A Poetic Address.

Saturday there arrived at the Post Of
flee letter, the envelope enclosed it,
containing rather remarkable address.
1t was amusing to the officials in Uncle
Sam's Office, but if they had to wade
through much of this sort of thing, the
gentlemen would be driven to despera-
tion. The letter was from a charming
little miss in Woodstown, to a dear girl
friend in this city. Here is the address:
'Heo Uncle Sam, may go in your mail3
I've taken notion to ride on the rail.
In the State of New Jersey there let me drop.
In the County of Cumberland there let me stop.
In the Bridgeton Post Office there let me lay,
Until the good letter carrier takes me away.
At SIS Oak street, there let me meet,
Miss -- looking so sweet"
The letter reached it's place of destina-
ton all right.

MARK HANNA AND HIS BUSINESS METHODS

CLEVELAND, May 16.-Mark Hanna
and the other active partners of the NC
Kinley syndicate still bear an indignant
flush of face and neck by reason OF the
Journals discussion of their methods OF
getting their candidate clean Dill or
commercial health. Hanna points out
the manifest improperly of comment
ing upon a business action based on the
purest motives of friendship. 1t might
be improper II Hanna had ever been
caught in any unseltish action. but 1t
cannot be charged upon him. There
is a singularity with which certain fig-
ures come up in the course of mans
life. They appear in Mr.. Hannas rec
ord, always of large size. They come IN
blocks of six. Take this sum of $11S.OO0
the sum of the Indebtedness of the
firm in which Governor Mckinley was
a silent and, subsequently, sad part
ner. What a wave of recollections or
different business enterprises must have
surged into the Hanna mind and flood
ed the b-cellars of the Hanna mental
ity as he tabled out the total. 1t has
doomed up in his business and political
life like the red smokestacks of one of
his iron steamers. Twenty years ago
John Ellsler, the veteran manager and
actor, retired on competency. He be-
came weary of idlenesS in year, and
believeing that Cleveland was entitled
to a first class place of amusement, built
the Euclid avenue opera house. Into
the enterprise he put every one of the
$250, 900 he had saved, and incurred a
further Indebtedness of $4,000, which
he could not meet. Some of his paper
got into the banks, and even then Han
ma was a banker. Hanna also knew o
good thing in the amusement line when
he saw it. He pointedly yearned for the
Euclid avenue opera house. Ellsler
found trouble in extending loans and
getting time on mortgages Presently
the latter began to be put in the way of
foreclosure. The hint was out that
Hanna wanted the theater, and the 9TH
err capitalists of the city gave Ellsler
the deaf ear. At sheriff's sale Hanna.
who was the only bona fide bidder-ons
or two paced him to the hundred thou
sand for appearance sake-bought the
opera house for $107, 900. The court costs
and other expenses were $1,000, and
Hanna drew a check for $11S,000 in full
settlement.
Then there was the old Cleveland Her
aid, as honest a paper as was ever
wrecked by venal politicians. 1t existed
fifty years. and was killed off because
it's life interfered with Cleveland brood
Of politicians and spectators. When a.
w. Fairbanks, one of the original own
ers. was frozen out. and w. P. Fogg, II.
V. Smalley (also Of the Mckinley clique)
and Richard Parsons secured the outfit,
the price was $11S,000. Then Hanna,
Hough, Corning and some others took
the paper. What they paid is unknown.
At the end of year they issued 100000
in preferred stock and gave short-time
note for $4,000 of unassorted debts.
Then came the day Of the wreck, and
again the $11S,000 combination came out
of the box. This is the aggregate of
what Charles Bulkely. acting In the in

duced in purchasing power in this way?
Again, the farmers want more
money" But free silver coinage would
reduce the total monetary circulation by
about one-half, and instead of getting
more money than the $4,000, 100000 now
in circulation we should have only
about 81 ,000, 000, 900 all told.
Does the farmer demand a contrac-
ton of this sort, with a wheat price to
match?
With free silver coinage we should
lose from circulation every dollar that
is worth 100 cents. and one-half of all
our circulation would disappear.

were not joyous. A certain official oe

funds could not balance his books into
$11S,000. Hanna had in this, be 1t said.
no further interest than ne had III inc
amount Mckinley was shy on his M
dorsement--just the grieved interest OF
a friend and wel-wisher. The deficit
was made good in this case without beat
