Hanna Outlines The Policy.
NEWLY ELECTED PRESIDENT
WILL CALL AN EXTRA SEES
SION OF CONGRESS.
More Revenue is Needed The Issue
of Any Moye Bonds, Hanna Says,
Would be Dangerous.

NEW YORK, Nov. s.-The World this
morning says:
Mark Hanna gave the World the
following outline of what he under
stood to be President elect McKinley's
general policy:
81 have had but comparatively brief
conversations with Major Mckinley
since his election. Next week / ex-
pect to meet him at Cleveland, and, as
he has had time to think over matters,
/ presume he will have more details
than / am at present aware of. But
this much / know-he feels that he
ewes much to the patriotic Democrats,
who prefer principle to strict party
lines. Indiana, for instance, was In
questionably carried against fusion by
Democratic votes.
"He recognized the very great err
vice performed by the Democratic and
Independent newspapers during the
campaign.
"Major Mckinley will endeavor to
see collected a great national party
that will give prosperity to the coun-
try. He expects and hopes that men
of all shades of former political belief
will be united to this end. / have
talked with some of the most infiuen-
tial of the old Democratic leaders, and
l am glad to saythey are in accord with
Major McKinley's hopes.
"The first movement he will make
will be to obtain sufficient revenue 60
conduct the government. Further is
sue of bonds would be altogether too
dangerous. Business prosperity and
stability demand that as soon as posi-
BILE, the government should be on a
paying basis. To this end an extra
session of Congress will be necessary,
and President Mckinley will undoubt-
eddy call one soon after his Inaugural
ton.
"Legislation will be required to Sc
cure the desired revenue, and Mr..
Mckinley will do everything in his
power to secure it, as well as the legal
establishment of a policy which will
tend to put everybody at work. In all
this he hopes and expects that he will
be backed by patriotic men, regardless
of party lines.
GAS for myself, 1 I'M not after any
office, and will endeavor to attend to
private business affairs which need my
personal supervision"
Asked what Democrats of note he
had talked with on the subject of the
future, Mr.. Hanna said:
81 do not wish to name them all, but
1 may mention Messrs. w. @. Whitney
and Abram s. Hewitt as examples"

POPULISTS IN CONTROL.
Can Elect a Senator From Kansas
Without Help.

Topeka, Kas., November s.-Com-
plete returns ON members of the Leg
islature in Kansas show that the Pop
ulists have a clear majority on joint
ballot, not counting Democrats and
free silver Republicans. They can,
therefore, elect a United States Sem
ator without the aid of the Democrats
and free silver Republicans, who
made this victory possible. This pre-
cludes all hope of the election of a
Democrat. The Legislature stands:
Populists, 81; Democrats, 9, and free
silver Republicans, 2.

Observation-Disclosures FEUD.
Talk of a Duel Between the Senator
and the Secretary's Son.

WASHINGTON, Nov. s.-Reports as
to the possibility of q duel between
Senator Blackburn and Chief Clerk
Logan Carlisle of the Treasury De-
partment have been revived.
The Senator's anger against MIR.
Carlisle was first aroused when, dur
ing a campaign, Mr.. Carlisle intimated
in a reply to a request to enter into a
joint debate with a colored man that
he considered the colored man super
ior to Senator Blackburn. MIR. Car
Isle laughed at the suggestion that a
duel might result.
Among the employees discharged
from the Treasury Department after
the election for offensive ~partisanship
was a Miss Mcmillan, of Kentucky,
who is a partisan of Senator Black
burn in Kentucky politics. Though
Senator Blackburn is not here, it is re-
ported that he is very angry on ac-
count of Miss McMillan's removal.
Mr.. Carlisle declines to discuss the
matter or to say anything about the
reasons for Miss McMillan's removal,
or any other treasury employees, furth-
er than that they held their appoint
ments under the civil service law, and
If any of them think they have been
unjustly treated the civil service COM
mission stands ready to investigate
and direct their appointments if they
merit it.
Accompanying the report that Sem
ator Blackburn may challenge bung
Carlisle is an interesting bit of gossip
to the effect that Secretary Carlisle
will use his influence in the Kentucky
senatorial contest in behalf of Colonel
w. @. P. Breckenridge. 1t is stated by
those who ought to know that the
Secretary does not desire reelection
to the Senate. He and Colonel Breck:-
inridge have been close personal
friends for years and it is understood
that the Secretary would feel that the
people of Kentucky would indorse his
course in the recent campaign should
they elect his friend Breckenridge to
the Senate. Breckinridge and Black
burn have been at daggers points for
years and the gold men say it would
be a harder blow on Blackburn to see
Breckinridge made his successor than
for the next Senator to be Carlisle or a
Republican.

Med. TRIMBLE TALKS.
He Tells What He and His Fellow
Boilers Would Like the Re-
pubIicans to Do.
From the Kansas CITY World.


j. Med. Trimble, late gold STANDARD
Democratic candidate for Governor
is of the opinion that $4,000 Missouri
Democrats failed to vote for Bryan
and Stephens in the election Tuesday
Mr.. Trimble does not claim that they
voted for General Palmer and him
self, but in his opinion their detection
was more than made up for by thous'
ands of free silver Republicans, who
voted the straight Democratic ticket
Judge Trimble was found by a re.
porter for the World at his home or
1 Penn street last night. For a man who
had just suffered a crushing politica
defeat he seemed to be in an excellent
humor.
"The free coinage of silver and gold
at the ratio of is to 1, when the COM
mercial ratio was 80 to 1 would be nee
~essarily silver monometallism," said
Judge Trimble. sit would be bimetal-
lism on the books, but monometallism
in the markets. Such a radical change
in the standard by which values are
measured threatened a change in all
business transactions that practically
no business has been transacted dur
ing the discussion of the question ex-
cept such as was absolutely neces-
sary."
care you satisfied with McKinley's
clection?" Mr.. Trimble was asked.
81 am not rejoicing over the cleo
ton of Mckinley, but 1 am rejoicing
over the defeat of Organism"
"How the Missouri landslide?"
"The result in this State is just as 1
expected it would be, except as to the
majorities. The national and state
tickets received larger majorities than
l thought they would, which shows
that a good many Republicans voted
the silver ticket"
SHOW about your own campaign?"
81 am satisfied with the result of my
own canvass. We only expected to
place the issues before the people,"
"What will be the future of the So
called National Democratic party?"
"There will be some conferences
held to determine upon a line of ac-
ton. 1t is safe to say the organization
will be maintained"
what do you estimate the strength
of the movement to be in Missouri"
"Thirty-five thousand"
"How do you arrive at that con-
c~lusion?"
"From observations while travelling
over the State. There were many
Sound money Democrats, however,
who voted for Bryan in order to stay
with the party. In my own case, I
have no complaint to make OF my
treatment by the people of the State,
except that the silver men did not turn
out to hear me more generally"
"Will you be a candidate for any
thing at McKinley's hands?"
"Nothing whatever. I want no office,
and never expected any. If the Re-
.publicans want to please the gold
they will devote their en-
ergies to electing Carlisle United
States Senator in place of Blackburn.
Nothing would worry Blackburn more
than to see his old seat occupied by
Carlisle"

THE Beet Sugar industry.

j.. F. Lleweilyn furnishes the LED
GER the following interesting data re-
garding beet sugar: In 1912 Napoleon
ordered 100, 600 acres planted in beets
for sugar. In 1880 France only had
beet sugar. In 1876 Europe produced
10 million tons of beet sugar, which
has been increased to 31s million tons,
with an acreage in Germany of 70O,0 900,
employing $1,000 persons. Even
Argentine has passed from an i'm
porter of sugar to an exporter, pro-
ducing $4,000 tons. In the United
States there r eight factories-two
in Nebraska, one in Wisconsin, one in
New Mexico, one in Utah and three In
California, producing 10000 tons of
sugar, paying the growers $50 per
for beets. In Nebraska a load of
oats sold for 1925; a load of beets
sold for "a. 00.

Remedy for D1phtheria.

Correspondence of the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo-, November 2.-StriI
from well smoked uncooked ham q
portion of the skin, tearing it off SC
that the fat grains will adhere. Cut
this to fit the throat, following it fol
the front and allowing a portion to
rise high to each ear. Bind this on
the throat, the greasy side next the
flesh, and renew every four hours.
Administer twenty drops of muriated
tincture of iron three times daily, re-
ducing the dose if the child is less
than seven years old. Gargle the
throat with flowers of sulphur water
or blow flowers of sulphur gently in
to the throat through a quill, or burn
a minute portion of sulphur on a
shovel and let the patient inhale the
fumes.
Repeat the sulphur treatment three
times daily. Keep the patient in bed,
the feet warm, the head cool, the room
well aired. Foul air is death in diph-
therla. Let the food be ice cream or
dessert spoonfuls of cream, or pure
calf's foot jelly, or raw eggs and loaf
sugar well beaten and administered
half an egg at a time, four times daily.
This treatment we believe to be infal-
lible in d~iphtheria. 1t has cured the
most obstinate cases and if the house
where the disease appears is at once
well washed, fumigated well with sui
phur three days in succession and
drain pipes and sewerage are at once
attended to we believe there is no
probability of the disease proving fatal
spreading. DIphtheria is a disease
of drain origin. The sulphur in this
kills the poison spores root
ed in the throat. The iron strengthens
the blood to resist them and to give
them no roothold.

Catarrh Means Danger.

Because if unchecked it may lead
directly to consumption. Catarrh is
caused by impure blood. The fact is
fully established. Therefore, it is USE
less to try to cure catarrh by outward
applications or inhalants. The true
way to cure catarrh isto purify the
blood. Hoods Sarsaparilla, the great
blood purifier, cures catarrh by its
power to drive out all impurities from
the blood. Thousands of people testify
that they have been perfectly and
permanently cured of catarrh by
