concerning the state of popular opinion
Perhaps he is not fully aware even of the
irritation felt by the masses at his past
attitude Of alliance with Spain, d coun-
try which the American people regard
with the most intense antipathy and
ioa thing. This might seem strange to
him, since the inhabitants OF the two
Countries practically are without contact
But the feeling exists, and its reason
is that all Americans regard Spain as
hiceous and hateful survival of all that
was rligEtful. cruel and barharous in the
pelsrcuting, tortnring Dark Ages: as a
rotten and offensive, n morally, physi
cafy and politically degenerate ana de
graded ma tion Of cowardly nIongrels, with
out redeemlng quality. Even the Chris
tan religion which reform they pr0
fesS In their practice, does not abate one
particle Of their heIlish savagery and
cruelty In the scale Of civilization and
humanity they are so far below the
Turks that Comparison is an insult to the
latter. Far frYn being longer allowed
anywhere to IolIute with their presence
one foot of ground in the Western Hemi-
sphere, the highest welfare of nlanl;inl
would be subserved If they were fenced
In, held hcamunicado' in their own
Country, and there allowed to complete
the pr4cess of decomposition in solitude.

If there shonld be good crops abroad, the

said, for the same reason that silver has

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

A prominent Republican who returned
yesterday from Ohio, where he has hVed
for u number of years is authority Tor the
statement that the Republicans are taxing
anything but a favora ole view or the situa-
ton. The chief cause of their gloom
is the condition OF affairs in Hamilton
county. 1t has rarely happened that
any party has carried OHIO without carry
ing Hamilton county. The election OF
1885 was an exception TO this almost
inv ariable< rule but the election or that
year was an exception N many other ways
As Hamilton and Cuyahoga counties and
the aities of Cincinnati and Cleveland
have gone, the State, as a rule, swung.
This gentleman says that IN Hamilton
county. Republican politics is in a state
OF .haos. The bosses are fighting each
other and the rank and file are pulling
and kauling ia antagonistic directions.
There is much uncertainty in the situation
aud the chances seem to be good for tha
democrats to turn the county over once
more and put 1t in the Democratic column
The cause of the break in the party in
that stronghold In the attitude OF Boss Cox,
wto, up To within few weeks before the
FORMER wing OF the party He had been
the leader OF the younger and the more
enthusiastic element and represented that
part Of the party thaJ run the machine
and believed la energetic work, not only
during election time, but all the year
around. This element had no earthly use
for the gum Sine tactics OF Hanna and
the use of money as he applied it, How
ever, in some way Hanna got possession
OF Boss Cox, and when the delegates to
the State convention were elected Cox
ran the machine aud sold it out TO Hanna
This incensed the Foraker men and they

WANTED HIS HAT.
After His Acquitta! the Prisoner
Remembered His Ecadgear.
Pixley in the Times-Herald

PiXley in the Times-Herald.
a Chicago lawyer, who was called
to a small town in the Pennsylvania oil
region a while ago on legal business
became greatly interested in a pris-
oner whom he found there in Jail await
ing trial for murder. The fellow was
a tramp and apparently had not
friend in the oil district or anywhere
else on earth. The case against him.
however. was based entirely on cir
cumstantial evidence, and the Chicago
man believed that it would be an easy
matter to establish the prisoners in
nocence and secure his acQuittal. HaV-
ing had several talks with the tramp,
who told a plain, Straightforward,
convincing story, the lawyer undertook
to conduct his defense solely in the in
terest of justice.
The prosecution made out a complete
chain of discriminating circumstances.
1t was shown that late in the evening
a pistol shot had been heard and pc
destrians who FASTENED to investigate
found a resident of the town lying in
| the street dead, with a bullet hole in
| his head 1t looked like an attempt
ed robbery, which met with resistance
and resulted in murder. Lying beside
the body was an old, battered derby
| hat.
The alarm was given and a search
| was organized, which resulted in the
| arrest of the tramp who was found
| in an alley not far away, and was bare
headed. The hat found by the mur-
dered mans body fitted the suspects
head nicely. But the tramp had no
| revolver.
The prosecution claimed that the
| prisoner had thrown his revolver into
| a ncighboring river after committing
! the murder and the whole case hinged
! upon the identification of the hat. The
tramp explained his bareheaded con-
| dition by saying that he had lost his
head covering while stealing a ride on
a freight train.
The Chicago lawyer denied the den-
stilication Of the hat. He pointed out
| the fact that although it fitted the pris-
| oner it would also fit the prosecuting
attorney and the presiding judge him
self.
| The jury retired and in a few min
utes brought in a verdict of acquittal.
| The prisoner seemed to take the re-
! suit quite stoically He thanked the
Chicago man, added his profound con-
vcton that the latter was "a Dlrd,"
and turning to the court remarked:
Judge may | have my hat now, If
| you are through with it,"

Yesterday afternoon, what might have

by heroic effort on the part of Edward
McGuigan, foreman of The Tribune press
room. City Controller Edward Rob-
inson was taking an afternoon drive in a
sulky drawn by his spirited horse and
when he reached Birch street where the
street cars turn from Cedar to Pittston
avenues. His arms became, as it were,
partially paralyzed from the constant
eXertion of controlling the steed, and un-
able to check its pace it sped along at a
terrific rate. AS he neared Pittston ave
nue. danger of every description arose
before him and he commenced to yell at
the top of his voice for help. Edward Nc
Guigan happened to be passing along
heard his cries and by desperate act
brought the frightened horse to a stand
still. After a short rest Mr. Robinson
revived, and resumed his drive.
