The GIoriacntion of Hanna.

Not content with his station as the
lightning calculator of the Administration,
Mr.. Grosvenor. Of Ohio. has essayed
new role in the character of glorifer for
Marcus Alonzo Hanna. Grosvenor is never
he is frequently so. His latest panegyrie
of his liberal master is evidence OF this.
We pass over his attempt to excite tears
and sympathy for the Cleveland boss in
the statement that the latter was horn in
a small brick house of poor but honest
parents. The parents may have been all
right but there is such thing as atav
ism; and we have known decent people to
come into the world in wooden structures.
Abraham Lincoln was born in log cabin.
But Grosvenor, who thinks John Sher-
man struck bottom in Ohio politics" long
ago. feels the need of showing that Hanna
is not only on top, but ought to be there
on moral and ethical grounds. According
to his statistical henchman. who certainly
deserves whatever is coming to him, Han
ma has never been either boss or mo-
nopolist In the campaign Of last year his
worllmen stood by him. doubtless remem-
bering the Industrial lockouts in many
places in 1886. He has always been sin

good father" If he has INDUCED in sound
business methods to secure votes in the
Legislature. let any other man similarly
eircumstanced cast the first stone
But Grosvenor's great point is that Han
ma has only been a coal miner, contractor,
and manipulation "in 4 very small way,
very small. indeedi'' This assertion is in
terestiEg in view of the fact that for years
Hanna has been the boss of the coal sup
ply at Duluth, largely at Detroit. and con-
sideTabiy, if not exclusively. at many other
lake ports. If he did not once dominate
the output of the Mahoning Valley. get out
all the coal possible, load Up his yards and
barges everywhere. and then precipitate
strike and rake in big profit. he is a much
misunderstood benefactor OF his race. If
he did not break up the lake seamens
union by resort to methods which we need
rot here characterize. then the local his
tory OF Cleveland is at fault
Grosvenor ought TO have taken warning
from the sad mistake made by Mr. Gage
in defending his chief from criticism on
account of the Spoils Order Mr.. Hanna's
character and record are 10 doubt of in

friends will not be doing kim any great
service in inviting their public invsstiga-

Three RAILWAYS.

Some shrewd observers say that one of
the biggest and most marvellous tasks OF
the next quarter of a century will be rail-
way building. This sounds prosaic, but it
is not as prosaie as IT sounds. There are
three great railways now in process Of
building or contemplation which Will cost

fortunes than most Of the wars Of ancient
history. There viii be romances enough

A Sensible Law.

There is new law in Illinois forbidding
the public exhibition of misshapen freaks
as we'll as OF criminals This is certainly
wise, though one would think it ought not
to be needed The morbid curiosity which
leads certain people to flock to see a wo-
man who has killed her husband, or
child murderer. is of the same kind which
attracts attention to misshapen person
on the street. generally to the distress of
the latter. In the public interest such
feeling should be suppressed, or, If this is
impossible, it should surely not be catered
to-
1t will be seen on reflection that this
morbid passion for abnormality is only
perverted form of imagination, and that
the way to do away with 1t is not to con-
denim it without thought. but to give, if
possible, something else in place of the
unwholesome objects of attention great
deal of more or less contemptuous FUN has
been made of the way in which the people
of country towns flock to funerals and the
gossiping proclivities of the people OF
such places; but, after all. it is the same
impulse which attracts audiences to
theatre to witness realistic presentation
of great tragedy. The uncultivated mind
feels. dimly indeed the wonder and mys-
terry Of death. the eternal interest which
attaches to human life, wherever lived;
the cultured man and woman read their
novels, live their refined. gentle self-con-
tanned lives. go to the theatre and the
opera, and satisfy the same instincts of
our common nature in a more delicate
way.
Of course, it would take time to reform
a gossiping community, even with all the
attractions in the world to distract the gos-
sips from the affairs of their neighbors
Perhaps it could never be done thoroughly.
But there are in rural communities many
women who are fretful and discontented,
sometimes mischievous, because they have
been forced into lot in life which is
wholly dull and uninteresting Placed in
different environment. with varied in
! terests to occupy their attention, they
would have been happy and useful mem
bers of society. This is a matter to which
attention might well be given by those
who become for a few weeks summer
boarders" in country community. If
they take little pains they can find some
of these starving souls, and supply them
with mental food. In an American COM
munity. books and newspapers are almost
always blessing to the lonely. for almost
everyone can read. If the city visitor
/ bestows upon some growing family or
lonely woman in the country village, few
stray magazines and newspapers, or sum
mer novels. and after returning to the
city, sends to that little village some of
the things which are needed there, as much
good may be done as by much more
costly contribution to the missionary
society.

Jnnnn,s Emnncinntion.

1t IS no exaggeration to say that the
treaty between the United States and
Japan, which went into effect yesterday,
marks distinctly new and quite a happy
era in the social. industrial, and CONNER
cial inter-Gelations of the two countries.
By its provisions the doors of the Japanese
Empire swing open on golden hinges to
welcome the people Of the United States
into social and industrial equality with the
Mikado's subjects. The avenues of trade
hitherto limited to the five treaty ports of
Yokohama, Nagasaki, Kobe. Hakodate, and
Nigata, have been extended so as TO in
ciude every port and every village of the
kingdom. Under the provisions of the
treaty. extraterritorial privileges have
been abolished: American citizens are now
strictly amenable to japanese Jurisdiction.
The rights and obligations OF American
property owners have also been clearly
defined. They are now allowed to purchase
property and to hold it in legal possession,
and they are also required to contribute
their just proportion in taxes to the sup
port of the State. Property owned by for
taxation. Americans in Japan are hence
forth by the terms of this treaty. to have
The same rights and privileges as well as
the same obligations as the Japanese. What
is true of Americans is equally true. with
slight notifications. of the citizens of the
other nations with whom Japan has re-
Gently concluded a series of highly sfgnifi-
cant treaties.
1t would be but faint expression of the
popular will to say that the people in the
United States regard this treaty with
Japan, as well as Japans treaties with
other powerful nations of the earth. with
feeling Of genuine satisfaction.
Ever since the little Yankee people of
the Far East set their faces westward and
began to aspire toward the high ideals
and larger liberty Of Western civilization,
there has been. perhaps, no nation more
sustaining in its encouragement or more
sincere in its sympathy than the United
States. With confidence in the earnestness
Of their purpose and in the political
capacity Of the japanese character. public
men in this country have watched Japan S
persevering methodical emancipation from
her ancient condition of feudal bar
tarism. With the friendliest interest
the people of America have observed the
growth of the Mikado's Empire in all those
characteristics and attributes which give
strength and grace and moral security to
nation. 1t is only natural. therefore,
that Americans generally should rejoice
that Japan has at length received what
she so richly has deserved-a cordial. sin
cere, and generous welcome into the hos
pitabIe family of the great social and COM
mercial nations Of the earth.
