useless for any Republican who took
any part in an attempt to prevent his
election to expect the slightest favor
from him in the way of patronage.
Notwithstanding all this the most that
Mr.. Mckinley could get out of Foraker
was a promise that he would not
personally do anything against the
election OF Hanna. Foraker is still in
Washington and Mr.. Mckinley has
not abandoned hope of being able to
bring sufficient pressure to bear to
get him to agree to call his followers
off and to allow Hanna to be elected.
Secretary Gage now openly admits
that he is in sympathy with the gold
bug self-appointed monetary conference
which assumes the right to perform
the duties properly belonging to Con-
gress in connection with financial legis-
lation, and to emphasize that sympathy
he gave dinner this week attended
only by the members of the so-called
conference and Mr.. H. H. Hanna, of
Indianapolis, who is generally regarded
as the creator of the Indianapolis, con-
vention and of this conference. At
this dinner the work of the conference,
as far as it has gone, and the financial
recommendations in the annual re-
port OF Secretary Gage were discussed.
If these men have time to waste they
have as much right to waste it in this
way as any other. The only good
purpose that will be served either by
the recommendation of Secretary
Gage or of this conference. composed

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18th, 1897.
Mr.. Mckinley has taken hand in
that Hanna middle by personally tax
ling Senator Foraker to task for the
attitude that some Of the prominent
Foraker men in Ohio have taken
against the election OF Hanna to the
Senate. Whether by so doing he hurt
or helped Hanna is as yet matter of
doubt. There was no quarrel between
Mr.. Mckinley and Senator Foraker,
but there was plain talk on both sides.
Mr.. Mckinley said that he knew
Foraker could stop the fight on Hanna
that some OF his personal followers
where showing disposition to make,
if not actually making, if he desired to
do so. Mr.. Foraker did not deny his
power to do so, but retorted by saying
that Hanna had brought it all on HIM
self by treatment of the Foraker and
Bushnell Republicans, and intimating
that he thought it would serve him
good and right if he failed to get
elected to the Senate. Mr.. Mckinley
did not defend Hanna's methods in
dealing with Foraker's friends, but he
made it very plain that the whole

Mr.. Mckinley may or may not have
included Cuban affairs, but, when it is
remembered how he shouted for free
Cuba during the last session of Con-
gress, the following language used by
him after he left the White House is
considered significant: a hope that
Congress will not attempt to conduct
our foreign relations. They are much
better left to the administration. There

THE Olympiam should not be too
severe on the State Auditor for his
tribute to Hon. James Hamilton Lewis,
in the shape of an acrostic in the Sc
attic Times. The sentiment is all
right, if the rhetoric and measure are
somewhat "rocky." Oily should not
be captious on such matters. The
personnel of our State Administration
aim high, if they do occasionally miss
the mark, and that is more than be said
of their predecessors.

One of the difficulties in the way of
extended, or indefinite multiplication,
of results in microscopic, as we'll as
telescope observation, has been that
the increase of power has been at the
expense of clearness of outline, the
diffusion of light being attended with
faintness and often an entire loss OF
detail, but it is claimed that the new
instrument, by the aid of photography
does more than merely magnify, it re.
solves or makes visible outlines that
cannot be seen by the old method
And this opens the door to the posi-.
bilities suggested. 1t extends the
plane of discovery indefinitely. Grant

And the trilllng plant Of piover
Oh, the sweet fields, the wheat fields
And the blue sky bending over,
When the south wind sleeps, and the Wild

And the chickens seek the cover;
The wide field glows with noon-day heat,
The reapers rest meath sheaves Of wheat,
The chirr of the crickets sound as sweet
As the liquid notes of the plover.
Oh the lorn fields. the corn fields,
Aud the gray sky glowing over,
When the north wind blows from the land

A clustering. Boreal rover;
In scattered shocks the soro stalks lie,
Flailed by the wind that hurtles by;
A Dap of wings, q cranes clear cry,
And the echoing pipe OF a plover.
