DISGUSTED WITH HANNA.

| Before Mark Hanna became the die,
| tator of American politics, other corrupt
and corrupting men had now and then
exercised undue Influence upon political
parties and conventions. Grant suffered
| by companionship with unscrupulous
men who made merchandise of legisla-
| ton and the execution of laws. 1t re-
| NAMED for Mark Hanna. with vulgar
display of himself. his contempt of the
decenees. Of public life, and his wanton
disregard of common honesty in public
matters to utterly disgust respectable
men of all parties with the degradation
to which the country has fallen when
a man of his low instincts is the most in
innate friend and adviser of the chief
magistrate of the country. 1t is nothing
short of national scandal and a
national disgrace. If Mr.. Mckinley
owes Mr.. Hanna, let him pay the debt if
he has to ask Congress for an appropria-
ton. 1t would be less scandalous fol
the taxpayers, as we'll as less burden
some, to pay the Presidents debts than
to have him under the malign infiu-
ence Of a man who hasn't the first con-
ception of political propriety.
The papers that supported Mckinley
are beginning to be disgusted at the in
timacy of the President with the most
notorious corruptionist the country has
produced. The Boston Herald, speaking
of Mr.. McKinley's visit to Thomasvilla,
Ga, as Hanna's guest, is inclined to
doubt if it is a good political move, if
the report of the scheme which Hanna
has on foot in connection with pecuniary
affairs in Cuba is reliable. 1t strikes us
as unfortunate that the head of a great
money syndicate in that island should
be in intimate association with the
occupant of the White House. We are
not disposed to credit that there is any
thing wrong here, but it is well to have
regard to appearances. in view of the
frame of mll.. which a good many
of the American people are reaching
just at present"
That sentiment is shared by all who
whether they agree with Mr.. Mckinley
in politics or not, have felt that he was
an amiable and personally honest man.
Here is a sample of the man Hannas
methods, as telegraphed to the New
York World:
Brunswick, Ga, March 20-Politics?
He'll. No. said Mark Hanna when asked
tonight whether politics would be dis
cussed during the Presidents stay at
Jekyl
"We didn't come here to talk poll
tics.
This is trip for rest. If we wanted
to talk shop it would not be necessary
to come all the way to Jekyl Island for
the purpose
No American can read that from
the Presidents most intimate friend
without regret that such a person
should dictate American politics. Glow
long can such creature shape public
policies and dominate the chief magis-
trate of the country?

HOW LONG CAN IT LAST?

The absorption of all lines of industry
by trusts and the capitalization of mil
lions Of dollars worth of water is not a
good evidence of prosperity. In fact it
is the opposite and gives pause to con-
sentative business men. The United
States Investor. of Boston, which less
than year ago declared that this coun-
try was entering the greatest era of
prosperity ever known" sees the clouds
gathering in the commercial sky and
says:
1.-THE outlook is distressing. We have
gone on supremacy unconscious of what
we were doing, until we have evolved a
state, of affairs from which escape is inn
possible without great hardship. An
enormous number of Water-logged bust
ness concerns, known as trusts. have
been set afioat: in the smash that it
bound to come the certificates of these
organizations will sell at their real value.
whic4 means an appalling loss to in
vestors. The end will be FASTENED by a
diminution in the consumptiye power of
the country, due to the dislocation of a
great horde of employees whom the
trusts have elected from positions pre-
viously occupied. We cannot imagine
a much worse state of affairs"
The watered stock will mostly find its
way into the hands of men as simple as
those who buy green goods" and after
the promoters" have worked it off on
them. then the collapse will come. The
destruction of the independence of small
industries is the beginning of evils great
er than our commercial and industrial
life has known.

Touching the row about the opera
tons in Abbeville county of Peg Leg
Williams, the emigration agent, and the
requisition for him. the Anderson Peo-
pies Advocate remarks: What these
people are kicking about we cannot see.
This is one of the fairest portions of
Abbeville, but it has suffered from ne
gro blight until white people cannot live
there scarcely, and the value of those
magnificent lands has deprecated fully
one-half. 1t should be a blessed thing
if at least four-fifths of the negroes
should leave there and let it Till up
with white farmers on small farms.
Their lands would appreciate in value
until it would be like it is here in An
derson county, where the great bulk OF
the population is white, living in good,
comfortable homes, and the lands worth
S15 to $50 an acre. All through that
section around Calhoun Falls the negroes
live in squalid homes, their farming is
on the patchwork order, while the large
landholder gets his rent for the little
holdings. There is no real farming ex-
cept on the smallest scale and by the
| most primitive methods, and what Is
done is with no higher purpose than
to exc out the barest existence. That
country would blossom like rose if
there wasn't negro in it. This is
what we have ben saying, but the Alb
beville people don't seem to like 1t.
