Mark Hanna has won the fight in the
Ohio Legislature. and il TO be senator
from that state for the short and long
term extending up to 1865.
This is as it should be. II the Repub-
lican legislators of the state were cleo
ted last November on pledges TO sup.
port Hanna il was right for them TO
keep their pledges and pay their VOWS.
THE NEWS does not endorse treach-
cry in any party's camp. We have had
examples OF it in our own state, we de-
nounced it at home, and we maintain
it is as wrong in other states. Let
the will of the people prevail.
The defeat Of Mr.. Hanna would have
given a Silver Senator from the great
state OF Ohio, this would have been a
great acquisition but the silver friends
can stand the defeat. The great gains
In the state last November was a signal
victory for them, and Mr.. Hanna's
election viii do no more damage to the
cause than the loss OF single vote in
the United States Senate. If his boss.
ism has arrayed his state against him
as reported in the dispatches from
Columbus the bare fact of his election
will give no material strength and aid
TO the administration. The fight will
not De stopped, the cause of silver will
still go marching on, and the 5000, 600
votes for Bryan will have many re-
cruits from Mr.. Hanna's own state

the yield is over 30 tons per acre. At 50 per

A REMARKABLE PROPHECY.

Thomas H. Benton, says the Oregon
ian,'' was prophet as well as statesman
That is certainly true The great Mis-
sourian was one Of the most pronounce
ed Of expansionists. Were it possible
to hear his voice to-day the famous
advocacy of expansion by retention of
that which has come to Us as the fruit
of victory in war.
With Jefferson, the Democrat, and
Seward the Republican, he believed in
the capacity Of this nation to take new
territory and harmonic 1t with our
system. Our contemporary quotes a
remarkable example of Bentons far
seeing when in a speech in opposition
to the surrender of the Oregon Terri
tory he uttered prophecy that needs
only to be reproduced to carry with 1t
all the proofs Of it's fulfillment. Mr..
Benton said:
Upon the people of Eastern Asia the
establishment Of civilized power on
the opposite coast of America could
not fail to produce great and wonder
full benefits. Science, liberal prin-
ciples in government, and the true re-
ligion, might cast their lights across
the intervening sea. The valley of the
Columbia might become the granary
of China and Japan, and an outlet to
their imprisoned and exuberent popu-
lation. The inhabitants of the Oldest
and the newest, the most despotic and
the freest governments, would then be-
come the neighbors of each other To
my mind the proposition is clear that
Eastern Asia and the two Americas, as
they become neighbors, should become
friends; and I, for one. had as lief see
American ministers going to the En-
perors of China and Japan, to the King
of Persia and even the Grand Turk. as
to see them dancing attendance upon
those European legitimates who hold
everything American in contempt and
detestation.

THE ANARCHISTS IN EUROPE.

The dispatches say that there is
thought in Europe of a combination of
the nations for the utter extermina-
ton of anarchism. But how is the
cat to be belled? Known anarchists
might be gathered in and executed,
but their blood would be the seed for
new crops.
AS has been done successfully more
than once, secret agents of the Govern
ments may gain admission to the an
archistic councils and ascertain who
are members to the last man and wo-
man, and thus the entire registered
lot be made prisoners. But would
that put an end to anarchism? As
suredly not, as long as nations outside
of the circle of European influence toll
crate anarchists and permit them to
preach their doctrines freely and open
ly, as in the United States and in
Switzerland, for instance.
If anarchism is to be suppressed, evil
and damnable as it is, it will not be
done by making the known members
martyrs to the cause, but by such re-
taxation of monarchical rule, such
broadening Of the democratic idea,
such spread of the tolerant spirit as
will give the weed no soil upon which
it can thrive. In the United States it
never can be a serious menace, because
of our free system. This Government
Of the people, by the people, with its
peaceful revolutions every four years,
cannot become SO tyrannical as TO
justify the anarchist, even according
to his own code, in plotting for its ever
throw. He finds here not sufficient
food for sustenance of his doctrine.
He finds here no curbing of his tongue,
no restriction upon his speech, no such
restraint as sustains him IN his de-
mand for the obliteration of govern
ment and the establishment of a sys-
tenn in which there is no law and no
penalty, no executive arm and no COM
pulsion, and where unrestrained free
dom is the measure of whatever order
and progress is possible under law
less system.

Manual Training for Children.

Manual training sharpens the senses
and makes eyes that see and ears that
near and touch that is fine and true.
II gives proper balance of values, not
/ only to the physical and intellectual
ACTIVITIES OF the individual, but to the
intercourse OF pupil with pupil, for
frequently the seeming dullard turns
out TO be the skillful worker and vice
/ versa, ana mutual respect and har-
mony result. So the varying yet equal
worth OF men is taught without sign
or SOUND. Pupils. too, are encouraged
TO mutually aid each other in con-
structlon and in handling and use Of
toolS; ana the valuable quantity of So
clal helpfulness grows like the flower
from the swelling bud. 1t is a method
OF positive creative activity as against
passive receptive or destructive rest
Iessness; IN short, 1t is education, not
| instruction. 1t forms the mind instead
OF furnishing 1T. 1t creates right hab-
| It's, and so moldS character. 1t makes
careful, thinking, true men. We make
| II our constant aim to let the acquiSi-
ton OF knowledge, the apprehension of
truth, grow out of the experience of
the children themselves says Pro-
IeSsor Bamberger. 1t is the con-
| structive method, as against that Of
cramming with rules and definitions
the children do not understand, and
facts they do not aSSimilate. First
comes actual acquaintance and re-
peated experiment, out Of which the
definition, rule, or truth naturally
grows, and thus becomes the lasting
possession Of the child There
is complete correlation and co-ordina-
tion in the intellectual and manual
work. Things thought out are wrought
out; thus the hand becomes the out
let for the rising flood of the mind, and
self-activity and self-expression are
induced. The child finds himself a Gre
ator, for the avenues are opened by
which he discovers himself and gains
possession and use of his faculties. He
is the center of the universe, and max
ing longer and longer excursions into
the unknown discovers the world about
him and his relation to it."-Woman's
Home Companion
