very men who in congress are doing
their utmost to force the president into

tial things the Ohio platform was made

To appeal to the most thoroughly
bossed state convention Ohio has seen
in recent years as the voice Of the
people," is mockery. But even if last
June's Hanna resolution were an hon

went to the polls about eighteen
weeks later; they hardly elected leg

did not elect majority for Hanna
the actual count of noses proves that.

was what William Cullen
Bryant wanted to know in 1.-The Ages"
The case of Maurice Deister, the
strong boy of Brooklyn" may furnish
an answer Maurice was eighteen years
old, stood six feet three and weighed
two hundred pounds. They say he
pulled horses out of mud holes, carried
pianos ON his back, seized great big
English mastiffs by the scruff Of the
neck and swung them around his head,
and performed divers other feats which
made him the wonder and delight of
the neighborhood. one day. it is said,
Maurice, in response to the dare of a
schoolmate, leaped from a fifth story
window of a building, and alighted on
a pile of sand, escaping uninjured. At
another time, the story goes, a stray
bullet struck the strong boys head, but
glanced off, leaving him none the worse
for the contact. The young man so
prided himself on his strength and in
Yulnerability that there was nothing
he wouldn't tackle. So when the other
night the boys proposed that he tackle
carbolic acid, he gladly assented to the
proposal and swallowed four ounces at
a gulp. But alas! the strong boy didn't
have strength enough to throw it OF
or throw it up. He lay right down and
died, just like a common mortal. and
the coroner's jury, refusing to call it
suicide, returns a verdict of accidental
death. All of which teaches us that the
most highly developed flesh and blood

The Gentleman From Michigan.

rHAT Potato Pingree. the governor
of Michigan. is one Of the pic
turesque political personalities
of the period. is undoubtedly a great
alliterative truth. People outside Of
Michigan are not hearing so very much
about Pingree these days, but people in
Michigan don't have n, chance To hear
very much about anything else. And If
Pngree has his way and carries out
his plans, the time is coming when
Pingree will be the chief topic. of con-
versation throughout the length and
breadth of the nation. All Gaul was
divided into three parts, but the repub-
lican party of Michigan, like that OF
Ohio. is content to be divided into two.
'''Tis hard to part sang the poet. but
he was not referring to the republican
party in the year of our Lord 1898. It's
the easiest simplest and most logical
thing imaginable.
Pingree is a silver man. at least he
says he is, though his course in 1886
raised some doubt about it. Pingree
poses as the enemy OF trusts and cor
porations, the foe of monopoly and J.
Pierpont Morganism, the friend of the
farmer the miner. the laboring man,
the woodchopper the clodhopper lie
is said to have a very large following in
the republican party in Michigan. All
who aren't Pingree's followers are fell
lowers of Senator Mcmillan, who is
worth following just at this time as he
has the federal pie in the hollow Of his
large and shapely hand With Senator
Mcmillan are Secretary of War Alger,
Senator Burrows and about all the
other republican big guns and sons of
guns in Michigan. 1t is their open in
tention to knock Governor PuEree out
of a denomination. Pingree says that
they can't do it. but that If he is mis-
taken and they do do it. he will run
for governor as an independent candi-
date on a platform of his own con-
struction, and smash the republican
party into a million smithereens.
So confident is Pingree of his ability
to fulfilr this threat that of the two
propositions he would prefer to be
knocked out of the regular republican
nomination rather than get it, for it is
said that he has assurances that he can
receive the nomination from all the flu
sion elements I'm the state. democrats,
silver republicans, populists and indie
pendents; and that. victorious with
their help. he would be bigger man
than Bryan and stand right in line for
the silver nomination for president in
1900. Such are the dreams that are
charming the head of the only original
and justly celebrated potato philantho-
pst of Michigan. There would seem to
be an excellent opportunity for the
sweet singer of Michigan 10 rise tn the
occasion and sing few lines in re the
sweet potato governor.

Mr.. Hanna's silly Claim.

~HE weakest factor Of the Ohio
situation is the manifesto is
sued by Mr. Hanna directly
after his defeat in the contest for the
organization of the legislature. This
manifesto amounted to a whine be-
cause the legislature threatens not to
abide by the sentence in the platform
of the last years Ohio republican state
convention pledging the senatorship to
Hanna. The manifesto has a good deal
to say about the people 1T holds that
the people represented in a state con-
vention exercising their privilege and
right under the constitution of the
state, declared with an unexampled
unanimity in favor of the election of
Senator Hanna to the short term and
the long term The manifesto also in
sists that Mr.. Hanna was the direct
issue in the Ohio election of last year.
The state convention to which this
Hanna manifesto refers was held in
June of last year. That was a long
time ago, as things run in the politi-
cal world. The appeal to the action of
that convention as to the voice of the
people is nothing short of ludicrous
especially when one takes account of
the conditions under which the conven-
-sor Ma held. Mr.. Hanna was in fun
feather at that moment. His agents
had been busy in Ohio. There was an
anti-Hanna element in the convention,
but Hanna crushed it brutally--he gave
1t no quarter. Hanna passed the con-
vention with the energy of a local
heeler in a ward caucus. For the sake
of the state ticket. his republican OPP
sponents endured his harshness.
Forthwith Mr.. Hanna left the state
ticket, with Governor Bushnell at it's
head, to take care of itself; he spent
his energies over the legislative ticket.
The result was that, comparatively
the state ticket. ignored by Hanna,
really Jared better than did the legisla-
tive ticket. For governor, Bushnell had
a majority of rs, los, while Mr.. Hanna,
as last Mondays vote on organization
proves. did not elect enough members
of the legislature to pull him through

What about the essential planks in

nanded independence for Cuba and eX-
