EVERY BODY now, as all intelligent
people, familiar with human nature,
who paid any attention to the matter,
have from the first, knows that Mr..
Mark Hanna will be the next U. 5.
Senator from Ohio. Indeed, under the
existing circumstances, there never was
any reasonable doubt of it. A man able
to buy the Presidency for q friend,
could not be unable to buy Senator
ship for himself, especially as, in addi-
ton to his money, the whole immense
influence and power of the incoming
administration is being exerted in his
favor. Bad enough will Mr.. Hanna be
for Senator, but there is no doubt of
the fact that he will be fair represen-
tative of the majority by which he car
ried Ohio for Mr.. Mckinley at last falls
election. 1t is also plain to observant
men that the new Senator from KeL-
lucky will be republican.

IT NOW appears that no fewer than
two thousand Moslems, mostly unarm-
ed men, and women and children, were
massacred by calledChristian Greeks,
in the town of Sitia, in Crete. The
bloodthirsty murderers, however, are
made to appear by their ill-informed
sympathizers in this country as noble
patriots and worthy descendants of the
brave man who defended the pass OF
Thermopylae. But ignorance and
prejudice prevail throughout the world,
and there is no good reason why they
shouldn't do so in the United States as
we'll as everywhere else, notwithstand-
ing their free schools and cheap news

MONDAY EVENING. FEB. %, 1897

YESTERDAY, THE 2lst, was good
day to STAY 10 the house and read the
Bible and Washingtou's Farewell Adj
dress. Those who did the latter, and
aid never done so before, or had tor
gotten its contents, must wonder at
the absolute disregard that is paid in
these latter days to the wise advice OF
the most efficient friend the country
ever had. Indeed, judging from the
way in which the money in the Treas
ury is squandered and the continued
interference in the affairs of foreign ma
tons. it seems that the prevalent idea
is to make the disregard referred to as
conspicuous as possible, for though ne
enioined The strictest economy In gov
ornamental expenses, the present Con-
gress has appropriated nearly million
more than billion dollars, at least half
of which could have been saved, and
though his warning against the dan
ger of meddling with the concerns OF
other countries is emphatic, jim
goism is rampant, and within the
last year or TWO the many who
advocate that policy would have
involved the United States in q
war with France for imprisoning ne
gro convict in Madagascar, with Great
Britain, for boundary line between her
possessions and those Of Venezuela in
South America, with Turkey, on ac-
count of her rebellious subjects in Ar
menia and Crete, and with Spain
in behalf her negro and scalawag insur-
gents in Cuba. Though on the perilous
verge of war several times, the conser-
vatsm of the native population has
been sufficient yet awhile to stave oil
actual hostilities, but how much
longer it will continue to be able to do
so. in view of the increase both in the
number and discomfort of the voters, ii
is impossible to tell. 1t is feared this
country will learn to its sorrow, and
that too before the lapse of many
years, that progress is not prosperity

EEILS oF OUR RAILROAD

An..sther aad much more serious source of dissatisfaction is the chao- tic conditions of our methods of transportation. The simple fact that so large part of the price of coal and grain when they reach the customer has been made necessary by the cost of transportation is Q matter of very widespread diseon- tent and complaint. tis quite pos sible that the railroads are not earn ing more than they ought to earn but itsseems nevertheless to be true that combinations have been made, and still are made, for the purpose Of destroying competition and keep ing up the price of transportation even over roads which are able to pay dividends on capitalization greatly in excess of the cost of con struction. No doubt our railway system has been made enormously expensive by the construction of lines that render very small re- turn upon the capital invested; but the fact that branches remote from the center of traffic are unable to pay dividends would seem to furn- ish no-just reason why some Of tl.e trunka lines should keep their charges so high as to enable the cor porati6ns to pay large dividends upon the capitalization amounting to many times the cost of construe- tion. The subject, of course, is not without difficulties, but unless the signs of the times are all awry, ,legis- lators wilt have to grapple with them and make provisions for their alleviation. They should receive serious attention, not only of Cong. ress, but the Legislatures of all our States. Railroads are practically monopolies, and the time has come when the controlling of monopolies by the State must received the most careful attention of our most thoughtful minds.

They referred the legal phrase of tue question to a committee of eminent iurists, and the following is their report on three cardinal questions relative to the project:
 1. There is no legal objection to the State building, equipping, owning and operating Q railroad or leasing it to others to operate.

York City and arrested a party of gentlemen, who were dining, on the charge of violating the Raines law, Commenting on the action of the police, the New York Journal says {;
 "The raid of the police on a party of gentlemen dining at Sherry's is not to be regretted. It was an out rage, of course, an nsolent, inde- fensible intrusion, such as Paris was accustomed to from the moral police" But good will come of it. This city is governed as if it were a village. If the ordinary citizen must stop amusing himself at cer- tain hour of the night, il no citizen may lawfully drink anything on Sunday without degrading himself by pretending to eat meal that is not a meal, why should gentlemen dining at restaurant complain of a police captain, uspecting them of in turing their morals, bursts in to see about it? The raid was of a peice with the whole system of superyis- ion which deprived the citizen of liberty. He is q child to be watched and guarded, and punished for naughtiness. New York, however,  is a metropolis. That ought to con sole the gentlemen whose feast and temper were disturbed at Sherry s. No private house, to be sure, is any safer than q restaurant, but if the rich don't like such espionage they can go to St. Petersburg for a va cation. New Workers who are not rich can stay and stand it. They are used to it. But it is possible they may in time be goaded to re- bellion.
 Had such an intrusion been gis- ited upon Q respectable party of Southern gentlemen, it would have gone hard with the police The people of the South will not sub nit to such petty tyrannies. The instance above referred to shows to what depths personal liberty has been sunk by the insolent police government of New York City un- der the Roosevelt-Parkhurst regime.
