THE A OF OHIO.
Boss HANNAH vulgnrity and Dema-



Senators Foraker and Hanna, at Bur-
ton. O., made a joint offer to convince
the people hat Hanna is the best man
in that great state to succeed the emf
nent Sherman, and worthy of a place
even among those illustrious senator's
of the past-Ewing and Wade and Cor
win, Chase and Pendleton and Sher~
man.
In frank and fulsome praise of Han
ma, Foraker was not so extravagant rs
Hanna himself. Still Foraker let drop
no hint of his hatred and jealousy
of his rival for the control of the Ohio
republican machine. And together
this precious pair succeeded in proving
beyond a doubt that, while each is o
fit colleague for the other. neither ID
worthy of a place for which dignity,
sincerity and craftsmanship should
be indispensable qualifications.
Hanna's speech will be a shock to
the moral sentiment OF the country.
There have been other senators and
other senatorial candidates of the type

The boy wa trembling in every limb

The boy was trembling in every limb.
"Oh- Max! Dear Maxi" he cried. You
can't catch u.s." Then, recalled by his
fathers touch. "Why, papa. We mus,
stop the boat. so he can catch up"
The girl reached out her hand and
took hold of Jacks. She said nothing.
but her teeth were pressed tightly
against her lower lip, and the big. brown
eyes were beginning TO fill.
The only apparently uninterested per-
son on the boat was the captain. The
awning had not yet been spread over the
deck. and he could plainly be seen stand
ing in the pilot house. Towle turned
toward him and called out: IL say, cap
tain, can't you slow down. and let my
dog come up with us? lie won't go
back, and I'm afraid he cant hold out
much longer"
The captain turned from the wheel
for "A moment, and glanced lazily toward
the dog bravely padding away for his
life.
"Oh, he'll get along well enough. He'll
soon give up and go back. can't stop
for a dog"
Murmurs of indignation were heard
on every hand. Jacks face bore a look
Of the most complete surprise at the
discovery that the captain could pos
sibly refuse to stop for Max's sake. The
sympathetic tears in Priscilla's eyes
turned to glittering evidences of deep
Indignation, as she stamped her foot,
and seemed about TO speak. But Towle's
words came first:
II don't ask you to stop for the sake
Of the dog" said he TO the captain. I'll
make it well worth your while to slow
down a bit"
Yes. indeed" chimed i'm a young fell
low who had been growing particular
ly interested in the situation. "Be-
sides" he went on, raising his voice 50
that the captain could not fail TO hear,
"it makes no difference except to your
passengers if we get in a few minutes
late, and If we don't care, why should
you?"
That's what's the matter." came
loudly from the little crowd that was
now facing the pilot house. This up
rising of the whole ships company was
more than the captain could quietly en-
dure.
Leaving the wheel to his mate, he
stepped out on the hurricane deck, and
looking down upon the passengers, hi:
hands in his pockets and determination
in his eye. blurted out:

"
Upon President Mckinley alone rests
the blame for the disgraceful act Of his
administration in appointing to the inn
portant post of naval officer of the Gus
toms at New Orleans Henry Demas, .
disreputable negro politician.
In a case of this sort the president
cannot shift the responsibility to the
shoulders OF too plant subordinates;
nor can he offer as excuse for the blum
der personal ignorance Of the unftness
Of the appointee. The best citizens OF
Louisiana. irrespective Of politics,
Joined in a protest against D.mas. They
sent delegations to the president armed
fully with the private and official rec
ord of the man. He made the appoint
ment with a full knowledge OF Demas'
character. Proofs of the facts were
laid before Maj. Mckinley and are now
in his possession. and he has admitted
that he has read them and "was wor-
ried" by them.
With all these facts before him il will
naturally be asked why the president
Of the United States should have raised
TO official dignity a man whose mode OF
life Is a constant offense to decent peo-
pie. The answer is not far to seek.
The president made the appointments
fulfill a bargain made between Demas
on one hand and William Mckinley Os-
borne and Mark Hanna on the other.
Demas and several of his "pals" were
pledged and even sworn to support
Reed in the St. Louis convention, and
Osborne bought Demas with cash fur
nished by Hanna and a promise OF this
Office.
President Mckinley has now made
himself an active partner in this bar
gain, shocking in itself, but vastly more
shocking in view Of the character of the
man with whom the president Of the
| United States has locked arms.
The appointment is so insulting to
| common decency that all elements OF
Louisiana citizens are preparing to tight
| confirmation in the senate. From re.
ports of the widespread Indignation
which II has aroused in Louisiana it u
| evident that the act has not in it even
| the poor merit of good politics." While
the affair is lamentable and in its wick
edness amounts 10 a national disgrace,
vet there are in il the possibilities OF
good TO the country. 1t is another ex-
emplifcation of the. dangers of syndi.
cate politics, especially when controlled
by a man like Hanna. 1t will also in
working out disastrous results TO Me-
Kinley and his party impress upon the
minds Of all politicians the truth of the
old Latin proverb: Nothing is profit
able which il not honest."-St. Louis
Republic.

The recent heavy outflow OF bread
stuffs and the diminution of imports
of merchandise due to overstocking be-
fore the passage of the Dinglcy law are
reflected in a very remarkable foreign
trade statement for August. Exports
of domestic merchandise exceeded
those Of the corresponding month last
year by $4,000. 900. On the other hand,
imports were the smallest recorded In
any month for more than Is years, so
that the merchandise balance in our
favor for the month is nearly $40, 0O0,-
900. For the eight months of the cal
endar year ending with August the
exports were 500. 900. 900 larger than in
the same period Of last year, but the
thrush Of foreign goods in advance Of
the new tariff legislation results in ar
increase of s75,0o0.oo0 Of imports, so
that the balance for the eight months
is s14,50o.ooo against us. II Is notable
that Of the $4,000. 900 increased i'm.
