diminution OF the fruit crop if Hanna is
permitted to stay at home. We do believe
there will be less corruption and fraud
practiced on an honest people if a man of the
people is elected to succeed him. 1t will not
disturb business or Overturn our industries if
Mark Hanna is defeated. If there is a
particle of stability in the prosperity that is
coming it will go on in its prosperous course
even if Hanna should die.
That opens up another field of observation.
What if the good Lord in his over.weening
desire to prosper this nation should stop
Hanna's breath Stop it short so that it would
not pump his diaphram any more.
Perish the thought, Suppose he should die
real dead. What on earth would the people of
Ohio do? Where would they find boss?
And the Republican party, what would it do
for support and succoI2 Would all the shops
and factories shut down, the farmers with
hold their seeding, the merchants close their
doors and the market man leave his wares to
rot2 Would the bulls refuse to below, the
cows to bawl, the sheep to blaat, the roosters
to crow and the hens to cackle, should Hanna
be called to cross the Stygian river with
Charon in charge of the boat
These be sad reveries. If Hanna be such a
necessity to our people, if all our happiness
and future we'll being depends upon his return
to the senate, what plight the people are in
and Hanna 80 years old and getting older
every minute. No wonder that this is the
storm center of the political world with all the
foregoing in prospect. Will the people march
into these calamities with their eyes wide
open. Well we are inclined to think they
will. They will even attempt it, knowing
that it will rufile seriously Hanna's placid
temper.

A GROWING SCANDAL.

There will be scandal grow out of the sale
of the Union Pacific railroad by the go yern-
ment equal to that of the credit mobilier which
smirched so many prominent politicians
twenty-five years ago. Commencing with
the Cleveland administration the syndicate
that owns the first mortgage bonds of the
road have so worked their schemes as to
involve the present administration. Attorney
General McKenna already the attorney of the
Pacific railroads and prominently named as
the successor of Associate Justice Field, who
retires on December 1, became identified with
the project to mulct the government out of $780,
5000, through his predecessor, Cleveland's
attorney general.
In this deal, VIII ch has for its sponsors on
the part of the syndicate j. Pierpont Morgan
& Co., the government officials seem deter
mined to sacrifice the public interests in open
disregard of the will of every congress that
has had this question under consideration,
Time and again congress has refused to sacri-
flee the 60 yernment interests in the Pacific
roads. No longer ago than last year, although
Republican house of representatives passed
the bill to sell the road, the senate stood firm
for the government and refused to be placated
by the Huntington lobby, Now, notwith
standing, the refusal of congress to agree tC
the sale of the road the administration hai
made deal with tho Morgan syndicat
whereby the governments interest will b.
sacrificed more than fifty per cent and thu
