MIR. SHERMAN's SUCCESSOR.

The situation gains additional interest from
the fact that 1t is generally believed that Gov

the Senator TO serve during the unexpired part
or Mr.. Shermans term will confer the honor
upon NJ. A. Hanna chairman OF the Republic
can National Committee. Mr. Hanna has dis

Republicans throughout the country think him

Mr. Sherman was appointed to the Cabinet by
the President elect solely because he seemed to
be the man for the place. and without any eff

Sherman into the Cabinet to make a possible
opening in the Senate for Mr.. Hanna. Those
who know the President elect know that moth

they also know that no communication on the

The BlOodshed Is for the Benefit OF
Bloodsuckers.
Ignatius Donnelly, in the Representa-
tive, says:
Even the St. Paul Globe (goldbug)
tells the truth now and then-by acct
dent. In it's issue last Monday it said,
speaking of the Turkish and Grecian
conflict:
1--WE say hope because the sympa-
thy of the people is with Greece. It is
universally so in this country. 1t is so
in Great Britain. And ven in Ger
many and Russia we believe that the
alliance with Turkey and the support
of her contention are matters rather of
imperial policy than of popular approx
al. If the people of the civilized world
could have their way there would be no
war, for the Tukish government would
perish from the earth before the setting
of another sun. They are restrained
by the DEGREES of statecraft from the
natural expression of their sympathy
with Greece. For this is, as it has
been called, a bondholders' war. It is
the holders of Turkish bonds who die
tate the policy of the great nations. But
for that the Turkish problem would
have been solved long ago. It was for
the money lender of Europe that hun
dreds of thousands of Christians were
sent to a horrible death in Armenia. It
is for him that this battle is to be
fought, with his greed arrayed secretly
oo Tho e;1o 30 Tho TN,,rJ-, io E,,,o- !,
We hail these truthful expressions
with pleasure. The whole people, and
all the newspapers should unite as one
man against the merciless money lend
ers, who unite the cruelty of wolves tc
the cunning of the devil. They are the
enemies Of the human race.

The collapse of a trust was signal
fed recently by a drop of more than
thirty per cent in the quoted price Of
steel rails. The manufacturer who
made the first cut, an owner of many
blast-furnaces and rolling-mills, had
just formed an alliance with the own
er OF numerous iron-mines. But the
furnaces We're in Pennsylvania, while
the mines were in Minnesota. How,
after the ore had been carried halfway
across tne continent, could the manu-
featured article be sold for less than
the product Of Pennsylvania mines,
smelted and milled at home? Several
factors enter into the explanation. In
the flrst place, the ores mined in the
Lake region'-Michigan, Minnesota
and Wisconsin-are rich in iron, COM
paratively free from deleterious SUBJ
stances, such as phosphorus, and soft
enough to be easily smelted.

Letters received in London from Blu
shire, ON the Persian Gulf, show that
the agricultural population of that dis
tr1ct ascribed the lack of rain to the
evil influence of certain landmarks
erected on account of the Meteorolog-
1cal Survey of India. The survey pill
lars were destroyed before the troops
reached the scene of disturbance. A
heavy fall of rain followed, and the
people were at once sure that their sus-
piclons were correct, and that their
work of destruction had pr%opitiated the
heavenly powers. Twenty of the ring
leaders were bastinadoed by the COVER
nor, to show the people that the Brit
ish authorities as we'll as higher pow
ers nus be taken into the account.
