Ex-Gov. Morrill, of Kan, who is now
visiting Washington, speaks entnusl-
astically of the financial future OF the
state, and of the political future ne
said: with the restoration OF gooo
times there can be no doubt OF the en-
tiuction of the silver agitation, ana
when that is accomplished Kansas Will
once more resume lis old position as one
of the strongest republi states in the
Union"
Ex-Conrressman Pierce, of Ind, who
is prominently identified with railroad
interests, said to Washington news
paper man: There is undeniable i'm
provement in tie business world IL Is
visible in Indiana and everywhere else
that | have been. This improvement
will go on gradually and in a healthy
way until the country will be as pros
porous as it ever was. | have no douot
that President McKinley's adminlstra-
ton will mark an era of good times anu
great activity in all lines of business
The country has been slow to recover
because it was like mau who had been
enfee bled by long illness; the process
of recuperation with nation as with
an individual, is often tedious: but once
nation gets on the road to GONZALES
ence there is no fear that complete
cure will not result. We are on that
road now"
1t is supposed that every imaginable
kind of a lie had been told about Sena-
tor Hanna, but a brand new one was
started upon its rounds when 1T was
telegraphed IRON Washington that Mr..
Hanna had moved his quarters from
hotel to the White House, in order to
! esca pc the office-seekers, and even the
| furnishings of the room alleged to have
| been assigned him in the White House
were described under the name of the
prince of Wales room" ltis needless
| to say TO sensible people that Senator
Hanna has not moved to the White
House and has no intention of dong
so, although he reserves the right to
visit his old friends, Maj. and Mrs
Mckinley just as often as he pleases
and they find it convenient and pleas
ant to receive him. The object of this
! IL hat Spnu-
tor Hanna was trying to run away
| from the Republicans who wish to see
| him in the interest of their applications
| for office. Exactly the reverse is true.
No man in Washington is easier to see
than Senator Hanna, and no man in
Washington regrets more than he does
the inpossibility of giving appoint
ments to all the applicants who are by
reason of their valuable campaign
work entitled 10 consideration. He
doesn't dodge these applicants. On the
contrary, he often goes out of his way
to see them and to try to help them to
get places and it is not surprising that
he should have become mad enough to
say that this story was the worst and
most damnab bic rot" ever printed about
him.
Those who are familiar with Secre-
tary Shermans speeches in the Senate
do no, need to be told that he is a
master OF vigorous English, when
there is proper occasion for its use,
Those who are not should get copy OF
his instructions to Am bassador Hay
concerning the negotiations with
Great Britain relating to the seal fish
cries, and read it. The paper is not
! likely to please Lord Salisbury, who
! has placed his government in
| position which has com PEELED Secretary
Sherman to charge it with lack OF
good faith, but il will please every body
who likes to see the truth plainly
stated without bluster.
