There is always O day Of reckoning in poll
tics, and Mr. Hanna's day appears to be close at
hand. Senator Foraker may see fit soon to resent
the bIackguardism and bullying that have char
acterized the Hanna administration of the party
affairs or he may assume the more digndad posi-
lion Of leaving the rod OF punishment in the
hands OF the many men who have voted for him
and rallied about him in the past, and whose 10y
atty and combatiye disposition have not been ef-
faced by several years Of arrogant bgssism. We
shall see if Mr. Foraker is a broad enough states

1t is reassuring to learn from Manila
that Otis is extremely careful to see that
returning soldiers do not carry with them
any dutiabIe articles like cigars. 1t is,
perhaps, a pity that the Luzon customs au-
thorities are not equally particular about
the smuggling trade in arms and ammuni-
tion with rebel strongholds on the coast;
but there is huge profit in that for some
body, just as there used to be in the

accomplish great results by getting lot Of

SUMMERS LACK OF HumoR.
Some Amusing Stories Are Told Of His
Litera1noss.

Carl Sumner was a man of great
qualities and of small defects. His
blemishes, which were easily discerned,
were temperamental rather than NOR
al. He had not the sort of magma
ton which enables a man to enter
easily into the feelings of others, and
this deficiency on his part sometimes
resulted in unnecessary rudeness, says
the Atlantic Monthly. Charles Sum
ner's appearance was seriously meta
morphosed by severe attack of ty-
phoid fever which he suffered, think,
in 1S43 or 1874 After his recovery he
gained much in flesh and entirely lost
that ungainliness of aspect which once
led friend to compare him to geom-
etrical line, length without breath or
thickness" He now became a man Of
strikingly fine presence, his great
height being offset by corresponding
fullness of figure. His countenance
was strongly marked and very indi-
themselves, but the whole effect very
pleasingly impressive. He had but
Sttle sense of humor, and was not at
home in the small cut-and-thrust skir-
mishes of general society. He was
made for serious issues and for great
contests, which then lay, unguessed.
before him. OF his literalness some
amusing anecdotes have been told. At
an official ball in Washington he re-
marked to young lady who stood be-
side him: I'VE are fortunate in having
these places for standing here; we
shall see the first entrance of the new
English and French ministers into
Washington society!" The young girl
replied, 81 am glad to hear 1t. I like
to see lions break the ice." Sumner
was silent for few minutes, but pres
emily said: Miss -, in the country
where lions live there is no ice."
once invited Mr.. Sumner to meet a

replied: II do not know that l wish to

interest in individuals" In my diary
of the day l recorded the somewhat
ungracious utterance with this COM
ment: "God Almighty, by the latest
accounts, had not got SO far as this"
Mr.. Sumner was told of this in my
presence, though not by me. He said
at once: What a strange sort of
book your diary must be! You ought
