SOME MORE OF IT.

The New York Journal says OF
Mark Hanna:
After thorough investigation by a
committee Of the very Legislature
that elected him, Mark Hanna has
been found guilty OF bribery. 1t is
now matter Of official record that
the Presidents confidential guide, the
man who dictated the policy Of the
administration and is allowed to drag
the honor OF the United States over
the grimy floors OF the bucket shops
OF New York and Washington, is a
felon-onc Of the class for whom this
State has built prisons and enacted
penal laws.
IL is hardly likely that Hanna will
ever occupy the cell to which poorer
criminal Of his type would be consign-
ed. But what about his position in
public life? Will he remain the un.
commissioned premier Of the McKln-
ley administration? Will the Senate
that is dehled by his association hesi-
tate to expel him?
1t is the custom In England to ig-
more charges against public men, how
ever well establish they may be, as
long as they remain merely matters
Of common report, but the instant
they relieve the stamp OF an official
verdict the political guillotine falls.
II such rule prevailed in this country
Hanna's political corpse would be
thrown into qucklime this morning.
OF course. the corruption OF this
foul creature has been notorious since
his name first emerged from obscur.
ity. Other politicians have fallen;
Hanna was already down before the
public had ever heard Of his name.
His first political enterprise, the nom.
ination Of Mckinley, was effected by
the unscrupulous use Of money. His
ELECTORAL campaign was one gigantic
pecuniary debauch. His struggle for
the Senatorship accomplished the mir.
acle Of lowering the standard OF Ohio
politics.
All this was perfectly known-as
well as the cause of the destruction OF
the Maine before the court Of inquiry
had confirmed the Journals news
but it was not official. 1t might be
ignored as gossip and surmises. But
now the possibility OF evasion is past.
Mark Hanna stands publicly brand.
ed felon. Every hour he remains a
Senator after that disgraces the Sen
ate; every time he is received at the
White House disgraces the President.
Truly, Cuba Libre is fortunate in
the enemies she has made. How
many members Of either House OF
Congress, we wonder, will care to en-
roll themselves In the peace with dis.
honor contingent under the command
Of u convicted felon, on whose gar.
mcnts moderate imagination can see
the stripes?

PATRIOTISM.

Texas is aroused to the fighting
point; in about every town through
which we pass, the stars and stripes
are unfurled to the breeze, and men
that followed the fortunes OF the bon
ny blue flag In the sixties, are now
standing side by side with the men
that followed the star spangled ban

da' lg spirit, which made Napoleon
the Emperor of Kings, and the
martyrs OF old the masters Of death.

LIFE9S QUESTIONS.

Drifting avAy
Like mote on the stream,
Today's disappointment,
Yesterdays dreaml
Ever resolving
Never totncnd-
Such is our progress;
Where is the endi
Whirling away,
Like leaf in the wind;
Points Of attachment
Left daily behind; -
Fixed to no principle, 49,
Fast to no friend
Such our fidelity;
Where Is the endf
Floating away
Like clouds on the hill,
Pendulous, tremulous,
Migrating still;
Where to respose ourselyesf
Whittier to tend?
Such our consistency;
Where is the ends
Crystal pavement,
Seen through the stream;
Firm the reality
Under the dream.
We may not feel it,
Still we may mend
How we have conquered
Not known till the end.
Bright leaves may scatter,
Sport Of the wind;
But stands to the winter
The great tree behind.
Frost shall not withcr 1t,
Storms cannot bend;
Roots firmly clasping
The Rock at the end
Calm is the armament
Over the cloud;
Clear shine the stars through
The riffs Of the shroud.
There our repose shall be;
- Thither We tend
Spite Of waverings,
Approved at the end,

another one Of its war jokes. This
time it Is on the "trooperesseS and
thusly:
She halted her cavalry squad on the
brow OF the hill. Raising her pince
nez, she ran her keen gray eye over
the command.
"At-ten-siOn !" she shouted.
Her brow clOuded.
Don't giggle," she harshly cried.
Then she briskly added.
HAT straight !"
Fifty gauntleted hands arose In
unison.
Draw hat pins."
Fifty steel lances flashed in the air.
"Char-r-ge!"
And the squad swept down the hill.

UNCLE SANS DOUBLE.

While at this place l saw a fac.
smile OF the real Uncle Sam. l was
told that he lived on cattle ranch
some distance away. All he lacks is
the coat and trousers. lie wears a
hat and chin whiskers, habitually,
and he Is six feet, six inches high, OF
heroic mold; dressed In character, he
would make picture, impossible to
be distinguished from the original,
and what made him more interesting
was that he had on war paint, and
came through the car looking for a
Spaniard. He said Mckinley had
offered to pay Spain for the torpedo
that blew up the Maine, and that he
would substitute a buzzard for the
American Eagle, il Blanco demanded
it. The West is full Of this coarse
lingo element. No doubt, many con-
servative men OF both parties, can
look back and see where they could
recall some thoughtless lingo talk,
that has helped the present trouble.
1t is easier to criticise President Nc
Kinley that it is to advise him. l be-
lieve the President is brave man,
loyal to his country. Like all sensi-
BILE men, he prefers peace to war, but
when diplomacy fails to uphold Amer.
lean honor, Mr.. Mckinley will electri-
fy the country by calling the people
to arms.

THE KIDNEY COMPLEXION.

meet are afflicted with kidney COM

Their Kidneys are turning to par

They may also have indigestion or
suffer from sleeplessness, rheuma-
tism, neuralgia, brain trouble, nervous
exhaustion and sometimes the heart
acts badly
The cause is weak. unhealthy kid

Usually the sufferer from kidney
disease does not find out what the
trouble is until it is almost too late
because the first symptoms are so like
mild sickness that they do not think
they need a medicine or doctor I'M
