Joke ON the nEnfor.

The major, just returned from Boston,
tells in strict confidence this story:
Il had engaged my berth, and was stand
ing on the rear platform five minutes be-
fore the train pulled out of the Park
Square depot, when a middle-aged woman
and a handsome girl, both ladies, passed me
and entered the car, accompanied by a
gentlemanly- looking chap who carried their
baggage. A moment later this fellow pushed
up to me and said he was in most embar-
RAISING position, had his sister and mother
aboard, and had lost his mileage book. He
would introduce me to them and give me
any security for $25. 1 said / needed neither
introduction nor security, but would give
him ten dollars-all l had to spare. He in
sisted on giving me his diamond searfpin,
and then rushed into the station to see if
he cold get more cash. As the train pulled
out without him, he came running wildly
after it, but had to give it up.
Then the porter approached me tenta-
lively. Was that man annoying you?' he
said. / told him no. He insisted on carrying
the baggage of two ladies inside, sab, an
an'-dld he get any money out of you?'
OF course he didn't, said /; but l took
the first opportunity of examining that pin.
1t was worth about five cents. Buffalo

guns of filev's battery, drove the in
surgents two miles. fighting all the
way. They found Il filed piece, and

OPINIONS AND POINTERS.

1t is not so strange that William
Mckinley should have thrown civil sery-
ice over for Mark Hanna. Hanna has
dGne infinitely more for Mckinley
Chicago Democrat.
1t is a good democratic doctrine
to stand up for the right and resist
wrong. And no exception will be made
in favor of chartered robbery.-St.
Louis Posl-Dispatch.
SECRETARY Root is now spoken of
as a rum ing mate for Mckinley in
1900. AS former trust attorney he
would be a fit candidate if the republic
ans are going to put plank i'll their
platform denouncing trusts and apollo
giving for them at the same time.-Buf-
falo Times.
There seems to be no shame in
Mr.. Hanna, the dictator. In his speeches
he boasts that his party has enacted
laws against trusts. He takes care,
however, not to tell that he himself has
used his influence and prevented the
enforcement of these laws.-CantOn
CO., NewsDemocrat.
THE Ohio state republican cam
paign committee is sending begging
letters all over the United States, asking
for contributions to save the presidents
own state from being lost this fall.
This shows what confidence the repub-
licans have in the popularity of the pres
ident's party.-Utica On. " Observer.
The president of the United
States has, in effect, obeyed Hanna by
taking the stump to save Ohio" Still
more extraordinary, he has taken his
entire cabinet with him on the trip.
But for Dewey's diplomatic refusal, he
had hoped to attach the great naval
hero to the presidential swing-around-
Ohio must ae pretty badly in need of
salvation.-Albany Argus.
For the first time in the history
of Hannaism the officeholding republic
ans of all the states are held up to
help Mr.. Hanna out of a hole in one
state. We understand very well that
OF. a former occasion Mr.. Hanna did
bleed the officeholders of 10 states for
the same purpose, but his demands Rave
grown with his necessities, and now
his 'put-up-e~-lose-yo brutality
:; shameful and dishonest. it is true,
vat il IS at least useful in showing the
s.epth of Mr.. Hanna's desperation
Columbus CO., Press-Post.
We note upon the part of certain
lH-advised contemporaries a renewed
disposition facetiously to designate the
senior senator from Chic as Marcus
hurtlius" Hanna. The appellation is
inapt. Emperor Marcus
&urelus Antolinus, though he lived
! 500 years ago, was a scholar, phil
osopher, 4 n2an of honor. Modern writ
ers upon ethics are inclined to admit
that his ''Meditations" constitute sys-
tenn of moral philosophy that has not
been surpassed. Flippantly to compare
Mr.. Hanna with such a man, even by
remote implication, is to offer an af-
front to history and propriety. En-
peror Marcus Aurelius never fixed" a
primary, bribed legislature or pro-
NOTED trust in his life. There is no
possible point Of similarity between his
character and that of Senator Hanna

Washington, Oct. 13.-The following
departments:
The president has received a large

citizens of distinction, requesting him
to tender the mediation of the United
States to settle the differences existing
between the government of Great Bri-

received other petitions on the same
subject, some of them desiring him to
make common cause with Great Bri-

and especially by American citizens in
the TransvaaT, and others wishing
hin. to assist the Beers against alleged
aggression.
Doesn't Think 1t Expcdient.
1t is understood that the president
does not think it eNpedient to talks
action in any of these directions. AZ
to taking sides with either party tC
the dispute, it is not to be thought of.
-As to mediation, the president has re,
ce;veG no intimation from either OF
the countries that the mediation of the

. in the absence of such intimation from
, Ecth parties, there is nothing in the

DISPATCH FROM GEN. OTIS.
Confirms the Advance of Gen.
SchNvan, who Reports Rebel
Forces DisintegratinE.

Washington, Oct. PA cablegran
from Gen. Otis to the war department
received late yesterday afternoon con-
firms the press dispatches regarding
Col. Schwan's movement on San Fran
cisco de Malabon. Gen. Otis says:
''Schwan was successful in driving
Insurgents south with loss from San
Francisco de Malabon. He reports
their force disintegrated and retreat
ing en- divergent roads which are i'm
passable for artillery or wagons. No
int ntion of occupying this country
permanently or temporarily: transport
tation will return by way of Rosario.
ard column will move direction Das
Marinas, probably retiring on linus.
Country OF no strategic Importance.
Gen. Otis Cisapproves of officers
families joining them at Manila. Re
gar,iing this question he yesterday
cabied the department as follows:
Population Manila much :Gngested.
Provision for families can not be made.
Those already arrived together with
families OF enlisted men have -.aused
much perpleXity. Would not permit
my own family 10 come under existing
circumstances: nearly all officers and
men here absent from Manila on duty.
families should await more peaceful
conditions"
Another message announced the ar
rival at Manila of the transport Vic
toria. with 403 horses: ten died en
route and seven. found to be afflicted
with CHAMBERS. were shot.
