rhe woman is believed to be insane. Il
is not thought she is al anarchist.
The police learn that the womsn's name is
-elms schnapEe. She says she ia forty years
I'D and WAS born in Italy. Though the police
believe the woman is insane, the fact that
he is from Italy makes them suspicious and
they are investigating to ses if she is con.
neeted IN any way with Int.lisn anarchists.
The woman was wretchedly dressed. IL was
discovered later that the axe did touch the
carr age before falling to the road The crowd
which was in he street at the time Of the in

Of fun1s were fruitless. Some people

this be true, if a corrupt man ia needed'
then the selection Of Senator Jones was

20 aims to be seen whether the wealthy
or the producing classes OF the land will
be benefited by the reelection Of
President Mckinley. 10 lew months
they may be very sick OF him.
Mr.. Hanna bought away from Mr..
Reed the Presidential nomination of
| 1896 and secured it for Mckinley whom
hs expected to control. He was made
O hartman by the republicans. He ralseh
al enormous sum Of money in 1895 and
al 20 10 1900. 1t ia the fashion Of some
psrsons to sscribe to him high ability.
The is a very foolish assumption. Mr..
Hanna is o type Of the vulgar, COM
monplace, rich, brutal Northern up
start. Quay, Plat, Elkius, Chandler
and others are greatly bis superlors.
The process of raising money for re-
publican campai 70 fluid is very simple.
The rich meu and corporations who
want bouuties aud monopolies from
the government are approached and in
formed how much they are expected
to put up il they want any favors from
the party. A set of joObers or rail-
road company that has vast interests at
Washington is told, "We need quar-
ter of million from you as your qootS,
or it may be half million. We want
it now right away. II we win, you can
get It back by our favor four-fold, or
perhaps ten times as much. But you
| must give US your contribution non,
or we will lose the opportunity to serve
you. You know that you have moth
ing to expect from the DEMOCRATS If
they win." This kind of eloquence is
very effective, but a hundred repub-
licans could employ it as well or better
than Hanna. As for Hanna's stump
speeches. they have disgraced his party
and aided the democracy. His brutal
reign is not popular with any self-re-
spectiug republican, and it may be
d lu bted whether he is not dead
weight on MS party. Il Is significant of
the infinite degradation OF public morals
in the Uaited Sta es that such person
as Hanna ia 90 conspicuous and iuauen'
t al in a great political party.

Mrs. Weed called upon those present

should be taught" she said, "why their
fathers gave up everything, even life
tself. for the principles Involved"
