MIGHTY OPEN AIR MEETING.
One of the Features Arranged for the
Queens Jubilee Celebration.

The forecasts of the queens jubilee
progress through London which are
appearing in the press are ventures on
probabilities. None of them has Of
fetal sanction. Some of them are abb
surd. The open air solemnity in front
of st. Paul's is said to be arranged be-
cause of tine queens laneness. She is
to sit in her carriage, so the story goes,
while the mighty congregation around
her and extending far away through
adjoining streets joins in prayer and
praise. Some features of the royal
progress can accurately be foretold.
The eight cream-colored horses, never
seen unless at the grandest ceremonials,
will draw the queens carriage. The
procession from buckingham palace to
ST. Paul's will include most of the per-
s0na~ca and notables of the jubilee pro-

SENATOR HANxEY's ILLNESS.

Senator John II. gankey who is 9
candidate for reelection rs Senator fol-
this district, has not been able to en-.
gage In the political contest this fall
for reasons over which he has no con.
trol.
Just prior to the opening OF TIE fall
campaign Senator Hankey went to Col.
orado on business, expecting to return
in good time to take up the work of the
campaign. Almost upon his arrival al
Denver he was seized with an attack oi
fever, and his wife at once went out to
care for him. In his anxiety to return
here he got up too soon and suffered q
relapse and was for some time very ser.
iously i'll. He is now slowly recovering
but his physician says it will be impos-
slble for him to return in time to take
any part In the campaign.
Mr.. Hankey is a hard and conscien-
tious worker and his Illness has un-
doubtedly been aggravated by his un-
easiuess by being forcibly detained
from taking any part in the campaign.
II such thing were possible he
would be here using his best efforts for
the success of the entire Republican
ticket.

The trick OF publishing day after day
on the editorial page of the Cincinnati
Enquirer a statement about Senator
Hanna which is known and proved to
be absolutely false and malicious is kept
up without the slightest regard for truth
or decency. Efforts to influence the
labor vote against Senator Hanna are
made by the trick of reiterating sim
gle statement regarding his attitude
toward labor organizations, which state
ment is proven false by the utterances
OF labor leaders in both parties, and of
thousands OF mon who have had the
practical test OF years in his employ.
Tho attempt is made to prejudice
voters against the Republican party
by the trick Of charging that party with
the responsibility for Pacific railroad
transactions which were authorized
completed months before the Mckinley
administration came in power.

Speaking of 'labor records" there is
q marked difference between the rec
ords of the Senatorial candidates, John
r. Mclean and Mark A. Hanna. Mr..
Hanna employs nearly five thousand
men, with pay roll of ten thousand
dollars 100000 per day, paying out
nearly all of this in Ohio, bringing to
this state for manufacture the ore and
other raw material which he must OBJ
tain elsewhere. On the other hand
John r. Mclean has for the past fifteen
years taken out of Ohio all of the large
earnings of his newspaper, for invest
ment in other parts of the country, en-
ploying only a handful of men in this
State, and transferring to other locali-
ties, not only their earnings. but the
earnings of all his enormous properties
and monopolistic interests.

Capt. Charles O'Neill, Chief of the
Bureau of Ordnance of the Navy De-
partment, is opposed to the establish
ment of government plant for the
making of armor plate for our fighting
vessels. He says in his annular report
to Secretary Long: "The Bureau is OF
the opinion that the government can
purchase armor more cheaply than it
can make it. The Bureau regards the
making of armor as proper adjunct TO
a great commercial steel plant. For
eign practice confirms this view, and
even should the department acquire a
plant OF its own, the chances are that
1t would be at great cost, and that it
would lie idle a part OF the time and
thus suffer great deterioration, and
that the expense and difficulty of oper-
atlng it when needed, would more than
Offset any advantage gained by such
ownership.

The designs on three kinds of paper
money issued by this government are
very confusing and are often used to
advantage of swindlers who make a
practice of raising notes and passing
them in crowded places or upon igno-
rant or unsuspecting persons. A new
plan will soon be adopted making one
design for all the notes of the same
value. which design will be SO simple
and distinctive that it will be impos-
sibie to mistake a one dollar note for a
