WHY THEY COMPLAIN.
Reasons For Which the Democrats OPP
pose Senator Hanna.

Reasons For Which the Democrats OPP
pose Senator Hanna.
There is an incessant horn-blowing
in the Democratic an disorderly
sheets throughout the country against
lark Hanna. The row itself is q
nasty noise, unseemly and outrageous.
There is a bowling squealing snort
ing, shedding of froth and caricature
by pen and pencil about and of Sen
ator Mark A. Hanna of Ohio. This is
the greatest possible evidence of the
eminent usefulness of Mr. Hanna
What is it he has done to arouse so
much animosity, and about which the
professors of enmity toward him make
such a row? The concert they
get up includes the wall of wildcats,
the long-drawn cry of wolves-hungry
wolves at that, the music of the rat
tlesnake, the snufiiing of cranks. They
are all after Mr.. Hanna, and the cold,
skinny crawling of copperheads, husky
yells of anarchists, representatives of
the evil conditions of Europe, are fea-
to be personally offended by Mr.. Han
ma. What is the matter with Hanna?
He is the man who made a correct
diagnosis OF the conditions of the ma
tional contest of 1896, and was the gen
eralissimo of the forces that electec
Mckinley and Hobart, president and
vice president; carried the house by
strong majority and afterward gained
northwestern states so that the Re-
publicans have majority in the SEN
ate. Mr.. Hanna more than any other
man saved the public credit of this
country, and that was worth thou
sands of millions Of dollars to the peo-
pie, and preserved the prosperity with
the honor OF the nation. That's what.
Is the matter with Hanna.

The Absent Minded Man.

Among the poor creatures OF this
life who desire the sympathy of their
fellow beings, and who instead are
made the batteries of many a'jibe and
jsst, are tAe big army of absent-mlnd-
ed people.
Now, for instance, there's Mr.. -.
He lives on Blank street, the third
house from the corner of another
street. He is known in Columbus bus
mess circles as one of the shrewdest
and 1t is said of him that he was never
Identified with a business venture that
Fit did not prosper But alas, he is alb

barrassing, but for the life of him ne
cant help it, The other evening he
started to walk from his Office to his
home for dinner. Instead he walked
in the opposite direction and brought
up as a well known bank, where he
was accustomed to do business. Good
day MIR. Blank; what can l do for
your" the cashier called to him.
Blank looked foolish and went out,
lie had walked four blocks out of his
way, but that's nothing; sometimes he
forgots to so to dinner altogether.
One day Blank took his offspring, a
bright little girl, out fer 4 I,rundle in
,-e baby buggy. He went As far as his
oMce and leaving the child on the
pavement, to be gone for a moment
only, went in, became absorbed in
some letetrs and totally forgot the

tue little one away; a policeman took
cnarge of her and the lost little one
was taken to the police station. 1t
was not until Blank went home to sup

baby was that he remembered of hav-

rageously Perverted - "ws Have 10
Use For John r.. MoLsAn."
The Cincinnati Enquirer gave anoth-
or forcibls illustration of Mclean cam
paign methods when It printed under
sensational headlines an alleged inter-
view with John C. Fennimore of Co.
lumbus, a prominent commercial trav-
eler and the editor of THE Sample
Case" in which Mr.. Fennlmore was
made to criticlse the Mckinley admin
istration. 1t was intimated that the
commercial travellers would all support
Mclean this fall. Mr.. Fennimore was
quoted as saying: The travelling men
are up in arms everywhere against the
evils they now suffer as result of the
present policy of the national admin
istration."
Mr.. Fennimore was asked whether
he had been quoted correctly, and i'm
mediately denied in strong terms that
he had used any such language. He
said

Wireless Telegraphy in Prac-
tice.

For the first time wireless tele-
graphy was put to practical test dur
ing the races between the Shamrock
and Columbia. 1t was success,
though its practicability under other
conditions is not absolutely assured.
Moving boats accompanied the
yachts on their course. From these
dispatches were sent to receiving sta
tions along the shore. The messages
wer accurately transmitted and easily
read. In addition, there was no less
of time, as the relative positions of the
yatchs were known in news centers of
new York without the loss of more
tan half a minute of time, or a min
ute at the furtherest.
The system of wireless telegraphy is
explained in novel way in a news
item in the Public Ledger 1t says "a
batter understanding may be had by
Illustrating the system by means of
tuning forks. Two forks of the same
key will respond sympathetically each
to the other, if el,her is set in motion.
Forks of dissimllar keys will not eff
feet each other, even though they be
brought almost into contact. So It is
with the Marconi instruments. Ar
ranged by the masters hand, a score
may be stationed about and each will
respond to any signal from an of the
others. But by simple reversal the
apparatus may be indlvldualized and
signals exchanged between two, while
none of the other eighteen will re-
spond."
1t may be said that this late test was
under favorable conditions, though Sig
Marconi has sent messages across the
English Channel and really believes
that he will yet send them across the
Auantic, without the use of submarine
cables. 1t certainly seems possible.
Some of the best electrical talent in
the world is engaged upon the unsolv-
ed problems of wireless telegraphy.
Success in the widest way seems pos
sible, if not probable.-Com. Tr.D.

CONSTITUTIONAL.
Philippines Ours by "the Supreme Law
of the Land "

PHI IippInes Ours by "the Supreme Lrw
of the Land"
The United States acquired the Phil
ippine Islands by the Paris peace
treaty, ratified by the senate. Article
vi of the constitution says: "All
treaties made or which shall be made,
under the authority of the United
States, shall be the supreme law of
the land"
The presidents oath of office is: ~
do solemnly swear that / will faith
fully execute the Office of president Of
the United States, and will, to the best
Of my ability, preserve, protect and de-
fend the constitution of the United
States"
Hence, if President Mckinley relin-
qulshed the Philippine Islands to Agui-
naldo he would violate the supreme
law of the land" and would lay him
self liable 10 Impeachment proceed
ings.
The only alternative is to preserve,
protect and defend the treaty, which
is the supreme law of the land" That
Is all that President Mckinley has
done.

Finish of the Jockey.

NOVEL suit AGAINST
A DIVORCED WOMAN
Charles W. Smiley's Contract
With His Former Wife.
The Court Asked to Enforce an
Ante-NnptiaI Agreement.
Peculiar Domestic Relations Made
Public Through n Petition
in Equity.

a novel suit in equity was filed yester-
day in the Supreme Court of the District.
The question involved is the power of a
woman to sign away by written contract
before her marriage her prospective dover
in property belonging to the man she has
decided TO marry.
The suit was filed by Charles W. Smiley
against his wife, Elizabeth L. Smiley, who
some time ago by decree of Justice Cox
was divorced from the plaintiff and also
allowed alimony in the sum of S25 per
month. Suit is now instituted by Smiley
for the purpose of having the court en-
force an alleged agreement made between
him and his wife previous to their mar
riage in November, 1890. The contracting
parties are cousins and according to the
terms of the agreement between them a
copy OF which is filed as a part of the COM
plant it was agreed that neither OF them
should claim or assume any control over
property owned by the other before their
marriage.
AT the time OF their marriage both of
the parties owned real estate in their own
right in fee simple, and it is alleged that
the ante marriage contract between them
was made for the purpose of protecting
lLtll iiSHio III thtii Scpui att
estates.
The domestic life of the Smleys ac-
cording TO the affidavit of Mrs. Smiley filed
with her petition for separation, was pc
culiarly unhappy. In her petition she set
forth that before their marriage her hus-
band had been her adviser in all financial
transactions, and that i'll relation to these
matters she actually had no mind of her
own. At one time she loaned him $1,000
70 IN, hit md No
security for the money advanced. She
also stated that soon after their marriage
her husband made out a list of petty Of
fences against himself which If she COM
mitted he would compel her to pay penal
ties in sums ranging from cents to 81.
She also alleged that he forbade her to
visit his home. because, he said, her pres
ence disturbed the atmosphere in which he
must live. At the time Mrs. Smiley was
granted a separation from her husband
Justice Cox also appointed Emma NJ. Gill
lett trustee TO take the title to certain
real estate purchased with the separate
funds of the petitioner
In his complaint filed yesterday Mr..
Smiley alleges that before his mar
riage with the defendant an agree
ment was entered into between them,
according to which neither was to
lose his or her title to certain real
estate owned individually before mar
riage. For some reason, he says, that con-
tract was not signed but about year
later. in May. 1891, a contract similar in
every material particular, was made and
signed by his wife and himself. The ar
tlcies OF this latter contract upon which
the present proceedings are based, are as
follows:
AT the expiration of three years from
| said marriage either party shall have the
privilege of asking for its annulling, ant
| in that event both have hereby agreed tc
| aid in every possible way to accomplish q
