Circulation Statement.
WASHINGTON, SATURDAY. JUNE 2t
The Suppression of Hanna.

All along we have felt justified in Won
tering what Speaker Reed viii do TO Mark
Hanna when he gets him in chancery; In
other words, when he gets Hanna's Have
meyer bill in conference. We do not lose
sight OF the fact that both potentates are
trust men, but the difference in their posi-
tions is as big both personalities coin
bined, and that is about sixty stone on any
pose of selling them.
The difference is the difference between
h trust debtor-a Judgment debtor who
has declared his ability to pay campaign
debts right out of his clothes, but who has
not tlscuidatetf-anda magnste and autocraU
who is not under the least obligation TO
them a good deal for killing his nomina-
tion and putting up an Ohio manufacturer
under q cloud In his place.
There will be interest quite alarming In
observing what such difference may
lead to in the conference Like all good
Republicans, the majority of the conferees
will pretend that they are aatuated by
the sentiment which the President carries
as a legend on his Templar watch charm.
1t is: '-P D E. Pr Some people say
that this stands for "Pro Dec ct Patria;;''
but Others may take it to mean that the
conference will be d Pretty D. Ex-
pensive Picnic for somebody. Perhaps
it will be SO for the trusts; perhaps only
for Hsnua: possibly for both combined.
Because it is not for nothing that Thomas
b. Reed has sat backin pinguidinous Silence
waiting for his turn at the crank. Per-
sons are not wanting who say that he
has designs on the Hayemeyer gang; that
he proposes to make an object lesson of
the sugar schedule. aud that, at about the
time he gets ready to take a crack at
1t, the tip viii go out to sell sugar.
We are not in the confidence OF the
Autocrat. We merely believe on general
principles that he is very human and open
to conviction. If there Were any tribunal
to try a man in his position for violating
the Constitution, certainly he would be.
Perhaps, therefore, matters may be ar
ranged amicably, but as they stand today,
the consensus of lobby opinion is that
when the conference meets there viii be
retrocession to the Dingley rates, and
that all the elusive Aldrich or the olea-
cinous Allison can do will not stop it.
They must not think that because the
Autocrat is the firm ally of the Spanish
bondhoIdeIs and the Sugar Trust against
domestic fiscal policy.
He IL great man (physicaIlyl !, is Thomas
b. Reed. He is as brave as butcher In
the presence of bound sheep when he
confroats the kind of opposition he has
had to encounter in the suppressed House
of Representatives. What he might be ID
contention with men is quite another
matter For a solution of such a question
we must wait for a new Congress. But he
Is said to be good deal of red Indian
In point of memory, and the conference
will afford him an opportunity'to get even
with some OF the Influences that turned
him down last year.
Perhaps he is too pure to take advantage
OF it. The betting, however, is the other
way.
