Vice President Hobart is reported to
have had a conference with Senator For
aker last week, relative to Mark Hanna's
senatorial aspirations, and urged him
to call off his friends who are opposing
Hanna's election. When Foraker replied
that he was not responsible for the action
of his friends and could no, dictate to
them in the interests of Hanna, Hobart
is said to have made the threat, that,un-
less Foraker complied with the admins
tration's request, he would not be per-
mitted to return to the senate, when he
came up for reelection. Thereupon
Foraker replied:
I say to you, Mr.. Vice President, that
if I am alive and a candidate for re-elec-
ton, I may be defeated by one of many
reasons, ana perhaps by efforts of your
self and those for whom you seem to
speak. But if it has come to this pass I
will make few threats myself. If am
to understand that, in view of the facts
I have stated, you and other leaders of
the party are to guarantee to encompass
my failure to succeed myself in the senate,
1 will, in turn, guarantee that there will
not lie single republican congressman
elected IN Ohio next fall, and that Nc.
Kinley will not receive the vote of the
Ohio delegation, nor any considerable
part of it, in the next republican conven-
tion.
Speaking of Christmas gift making
the Minneapolis Times remarks:
A true gift, especially to persons of
mature years-must sink itself in it's
symbolism. The emphasis must be laid
by both giver and receiver, not upon
what it is, but what it expresses. 1t is
the feeling of esteem, of respect, of affec-
tion, of sympathy, seeking all outlet
through the gift, that makes its real pre-
ciousne,s. This it is that throws halo
around the simplest token and makes 1t
more truly valued and treasured than
the costliest gem. AS long as this prin-
ciple underlies our Christmas giving, its
de;icacy and purity will be preserved,
and its real delights enjoyed. But d.
rec,ly the gift itself ceases to be SYM
bol. and comes to be regarded chiefly for
its own sake, it has lost its bloom, Its
beauty and delight. 1t becomes thing
to be weighed and measured, to be val
ued by dollars and by cents, like any
common purchase that can be made at
any time.
At recent meeting of the national
populists at St. Louis the following res
olutlons were adopted as the party's
creed for the next three years:
!. Absolute paper money, based up
on every commodity and resource Of the
nation, full legal tender and receivable
for dues to the United States.
2. Free coinage of gold and silver at
the present legal ratio; the coin debts of
the United States payable IN either at
the option of the government.
8. All money to be issued by the
government and paid out direct to the
people for services rendered or to be
loaned to them at low rate of interest
on safe security, and without the inter-
vention Of private banks, provided that
the volume of the currency shall not ex-
ceed $50 per capita.
4. Government ownership and opera
tion of railroads, telegraph and telephone
lines.
5. The opposition to alien ownership
and holding of land for speculative pur-
poses.
s. Opposition to court.made law.
z. Opposition to trusts. .'.
8. We especially recommend the ini-
tiative and referendum and the impera-
tive mandates.
From Washington comes the an
nouacement that Gov. Clough will be an
active candidate for the senate in 1899
to succeed Mr.. Davis. Also that ex-Con.
gresham j. B. Gilfllan of Minneapolis
will shy his castor into the ring.
Van SAINT has declared himself to be
candidate for governor. The genial
Capt. is evidently afraid the rest of the
people might overlook ''hls insignifi-
canoe" and forget to groom him. And
