SATURDAY, JUNE 3. 1899.
The Ohio Convention

In reviewing the work of the Ohio Re-
publican State Ccnventicn it Is diihcuit
to tell which most to admire, Marcus Aion-
20 Hanna or the platform. Both are no.
BILE monuments of Republican political
methods. On the whole we incline to Han
ma The CHEEKY grace and ease with which
he allowed Foraker. Bushnell. Kurtz. and
McKisson to wipe him from the face CT the
earth and then, in the moment OF his eX-
pectei political death, sit up in the coffin
and quietly annihilate them with a heav-
euly smile and the cyclone CT Nash's NOM
inat:on is as marvellous a thing as anyone
can find between the covers Of the Ara
bian Nights" Hanna is a magician, with
the philosophers stone and big wallet In
his pocket. He can trarsmute the useful
metals not 10 mention coal. into gold. and
men into monkeys without trouble. though
we will not go the length OF saying with
out expense. Recalcitrant Ohio politicians
OF his party have now tried several falls
with him, and they have nothing to show
fer it but black eyes and court-plaster.
Hereafter there will be harmony in Mr..
McKinley's Buckeye army. The Foraker
lamb shall lie down with the Hanna lion
and have the inside place.
The greatness of the boss tends to OBJ
scure the beauties of the platform. but it
is not the less worthy of attention. In it
those noble Republican political principles.
mendacity and hypocrisy, have been work
cd until both must be lame in the back.
we commend the President for the ju-
al; iGanf Of fb ri,r;1
rules recently promulgated" In that SEN
tence there is not doubt that the platform
builders spoke from their hearts. But for
these 'judicious notifications" there would
not be any spoils of Office to work for or
divide, and we will do the Ohio Repub-
lcan politicians the justice of saying
that no other class in the United
position to the merit system or in al
always demanding return to the infam ous
spoils system that formerly was scandal
and disgrace to the country. The ''ju-
dicious notifications amount to a de-.
struction of civil service reform for the
remainder of this Administration, and
Ohio is happy, Of course.
The antitrust plank of the platform
stands forth from its artistic setting with
"A broad and audible grin. 1t denounces
trusts, yet its trainers and its inspiration
know that the money to buy the next Pres
idential election must and will be squeezed
from these same trusts. 1t was they who
subscribed most of the sixteen milion-dol-
far fund in 1896. and who. under promises
of favorable legislation between 1901 and
1905. will contribute the fifty million dol
lars the promoters of next years campaign
expect to gather in and use.
AS remarked at the beginning of this
humble tribute of praise, we are at a loss
TO know which most to venerate and wor-
ship, Hanna or his platform.

MOURNING FOR HETTY GREEN.
Her Legal Residence Mt
Bellows Falls.

Bellows Falls. Vt. June 3.-The glory
has departed from Bellows Falls. Mrs.
Eetty r. Green. who for many years has
paid taxes enough to claim this place as
her home. pays taxes on personal property
no longer. Last year she paid on $4,000.
Edward H. Green, trustee, her husband. en-
$40. GOO. and Mr.. Green in his own capacity
on 5000.
This year the only item that appears in
the list is Mrs. Hetty II. f. Gresn, one
house. $40. COO. This is what is called the
Green summer mansion. 1t is understood
that for purposes of litigation Mrs. Green
desires TO claim a residence in New York
or an adjacent New Jersey suburb, and
so will list in no personal property here
for taxation.
1t is understood that the Greens will
continue to come here for two months dur
ing the summer as usual, but some are
fearing that since she began hobnObb ng
with aristocrats at Newport humble Bzl-
lows Falls will not be good enough for
her.

Company. with $!5,00e.o eco: the Nat.onai
Tube Company, with $50. .oCo.Ct0: the Amer
lean Hide and Leather Company. with SIo.-
0Oc.0o0; the Republic lion and Steel Com
pany, with S55 eG0, eco. and various smaller
companies with SIS, ,ooe, 900 capital each.
These organizations have been effected
notwithstanding the fact that further State
ard Congressional legislation is proposed
to prevent such aggregati0ns OF cap tai,
and also in the face of the fact that such
stocks are not considered safe by many IN
vestors.
They have been formed with the knowl-
edge that there is case-that OF the Ad-
dys;on Pipe Company-pending before the
Supreme Court of the United States. which,
if decided unfavorably to that company.
will enable the Federal Government to
reach and restrain such trusts as enjoy a
monopoly of their products. 1t would seem
that those engaged in organizing thsse
companies are certain that the Supreme
Court vii! decide favorably to that cor
poraticn, or they would wait until the de-
cis:cl is announced before proceeding to
organize like concerns.
Money is great power. When distin-
guished railroad organizer of the West
many years ago wished to consolidate sew
eral railroads in Indiana, and he was told
by his attorneys that his scheme was un-
constitutional. he is reported TO have an
swered: Il have hundred thousand COL
lars to make it constitutional" And the
men who go on forming trusts in the face
of the opposition of political parties and
business men and farmers must have as
much confidence in the power AID omnipo
tence of dollars as the railroad promoter
referred to. 1t remains to be seen II their
confidence is justified.

The Origin of MOdesty.
From the LondOu CIobc.)

In a recent number of ''The Psychological Re-
view" Havelock Ellis has interesting paper
on The Evolution of Modesty.'' in which he
seeks to show that modesty is founded on a fear
of disgusting others. Hiram NJ. Stanley. of Lake
Forest. ILL.,, controverts this view. and argues
that real modesty comes from regard TO ones
own feelings rather than the feelings of others
Miss Hapgood, in Russian Rambles," ~ has rela-
ted that when she went to battle with Russian
women she had to dispense with bathing cos
tune. otherwise they would have thought she
was concealing some personal defect. Mr.. Stan
ley supposes that the Russian women had 4 fear
of disgusting others, but real modesty Mod
esty. he maintains. is feeling of dislike to dis
play Of any kind. deiicacy and refinement a
mode of self-respect. The blush Of modesty is
the converse Of the pallor Of fear Acts Of mod

The last reported case of train dynamit-

What should be done to prevent such acts
Of scoundrelism? The arming of guards

to be insisted upon by the authorities Of

Extension of the franchise at present linn

tion of government from Downing Street

larged autonomy.
The representatives of the junta say that
the government Of the colony is put ex-
slusiyely into the hands of British, While
the natives have hardly the shadow of any
rights or privileges. All the offices are fill
ed by fayorites of the crown, some being
''notoriously incompetent and corrupt"
No recognition is given a native Guianan

a Demand Of the Woman Lawyer.

CMilwaukee Correspondence Chicago Inter OCEAN,
Miss Kate Pier called Postmaster Stillman
this morning. and complained that the architects
Of the Federal building made serious mis-
take when they omitted looking glasses in the elo-
vators, and that it is very unpleasant for the
women lawyers to go into court without knowing
whether or not their hats on straight. She
wants mirrors placed in the elevators at once.
Mr.. Stillman promised to do what he could to
have Miss Piers wish gratifed, and will imme-
diately communicate with the authorities at
Washington. There several typewriter oper-
afors in the Federal building who will no doubt
join Miss Pier in her complaint if necessary.
