Serene in the midst of the confidence
that all is well, Mr.. Hanna in his smil-
ing clean -shaven and clear-eyed COM
posure, more apprehensive Of an over
drawn sense of security than of alarms
vibrates between the city of commerce
and the city of conventions, collected
and vigilant as the engineer who man
ages the engines of twin-screw steam
er, confident that if there is no relaxa-
ton in well-doing no tempest can come
out of the skies south or east or west to
stay the course of the ship safely to the
port that the chart and compass tell is
right ahead. Mr.. Hanna is the new man
in politics, the man Of affairs of his own,
finding time for unofficial business This
is not Of evil; there is not a better sign
Of better things. The element of which
Mr.. Hanna is a type is needed to stand
firmly for the balances of power with
which the fathers conserved the repub-
lic-and this representation Of the an
cient civic and national pride in our
Government under the Constitution as
it is, has not come to us without cause,
or appeared too soon; and when the
contest is over and won, Mr.. Hanna will
deserve well Of his country that he is
serving for the sake Of principle with
motives and for considerations that
contemplate only his fair share as a
laborious and faithful citizen of the
general welfare.-From ''The Three

WHAT FREE TRADE DOES.
The Result in Ireland VIII Be the Re-
suit Here.
(From the Corning Observerl

An Irlshman, a sharp, shrewd and
Weu read gentleman, recently expressed
his sentiments as follows: Free trade
has ruined Ireland, beggared its people
and driven them into exile. 1t will do
the same by any people who adopt it,
OToville Register.
The IriShman was right. When the
agitation was going on in the United
Kingdom for the adoption Of the free
trade laws, the editor of the Observer
was serving his apprenticeship in Dub
lin, and was strongly opposed to the
free trade bill, as he saw it would COM
pletely ruin Ireland. He showed to his
fellow -workmen how French and other
nations goods would come in and kill
home manufactures. The universal an
swer was, But we will get everything
much cheaper" At that time the fur
hat business (the fur was dressed rabbit
skins was good and employed a large
number of people; so was gold beating,
fancy boots and shoes for Liverpool and
Manchester, high-priced leather for
England, lace manufacture in Limerick; !;
poplin, cloth and linen manufacture in
Dublin and in the North; glass and
other trades. Well, the free trade bill
passed, and in two weeks all the work
shops and factories were closed; some
few fingered a while. OF course they
got everything cheaper, but no money
was to be earned to buy the cheap
goods. Idle mechanics then increased,
and they began to emigrate to other
climes. The famine then took hold of
the idle and starving masses. and before
twas over3 900, 0,000souls had emigrated
or died. Ireland has never recovered
from that free trade blow she received.
For three years America is suffering
from the same free trade laws, factories
and mills closed, half the laborers and
mechanics tramping through the nation
seeking work, the farmers getting half
piice for their products. and yet these
po or sufferers are anxious to put at the
head Of national affairs an inexperi-
enced young free trader to continue the
curse. Great Scot, how can these ideas
exist?

CODE OF ETHICS.
Nevada Newspapers Shut Down on
Free Advertising.
(From the Reno Gazette. !

(From the Reno GaZette.)
The Carson News has an article
condemning the Press Associations ac-
ton at the meeting when they passed
resolution to the effect that no paper
OF the association should mention any
man professionally when his profes-
sional card was not published in one or
more papers in the town in which he
resides. The resolution is in no manner
blackmailing or bulldoZing scheme
and no professional man should pay
any attention TO 1t if he don't want to.
1t was not done to increase the revenue
or the papers or to coerce anybody.
Professional men have q code of eth
les, however. Doctors think it ''un-
professional to let the public know
where they can be found or what hours
they will be in their Offices A great
many lawyers have a code of ethics
not to publish their professional cards
and to bury their light under a bushel,
and trust TO the press to call public at
tehtion TO their great efforts for or
against client simply as matter Of
news The Press Association decided
at Its last meeting to adopt a code of
ethics OF it's own, and having done so
1t lily becomes the News to denounce
it. Much good has already resulted to
the newspaper men OF this State by the
information of the Press Association,
and much more will follow If the pa
perS will work together No profess
slonal man has any good reason for
nndlng fault with the action of the
Nevada Press Association for they will
grant the association the same rights
they reserve for themselves, to adopt
code Of ethics for the government
OF newspapers, as long as such code
does not interfere with the rights and
privileges of any man or class Of men.
We think if the News had taken a
second thought it would not have pub
liShed what it did
The Press Association aims to govern
itself in business way and do nothing
undign1fied, or that smacks Of petty
Jogging. The press has the interests
OF the State and the people at heart as
much or more than any other class.
and has always worked for the uppuild-
ing Of the State on all legitimate lines.
1ne resolution spoken of was not
adopted to blackmail anyone or any
profession; and the Gazette" is sur
prised that the News" usually 50
fair and correct should so construe it.
There was nothing in the adoption of
the resolution that any professional
man in this State need fear or find
fault with, if he is fair minded and
willing to accord to others the same
rights he reserves to himself.

Influence of the Quality of Glass on
Wine

Probably ninety-nine persons out of

ridicule the idea that the quality of the
glass Of which a bottle may be made
can have any influence on the taste or
keeping qualities Of its contents And
yet that 1t does do SO we have the best
OF evidence. We are not alluding to
the influence Of light shining through

tied. Some time afterward some of the
wine was brought to the table, and on
tasting it the host detected a strange

found to be similarly affected, and bot
tie after bottle was opened with the
same result. An examination of the
stock in the cellar developed the fact
that every bottle Of the recent purchase
was spoiled A suit was brought against
the wine merchant, who declared that
he had delivered the article exactly
according to the samples furnished.
