Mr.. Bryan should be careful how he
expands in his anti.expansion flights
President Mckinley is various and
versatile politician He was against
the war before the war; and he may be
against expansion if he shall find the
path too costly or difficult to follow.
Should Mr.. Bryan by the ides of March
find himself on the same side of the
fence as the President he would not
only have wasted his breath but he
would be minus an issue. And would
not that be saddening ?-Philadelphia

Philadelphia Press Of Jan. 1, 1898:

The Ohio senatorial contest will very
nearly monopolize the political interes.
which centers around the opening of
the new year Today will probably de-
termine whether the opposition to Mr..
Hanna is simply laundering in the in
dex without much real subsistence. By
every code of political honor, as we'll
as by every consideration of party in
terest and public advantage, Mr.. Han
ma is entitled to the election. He was
the sole nominee of the state conven-
tion for the place. Re was the only
candidate through the campaign. He
can be defeated only by perfdy, which
must be condemned on every recogniz-
ed principle of honorable political ac-
ton. Looking at the matter on still
higher grounds, Mr.. Hanna ought to
be elected because of his great part in
shaping the course of the Republican
party which resulted in the triumph
of 1896 and because he is needed in it's
further councils. There Is no ground
upon which the warfare against him
can be justified.

Philadelphia Press. Jan. 6, 1898:

Philadelphia Press, Jan. 6, 1898:
The senatorial contest now proceed
ing in Ohio involves a good deal more
than the election or defeat of Mark
Hanna. 1t concerns the honor of men
and of parties and the right of candi-
dates to accept a trust under a distinct
pledge, and then when elected to prove
unfaithful to it. These are more i'm
portant than the success of any man in
this instance or in any other contest.
There may be private griev-
ances in Ohio, of which the public know
nothing. But politics is no place for
grievances. Party organization would
be impossible if every man We're to seek
revenge for what he conceived to be his
private wrongs. The place to have
fought Mr.. Hanna was In the state con .
vention of last year, and before the Re
publican party had endorsed him for
senator or else through an open and
manly reputation of the party declara-
tion. That endorsement having been
given and accepted, it should now be
adhered to, and the Republican name
saved from the claim of perfidy and dis
honor.

Philadelphia Press, Jan. 9. 1898:
The clouds which have overhung the
Ohio senatorial election seem to be
breaking up. and there appears now tc
be a fair prospect of Senator Hanna
election. The actual recapture of tive
of the boilers who have come over tc
his column will have a moral weight
greater even than mere number. II
shows the effect of the awakened public
sentiment, and will dispirt and dis
courage the opposition. Mr.. Hanna has
made his enemies. No man could per-
form the great work he has done durine
the last three years without making
them. But his personality is only a
secondary matter He Is the represent
ative of the party and the embodimen,
of it's will and its unity. He was made
it's candidate and was accepted as such
The fight against him was not open and
frank, but stealthy and insiduous. 1t
involved a violation of every code of
personal and political honor, and this
attempt to betray and defeat the party
and to jeopardize every high public in
terest for mere personal revenge and
malevolence has aroused a tempest of
indignation before which the conspira.
tors will find it hard to stand.

Philadelphia Press, Jan. IL, 1898:
Senator Hanna wins his fight.
The defeat Of the shameless conspiracy
which trampled on all political princi-
pie and disregarded all public honor is
immeasurably more important than any
individual fate. There is no measure
of condemnation too severe for the
treachery of this plot. He was
made the candidate of his party by q
unanimous vote. There was no other
aspirant The conspirators We're pledged
to his support. If there is any code of
political integrity or personal honor
among men it bound all Republicans to
accept judgment thus pronounced and
action thus sealed.
The election of Mr.. Hanna retrieves
what was a most deplorable and dan
gerous situation. His defeat, in view of
all it involved, would have been a great
misfortune. 1t would have jeopardizai
Repubicanism in the senate when it
needs to gain instead of being able to
suffer losses
And the Philadelphia Press is but one

political news and opinions to be shaped

Its Coming is Looked Forward to
With Both Joy and Fear and its
Safe Arrival is Hailed With
Pride and Delight by All.

The arrival of the first baby in the
household is the happiest and most inn
portant event of married life. The young
wife who is to become mother delights
to think of the happiness in store for her
when the little one shall nestle upon her
breast and latterly she shall hear it lisp
the sweet and holy name, mother. +"
But her happy anticipation quickly van
ishes when she realizes the terrible pain
and suffering through which she must
pass while bringing the little one into
the world. An indescribable fear of the
danger attendant upon the ordeal soon
dissipates her joyfulness.
Thousands of women have learned
by experience that there is absolutely
no necessity for the sufferings which at
tend childbirth; they know that by
the use of Mothers Friend "a seien-
tific liniment--for q few weeks before
the trying hour, expectant mothers can
SO prepare themselves for the final
hour that the pain and suffering OF the
dreaded event are entirely obyiated and
it is safely passed through with COM
paratively little discomfort.

pecially expectant mothers who for the
first time have to undergo this trial, Is
such remedy for they know the pair
and suffering. to say nothing OF the dan-
ger, which is in store for them. 'Moth-

She Cured Him.

a Falrm0nt woman has cured her
husband of all desire to commit sui
side. Last Wednesday he became
very respondent and concluded to
drown himself in the river which
iuns near his home. He said good
by to his wife and children, and
walking to the river, entered the
stream. He waded out until the
water was waist deep, then hesitated
His wife saw him in the river. Put.
ting the baby down on the floor, she
rushed out OF the house, plunged in
to the cold stream, and in mo-
ment had her husband by the col
lar. Giving him a jerk, she Gueked
his head under the water When he
came to the surface he tried away
from her, but she gave him cuff
with her hand; then. grabbed him
by the collar, said: "Now, you get
out of here into the house and change
your clothes or I'll drown you on
the spot" The would-be snicide
didn't stop even to help his wife out
of the river, but flew to the house
for change of raiment. He hasn' t
been near the river since and has
made up his mind that suicide is a
cowardly way to escape earthly
troubles.
