Leading Republicans of the West, in
Guiding party managers, are now loud in
their complaints of Mark Hanna's ways
and games, and especially of his inter-
ference in the Senatorial elections. His
tactics, they allege, defeated Dubois in
Idaho, who is stiff protectionist as we'll
as a radical silver Republican, and
secured the election of Populist who is
something CT free trader and cannot
be relied upon to vote for the Mckinley
tariff at the extra session, while Dubois
would have done so. Mark Hanna
knows little about politics save that
human greed on one side and large
amount of cash on the other will ac'
complish results. He is a type OF the
most odious elements that debauch
American politics. Such cattle generally
sink to their proper level, and Hanna is
in fair way to do so. There seems to
be no doubt, as the information comes
from Republicans, that Hanna has been
intruding his dictation and his money
bags in all the Senatorial contests this
winter that are close or holly contested.
He is of the kind that would take a CON
tract to buy up Legislature as readily
as would Quay or Platt.-Pittsburg Post

FABLES UP TO DATE.

One day thrifty squirrel was vending
his way to the Office of banker to de.
posit his store of nuts. Suppose that
the banker should fall" said doubling
crow; "then your fortune would be
wiped out, and you would be forced to
go into the zoo or on the stage. Better
keep your winter nuts in your own
home"
81 know me biz" said the squirrel,
sulkily.
Two weeks later the bank failed and
the crow met the squirrel and remarked:
81 told you so. Next time you will take
my advice, suppose"
"Nit," said the squirrel, Two days
later the squirrel, being one of the
heaviest depositors, was named as re-
ceiver for the wrecked institution. Al
though the banker had carried away all
he would need during his life, there was
a plentiful supply Of nuts left in the
vault, and for eight years the squirrel
lived without work, while settling up the
affairs of the bank.
Moral: The receiver of stolen goods is
not molested if he is first appointed by a
court.-Truth.

1t seems the selection Of Mr.. Gage OF
Chicago, for the treasury department at
Washington is not very well received by
the Republican leaders. One OF his
mortal sins seems to have been voting
for Grover Cleveland against Blaine in
1884, and hence they regard him of un-
certain politics and rather of the mug
wump order. OF course he has had no
training in Legislature matters, his busi-
ness having been that OF banker entire
ly. They do not seem to think that his
experience has been such as to qualify
him for the important post of secretary
of the treasury of the United States.
Mr.. Gage, however, may fill the bill
creditably as Daniel Manning did during
Mr.. Cleyeland's 5 first term.

COOPERATION IN ENGLAND.


Cooperation In England has made
remarkable progress, but in the United
States has never been success. The
cooperative Wholesale society of Eng.
land, whose headquarters are at Man
chester, has just issued its annual for
1897. The sales during last year
amounted to over $50, 100000 and the
society had in its employ over 1000
persons. From Manchester the retail
societies, scattered ell over England, are
supplied. 1t has purchasing agents in
the United States and Canada from
whom -four, butter, cheese and bacon
are obtained.
Almost all countries are drawn on
for special products. 1t buys heavily
in Ireland where 1t owns and operates
several large creameries. Its trade with
the continent is maintained by seven
steamers which visit the ports of France,
Germany and Italy. Groceries and
provisions constitute about half the
business the society does.
Various productive departments in
England give employment to some 1000
persons and turn out boots and shoes,
soap, furniture, clothing and woolen
goods. The object is not to make
money, for on the total transactions Of
$50 600, 900 profit OF only 2 per cent
was realized, but to furnish its mem
bers with the necessaries of life at the
lowest possible price. In this policy
the British society has been eminently
successful.
The business is undoubtedly well
managed and from the beginning, many
years ago, has been an expanding sue
cess

CHICAGO, Feb. 2.-Mr. Charles G.

"The report that have been rendered

expectation of succeeding Mr.. Eckels

sion in 1898. can say for myself, and
think speak for all concerned, that l
sincerely hope that Mr.. Eckels may see
his way clear to the retention of his po-
sition until the expiration of his COM
mission. His distinguished services as
comptroller of the currency, rendered
amid so many embarrassments and COM
plications, have earned him the graft

More Details of Ella CIark's Death Near
ApolIo-Shelhammer Dead.
APOLLO, Pa, Feb. 3.-Jasper Shell
hammer, the murderer of Miss Ella
Clark. has died at his home without re-
covering consciousness from the wound
he inflicted ON himself.
A poker was found in the girls right
hand
The young woman had had trouble
with young Shelhammer on the preced-
ing Thursday. when he visited her, be-
cause she would not promise him
something" He threatened to kill
himself, fiourishing revolver at the
same time. She coaxed the weapon
away from him, and kept her parents
ignorant of the affair. Saturday she
returned the revolver TO his mother,
saying: casper threatened to kill him
self If I do not promise him some-
thing"
The young man again obtained the
revolver from his mother and used it in
the murder and suicide. Some time
before this Shelhammer got into trouble
for assaulting a little girl on her way
home from school. Miss Clark's char
acter was above reproach.
The fact that bruises were found ON
his body that had doubtless been made
by the poker welded by Miss Clark,
and that he had threatened to accom-.
plish her downfall, indicated that Miss
Clark yielded her young life in defense
Of her honor.
Miss CLARK was member of the Boil
ing Springs Lutheran church and an
active Sunday school worker.

One aim OF and claim for protective

are still falling at remarkable rate.
