MAKEBELIEvE HARMONY.
q Republican Organ Grinds Out n
Wall of Woe Over the Ohio
Situation.

The republican press is generally
agreed that Hanna and Harmony were
copartners in the management OF the
Ohio republican convention.
If this be true, the junior partner in
the firm has clear case for damages
against the Chicago Times-Herald. q
Mckinley Hanna organ of the inner
circle, which overlooks Harmony's in
terests altogether, and proceeds to rub
salt into the open wounds of Senator
Foraker.
According to the Times-Herald there
is no republican harmony in Ohio. 1t
goes further, and declares that there
will be no real harmony in Ohio politics,
no national confidence in the utterances
of its republican conventions, SO long
as Judas Benedict Foraker retains his
place in republican councils there. He
has been paid off. Let him be retired
for good.'
The Chicago Mckinley organ further
more declares that nothing but make
believe harmony, for the sake of self
preservation, has compelled Joseph B.
Foraker to sheathe his political dagger
in his own coat-tail, swallow his envy
11o IlldIICC, du0 upOA oliO
platform renewing pledges of loyalty
to the party he has SO often sought to
betray." According to the Times
Herald, sit would require page to re-
hearse the fragrant breaches of party
loyalty and personal good faith" of
which Foraker has been guilty; Fora
ker's conduct in the Ohio convention
''has once more proved that the leopard
cannot change his spots"-that 'tcon-
spiracy and treachery are so ingrained
in the man that nothing can eradicate
them from his acts" Finally, he is
told that "when whipped into line, he
ticks the lash, but as he does so, plots
new treachery."
Political rumor has it that Hanna,
Harmony & Co. have already selected
Gen. Grosvenor, the foremost admins
tration cuckoo, to be Foraker's sue
cessor in the United States senate in
1908; a rumor which would seem to be
well authenticated by the above-quoted
comments of "the original Mckinley
organ of the vest
Doubtless Senator Foraker will lie
awake nights, consulting with Bush
nell, Kurtz and McKisson as to ways
and means to elect Nash governor, and
thereby strengthen the hold of Hanna,
Harmony & Co. upon the Ohio repub-
ican machinery.-Albany Argus.

MARK HANNA ON SPIES.
The Republican Boss Makes Defense
of the Administration Which
Arouses Suspicion.

eve commend the president for the
judicious notifications of the civil
service rules recently promulgated"
saws Mark Hanna in his Ohio platform.
In an interview for publication Mr..
Hanna stands by the platform and the
order. He attempts to justify the latter
by saying that when President Cleve-
land was about to go out he issued an
order which had the effect of giving per-
manent jobs to a lot of democrats in
positions where they could act as
"spies" upon the republican admins
tration. He says that the present re-
publican administration is responsible
to the people for its conduct of public
affairs, and it cannot justly be held re-
sponsible if it is surrounded by dem
ocratic spies.' Therefore, the pres
ident is to be commended for his ''ju-
dicious" order.
Of course Mr.. Hanna does not expect
any intelligent man to accept this state
ment as sufficient justification for
turning over 10000 places in the public
service to spoilsmen. An administra-
ton has no business to have any secrets
in any branches of the service affected
by this order. If there is any use for
the services of spies then it is because
something is wrong which ought to be
exposed. If anything is wrong the
presence of men in the service who will
expose it is for the public good.
Mr.. Hanna's talk about spies i'm
plies that things are done which ought
not to be done. 1t implies that there
are things which the party bosses wish
to keep secret when there should be no
secrets and everything should be open
to the public. 1t implies purpose on
the part of the republican bosses to
convert the public service into party
machine-to pervert and degrade it to
the accomplishment of merely party
ends.
Any spying which will tend to pre-
vent such degradation of the public
service is very desirable thing. But
Mr.. Hanna and his fellow bosses are
not worried about spies. We hear
nothing about spies in the British civil
service, where the merit system is more
extended and more vigorously applied
than it ever has been here. The simple
truth is that the spoilsmen want the
spoils, and their talk about spies is the
best excuse they can think of for seiz-
ing what they want.-Chicago Chron-
icle.

Liny's voice sank to whisper, and she
finished with gulp, I've got to cut
wood out in the shed at nights when we
can't get man in the daytime, and il
isn't girls work. It isn't fair"
She slipped plump brown hand out
of one of the leather gloves and rubbed
it hastily over her glistening eyes, and
then she laughed in a self-ridiculing
way.
81 reckon I'm no better than ma" she
said, land ma was never foolish like
me; but when she was young she didn't
have girl her own age living only

shopping as well as other folks. Fire
works in the grounds, indeed, and talk
ing about them a month ahead, and not
American enough to shake your hand
like the president of the United States!"
Liny's varying expressions settled
into one of firm determination as she
drove on in a business-like manner,
paying undivided attention to John as
the wagon rumbled through the crowd
ed thoroughfare. She was glad when
her vegetables were disposed of to her
dealer, and she had tied John in quiet
place square back of the market, and
she threw her head up trifie and gave
a swift smile, as she repeated to her
self that she reckoned now she could
go shopping as well as other folks.
Liny's shopping, however, was not ex-
tensive that morning, and she found
herself idly walking the streets, ex-
aiming the goods in the windows and
admiring the latest spring" fashions.
Then, suddenly, her ugly frown came
back.
Two girls had crossed the street and
were directly in front of her, a great

TOO TOUGH FOR THEM.
Disgust of Indians Who Could No,
Open Paymaster,s
Strong Box.

''The Apache Indians had a hard nu,
to crack when they got hold of our
payE1aster's safe" said the ex-sergeant
CT cavalry who was asked about his ex-
per1ences in Arizona. ION this par
ticular trip | was detailed with six
men to escort him. He and his clerk
rode in an ambulance drawn by mules,
and, of course, the escort were mount
ed. We were in camp one night be-
tween two forts, when we were jumped
by at least 1000 Indians. They killed
TWO men before we got out, and the
ambulance was left in their hands.
The paymaster's safe contained
about $1,000 in greenbacks. 1t weighed
something like 400 pounds, and worked
with combination. None of the red
skins had ever examined one at close
quarters before, but they all knew
what it was hauled about from post to
post for, and, of course, they were
anxious TO get hold of the money. They
first pounded off the knob with stones,
thinking the door could then be pried
open. II was failure, of course, and
then they tried their tomahawks on
the chilled steel, hoping to cut a hole
IN it. They had seen iron softened by
fire, and the third move was to give
thar safe three hours roasting. Luck
lily for Uncle Sam it was fireproof
They threw big rocks upon it willie
still hot. and it was denied here and
there, but they were as far from the
money as ever. After working away
for night and a day the safe was
ragged up the side of a mountain and
tumbled over precipice 200 feet high.
They expected to see it burst open, but
the only damage done was to break one
of the wheels off. 1t was left lying
where it fell for three or four days,
and the gang then turned and carried
it to the river and let it soak for whole
week. 1t was thought that this would
soften it up, and great was their cha
grin when baffled again. Then they
tried gunpowder, but. knowing nothing
of blasting. they brought about an eN-
plosion which burned half a dozen
warriors and left the safe as good as
ever.
The Indians were fooling with that
strong box for month or more. They
roasted it again, and they gave it an
other fall, and no burglars ever worked
harder TO get at the long green. They
failed to get at the inside, however. and
in disgust they tumbled it into a deep
ravine and left it. 1t was Il months
later that peace came, and we acct
dentally got track of the safe. An am
bulance and a guard were sent for it,
and we found it lying in the bed of a
creek with a great pile of driftwood
piled around it. 1t was lonesome
looking OLD safe, as you may suppose,
add nobody had the slightest hope thai
the money had escaped fire and water.
When we got it to the fort and blew off
the door we found the $1,000 snug as
you please. Some of the bills were a
little tender from the heat and some
had grown moldy from the water, but
Uncle Sam redeemed every dollar. and
the paymaster was made happy again.
When the Apaches heard of our getting
the money one of them, who had
worked hardest on the safe, growled
at me:
"'White man some fool, Indian more
fool, and iron box great big d-n fool"

publicans can put up.-St. Louis Re-

walk the plank under his civil service
order the country would like to have
him do it.-Kansas City Times.
The intention of the republican
members of the finance committee to
hold their conference in New York be-

1T would have been as easy to

when asked his opinion about the
Standard Oil trust he replies that it
has done more for Ohio than any other

this seems to be his view of other trusts.

1t is questionable which are loud
er, the rejoicings of republican spoils-
men over the destruction of the civil
service system or the protestations OF
republican hypocrites that the system
has really been strengthened by break
ing it to pieces. You cannot find re-
publican s.hustler' who is not immense

not make much more showing than
men like Secretary Gage who continue
to assert that there has been mo LETT

The president himself must by
this time see that an imperial policy is
n horrible mistake. He must realize
that war for the subjugation of an UNI
willing people, to drag into the United
States a population untitled for any OF
the duties of citizenship under highly
organized government, has no logical
justification. The president knows, for
he 50 declared in his Boston speech.
that imperial conquest is contrary TO
fha snirit of American institutions
Knowing that, why does he not rescue
the American army from the perils of
a hostile climate by ordering a cessa-
lion of the slaughter of people who
ask for nothing more than an opTor-
tunity to administer their own affairse

standing with her hand upon his shout
der, gazing down upon him with pity,
ing eyes, and he was telling about how
he missed the country, the song of the
birds, the low of the cattle, the croak-
ing of the frogs, and people calling
across to each other from their little
whitewashed houses, and he was laugh

Dry of it all.
Then Julia Gregg said, half timidly:
81 live in the country. Would you like
to pay me a visit?' and Mary Alden
pulled her arm.
Mamma would do it herself" said
Julia, in answer to the pull, and she
went on to tell the old man about her
beautiful home in the country, about
the fountain and the rose garden and
the horses and carriages and the woods
and the cool springs.
YES said the girl with the yell
low hair, you are to pay me visit.
I'm going to send the carriage for you
tomorrow"
Liny Poss cast one glance back at
the old man whom they left sitting at
the window. There was Overwhelmingly
happy look upon his face. Yet she was
angry-angry with Julia Gregg for Civ
ing the impulsive invitation, angry
with the friend for pulling Julia's arm,
angry with the old man who, without
any effort, was to have the happiness
of visiting at the great house, but above
all was she angry with herself for be-
ing angry.
john she said, ironically, to the
old horse as she drove homeward,
we're not good enough to be noticed
by stuck-up people; we don't belong
to an Old Mems home" Then she
added, bitterly: I'm mean and hate
full, John, and I don't deserve to have
people speak to me and invite me to
their houses" And then she whis-
pered: II really think she's lovely, and
/ hope he'll have good time
Mrs. Poss went into rhapsodies over
the rich girls invitation to the old
man; and she was mighty glad" she
said, that Liny had had the spunk to

go visiting to the. Old Mems home as
well as other folks; it cheered body
up and gave them something to talk
about.
Mrs. Poss and Liny wondered not q
little regarding the entertainment OF
the strange guest at the great house.
Would Julia Gregg take him around
the country driving? Would he go to
church with the family? Would they
keep him for the Fourth of July? They
looked out for him patiently and then
| impatiently, but in vain.
Like as not they turned him over
| to the kitchen folks said Mrs. Poss at
| last.
We'll" said Liny, reluctantly, Il
reckon he'd like that well enough"
Il don't know said Mrs. Poss, rich
peoples kitchen folks amt often over
pleased with visitors from the home"
'She was telling him about the foun-
tain and the rose garden" said Liny,
enviously. Il don't suppose he ever
saw a rose garden before"
81 reckon them kitchen folks shut
fled him back to town by the end o
the week. said practical Mrs. Poss.
''They might have kept him over for
the Fourth, being as they're going to
have fireworks in the grounds. / wish
I knowed how he enjoyed himself"
Liny, too. wished very much to know
how the old man had enjoyed his visit
to the country. and what he had
thought of Julia Gregg's fine home. A
vision of his bewilderingly happy face
would rise before her every time she
drove towards the city; whenever she
tied the horse square back of the
market, she would find herself think
ing of the old man.
IF 1 had half mas spunk, I'd go to see
him and ask him about his visit" she
said one day as she tied the horse.
Then she threw back her head with a
laugh and a blush. "Visitors are ad-
mitted any time of day" she said. "Tll
just cultivate my spunk and CALL"
Liny's cultivated spunk was not suffi-
cient to prevent her from feeling a
futtering sensation as she stood for a
the Old Mems home. Then her eyes
turned instinctively to the back win
dow, and she beheld the old man. He
was looking older and thinner; has visit
to the country had not frightened him
bit.
"Ma's right" thought Liny, "they
might have kept him over for the fire
works" Then she accosted an inmate
and asked the name of the old man.
That" was the answer, "ah, that is
Mr.. Daggett."
Liny walked across the room to
! where Mr.. Daggett sat, and he rose po-
litely and bowed to her.
Did you enjoy your visit to the
country" she blurted out.
| He smiled deprecating smile, as if
he did not quite understand.
ITO that girls beautiful home" said
Liny. Did you like the fountain and
| the rose garden? Sit down, Mr.. Dag
gett, and tell me all about it."
Mr.. Daggett sat down obediently.
"She was very NICE" he said, Every
pleasant, very kind. shouldn't have
bothered her with how 1 felt; she had
| other things to think about. hope she
is having a good time. Oh, know she
Is having good time; she lives in the
country"
did you have a good time?'' asked
Liny, her soul in her eyes. She was be-
ginning to believe that those kitchen
| folks had got rid of him before he had
time to look at the rose garden.
i '.She forgot" said Mr.. Daggett, in a
trembling voice.
