scholars in the state. He is also a gem
tleman poasessing fine oratorical pow
crs, and he Is an adept scholar In par
llamentnry law that governs all lcgis-
lative bodies.
He comes From n loyal Republican
family. and as an illustrationI would
say that he was one OF ten brothers who
voted for Mckinley and Hobart and
the whole Republican ticket. He Ia a
young man whose character "a unuues-
toned for all That Is good. He has n
sufficient amount OF firmness to rule and
govern a legislative body. without Civ
Ing oifense to any one. This brings to
mind that Mr.. Hahn's many friends
throughout the state have requested
him 10 allow his name to be presented
TO the house OF delegates as a suitable
person for speaker OF that body. we
whoVknow the gentleman 10 well, say TO
our friends throughout the state, elect
Professor Hahn az speaker and you will
not make u mistake, and you will really
strengthen the Republican party by
your action. Y
We well know that the Republican
party has many able gentlemen in IL.
who have been elected to the legislature.
and the people In the eastern pan.
handle will Loyalty support any one OF
them, but We DO think II would Inure to
the benefit OF the party in every Sec
lion of the state to elect Prof. C. F.
Hahn as the speaker of the house OF
delegates.
This communication Is written with
out the knowledge or consent OF that
gentleman, but We believe It win meet
with the appreciation OF all the Republic
can voters OF Mineral county. where he

MIR. ELKINS EXPLAINS
His Connection with the Harrison Teie-
phone Compnny-Was Offered tho PresI.
ideney, but Has Nothing to Do with the

phone Company-was Offered tho presi.
idency, but Has Nothing to Do with the
Concern.
a New York dispatch contains n state
ment from Senator S. B. Elkins in re-
gard to his connection with the Harrison
International Telephone Company, for
which a receiver has been asked by the
Inventor, Harrison, who alleges misap.
preparation OF funds by the directors.
MI. Elkins says;
II know nothing whatsoever about a
suit which is said to have been brought
for a receiver for the Harrison ~Interna-
tional company, o do I know anything
about the matters pertaining to that
company. At the earnest request of Mr..
George Peck and many OF my western
friends. l agreed, in 1895, providing the
company reduced Its stock to $1,000. 900
or S,.000.00o and moved their chief Office
TO New York, 10 become the president of
the company. l was notified at that
time that | would be given q certain
amount ae the stock for my services.
This offer was refused. I have never at
tended a.meetlng OF the stockholders,
either by proxy or otherwise and have
never received n penny's worth of stock.
I have instructed my; lawyer In Chicago
to look Into the matter and upon his re-
port, provided the occasion warrants II, ]
will make n fuller statement, in which I
will bring forth the correspondence
which passed between the company and
myself"
The dispatch which called forth the
above statement from Mr.. Elkins was
from Chicago and stated that Edward
NJ. Harrison, n telephone inventor, who
was made q defendant In the suit for a
receiver for the Harrison International
Telephone Company, brought October 5
BY two stockholders III the federal court
there. filed in court an answer, prac-
tically admitting all the charges.
He alleges that he was also a victim of
President L. Z. Ingalls, and his associ
ates on the board of directors, among
them United States Senator Stephen B.
Elkins, former Secretary of the Treasury
Charles Foster, George r. Beck. general
counsel Of the ST. Paul railroad; Repre-
sentative William Warner, R. c.. Kerens,
Republican national committeeman
from Missouri, and Patrick Egan, for
mer minister to Chill.
Harrison alleges that all the assets
have been absorbed in the interests OF
the officers to the loss OF the stockholders
and asserts that the contract of May 4
last was not adopted at the annual meet
ing, then transferring the telephone
property to the International Construc:
ton Company, and he asks that 1t be set
aside.
Harrison says that the men who were
made directors We're to receive $500
shares at twenty cents a share for the
use OF their names, but as soon as they
were elected directors they donated to
themselves s2,0 900. 900 each Of the s50.O0O.-
900 treasury stock to ingalls, without
consideration.

ne SeSrelary OF agriculture, In his mn
nnnl report nov made public, takes UP
the case OF the American farmer, about
which the long-whlskered politicians
have put out a great mass OF mlsinfor-
nation. Those politicians succeeded in
making some farmers believe them
selves the most miserable OF men, dis
eliminated against by state and nation
al governments and ground into the dust
by the money devil"
Secretary Morton shows that 72 per
cent, nearly three-fourths, OF the farms
of the country occupied by their owners
arc free OF incumbrance OF any kind.
Three-fourths OF the farm mortgages
represent money borrowed to buy the
farms or improve them. This state OF
affairs does not show that our farmers
as a class are being eaten up by debt or
that their condition 10 going from bad to
worse. Nor does Il appear that farmers
pay largely more than other people pay
for the money they borrow. The secrc-
try OF agriculture shows that on the
average they nay less than / per cent
more than is charged on residential pro-
perty, q class of realty usually turned In
the market more readily than farm pro-
perty.
West Virginia Is one OF the states In
which money lent on farm mortgages
averages n lower rate OF interest than
money lent or other realty. In this re-
spect, certainly, the West Virginia farm
er who borrows has nothing to com
plain Of and the politicians need not
busy themselves setting up mock com
plants in his behalf. The farmer Is not
likely to thank the politicians for their
demand that his real estate shall be put
on the level Of other real estate on which
higher rates Of interest are charged.
APPOINT made by the secretary OF agri-
culture, made before but worth making
again, isgthat farmers on old, long-tllled
and high.priced lands nre at q dIsad-
vantage In competing with farmers
working new lands got from the govern
mcnt without cost, as in the ase OF
lands procured under the homestead and
tlmber-culture acts.
The opening of new and highly produce
tive lands has brought about an equaliz-
ing process which has caused n shrink
age in farm land values in the old set
Elements and given a market value to
lands which had hone in regions of more
recent development. What has been go
ing on In this country has been going on
in other countries, or this continent and
in the old world. New lands have been
developed. railways have brought re-
mote regions close to the seaboard, and
in the markets Of the world where we
sell the surplus products OF our farms
we have found new competitors adding
faster to the supply than the demand in
creased.
Just now there is a shortage abroad
and u cereals find quick sale at largely
increased prices. These are good times
for the American grain rover and bad
times for American politicians who
bank on his misfortunes. The fact is
that, taken year in and year out, our
farmers are much better off as a class
than u business men and our artisans.
In urban communities there Is an al
most savage contest for shelter and food,
items which bother the farmer almost
not at all.

A PLEA FOE CUBA

o. Father. we've for ages known
That which Greclan sages TO "
Long hoped and thought. With Spartan
zeal
The doom OF failure on their land.
The dream of that defeated band
To us has been made grandly real:
Our homes long been the worlds ideal.
And IN our prayers before Thy throne
We ever call thy blessings down
On this, the land OF freedoms birth
The lreest land of all the earth.
Here We have grown through ages bright,
And rave ~extinGuished. by Thy might,
The last Of slav'ry's tlick'rinE light,
And own our soil without n blight
or bondage dark to sadly mar
The glory OF that peerless star.
But, Father, now our. prayers ascend
That Thou wilt be lone Cuba's Friend.
The. strength Thou gavest Washington
To help him struggle bravely on.
And bring from out that bloody war
Each fadeless stripe and brilliant star.
Thou on Americas distant shore
Bad'st Liberty's pinions proudly soar.
And, Father, when our flag was rent
BY bitter Southern discomfort,
Thou still In noble arms put pow'r
To quell, In that mistaken hour.
TIL direful strife that fain would rend
Tho ties that bound us friend to friend.
When Lincoln's pow'rful tongue did dare,
.'Gainst Constitution. to declare
Twas best to do whato'cr the need
OF right and Justice had decreed.
And though It stretched him on the bier,
There falls. on 1t n nations tear,
In thunllfulness to Thee, who gave
A man so loyal. true and brave.
For Mnceo wilt Thou now do
What Tliou diist for our heroes two?
