Mark Hanna has been talking about
President-elect Mckinley and his atti-
tude on various questions. The people
are rather anxious to know what the
next president thinks about trusts, for
they are more or less imbued with the
idea that he is not only not hostile
10 them, but that he is rather inclined
to be friendly towards them. They
know substantially how he stands on
the tariff and on the silver question
He is friendly to the one, inimical TO
the other.
Mr. Hanna has defined the president
elects attitude towards trusts. He
says that Major Mckinley will as
sumo a digniied attitude Of antag-
onism to all trusts and monopolies:
that his inaugural message VIII breathe
a spirit of adherence for the centraliza-
ton of such power ds is today pos
sessed by the trusts, and then I'VE will
expect the understanding of the people
to do the rest"
Major Mckinley, be it said with
due respect, is rather famous for at
titudinizing. For months before the
Republican national convention assem-
bled and during the campaign, but not
to the same extent, the country was
told of his great resemblance TO Ma
poleon, and the people became familiar
with his face and form in Napoleonic
attitudes. That was all very well for
campaign purposes. though somewhat
far fetched.
President Mckinley assuming dig
nified attitude of antagonism to all
trusts and his inaugural breathing a
spirit of adherence for the centraliza-
ton of such power as is today pos
sessed by the trusts, will frighten them
just about as much ds a pumpkin face,
with a lighted candle inside, set up in
a dark alley would. Corporations are
said to have no souls, but corporations
are the most soulful things on the
earth compared with trusts.
The people demand that something
else be done by President Mckinley to
make the trusts obey the laws than
the assuming of attitudes of
antagonism TO them and breathing a
spirit OF adherence. What they will
demand will be that the attorney gen
eral of the United States to be ap-
pointed by him enforce the laws
against trusts. They have waited in
vain for Mr.. Cleveland to instruct At
torney-General Olney to enforce the
antitrust laws, and expect the incom-
ing administration to enforce them.
Near the close of his remarks on
President-elect Mckinley, Mr.. Hanna
says:
The most difficult problem Mckinley
has is the formation of his cabinet. He
is a man who, above all things, dislikes
to injure the feelings OF any one. There
are so many men eligible and who are
friends of Mckinley that he fears to
appoint one man for fear others will
feel aggrieved. This is a quality that
in him attracts all men and shows
the big heart that lies within him.
That states clearly as possible why
the people are somewhat mistrustful
that Major Mckinley will make weak
president and no: enforce the laws
rigidly. He is affable and genial and
dislikes to offend men. Ill augury for
a strong administration.

USING 90 FOR L.
Dissertation on the Correct Pro

Dissertation on the Correct Pro-
nuciatiOn of Two Certain Words.
Many southerners, says the Baltimore
Sun, object to the expression 1.-The new
south" as implying the idea that the
south, as modified by post-bellum events,
is an Improvement on the old south. but
what would they say if they heard their
section called the moo south?" THIS is
what a number of northern people who
think well of themselves are in the habit
of calling it. They change 700, the COM
mon sound of the letter u. to 90, and. by
consequence, say moo instead of new,
stoodents instead of students, moosic in
stead of music, dock instead of duke, and
doGty instead Of duty. The writer of an
article in the New York Sun recently
tried to show that this misuse of the U
was right and was sanctioned by the
usage of all educated people from Maine
to California. But his claim is not con-
ceded by New Workers, nor even by New
Englanders, who in letters to the Sun
describe the southern pronunciation as
the correct one. a Connecticut writer
ascriDes the 90 pronunciation to in
dolence in phOnatiOn." and a Louisiana
correspondent takes the same view. 1t is
conceded that the 90 sound is prevalent
in the north from Maine TO California,
but not among the well educated, for
an educated person is, prima facie, one
who is trained to speak and act correct
ly." If anyone finds it difficult 10 say
and must say dooty, it is simply because
he has been imperfectly trained. If the
best usage be considered, 700 is the
pronunciation approved by the educated
in the north as well as the south IN the
class of words under discussion. Some
persons who unwittingly make a virtue
of their faults and have a sense of ST.

HEBREW CRITICISM OF CLEVELAND

The Hebrews of Cincinnati are said
to be very indignant over the language
of President Cleveland's Thanksgiving
proclamation. They don't like the
reference in it to the Savior, taking ex-
ception to the words, asking a con-
tinuation of heavenly favor through
the mediation of Him who taught us
how to pray" One rabbi is out in an
interview declaring that the president
''panders to the passions of those
bigoted sectarians who have been en-
deavoring to undermine the pure
secularism upon which this government
is based
Those Hebrews who have taken of
tense at the language of the presidents
proclamation have taken offense where
no offense was or could be intended

Some of the details of expenditures
are interesting. Thus it is stated that
the literary bureau in one of the big
gest weeks sent out 100000 pieces of
literature, the postage upon which
alone amounted to 100000.
Whether the amount given by the
World be correct or not, it may be set
down as certain that Hanna did not
have anything like the Iunu he was
credited with having during me cam
paign when all was excitement. In
Utah we know that the stories about
the enormous contributions of the
mine owners to the Democratic cam
paign fund were pure myths, though
they were widely circulated and as
widely believed in the east. No doubt
many of the stories widely circulated
and believed IN the west about Hanna S
campaign fund were pure myths also.
The ready credence with which the
mind of man accepts the widest stories
about opponents in a political cam
paign is one of the things that passeth
all understanding.

amount.

committee has paid all its debts and
