Mark Hauna's Victory.

Hanna Won. He has won glorious
victory. He Is reelected United States
Senator from Ohio by the magnificent
majority of one, He was entitled to
eight, but even the Ohio Republicans
are growing ashamed of Hanna. He IS
a great catch for the Republican party.
1t shows what principle will do when
backed up by enough Doodle. 1t also
shows how dignified a President we
have, when he stood a. the receiver of
a Iong-distance telephone. keeping the
wire hot in Marks interest.
This Is indeed a free government
when heaven and earth and the pow
ers of darkness are turned loose to
compass his election, and then some
of our Republican friends are pleased
to call it great triumph of manhood!
The President and his entire official pie
counter were moved to help Mark. No
stone was left unturned to win this
victory of manhood.
o, yes; that was glorious victory.
1t was SO stupendouS that it will turn
Ohio Democratic at next falls Con-
gressional elections. 1t will bring the
Republican party into worse dishonor.
1t will brand every man who voted for
him. against his wishes, hireling. 1t
will make the next President Demo-
cratic. No Democrat has any reason
to feel discouraged. The political skies
never looked brighter than at this
moment.
Mark Hanna's election is n great
vindication for the Republican admin
istration, but it cost Mark Hanna a
barrel of money to make 'er vindicate.
Only his transcendent, his overpOwer-
ing abilities pulled Mark Hanna
through. Mark comes high, but he is
cheap at any price. His election makes
Democratic success so much surer next
fall. A glorious victory like that is
worth more than 100000 votes. Give
| us more glorious Mark Hanna victories.

Army and Navy Affairs.

The army and navy are especially iuter-
ested in legislation this session. The
Committee on Military Affairs is consid-
ering n bill providing for two additional
regiments of artillery. The proposition is
strongly favored by the War Department
These regiments are wanted to man the
guns in the new Notifications planned aad
being built for coast defense. If the ap-
preparation for them is placed in the regu-
lar army appropriation bill it is liable to
be stricken out on point Of order Should
Il separate bill for this increase be report
ed from the committee it would go on the
calendar, and could not be considered
without n special order from the Commit
tee on Rules. Its fate, therefore, Is p-i-
marily in the hands of the leaders of the
House. Once before this body, the bill
would give rise to n sharp discussion and
probably pass. Judging from the lber-
ality shown by the Senate in the appro-
priations for fortitiCations, it would read
lily pass that body.

"ConciIiation with an AK"

1t is alleged that the administration
has given Mark Hanna a gentle hint
to curb his tongue in the matter of
threats against Ohio Republicans op-
posed to his election as Senator. Nc
Kinley is not at all anxious that the
split in the Republican party of the
Buckeye State should be made any
hibited such a show Of strength that
alarm is felt by the occupant of the
Presidential chair, and Hanna's curses,
it is feared, may work mischief to the
Presidents plans for a denomination.
1t would never do for Ohio Repubii-
cans to refuse a united support to Nc
Kinley In 1900. and therefore Hanna is
cautioned to modify his expressions Of
rage. This will be severe dose for
Hanna to swallow, and in the long run
he will manage to get even with his
enemies with a result which will be
anything but pleasing to the admins
tration. Hanna believes in 'cOncillia.

PROTECTION AND PROSPERITY.

New England rallied to the support
of the Republican party at the Presi-
dental election of 1896, and cast lts
electoral votes for the advance agent
of prosperity"
New England is now getting sam
pie of the kind Of prosperity heraldeu
by the advance agent. No doubt q
large majority of the 125,OOO opera
tives of the cotton mills who are now
suffering a cut in wages Of from 1O TO
IL per cent, voted for Mckinley. Per-
haps they should not be blamed for
this, as they were coerced by the mill
managers and promised good times and
increased pay If the Republican ticket
should win.
How truthful these promises were Is
now being demonstrated, and the cause
of this disaster is the very measure
which the Republicans asserted would
bring about prosperity. In discussing
this phase of the question the New
York Journal says:
Whatever explanation may be given
of the present situation Of the cotton
industry of New England, 1t is certain
that increased protection is doing 1t
no good. What is called protection re-
stricts its market, tends to over-prOduc-
ton and lower prices by hothouse COM
petition at home, and the more it gets
of this kind of fostering the worse
off are those employed in IT.
There can be no doubt that this view
of the situation is correct, but will the
operatives of the New England cotton
mills recognize that factf Will they
realize that they have been made the
victims of a gigantic confidence game,
and will they, with spirit of self-pres-
ervation, turn away from the Republi-
can party and espOuse the cause Of
Democracy?
This is the important question which
is pressing upon the minds of the wage
workers all over the United States.
Upon its correct answer rests the fu-
ture of the masses in this country.
Labor has a true friend in DemOc-
racy and bitter enemy in the Repub-
lican party. The latter is the servant
of the trusts, and the trusts grow rich
and flourish at the expense of the peO-
pie There is only one party great
enough to hope for victory in strug-
gle against the trusts, and that party
is Democratic. Every vote cast for any
other party organized to befriend labor
is vote thrown away, and every vote
cast for the Republican party is vote
to impoverish and enslave the masses.
Cannot the wage-earners see this! 1t

| Watch Bun6r.

A watch that has been timed
closely at the factory is not likely to
run the same after having been
stopped and packed and shipped;
therefore purchasers should not con
denim it because it does not run close
when first started.
A watch that has been allowed to
run down will not ii the same
when wound and started again. but
will usually be found to run irregu-
larry for a few days.
Frequently a watch will not run
exactly the same after casing as be
fore: this is caused by the eramping
of the plates through too close cas-
ing, or the springing of the plates by
the case screws.
Fine t1me-keepers are very sensi-
tive and slight changes in their treat
ment affects their performance, as is
shown by the we'll known fact that a
close running watch will not main
tain the same rate in the pockets of
two different persons, although
their habits and avocations may be
identical.
Htg. Movements are timed with
the figure 3 up, and o f. Move
ments with - up, the position they
will be in when carried IN the pocket.
and dealers In testing them, should
run them in these positions, as all
grades of movements, not excepting
some of those that are adjusted to
positions, will vary somewhat if run
in other positions.
AT night it is best to hang up the
watch, SO that it is kept in the same
position as it is carried during the
day.
A watch when first started, OF that
has been allowed to run down,
should be run a few days and given
time to settle down to g steady rate
Of variation, after which the regu-
lator may be moved to bring it to
close time.
As a general rule, a watch that is
expected to keep close time should
be regulated while being carried by
the person who IS to wear ii.
It is essential that a watch should
be wound at the same hour every
day, and also, that observations of
it's variations or rate should be made
at a stated hour.
The regulator should not be
moved, as is often done, until it is
ascertaired to be a fact that the
watch is not running properly, under
proper conditions and treatment.

SINCERITY.

The origin of the wold sssincer.
ity'' is profoundly interesting and
suggestive. When Rome fourished
when her fame was spread the
world over, and the Tiber vas
lined with noble palaces built of
choicest marble-men wed With
each other in the construction Of
their habitations. SkiIful soulptors
were in demand; and immense
sums of money we're paid for elab-
crate workmanship. The work
men, however, we're even then ca
peble of practicing deeeitful tricks.
If, for example, they accidentally
Clipped the edge of the marble,
or If they discovered some con-
spieuous flaw, they would fill up
the chink and supply the deiicien-
cy by means of prepared wax.
For some time this deception
would not be discovered; but when
TIE weather tested the buildings,
the heat or damp would disclose
the wax.
At length those who had deter
mined on the erection of man
sions introduced a Dieding clause
into their contract, to the effect
that the whole work, from the
first to the last, was to be sine
cera; that is, 'swithout x."Thus
we obtain our word sssineerety.o
