The appearances are that Mr.. Hanna
will have to work to be elected to the
Senate by the next Ohio Legislature
That States old propensity to divide the
Scholarships between the parties may
break out again. Viii.
1t is almost to be regretted that DR.
Terrell did not make his bequest CON
ditional on Person county raising al
least as much as one-fourth of $4,000
That would have given the people a
more direct interest, and been, in the
long run, better for the county.-Ashe-
vile Citizen.
The managers of the Brooklyn Ele-
waited Company have decided to discharge
all female ticket-sellers on account OF
flirting proclivities.' The managers
seem to have made a mistake in selecting
female ticket-sellers and their action is
an unjust reflection on the sex. 1t is
not necessary to have pretty girls at
every station.
Mr. Ralph III. Graves, on account of
over work, has rendered his resignation
as editor-in- chief of 1.-The Tar Heel, -
the University weely. Mr.. S. s. Lamb
has been elected to succeed Mr.. Graves,
and doubtless his good qualities as stu
dent will give power to his pen. Sue
cess to the Tar Heel.
Apropos of college athletics there is
a hint for college professors in a story
told by Mr.. Lees Knowles, NJ. p, of the
laconic interview which head master
of Rugby held with the boy who led the
school at hare and hounds" Howard,

ran; so did l. You hold the school bags,
Howard; so did l. You don't work,
Howard; | did. You must. Good

The Atlanta Journal takes pleasure
in announcing, as a feature of its Easter
number, to appear next Saturday, April
10, new and charming story, never
before published elsewhere and written
exclusively for that paper by Mr.. Harry
Stillwell Edwards, the distinguished
Georgia author, whose story, Sons and
Fathers" won the Chicago Records
prize of $4,000.

TO him from Ohio as the result Of the
elections in that State became known
Here is sample Of them:
Columbus, Ohio, April 5.
"W. J. Bryan:
'Ohio capital, which last November
gave Mckinley 3,118 majority, elected q
Democratic Mayor and city ticket by
over 300 majority, and means Mark
Hanna's defeat for Senator next winter.
Cincinnati spoke, too. THE PRESS"
/, In q recent proclamation reviewing the
result of this weeks election, Governor
Pingree, of Michigan, states that there
has been a reaction in politics all over
the country. Iowa and Ohio and other
States and cities that gave enormous
Republican majorities last fall have
elected Democratic officers this spring.
/ predicted after the fall election that
the Republican party would never win
another victory for the single gold stand
ard, and / am to-day firmer than ever
in my belief There is "a reaction in
favor Of bi-metallism, which all parties
will be compelled to recognize" In con-
clusion, the Governor says he sees moth
ing in the situation to discourage friends
of popular rights.
The Saturday Review tries to explain
why Mr.. Bayard takes SO much higher
place in the estimation Of the English
than "Mr Russell Lowell" as the Eng
fish papers call him. Mr.. Lowell came
as a poet, man of letters, and wit, while
Mr.. Bayard has made himself known
simply as a gentleman. 1t is peculiar
ity of the English the Saturday Review
observes rather caustically, to rank 8
gentleman higher than an artist, sol
dier or a statesman: therefore the more
Mr. Russell Lowell shone intellectually
the more strictly limited was the posi-
ton he could obtain. The article closes
with the dubious compliment of wonder
that country like America should pro
duce more men like Mr.. Bayard thar
most other countries. It's surprising
that a country like what the SATURDAY.
Review takes England to be should pro
duce any men like Mr.. Lowell ct all.
