There must be something the matter with
all the gorgeous political and social hap
penings which fill the news columns of
American papers, with all the new dis
coveries and smashing of tine-honored
fallacies, and all the incredibly funny
things which happen on this green earth
OF ours. the editor of paper in that
town indulgesin some moonstruck nE:ander-

II the moon were very much larger the
tidal wave would carry the entire ocean
over the surface OF the earth. IL the ear tn
were much larger we could not stand
upright for more than five minutes, and
would have to crawl painfully up hill
Now, OF course, an editor in this free
and glorious age of the world, can think
about these things all he pleases, and
be can write editorials about them to the
full extent of his paper if the adver
tisers don't object, but this sort OF edi
torial makes one think OF the country
preacher who took up an hour and half
explaining that our eyes were placed
where they were by the infinite wisdom
of heaven; for IL they had been placed
in the back OF our heads we could not see
where we were going; and it was very fortu-
nate they were not placed in the feet, or
the hands, or the back of the neck, be-
cause they would be in the way andgethurt.
Such thoughts are lofty and inspiring, but
they should not often be evolved. The

remembered, was elected chairman Of the

can only be wiped out by canceling his

To those who have been familiar with
the previous work of Senator Thurston OF
Hebraskas as the attorney OF the Pacific
Railroads, it was not surprising that he
should announce that he would not again
be candidate for the Senate. ltIuay have
been but a coincidence, but attention has
been called TO the fact that on the day
he made this sannouncementin the Nebraska
convention the reorganization committee
of the Union Pacific road was in Washing
ton trying to complete the scheme which
II is claimed was only made possible by
Senator Thurston lebors during the clos
ing hours of the last session. For many
years Senator Thurston has been the at
torney of the Union Pacific road, and it
was impossible for him to cast Off his
friendship for the road and his prejudice
for those things the road wanted, even
when he was discussing the affairs OF that
road as United States Senator, and
not as n lawyer advocating a cause. 1t
is pretty safe assumption that imrne-
diately upon his retirement from the Sen
ate Mr.. Thurston will at once assume his old
duties as the general counsel OF the Union
Pacific road, and there is little doubt but
that that position pays best financially.

Senator Hanna IS doing all be can to
put Senator Foraker and hs friends in d
cheerful frame of mind so that they win
support the ticket this fall. One method
employed by Hanna IN bringing about this
harmony is in issuing orders that fourth
class postmasters indorsed by Senator
Foraker and his adherents In Democratic
districts shall not be appointed unless
Hanna has passed Judgment upon them
It was long ago agreed between Hanna
and Foraker that in all Democratic dis
tricts the men who were applicants for
office should be appointed who secured
tne Endorsement Of the party organization,
the executive committee. etc. Senator
Foraker has lived up to this agreement.
bat Hanna has gone back on it alto
gether.
Take Pike county, Tor an instance. This
is a stronghold OF Forakerism and not
one of the Foraker men receives the
slightest consideration and not one OF
them VIII receive an appointment either
in the postoffice, internal revenue or
any other branch of the Government
service. One OF these men in that county,
who had received the Endorsement of 90
percent Of the patrons Of one of the smaller
offices aud was turned down on accout OF
his friendship for Senator Foraker, said
TO one of the newspaper correspondents In
Ohio: "a man stands a better chance il
he is a Democrat than any person sus-
pected of being one of Senator Fora
ker's friends 1t looks to me as If Hanna
had no use for our votes, and 1 am in
clined to think he will not get them. He
probably thinks that checks instead Of
votes are going TO count this year.
This is but one of countless instances
that might be quoted TO show how Hanna
is creating harmony in his own party In
Ohio.

The governor of Mississippi is taking his
time n filling the vacancy in the Senate
caused by the death of Senator George, but
there is really little reason why he should
be In much OF a hurry. He has plenty Of
time between now and the first Mundayin
December in which to make up his mind
The best Judgment seems to be that SEN
ator-elect Money will be appointed, as he
received tie verwhelming vote OF the legis-
Iature when he was elected to fill the
full term as, Senator Georges successor
when that Senators S term would have
closed 10y the eXpir alton of the six years.
Still there are others who are exceedingly
ambitious TO sit in the Senate even for so
short a time. Among them, it is said, is
a brother of the governor and might hap
pen that another McLauren win be a
Senator for short time from Mississippi.
Other names mentioned froih time TO time
in this connection are those of ex-Repre
sentative Stockdale, Judge Cutrar, ,exGov.
Robert Lowry and Patrick Henry. Henry

Money, as he is undoubtedly the peoples

O great part OF it, will now either pay

since the first of the fiscal year the

expenditures $S3,6SS,956. The compaH-
son with the same period of last year is
interesting. Then the receipts amounted TO
S54,591 -305 and the expenditures S77 $780,
IA. The deficit for last month was kept
down as much as possible by the refusal To
pay warrants at the end OF the month that

The reertpts yesterday were but $500, GIL,
while the expenditures amounted to 81

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

Reports from Georgia show that the
Republican party In that State Is In a
badly disrupted condition, much OF which.
ii not all, is due to the interference OF
Senator Hanna. The w hites and the blacks
are fighting each other, because the latter
are getting all Of the Federal patronage,
and the few white people who belong to
the Republican party are fast being driven
out. Thisis one OF the schemes of Hanna,
for, il he can once drive out the white
members OF the party, he believes he will
the more easily be able to control the
delegates from that State TO the next ma
tional convention.
Now the oolored Republicans are quar-
reling witt each other over what they be-
lieve 10 be an unequal division of the
spoiis. When A. +. Buck, the Republican
leader OF Georgia. was working the party
for delegates 0@tfe national convention
for Mckinley he was acting as the personal
representative lof Hanna Buck is now In
japan az minister, that being his reward.
Itnow tranEpires that Buck made promises
right and left to ieyery applicant whose
vote he wanted during the campaign for
delegates to the st. Louis convention.
Buck led the Mckinley forces, and for
time the colored Republicans had great
amount OF Hanna greenbacks.
