toga obtained as it is very generally
believed in Ohio Mr.. Hanna secured
his. But he is there and there he viii
remain until the end of his term, If he
lives. And he will cling to his chair
manship just as tenaciously.
We may be equally sure that the COM
mittee will not demand his resignation.
However unpopular he may be with
the people, he is very useful in other
ways. He is probably the best fiat
fryer who ever occupied the position.
He can get more money from the
banks, the corporations, the trusts and
the manufacturers than any other man
who might be named as his successor.
Besides he will have the whole power
of the presidential office to sustain him.
And why not? Did he not make Nc
Kinley politically, and save him from
ruin financially? 1t would be base in
gratitude for him to abandon his bene-
factor, although that probably would
not be the controlling consideration
with Mckinley, who always looks out
for himself first. 1t is scarcely posi-
BILE that Mckinley can shake Hanna
off. Unpopular as the Ohio boss is
with the masses he doubtless has
sufficient following among the politi-
clans of Ohio to turn the scale against
Mckinley in that state, which would
be his political undoing.
And, after all. why should Hanna
be made the scapegoat? The campaign
in Ohio was fought on the questions
involved in the presidents policy. The
| administration was fairly on trial. 1t
is we'll known that Mckinley has never
been out of harmony with Hanna for
a single day. They are perfectly
agreed on every public question, and
they are also on terms of the closest
personal intimacy. The only difference
is that Hanna is coarse, blunt and
frank in the expression of his views,
while Mckinley is refined, secretive, a
master of sophistry and capable OF
| coneealing the most objectionable prin-
ciples under a food Of polished and
misleading rhetoric. To sacrifice Han
ma and cling to Mckinley would be
the rankest kind OF injustice. But
there is no use Of either philosophizina
or moralizing about the matter, fol-
Hanna will not be turned down.

penalties. 1t is stipulated that each
citizen shall have at least twelve hens
and one COW and continue in possession
of them indefinitely. They must bring
eggs chickens and vegetables to sell

with the Man With the Hoe and raise

by night. BY the sweat of their broWs
they shall eat their bananas, pay their
| taxes, milk their cows, set their hens,
fat their hogs. harvest their sweet po-
tatoes and acquire prosperity, pride and
pajamas
But Governor Leary did not stop
there. He issued another order in
which he frankly told the Guamese in
good, set polysyllabic English that the
existing custom of raising families of
illegitimate children is repulsiVe to
ideas of decency, antagonistic to moral
advancement. Incompatible with the
generally recognized customs of civili-
cation, violation of the accepted prin-
ciples of Christianity and a most de-
grading injustice to the innocent off
spring who is not responsible for the

The Dewey House.

u DMIRAL DEWEY's mysterious
proceedings in relation to the
house in Washington presented
to him by his admirers are exciting
much criticism. Why he should deed
the house to his wife. who is herself
Independently wealthy and has man
sions of her own, is not at all clear.
One Of this mornings Washington dis
patches announces that Mrs. Dewey will
transfer the title to the admirars son.
This is more satisfactory, but still the
people who contributed to the purchase
of the place don't know what to think
about it all.
The Washington correspondents are
busy offering explanations. According
to one story when Dewey was a plain
commodore on department duty in
Washington he was sweet on a young
Indiana widow employed in the navy
department bureau. Upon his being
transferred to the Brooklyn navy yard.
it is said that the Indiana widow was
also transferred there. When the adj
miral returned from Manila and an
nounced his engagement to Mrs. Hazen,
it is said that the Indiana lady threat
ened to bring breach Of promise pro-
| ceedings; and that confronted with tie
| possibility that his home might be at
tached to secure payment Of damages,
| Dewey decided to transfer it to his
| wife.
The story may not contain a word OF
| truth; it may be the invention of sdme-
| body who wanted to concoct a story ''tc
! fit the case" But unless the adnira
| himself makes statement setting fortl
the reasons for his action, there Is
! bound to be more or less gossip and
| conjecture. Had the admiral acquired
possession Of the property in any othei
! way. it would be nobody's business blu
| his own what he did with it. AS it is
those who helped pay for it feel tina
| their spontaneous generosity has moi
been appreciated.

Comic Opera Reform.

1HE latest from the isle of Guam
is that Governor Leary has ad-
dressed himself to the task of
civilizing and Americanizing the ma
tives by the proclamation method. 1t
appears that the Guam islanders are Ia
mentally lacking in industry, in thrift,
in morality and in clothing. They have
been leading a sort of fig-leaf exist
ence. Life to them has been one long,
midsummer nights dream. They have
been gamboling and frolicking along iii
joy and mirth and nudity, Indifferent
alike to politics, ethics, dry goods and
fancy groceries.
Governor Ieary came saw and was
displeased. The islanders were not Quail
flied for American citizenship. They
knew nothing of the Mckinley tariff or
the gold standard. They had never
learned how to mark an Australian bal
lot. They We're in profound ignorance
of the merits of imperialism. They
could not tell trust from q rattle
snake. They had never held a ward
caucus, or been voted in blocks; of five.
or cheered a rear-platform artist or
marched in torch-light procession, or
attended a whole-ox barbecue, or stood
firmly and unalterably on the platform
that whoever differs with Mckinley is
a traitor, a blackguard, an assassin
and son of gun. They had not been
drilled in the rudiments of political
economy, and their knowledge of the
laws of supply and demand was limit
ed to the rela tionship subsisting be-
tween their hunger and the means al
hand of appeasing it. Their conceptions
of the sanctity of the marriage tie were
as hazy as their perceptions of the ne
cessity of clean. boiled shirts. They
toiled not, neither did they spin. They
played no football, read no presidents
messages, attended no Dewey recep.
sions, took no interest in the Schley.

trials, mobbed no baseball unpires
bribed no legislatures, investigated nc

prize fights, burned no negroes at the
stake. Clearly they were lacking II

Governor Leary went at it with en-
ergy and emphasis. On Oct. he issued

~~ HE anomalous result of the cleo
ton in Ohio, in which repuo-
lican governor-elect finds him
self representing fifty thousand less
than half of the legal votes cast, and
Mark Hanna was overwhelmingly re-
buked in his own county, a strongly
republican one. has led to good deal
of speculation in the East as to the
inadvisability of retaining Mr.. Hanna
at the head of the national republican
committee.
Some have suggested that he may
voluntarily resign, and others that per
haps the committee will request him
to do SO. 1t is reasonably safe to say
that neither event will come to pass.
The idea of Mark Hanna resigning
anything that he wants merely because
he is unpopular, and load for his par

rious consideration. If he knows that

Vice-President Hobart.

~ ARRET AUGUSTUS. HOBART
~ was a good, clean man. He
filed the Office of vice president
ns we'll as it was ever filled. AS a pre-
siding officer he could not be surpassed.
He was dignified, courteous, prompt
and unerring in his decisions. He was
sas well liked by the democratic sena-
tors as by the republican; in fact he
enjoyed the respect, confidence and es
TEEN of all Washington.
Mr.. Hobart was New Jersey born and
bred. He was 55 years old. A lawyer
by profession, he was rather business
man in fact. He was interested in a
large number of corporations. He had
"a genius for making money. He served
tseveral terms in the New Jersey legis-
lature, first in the assembly and later in
the senate-he was elected speaker of
fhe former and president of the latter.
From 1880 to 1891 he was chairman of
the republican state committee of New
Jersey. In 1884 he was chosen a men,
Der Of the republican national commit
tee. In more than one presidential con-
test he has been importuned to accept
the Craftsmanship of the national COM
mittee, place which the engrossing de-
anands of his large private business
compelled him to decline.
The death Of Mr.. Hobart brings Sec
rotary of State Hay next in line of the
presidential succession. The line passes
down through the other members of
the cabinet, as provided by a law pass
ed in 1886. The president pro tempore
Of the senate is Senator Frye Of Maine.
