The Outlook For Hanna.

Senator Hanna's prospects for election
to the United States Senate are not sueh
as to make him feel joyful. He Is finding
out that patronage and the purseNare not
all powerful at all times. He has the dis
posal of the federal patronage of Ohio and
plenty of money. but he was not able
TO control the organizatio Of the two
houses of the legislature, although the re-
publcans are in the majority. What bet
ter chance has he for securing the sena-
torship?
1t is well understood that the President
wants Mr.. Hanna elected to the Senate,
but he does not appear to have az much
influence in Ohio as he once had. lead
ing republican of the House, who Is OPP
posing Senator Hanna's election, Is from
Canton the Presidents home town. That
would seem to indicate that the President
is losing his grip in Ohio politics.
How would Mr. Hannas defeat
affect the Presidents chances for
denomination? Would the Pres
ident find it difficult to secure
the delegation to the national conven-
ton from his own state? The chances are
mat ne NOulus especially II IL were uHNSi-
stood that Mr.. Hanna was to be his politi-
cal mana ger Much, therefore, is involved
in the defeat of Mr.. Hanna.
1t is not a difficult matter to understand
the republican revolt against Mr.. Hanna.
Since he has been the head of the repub-
licau party he has been domneering and
overbearing in his treatment of state and
county party leaders. He has never at
tempted to win their esteem and good will.
If he could not drive men to do his will
he attempted to bride them-at least,
that is the charge made in some of the
Ohio newspapers. All his resources were
drawn upon. doubtless, in the fight for
the organization of the legislature. He
lost that battle. What ground is there for
thinking that without other resources he
still has good chance for getting the SEN
atorship?
The President will undoubtedly do all
he can for him, but it looks as if what
he could do wouldn't be sufficient to en-
able him to occupy a chair in the Senate.

Settled the Case.

Il was called upon in 1878 to defend a
man who was charged with the most I'M
usual misdemeanor I ever heard of any
clerk entering on a court calendar" SAID
a lawyerf riend from the mountains, &C
cording to the Louisville Post. "A young
farm hand came to me at the hotel, where
/ was stopping, my home being in another
town, but my practice extending TO the
county seat l was then in. The swain told
me he had been charged by a girl, to whom
he had been paying attention, with giving
her measles, she claiming that the disease,
which had been epidemic in the neighboi
hood had been communicated to her by
his kissing her repeatedly, while the de-
PENDANT was recovering from measles. The
girls surly father sued the badly alarmed
defendant for $50 damages, claiming he
had expended that sum in Doctors bills
for the afflicted daughter. My client plead
ed guilty to kissing the plaintiff, but said
he couldn't 'a-hoped it eff he'd ben a-mind
ter, and insisted that he had never had
measles. L tried the case before a kind
hearted old squire, and after the court had
heard the testimony he delivered a long
opinion in which he held that girl as
pretty as the plaintiff would make a boy
risk measles and even dumb chills' to sip
the sweets of her coral-like lips. The
judges Jolly put both sides in a good hui
NOR, and the defendant two weeks later
married the plaintiff and settled the costs
of the suit to appease the wrath of her
father"

From the Denver Evening Post.
Once there was a pretty maiden living in
a Western Eden.
On the grassy plains of Kansas broad
and grand,
Mid the lowing of the cattle first was
heard her childish prattle
And she grew to girlhood in that prairie
land.
She was lively as rabbit, unreflned in
speech and habit,
And was wilder than the antelope at
play.
Fear was always as stranger to this
dashng girlish ranger,
And her laugh would drive the clouds of
care away.
When she'd spring into the saddle, like the
cowboys a la straddle,
What a picture of wild recklessness and
grace!
And in chases after cattle like a war
drums rapid rattle
Fell her bronchos hoofs in their terrific
pace!
In her pretty eyes of azure was a spark
ling light of pleasure
AS she galloped on the roundup Ger the
plains.
And her voice like music ringing softened
down the harsher singing
OF the riders in their rolhclzing refrains.
At the shindys of the ranches where they
danced like wild Comanches,
Every rider sought to swing her in the
whirl,
And the other maids grew jealous when
they saw their steady fellows
Seek 10 clasp the waist of this wild
peerless girl.
In the waltz so soft and dreary she would
lay her cheek so creamy
On the shoulder of her partner on the
floor,
And her eyes would scrap with his'n till
his heart beat in its prison.
And was filled with fires Of passion 20
the core.
Many cowboys tried to win her but the
saucy little sinner
Only laughed to scorn their wild, impas-
stoned pleas;
When the love of one she'd smother She
would quickly rope another,
And would bring him as pleader to his
knees.
But her pleasure now is over, for she
struck a high-toned lover,
And he tanned the spirit of the little eli
He's whiskered freak of nature in tbA
Kansas Legislature,
AND she has TO dress UP and behave her
self.

His Face said Yes.

1t is related of Jefferson. says Success,
that while riding. in company with two
young men, he came TO a creek so swollen
by a shower that the water was up to the
saddlegirths.
A man, standing on the bank with a sad
die on his shoulders, looked at the young
men as they rode into the stream, but
said nothing. AS Mr.. Jefferson came
along, the stranger asked if he could not
be allowed to mount behind and thus be
carried across.
The President refined his horse up to a
stone; the man mounted and, when across,
expressed his thanks and walked away.
Several men, who had seen the novel ferry,
asked
What made you let the young men pass
and why did you ask the old gentleman"
wal If you want 10 know, I'll tell you
I reckon a man carries Yes or No in his
face. The young chaps faces said NO,
the old un's Yes
1T isn't everyone" said one of the party,
"who would have asked the President of
the United States for ride"
What! You don mean to say that was
Tom Jefferson, do you? Wal, he's a fine
fellow, anyway What will Polly say,
when l tell her L have rid behind President
jefferson? She'll say voted for the right
man."

Mayor MaIsh,s Troubles.

Mayor Walsh of Augusta is finding
stumbling blocks in the path which leads
to reform. The council over which he
presides, and which should give his re-
form measures a hearty support. Is
against him, and. it is alleged. is trying
TO defeat his efforts to give Augusta such
government as the people have been de-
handing for 4 long time
From what can be gathered from the
Augusta papers most of the councilmen
belong to the Kerr faction-the faction
which supported Daniel Kerr for Mayor.
They don't take the defeat of their chief
kindly. On the contrary they still harbor
such bitter feelings towards Mayor Walsh
that they would much rather see the city's
interests suffer from bad government than
that Mr.. Walsh's administration should be
a successful one. That sort of spirit is
calculated to obstrLct the progress of any
town in which it exists. 1t means rule or
ruin, and should be crushed out as quick
ly as possible.
Mr.. Walsh consented to accent the nom
inatlon for Mayor because he believed
that Augusta was being injured by ring
rune, anu II was tnouSnt ne could be
elected, Notwithstanding the power Of the
ring. 1t was certain that he would do his
utmost to break up this ring if elected
The people rallied to his support ana
elected him.
His work has just begun. It is appar-
ent that it is the purpose of the old ring
crowd to make his administration a fail
ure, so that they can get back into power.
If the people of Augusta know what is
for their best interest they viii stand By
Mayor Walsh, and, as soon as possible.
give him council which will cordially
support his reform measures They
should never again permit the ring crowd
TO get into power.

In our dispatches of yesterday was an
item telling of how, in Chicago. a block
Of ice cream stopped a bullet and saved
mans life. 1t is to be hoped that the
item did not escape the attention of Gen.
Miles, 1t might be found that the soldiers
of the regular army could, before going in
to battle, be supplied with cakes of ice
cream to be worn around their solar pick
uses and other vital spots. 1t, is possible,
also, that the idea could be elaborated IN
til our battleships and cruisers would go
out to meet the enemy swathed in vanilla
and chocolate ice cream. We are a very
progressive people, and the ice cream idea
may be possible of conversion into a frozen
fact.

Sugar in the Hawaii Job.
From the Philadelphia Record Dem).

The sugar bounties, 1t is true, are gone,
and the Hawaiian sugar planters have
again the freedom of the markets of the
United States, to the exclusion of all
other foreign competitors. But since the
treaty of reciprocity was made a power
has arisen in this country in the sugar
trust; and the Hawaiian planters fear
that this power will have sufficient infiu-
ence to abrogate the treaty and put all
imports of sugar into the United States
on the same dutiable footing Hence the
only security for free trade in Hawaiian
sugar is in annexation to the United
States. All the spread-eagleism over the
immense strategeteal and political inn
portance of Hawaii and an the sentiment
talism over the young Republic of the
Pacific are merely designed as a cover
TO this sugar job. But not all the sugar
on the Hawaiian Islands can sweeten so
an iniquity.
