HANNA WILL BE CHAIRMAN.
ST. LOUIS, June 17.-Mr. Hanna will
be made chairman of the national COM
mittee if he will accept Everybo
admits that. He has not yet signifed
his acceptance in explicit terms, but
he has said enough to convince his
friends of his willingness to assum =
the duties of the place. The selection
of a national chairman always comes
next to the presidential candidate.
Senator Gallinger's name has been
mentioned in connection with the
craftsmanship, but it will probably not
be pressed if Mr.. Hanna is a candidate,
and as sure as Mckinley is nominated
Hanna will be in the field.

originated with the republican party,
Mr.. Fairbanks proceeded to criticise
the Wilson bill and said:
This important law was wanting in the pr1-
mary purpose of revenue measure: for it
failed to provide adequate revenue to meet the
requirements of the government The defci-
end Is not yet, for the deficiency grows day by
day. This leaves the treasury and the public
credit in constant peril Our foreign credit is
impaired and domestic capital feels insecure
The bill struck down reciprocity, one of the
highest achievements in American statesman
ship No measure was ever enacted which
more directly advanced the interests of the
American farmers and manufacturers than
reciprocity. With its destruction fell advan-
tageous commercial agre ements. under which
their products were surely finding larger and
of their own
To meet the monthly deficits and protect our
credit and save the governments from protest,
the president has been forced to sell bonds: in
other words he has been obliged to mortgage
the future in time of peace to meet the cur
rent obligations of the government
Mr.. Fairbanks then said that the
democratic party, having attempted to
reverse the tariff policy of the United
States. proposed now to reverse the cur
rency policy, and then stated:
The republican party has rot been unfriend-
ly to the proper use OF silver It has ALWAYS
favored and favors to-day the of silver s
a part of our circulating medium But il IA
vors that use under such provisions and safe
guards as S1AA1 NOT lIupeliA our present IA
tional standard The policy OF the republican
party is to retain both geld and silver a part
of our circulating medium while the policy of
free coinage of silver leads 10 certain silver
monometalism
Those who profess to believe that this gov
eminent can independently of the other great
commercial powers open its minis to the free
and Independent coinage of silver at ratio Of
sixteen to one when the commercial ratio in
all the great markets is thirty to one, and
the same time not drive every dollar of gold
out of circulation but deceive themselves
The speaker then said the repu blican
party ought to accomplish what Blaine
had conceived pan-American con-
gressc that the Monroe doctrine must
be upheld; that the party believed in
the Development of our navy and mer-
chant marine; that the struggle in
Cuba enlisted the ardent sympathy of
the party, and wound up by saying:

Placed in the center of the southern
hemisphere, many thousands of miles
from any other civilized community,
and with civilized population still eX-
tremely small in proportion to its vast
area, South Africa has only just begun
to excite the curiosity and interest of
mankind. Twenty years ago even
England seldom thought of her re-
mote colony, except when some Kaffir
war compelled the dispatch of imperial
troops; and the rest of the world scarce
" noted its existence. Now the discOv-
cry of extraordinary mineral wealth, a
passionate struggle of races, and the
possibility that the claShing interests
of great nations may come to mingle in
that struggle, have drawn all eyes 70

THE FORMER JoneLEuR.
Total Extinction of the Heroic In A
and Fiction.

Total Extinction of the Heroic In Art
and Fiction.
When people were merry-making, as
at fairs and festivals, in the fourteenth
century, there was sure to be found a
jongleur, or minstrel, who would stand
OF an elevated platform and soon get an
interested crowd around him by recit-
ing a canto of an epic poem. When q
party of lords and ladies' had assem-
bled for pleasure there was sure.to be q
troubadour, who, taking his guitar
from the hands of an attendant
minstrel, would strike few chords On
it to attune his voice somewhat and
then would break out into a long, i'm
passioned recitation of noble poetry
and epic song.
The reason of the complete Danish
ment of such practices and such tastes
tinction of the heroic in fiction and III
art What ideals please people now
and what ideals pleased them then?
Whether it was that minds were
simpler and hearts more genuine and
purposes purer, certain 1t is that in
those days the recital of some noble eX-
ploit-not necessarily of arms but of
love or daring-would find a score of
ready listeners, while to-day 1 would
scarce find one. At the present day we
put quite another idea in the fore
ground of fiction and the elaboration of
a cunning plot which whets our wits to
follow it, the story of some evil or low
propensity of human nature, the eX-
alton of crime, which is the tale of a
murder, of fraud which is found in the
romance of a forgery, of falsehood
which may be read in those wonderful
stories of deception and mistake which
delight modern readers, occupy and en-
gross the whole ground of lighter liter
allure.
Very we'll. What has been the
aesthetic effect of the change? How is 1t
that epic poetry, if it has staggered and
tainted for centuries past, may to-day
at length be practically pronounced to
be dead?
