeing the gfeat i'm
portance of the highway to the East, the
British Government will make tine subsidy
$3.50, 900.
Volumes Spoken for the Mckinley Act.
From an American standpoint the trade
returns OF the Dominion Government speak
volumes in favor Of the Mckinley act.
They indicate briefly that Canadian farm
products, as the results of Congressional
legislation, have been diverted from Amer
lea into British channels The injury done
the Canadian producers cannot be overes-
timated While the past year has witnessed
large increase in the volume of trade with
Great Britain. the prices are not
as satisfactory as those formerly received in
the United States markets. This season
Canada sent 8, SOC. 900 dozen of eggs to Eng
land in place of 1000 dozens. The market
is found to be illimitable. The rate of
freight is lower than that across the British
channel from France, and the chief difficulty
is one arising from the limitation of the
Canadian product, owing to many farmers
having followed their leaders advice and
killed off their poultry.
Exports Have Greatly Increased.
Canada sent nearly ten times as many
horses to England this year as last year.
Canadians have lost considerable sums by
the increased duty on barley. The result is
shown that the growth of the two-rowed
barley. encouraged by the Government, is
going to enable Canada to compete with
California and Russia in the British mar
ket. Poultry is going to Great Britain in
hundreds of tons, in greater quantities than
were anticipated. Cheese is still increasing
in the volume of its provision for British
needs. In pork products. owing to the
protection which precludes the American
hog from driving out the Canadian breed
of animals our export has been greatly
stimulated; and 400, DOC more swine are to
be found in Ontario alone than was to be
met with in 1885,

WE have held the view for some
time that our county elections
should not occur every year. We
think there can not be urged one
good, valid reason therefor, while
several cogent reasons occur to us
why it wonld be better to elect the
entire county ticket every two
years. The expense, except in case
OF a vacancy, would be lessened one
half. More or less bitter feeling is
always engendered BY these politi-
cal contests, and while this feature
would not be entirely eliminated it
would be reduced to the minimum.
In most of the states the full county
ticket is elected every two years
and the plan gives general satisfac-
hon, We believe.

On the evening of December 7th,
1891. surrounded by loving relatives
and friends, the summons came and
Captain Hanna peacefully passed
away. And language cannot ad-
equately convey the sorrow that
pervaded the hearts Of our entire
community when the sad news of
his death was first received, and
when we first fully realized that
his sun had gone down forever and
that nothing was left US but the
remembrance of his virtues and
example. Never before were we
more wildly impressed with the
vanity of worldly things; the GER
tain decay of all earthly greatness;
that life is but a vapor and that we
must all soon pass away.
b. J. F. HANNA was born In
Golconda, Pope county, Illinois,
February oath 1925. At the age
of 20 years, having alternated the
previous four years in working on
farm in summer and teaching school
in winter, he entered a printing
Office at Sparta, Illinois, and remain
ed there until he thoroughly mas
tered the practical part of the
profession.
IS49 he established the Chester
Herald at Chester, Illinois, and in
the following year his Office was
entirely destroyed by fire. He had
no Insurance and was left literally
penniless, but his credit was good
aud in less than twenty-fours he
had purchased new material and was
at work.
He continued the publication of
the Herald until 1855 when he re-
moved to Alton, Illinois, and took
charge of the editorial department
of the Alton Courier, daily paper,
which he conducted until 1851. He
was employed by the government in
1862 when he was appointed by
President Lincoln, who was his
personal friend, quartermaster of
United States Volunteers with the
rank of captain which commission
he held until 1866. History records
that he was one Of a few quarter
masters who did not supplement his
pay and allowances by questionable
methods.
In the fall of 1865 Captain
Hanna removed to Salina, Kansas,
where he established the Herald. |
At that time there was nc other
paper published in Kansas as far
west as Salina. 1t was, emphati-
cally, the pioneer newspaper of
western Kansas and Captain Hanna
IS entitled to the distinction of being
designated the pioneer editor and
publisher.
In 1877 he was appointed regis
ter of the United States land Office
at Hays City. In 1879 the land
Office was moved to Wa-Keeney and
Captain Hanna came with it and
a citizen of Trego county
up to the time of his death.
In 1885 he retired from the office
Of register and has since been en-
gagged in practice before the United
States land Office.
In 1859 he was elected member
of the legislature from Trego county
md served in that capacity with
.redit to himself and his con-
Ailments. Is

Captain Hanna's fund of general
information was something remark
able. He had mingled much with
men prominent in public life, had
always been a student and had read
a great deal and his memory of men
and events was wonderful; he was
regarded as an oracle on matters
historical and political.
So far as we are advised, Captain
Hanna never made any enemies.
While he was always firm in his
convictions and pursued the course
he believed to be right with tenacity
and firmness, and regardless Of OPP
position, he always commanded the
respect, even of those who did not
agree with him, for they knew he
was actuated by pure motives.
It might well be said of him that
he was a stranger to article and
subtle craft; an enemy to deceit, a
foe to fraud. So he lived, inspiring
the confidence and esteem of all.
