INVNETED A LOCK.
A Mankato Man Receives Favorable
rlention.

The following is from the Washing
ton, d. c., National Recorder of Feb. 6:
Mr.. Frank M. Wanger, of Mankato,
Mimi, is the inventor of highly i'm
proved lock, for which he has received
a Wedderburn medal of genius. Mr..
Wanger is native of Germany, being
born in that country thirty-two years
ago, removing to the United States
when in his nineteenth year. De-
spite adverse circumstances, by perse-
verence and industry, two qualities
never despised by the business man,
Mr.. Wanger succeeded in his labors,
and in the mechanical line of work to
which he was naturally inclined and
unusually we'll adapted. After some
years of experience in shops employ
ing almost wholly mechanical tools,
the idea of an improved lock was sug-
gested to him, and never losing, or
rather never failing to embrace an
opportunity to improve himself, he at
last succeeded in giving to the public
most successful device of the char
acter stated. Devices born of neces-
sity and suggested by evident i'm
provement on that certain article,
are essentially the best placed on the
market, and Mr.. Wanger is not the
least of these. We beg to tender our
best wishes to Mr.. Wanger's, and feel
that we can assure him that the sue
cess of his prese Mt invention will
materially aid him in developing his
other ideas, and in seeking protection
by letters patent for the same.

HANNA'S POWER,

In view of the fact, now conceded, that
Senator Sherman has been forced to ac-
cept Boss Hanna's ultimatum and quit
the senatorial chair, the appended press
telegram note the date-.is significant,
indicating Hanna's ability to squeeze even
the greatest of his party into submissive
action
cleveland, Ohio, Nov. ga close
friend of Chairman Hanna to-day ex-
planned under what circumstances Mr..
Hanna would accept place in the cabinet.
'Mr. Hanna he said, will either 60 into
the cabinet or he will be the next Repub-
lican United States senator from Ohio.
Mr.. Hanna's course must be decided by
Senator John Sherman. Both the chair
man and Mr.. Mckinley understand that,
and they are waiting to learn what posi-
tion Mr.. Sherman will take. Mr.. McKin-
ley wants Mr.. Hanna to accept the treas
ury portfolio, but Mr.. Hanna has other
aspirations. He believes it would be a
greater honor to be senator from Ohio
And accordingly Hanna is to have the
senatorship. Nothing that has developed
during the brief yet most extraordinary
public career of this man Hanna more
forcibly serves to throw light upon his
real character than this single incident.
After serving for more than generation
as the head and front and leader of the
Republican party himself remarkable
man in many respects, John Sherman is
forced to step aside and lay down his
party lifework on the floor of the U. S.
senate at the dictation of Mark Hanna.
To our mind there is something sadly IN
American in all this. 1t shows an evil
tendency of the times, this success of
party bossism, but the fact remains that
this single coup of Hanna's stamps him
as the most tactful and mastery politician
of the age. Certainly Hanna has no
parallel in American history.

COUNTY REFORM.

The Albuquerque Democrat should not
persist in deliberately undertaking to
mislead it's readers as to the New MEx1-
CAMS position on the subject of county
reform. This is the second time we have
been forced to call attention to this fact,
and it is not pleasant, but If the Demo-
GRAFT is not able to comprehend plain
English, the fault is not ours. The New
MEXICAN is heartily in favor of county
reform, and desires to see all county sala-
ries reduced where it can be done without
crippling the public service, but it is of
the opinion that just and equal assess
ments, honest collection Of taxes and a
general pruning down of the list of Of
foes will accomplish this far more justly
than making wholesale horizontal re-
duction in all county salaries.
Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1897-01-20
To Encourage DEVELOPMENT.

Every man having the welfare of New
Mexico at heart, and who has any "pull'
with an U. S. senator, should not let the
sun of another day go down without
writing to Washington to urge favorable
action, on the part Of the senate, on "Cat-
ron's alien law" Its passage means un
told benefit to our territory. Nothing
will advance US to statehood with equal
rapidity; no legislation is more needed
than that which will turn loose floods OF
foreign capital over the length and
breadth of this fair domain of ours.
In New Mexico are opportunities for
the safe employment of capital second to
none in the west. With the "Catron alien
law" given to US, foreign money will come
for investment, beyond all question, as ii
did and is now doing in Colorado. Why
not, when we have greater inducements to
offer than our neighbor ever had? Why
not, when properties and investments are
to be had at lower figures than ever be-
fore?
The Optic puts it to everyone having
any influence, no matter how little, that it
is public duty each one owes to the other
to push along with personal appeals a
matter of such vital Importance to the
