The Posing of Hanna,

II there ever was a man with an abso-
an audience that man is Marcus Alonzo
| Hanna. He was talking to a crowd of
plain Americans in South Dakota when he
said:
Forget that / am a United States Senator.
| Forge, that Chairman of the Republican
| National Committee and consider that | one
| Of your kind Of fellows!"
The question whether Senator Hanna is
paying any compliment to the honest
American farmer by claiming kinship with
him may be suggested by this. There was
jackal once who tried to curry favor with
a crocodile by addressing him as brother"
but the crocodile did not like It as well as
! the jaackal thought he would.
The average man hates being patronized
little worse than anything else. Even
| when he is patronized by some one he rec
ognizes as his superior in certain direc-
tions he does not like 1t. When a man is
really democratic, and anxious TO meet his
fellow beings on common ground, he sell
dom needs to advertise the fact or to urge
them to ignore whatever advantages he
fact, he thinks very little about advan-
tages of any kind. He forgets that he ever
had any, and after he has been talking for
a little while they forget it also. 1t is not
necessary for man to have been a farmer
or a mechanic in order to have this power
of getting on with all classes. All he needs
is an honest, frank, cordial spirit and a
real interest in things which interest 9TH
ers. The average man also dislikes a per-
son who tries to seem what he is not, and
the rich man who puts on the air OF pow
erty is no more respected than the laborer
who tries to ape the rich. The Southern
man respected, even In reconstruction
days. a Northerner who frankly and sin
cerely stood by his convictions, but he had
very little esteem fo\the toady who pre-
tended to admire Southern institutions for
the sake Of worldly advantage. The Eng
lishman does not admire American apipg
of English manners. and the Briton who
comes to this country and tries to acquire |
a Yankee accent-if such thing ever hap
pens-will appear ridiculous and undigni-
fed II a man is rich let him not pretend |
to despise riches. II he is poor let him |
frankly accept and admit the fact, and dig |
nifty his poverty by his character But |
when rich man comes before an au- |
diencc of ordinary folk and exciaims, Go |
TO, now, l am one of you" the ordinary
man gives mentally II not actually a boot
Of derision. Ii is not necessary to be an
orator to have common serse or to UNDER
the speeches of the Chairman of the Re-
publican National Committee would be
more successful IL he would
now and then study the character Of the
people to whom he talks. but perhaps

PROPOSED HAVANA LOAN.
A Commission Appointed to Discuss
Certain Notifications.

HAVANA, Oct. 20.-The municipality of
Havana today appointed commission to
wait on Senior Dearmas and ask him if he
was satisfied with the notifications of his
original contract TO float loan for certain
improvements. According to the new plan
the loan is to be put up at auction with
80 as the minimum price for the per
cent bonds. The commission was also au-
thorized to state exactly how the money
should be spent. The amount of the. loan
will probably be s25,000,O00. The munich
pality will probably appoint commission

The New York Herald" which, perhaps
partly because its proprietor lives in Paris,
is very friendly to Russia, Is industriously
working up boom for Russia, urges
President Mckinley to propose reference
Of the whole Chinese question to the perma-
nent tribunal of arbitration at The Hague.
We will not criticise the "Herald's" mo-
tives. not knowing what they are; but the
proposition has its difficulties. The Kaiser
would not be very likely to submit the ques-
tion of national honor, involved in his
grievance against China for the murder Of
Baron Won Ketteler, to arbitration. Other
wise, perhaps an agreement to arbitrate
might be reached. But The Hague tribunal
has not yet been completed. Only two or
three countries have named their repre-
sentatives on its bench. Besides this, the
judges will all be citizens or subjects Of one
or another Of the powers interested. II that
be not a serious objection, 1t must be con-
sidered that reference to the tribunal
would entail a long and perhaps dangerous
delay, during which all kinds Of things
might happen to China to rerder action in
Holland useless. Mr.. Mckinley has lis
tened to the voice of his Ohio advisers and
has cut and scuttled. Possibly he would do
well to leave it at that for The present.

New York, Oct. 27.-There was a
manifest disposition to sell stocks and
take profits today. The appearance of
an unexpectedly favorable bank state
ment gave a momentary check to the
downward movement, but the rally
was taken advantage of to increase
selling, and the whole list gave way
closing weak and at the lowest prices.
Net losses of between one and two
points were recorded in not few
stocks, but both in the industrial and
the railroads. the week has been of
great speculative activity in stocks,
and has afforded an oportunity to
make very large holdings.
The incident of the week has been
the continued advance of silver to the
highest level in four years, and the
apparent elimination of a rise and
slight reaction. Bonds as well as
stocks responded to the awakened pub
lie interest, some issues gained sub
stantially in prices.
Money loaned at four per cent. The
total shares traded in numbered $780,
