and Mr.. Mckinley viii prevent any mis-
of that task the President may have a
very heavy share. The House Is bent
upon increasing the tariff. not for reve-
impossible to get revenue from higher
duties, but for party reasons. When its
bill reaches the Senate IL can be passed
only by aid or silver votes. What price
will be asked for those votes cannot now
be told. Whatever IL is. the President

The motive underlying. the hostility OF
certain members of the Senate to the
treaty IS not creditable. Their personal
hostility to the President does not war
rant their opposition TO a measure which
Is earnestly advocated by the great ma
iority of the people and by the business
interests OF the country, almost without
a dissenting voice. such an exhibition
of legislative incapacty has greatly low

selves grievousy disappointed.

Mr. Hanna, # seems Is to succeed Sen
ator Sherman in the Senate Gov Bush
nell makes the announcement of his in
tention to appoint Mr.. Hanna in a way
to leave the impression that It has been
his purpose, ever since IL was certain that
Senator Sherman would be in the cab-
net, to appoint him. What a lot Of talk
there has been about the political situ-
alton in Ohio and about the fight between
Senator Foraker and Gov. Bushnell on
one side and Mr.. Mckinley and Mr.. Han
ma on the other! Some Of the newspap ers
tried to make the country believe that
there was such a bitter feeling between
the Foraker faction and the Hanna fac
ton that Gov. Bushnell would not APP
point Mr.. Hanna senator under any cir
cumstances
The fact seems to be that the news
papers, their informants and corresponds
ents, never had a correct idea of the
political situation in Ohio. The republic
can leaders of the state, instead OF being
at war with each other. are at peace, and
are acting in harmony.
MIR. Hanna is ambitious TO be in the
Senate, and it will be pleasanter for him
there in all probability than it would have
been in the cabinet. AS a member of
the cabinet he would have been attacked
constantly. and. besides. he could not
have rendered Mr. McKinley's admins
tratlon any particular service. AS sem
ator he can DO of very great service to
Mr. Mckinley. He will be the admins
tration leader in the Senate, and will be
able to do a great deal toward having
the policies of the administration adopt
ed. He is not an orator. and. hence, will
not be able 10 defend the administration
when attacked In debate but he is a work
er and will see to it that all of the admin
istrations friends are on hand when need
ed. There win be plenty of senator's TO
do the talking. The senator who talks
the most is not as a rule the most infu-
entail senator. IL very often happens
that his influence is very little. The sem
ators who understand what should be
done and how to do IL are the ones who
are influential. II is quite safe to say
that Mr.. Hanna will be the most infu-
entail man in the Senate with the McKin-
ley administration.

AN UNKNOWN MAN
Found Murdered in Woods Near Marlboro
Monday.

Marlboro, Mass, August 9.-The body
of an unknown man, apparently the vic
tim of murder, which has been secreted in

pulled it aside and saw it covered the
head of man, by mutilation and decay
rendered impossible of Identification.
Near by was blood stained fence picket
These evidences were quickly noted by
the laborer who gave the alarm. The
medical examiner was soon on the spot
and he found that the body showed marks
of having been clubbed to death. The
skull was fractured and the bones of the
face broken. Some of the teeth had been
knocked out and other signs of violence
apparent. From the appearances of the
clothing it is thought the man was Ia
borer. but further than this no theory as
to his Identification could be formed the
body being in such condition as to rem
der such proceedings impossible. An au-
