HANNA IN THE SENATE.

On his return from recent trip to
Washington, John w. Tomiinson said in
an interview in the State Herald: mark
Hanna will not be in the senate long, be-
fore he will wish he had never had sena-
torial aspirations" Alfred Henry Lew
is, in the New York Journal. writing
along the same line, says:
It is worth ones while to go up to the
gallery and watch Hanna. Watch him
as his furtive eye runs over the sena-
tors on the democratic side. There are
full forty of them, and Hanna, by some
mighty instinct, knows that every one
of the forty represents woe and grief
for him. There is the high shouldered,
wry-faced west, with tongue like sand
paper. Some acrid day he will torture
Hanna until the blood comes There is
the CHASTITY German, pale and Sphinxish.
Hanna fears him as he looks, and
couldn't tell one why. When some Cor
man-set deadfall of the rules breaks his
back. Hanna will be better posted.
There's Mills. Hanna doesn't like the
scOwl on the Texans savage face. 1t
needs no prophet to foresee that Mills
will some time do and say things that
will start the perspiration on Hanna's
brow. There's Morgan. who, with a
perfect knowledge of senate war will
from the cliffs of a higher nature roll
down upon Hanna his contempt and
n,
DDS.
There's Turpie gray and palsy-shaken,
but with tongue like lancet and a
mind like a fash-lig'ht Hanna finds no
JOY in gazing on Turpie. Hanna is right.
That old and aspen senator will one day
stretch Hanna's hide on the senate fence
with no more of conjunction than he
would bestow on the f1aying of fox
squirrel There's Tillman, with his one
eye blazing a fashion of senate Cyclops.
Tillman will yet find time to tell Han
ma of his past in such rude phrase and
with such frank barbarity as would cur
die the blood of an image. In good sooth
our new made senator is like cub bear.
His troubles are all before him.
Even on his own side of the chamber,
Hanna reads more threats than signs
of succor in the sky. There Is Chandler,
the New Hampshire hen-hawk, with
screech beak and talon to alarm and
tear Hanna. There's Lodge, full OF
lofty malevolence, and to have senate
trouble with whom is like unto running
against the pole of dray. There's Tell
err that added of silver. There's the
dangerous Foraker. Hanna's own col
league All these Hanna hesitates be-
fore, fearing a future of the worst; and
unable, in his mere bent for markets,
prices, selling and buying to fence
against their least assault.
Well, well, we'll; it all makes predica-
ment for Hanna, and induces the ques-
ton, What foolish impulse brought him
into the senate TO become a self-appoint-
ed cockshot for every enemy he has?
Hanna would have woven his cloth
more wisely had he remained away from
the senate. I was myself very glad to
see him come. But that need have fur
nished Hanna no reason for his coming:
Later. as our poor grocer nurses his
wounds and means with the sore MEM
DRY of their infiiction. he will discover
what this is all about Meanwhile Han
ma should watch Plat and Quay. They
mediate the removal of his pelt, and
the process, as voorhees,, might tell him.
is painful.

AMERrcANS IN SAMOA.

The appointment OF Mr.. w. L. Cham
bers, an Albanian, to the position of
chief Justice of Samoa, has drawn at
tention to that little cluster of islands in
the South Pacific. The land is fertile
and number of Americans and Euro
pcans reside there, and have accumulat-
ed fortunes in the cultivation of tropical
fruit. The natives are war-like and in
capable of self-government One revolu-
ton followed another so rapidly that the
natives bid fair to become extinct. The
protection of the whites was necessary,
and some twenty years ago the United
States departed from its policy and en-
tered into an agreement with England
and Germany to maintain protectorate
over Samoa As a matter of necessity
this action on the part of our govern
ment was excusable, but in any other
light it was a bad bargain. We have
been forced to keep a warship there a
good part OF the time, and in other ways
the affair has been in the nature of an
entangling alliance. Several years ago
the great tidal wave that swept into
the bay of Apia tossed the great war;
ships far up on the beach as IL they had
been cookie shells. But one vessel es-
caped--the huge British man-of-war
turned her head to the sea. with a full
head of steam on her powerful engines.
and screaming and screeching like a
demon struggling for life, it struggled
through the wave. now tossed to heaven,
now descending TO hell. and escaped the
destruction that befell its companions.

cHu.D.s CENTURY.

The nineteenth century has been wo-
mans century. and the twentieth will be
the childs century Never before has
there been so much attention paid to
children In olden times they were al
lowed TO grow up as they pleased-as
Topsy said, she lust growed.' They
were considered a visitation of Provi-
dence. and their care was committed to
Providence. If they succeeded in reach
ing maturity it was regarded as divine
interposition in their behalf. If a boy
escaped the jail. he was looked upon as
lucky. If he developed into a man of
prominence, he was eyed with awe. and
his success was attributed to some &C.
cult influence. This explains the curl
osity to know the trivial details in the
lives of great men. But now the child
is sent to a kindergarten as soon as he
can walk The best of talent is en-
ployed in his education in the public
schools Some lovers of children go 50
far as TO say that If a mother is not COM
petent to rear her child properly. he
should be taken from her. All the best
thought of the age, and all the ma
chinery of the state, is directed toward
the proper education of the child. The
coming child will be the wonder of the
age.
One of the prophets predicted that the
day would come when 1.-The child would
be an hundred, years old" That day is
almost here. The child of today knows
more than the man a hundred years old
once knew. The thought of the age is
turning toward the education of the
child. What will be the effect upon the
child? Will he not become proud, self
willed, domineering? Will he not lose
much of that child-like simplicity SO
charming? VIII he not know too much?
His desire to partake of the fruit of the
tree of knowledge may Danish him from
Edenic purity. Will he not lose much of
his sturdy self reliance of character by
being pampered too much? If knowl-
edge must be gained at the expense of
natural graces of mind and character
then it may not be so desirable. Per-
haps if Christ lived today he would not
say except We become as little children
we cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. -

Professor Munyon is honored today as
the leading authority in the medical
world. His new and humane methods of
treatment have swept away all the old
fashioned ideas of doctoring with poison
GUS drugs that create dozen diseases in
the effort to get rid of one. He does not
claim that he has one remedy that Will
cure all complains, burt that he has pre-
pared a specific cure for nearly every dis
ease. He does claim that Munyon's
Rheumatism Cure will cure rheumatism;
that Munyon's Dyspepsia Cure is posi-
tive cure for dyspepsia and all stomach
troubles; Munyon's Cough Cure cures
coughs; Munyon's Catarrh Remedy cures
eatarrh: Munyon's Kidney Cure cures
kidney troubles. The same may be said
of all Munyon's different remedies. They
may be obtained at all drug stores, most
Iy at 25 cents bottle.

The Tennessee river is ON the rampage
here now, higher than at any other pc
riod for some time, and has caused all
low land along its banks and the banks
of the tributaries to be overfowed. This
will give the farmers a great deal of ex-

DESPAIR.

Despair is like the autumn breeze.
That wood the green leaves ON the trees,
He kissed their cheeks It'll they turned req
And changed their green to brown instead.
He tore them from their resting place,
And tossed them into chilly space,
Those restless leaves are soon grown old,
And lie in heaps of drifted mould.
They form the womb in which shall grow
New buds and leaves for future blow.
Then friends, from nature learn this truth
Death is the birth of heav'n's youth.
And IL LIES chilly mould of care,
Into your heart invite despair,
Hone on, twill bring glad surprise

thus refers to the estate of the late Mr.

1t is proba Bile tha: southern republicans
will be more generally recognized by
Mckinley than they have been by any re-
publican president since the war. Here
tofore there has been but little hope OF
building up strong republican party
in the solid south. Now there is a better
chance, owing to the action of the gold
democrats. Three southern states are
now virtually republican. as the last cleo
ton showed. The carpet-baggers who
came south after the war did not receive
that recognition from the administration
that they expected. They were smart
men-there was no discount on their in

pulous-yet they did not receive federal
patronage

Senator George Turner, of washington,
has been interviewed. He says that
after the war he came to Alabam and
upheld the principles of the republican
party in the face of all opposition; but
that he became Disguised with the re-
publican party in 1876, when Hayes
turned his back on southern republicans
and favored the Ohio contingent, and
also in 1884, when Blaine went back on
the southern republicans. The remarks
of Mr.. Turner, being translated, mean
that he was republican in the south
for the sake of office, and was not recog-
nized by the northern leaders. He went
from Alabama to Washington, turned
populist and was elected senate

Joseph w. Bailey of Texas, was nomi-
mated by the democratic caucus yester-
day for speaker of the house on the first
ballot, being opposed by McMillin and
Bland. Mr.. Bailey, while one of the
youngest members of the house. is con-
sdered among the ablest. He is an ar
dent democrat and a strong advocate for
the free coinage of silver. During the
recent campaign his clarion voice was
heard across the continent, and no man
on the stump outside of Bryan himself
did more effectual party service. His
speech in Birmingham was considered
the best made in this city during the
campaign. and was highly complimented
at the time by quite number who did
not agree with the principles he advo-
Gated His nomination for speaker was
wise choice, and the day may come when
he may be not only elected to this hon
orable office, but one of higher rank.
