tions depended entirely upon the
intelligence of our peoples; that our
public schools were the peoples col
leges and that they must be SO eff
cient that all classes of children would
be drawn into them. He wanted the
children of the poor and of the rich to
meet on a footing of equality in our
free common schools and become well
acquainted with each other before
meeting in the great battle of life.
Though Mr.. Hanna is to-day one of
the most conspicuous men in the ma
ton, yet he never sought prominence.
His habit has always been to suggest
important movements and then put
others forward to carry them out. He
is always the first to see what is to be
done, to find the right man to do it and
hold himself in the background. His
present prominence is not due to any
desire ON his part. He believed that
the election of Mckinley to the presS'
dency would rebound TO the welfare
and prosperity of the American people
and he set about to accomplish it.
After the nomination he was at once
made chairman of the national repub-
lican committee, and of the executive
committee, and his work has since been
almost part of the history of the ma
tion.
The great political campaign, which
so absorbed the attention of the nation
last summer was entirely conducted on
the republican side by Mr.. Hanna.
From beginning to end it was planned
by him, and every movement of inn
portanee was directed by him. 1t was
he who conceived the idea of having a
branch of the national headquarters at
Chicago, and that alone nearly broke
the backbone of the opposition. 1t
carried the war into, the very heart of
the silver mems stronghold. 1t en-
abled the committee to dispatch speak
ers anywhere in the west almost at a
moments notice. and placed the states
claimed to be safe for Bryan under any
circumstances at the very doors of the
republican managers.
While Mr.. Hanna was in this emf
nent position before the eyes of the
whole country he was still the same
unostentatious man that he had al
ways been in private life; accessible to
the humblest individual, listening at
tentively to all who approached him,
and at the same time keeping a watch
full eye on all the details of a great ma
| tional campaign

liminary campaign attracted attention
to him from all over the country, and
he was elected delegate-at-large to the
St Louis convention. How he man
aged the Mckinley interests at the
convention is history that is so well
known and SO recent that repetition
OF it is unnecessary.
Marcus Alonzo Hanna was born Sep
tember "a, 1887, the second in age of
seven children-IIelen Gertrude, Mar
Gus Alonzo, Howard Melville, Salomc
Maria, Seville Samantha, Leonard
Coulton and Lillian Converse.
Mr.. Hanna is an Ohioan by birth
and has always made this state his
home, He was born in New Lisbon,
Columbiana county, the county adjoin-
ing the home of Prcsident-elect Nc
Kinley, September "a, 1887 and moved
to Cleveland with his father in 1852.
He was then - years old, and the best
occupation open to him at that age
was to attend the public schools, where
he prepared himself for q course at the
Western Reserve college, and passed u
year there in scientific studies. In 1857
Z.
Wholesale grocery, which was doing
an extensive business in the Lake
Superior trade, The entire manage
ment of the affairs of the concern soon
fell upon Mr.. Hanna, and after the
death of his father he settled the
estate and managed all the affairs of
the house During the war Mr.. Hanna
enlisted under Abraham Lincoln's call
for troops, and served four months in
Washington. In 1864 he married Miss
c. Augusta, the daughter of Mr.: Dan
=. Rhodes, one of the pioneer citizens
of Cleveland.
At Mr.. Rhodes death the firm of
Rhodes & Co was succeeded by NJ. A.
Hanna & Co., dealers in coal, iron ore
and pig iron. Though Mr.. Hanna en-
ploys from G,000 to 5000 men, yet the
interests under his control have never
been disturbed by labor troubles. He
has always maintained the most friend
ly relations with his employees.
Mr.. M. A. Hanna is of Scotch-Irish
descent. He comes from long line of
sturdy and energetic ancestors, andhis
family has lost none of its strong COM
mon sense by locating in the new
world. He is genuine representative
of the best type of American manhood.
He has always been republican, never
an ofiice-seeker, never an otiice-holder,
except when "a member of the Cleve-
land board of education. In the occu-
pancy OF that position he soon made
himself conspicuous by his advocacy of
the extension of our public school
system. 1t was a favorite saying of his
that the perpetuity Of our free fnstitu-

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Feb. 27.-The
tug Dauntless had little tilt with the
cruiser Vesuvius Friday. She tried to
leave the river when four blasts from
The Vesuvius' big whistle were heard.
The tug did not obey and the second
and third were blown. Seeing other
preparations made to stopher by force,
the tug yielded and came into dock
again. 1t is believed it was done to
make case against the government
for damages stronger, alleging illegal
detention.
1t is reported Friday night that the
cruiser Indiana is at the bar and will
go south Saturday morning. Her des-
tination is unknown but her presence
here has aroused much comment on
account OF the Cuban situation.

-Four Council Committees met last
evening, with the result that there was
about as large an attendance of mem
bers, city officers and attorneys at the
City Hall as would be drawn together
by an exciting session of Council.
Everything passed off quietly, however,
and the business up for action was dis
posed Of with unusual expedition.
The Police Committee met first and
after recommending for payment police
bills to the amount of 1914, and City
Prison bills TO the amount of S136S3,
the body took UP the question of max
ing a contract for bread for the prison
erS. Heretofore the committee has been
paying &c per loaf, and the bread bills
has run something like $35 per month.
Mr.. HOrkheimer submitted a bid from
Mrs. Emmert TO sell a pound and a
quarter loaf for cents and Mr.. BUGGY
had bid from F. c. Strohman to sell
a pound loaf for 2$4 cents. The result
was a long discussion which ended in
the adoption of a resolution author
izing the clerk to make an investigation.
In the meantime the contract remains
with Mr.. Strohman. A resolution was
adopted ordering the clerk to report to
Council the former action of the Com
mittee in cutting off meals from the
officials at the prison.
The Committee on Scales recon-
mended bills aggregating $2S6.92. An
old 1894 bill from NJ. Altmeyer, for in
80 lot n
table. About forty applications for
the positions of city weighers were
ordered sent forward to Council at the
next session.
The Committee on Ordinances had a
large attendance. Ordinances were
recommended for adoption ratifying the
Legislative Act of February "a. 1891,
giving the city authority TO vacate
streets under certain conditions; order
ing the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company to erect q safety gate at Six
teenth and Main streets, amending the
annual license ordinance by making the
tax on billiards and pool tables S25 for
the first table and $40 for each subse-
Uuent table and transferring Thirtieth
street to the LaBelle Mill Company
in consideration Of the company opening
a new street on the south side Of Cald-
wells run. between Woods and McCol-
loch streets.
The Committee on Streets. Alleys
and Grades recommended an ordinance
fixing the grade of the east end Of Four
teenth street. preparatory to the erec-
ton Of the new school building on that
street.

mand for Silver Literature.
The steady fight that the Bimetallic
Club is putting up for the cause OF
bimetallism is an indisputable evidence
of their deep sincerity and adherence TO
principle. 1t is an exception TO see a
political organization take such an
active interests in politics after they
have met with defeat, but only shows
their confidence in final success and
rughtfulness of their cause. The mem
bers of the club and those who enjoy
its privileges are showing deeper in
teTest every day in the purposes for
which the club was organized, and are
posting themselves thoroughly on all
matters that pertain TO bimetallism and
other governmental subjects. Copies OF
the Register, Cincinnati Enquirer and
other papers are read every day IN the
reading room by the members of the
club, and the copies of the Congressional
Record, which arrives every day, are
eagerly sought after and the daily de-
bates of Congress read from beginning
to end. Very little that transpires in
the national legislature escapes the eye
and consideration of the large number
VINO enjoy the privileges of the club.
In addition to these papers a great deal
of other literature is received by the
club and read with much interest. The
club is arranging for additional public
meetings to be held soon.

As mentioned previously in the Reg
lister. the B. & o. have adopted the unit
freight system which is expected to
make a wonderful improvement in the
method of handling freight. 1t was TO
inspect the freight system on the fourth
division. between Benwood Junction
and Grafton that brought the b. & o.
officials to this vicinity, as chronicled
in yesterdays Register. THE unit sys-
TEN, according to which train load is
computed at so many units, each unit
consisting of 80 900 pounds, will make a
reduction of the number of cars of each
train load on the various divisions.
On the Wheeling and Pittsburg dlvis-
ion il will reduce the number of cars
FIVE: on the Central Ohio division it
will make four cars less; on the Fourth
division it will lessen the number from
three to five. The new system Is eX-
pected to increase the speed II hauling
and making transfers of freight This
will enable the company TO reduce the
time of their freight schedules and will
prevent the possibility of any stall or
the traffic occurring on the road by
the unwieldy size of the freight tram
that the crews have undertaken to haul
under the old system.
