The Ohio Senatorship.

The abstention of ten Republican
members of the Ohio legislature from
the preliminary caucus at Columbus
Saturday night is naturally interpreted
as an indication that the claims of the
opponents of Senator Hanna have not
been exaggerated. The managers of
Mr. Hanna's campaign for re-elec-
uon' including Mr.. Hanna him.
SELF deny that this interpreta-
ton is justified and claim that
the senatorial caucus will bring out
the requisite majority. They also pro-
tess TO believe that SHOULD these alb
sentees continue to bolt the Hanna
movement sufficient number of votes
Will come from the Democratic side to
insure Hanna victory.

Any human being, capable of counting
a hundred, could arrange 1000 silver dol
lars in twenty piles of one hundred dol
lars each without once doubling whether
or not he ought to begin the twentieth
pile with the hundredth dollar of the nine
teenth pile. Why is it, then, that so
many such human beings cannot arrange
1000 years in twenty piles of hundred
years each without Immediately falling
into the gravest doubt as to whether or
not they ought to begin the twentieth pile
of years with the hundredth year of the
nineteenth pile? The question, it seems to
us, is worthy of philosophical considera-
tion.

THE TWENTIETH CENTURY
PROBLEM.

Rocheste" Democrat and Chronicle.
Studerts of mental phenomena might
find it worth their while to endeavor TO
identify the peculiarity of the humai
mind that makes possible the existence of
a doubt as to the date of the beginning
of the twentieth century. TO account for
this fact as merely a result of sporadic
and exceptional cases of stupidity seems
to us unphllosophical. There never was
any possible question as to when the
twentieth century begins. The srupdest
man alive ought to be able to see that
since there never was a year 0, with
which to begin century, the first century
must have begun with the year ], and so
every subsequent century must begin
with the year of that century. But that
it is not mel ely the exceptionally dull
man who is unable to get this through his
head everybody knows.

OF the thousands of newspapers in the
country there is probably not one that
does not receive at least two or three
times a year a well-written and properly
worded request, evidently prepared by a
person of education, to KINDLY publish
in your valuable paper the date of the
commencement of the next century" O1e
widely-read New York newspaper finds
it necessary to answer this question in
its Notes and Queries" column almost
every Sunday. Bring up this matter in
conversation wherever dozen or so per-
sons of average education and intelli-
gence are gathered together, and you
will almost invariably find somebody who
has an idea that the twentieth century
begins on January /, 1900, and somebody
else, who knows better, but is willing to
waste time and breath in arguing mat
ter which affords no room for argument,
with all the earnestness and gravity Of
the wiseacres of Dawson's Landing ar
guinG over the equally valid question
springing from Dave Wilson's remark
about the dog. The tendency TO create
a question, where no question exists, rs
to this matter of the beginning of the
twentieth century. Is certainly not excep-
tional, and therefore cannot be eX-
planned by referring it TO some exception
al quality of mind in the individual who
creates and puzzles over it.
