Will Mr.. Hanna go into the cabinet ?
This IS one of the leading questions of the
day, and it seems to be growing in interest.
Fer time statement attributed to Mr..
Hanna, that under no circumstances would
he take office if Mr.. Mckinley succeeded.
was widely quoted and generally accepted.
This he repudiates. though not in a way to
answer the question now SO frequently pro-
pounded.
Mr.. Hanna's name is associated with the
secretaryship of the treasury. His talents
lie in the line of business, and his ability
to grasp big things has just been demon
strated. In some quarters there is a boom
for MIR. Hanna, and 1t rests upon several
Propositions.
% The Treasury Department calls at all
times for an administration upon business
principles. Under the new order more than
ever will this be true. Tariff and the cur
rency are both questions which affect the
very life blood of business. The business
world therefore will look anxiously to the

The present struggle in Cuba has served
to startle the world with some peculiar ex-
pressions from Spanish sources on the sub
Ject of war.
The first of these expressions was the
denial that state of war existed in Cuba
An outbreak was confessed. but no war.
Squads of turbulent blacks, assisted by
some white Adventures, were in arms in
resistance to Spanish authority, but 1t was
a misuse of terms to call them soldiers, or
to speak of war in Cuba" Those "turbu-
lent squads. however, have now opposed
TO them an army of two hundred thousand
troops, led by one of SPANS foremost COM
nanders. The island itself is a camp.
where it is not a waste. Business is para
lyzed. Spain's stocking fund is being
drawn upon for money with which to prose-
cute the struggle. But. according to Spain,
there is no war in Cuba.
Then came criticism of the tactics of the
squads" They refused to fight according
to manual. They declined engagements
when invited into fields of Spanish choos-
ing. They seemed to have a system of
their own, and they stubborr.ly adhered to
it, 1t was not to be found in the books,
and therefore the men who employed 1t
were outside of the pale. The Austrian
archdukes. for time. voted Napoleon no
soldier for something of the same reason.
He violated so many of the rules for
handling an army that they would not al
low he knew anything about warfare
proDer. But after he had licked them
few times with his eccentric maneuvers,
they changed their minds.
There is now the startling intelligence
from Spanish sources that General Weyler.
who has at last been pitchforked into the
open field is meeting with some physical
discomfOrtsi He got his feet wet the other
day. and has missed one or two meals!

not able to have his mustachios waxed at
the ends since he left Havana! The very
deuce may be to pay, for all Havana knows.
General Wsyler may have lost his spurs.
and even his sword. climbing mountains in
pursuit of squads who refuse to give
him battle down on the levels, where he
could direct his forces from carriage, or
the window of dining room. Think of the
drenchings that the great Grant got in the
Wilderness. and of the meals he missed
without thought OF it, or a celebration of
made about these splashings of General
Weyler's trousers, and of the grub that
never camel
Those Cubans are undoubtedly a sad lot,
or they would not subject a great man to
such hardShips. and to the expense of a
new uniform. Still, let it be understood,
there is no war in Cuba. Spain contends
for that.

new Secretary. Congress will enact legfs-
lation on both those questions, and the
business world will be vitality interested in
a wise execution Of that legislation. Mr..
Hanna Is in close touch with the business
interests. AS a business man he under
stands both the tariff question and the
financial question. and Secretary of the
Treasury he would render valuable aid in
the solution of both. He would not only be
trusted, but assisted, by the business inter-
ests. He is a man of national sympathies-
comes from middle state and knows both
the western and the eastern view Of things.
He would be the servant of the whole
country.
GU President Mckinley would have a
personal friend as we'll as safe adviser in
the most important Office under him. He
knows MIR. Hanna intimately and trusts
him implicitly. He would lose no sleep on
account of the Treasury Department, but
would feel assured that everything there
as going on satisfactorily.
60 The appointment would be somewhat
similar to that of Mr.. Manning made by
Mr. Cleveland when he first took Office
Mr. Manning. up to the time he became
disabled. was the conspicuous success of
that administration. He was q business
man. with taste and turn for political
management. He had steered Mr.. Cleve-
land TO success in the nominating conven-
tlcn. just as Mr.. Hanna steered Mr.. Nc
Nlnley. He shared with Mr.. German in
the arduouS labors of the campaign that
followed. Mr. Cleveland knew him inti-
mately and trusted him implicitly He felt
tnat he ought to have such a man in his
caDlnet MIR. Manning did not desire office.
he mad important interests at home which
demanded his attention. But Mr.. Cleveland
urged him. and he accepted. He admins
tered the Treasury Department in thor
oughly business-lke way. and the country
applauded the selection. So, it is sug-
gested would Mr.. Hanna-the same type of
man-acquit himself in the same place, and
SO, IT Is predicted. would the country come
to applaud the Presidents selection
ihere Is good deal of this sort of talk
and some of 1t comes from men who have
had large experience in public affairs. 1t
comes as well too from those who know
Mr. Hanna personally as from those who
know him only from his successful man
agement of Mr.. McKinleys campaign
There Is feeling that Mr.. Hanna-again
suggesting Mr.. Manning-does not care for
office: that he would prefer to stay at horne
and direct his private affairs. But the
Treasury Department is so important, and
1t Is so essential that Mr.. Mckinley should
make no mistake in filling it. that many
politicians. for the present at least have
slated Mr.. Hanna for the place.

Grade CROSSINGS,

Chairman Mcmillan of the Senate Dis
trIct committee does rot seem to have per-
mitted the recent presidential campaign to
detract in the least from his direct inter
est in local affairs, and according to the
talk which he gave today to a Star reporter
published elsewhere he has come back to
Washington prepared for an active session.

fore adjournment. The Senator takes occa-
sion to express the opinion that the Dis
trict Commissioners are to be held respon-
sible for airy delay in the passing of bills
for the abclishing of grade crossings in the
District. He seems to think that unless
the local authorities and the citizens agree
with the plans of the railroad companies
nothing can be done OF course the chair
Know that the companies. being lii possess
sion Of the streets. can to a certain extent
dictate terms for a time. but he also knows
that in the end the grade crossings must
be abolished. and in a manner which will
commend itself as reasonably satisfactory
to the community as we'll as to the rail-
roads. 1t Is therefore perfectly natural and
Indeed the part of wisdom for the Commits
slCners to seek to accomplish this end in
the manner most advantageous to the pub
lie. The cfances are thereby increased of
a final compromise agreement, which will
be fair to everybody and impose upon no.

When the sun. a revivified ember
Seems to threaten the land with q Grouth ?
Though we formerly welcomed his shining.
Things seldom are good out of place,
And We long for the gray clouds entwining
Their mists round his impudent face.
