AS to NJ. A. Hanna,

To Bryanite, Mr.. Hanna ia like unto
a red flag to masculine animal of the
bovine species and on a Mugwump Ish-
maelite he has the same effect as a GRIM
son shawl on turkey gobbler. Says
the Springfield Republican in this chaste
language:
"Mr. Hanna appeals to the mind and the
heart Of the American voter through his
belly. This is a business proposition
was q phrase that ran through his Cooper
Union speech like cash register refrain"
Certainly the question of the re-
election of Mckinley is "a business
proposition" 1t is a question of pa
triotism and honor and progress, and
the most and best and greatest civiliza-
ton in a concrete and sentimental
sense, but as whole it is fiat busi-
ness proposition.
No man living can say with truth
that Mr.. Hanna was ever guilty of
dishonorable act, or that he was ever
connected with a dishonorable trans
action. In his business, political and
private life his character is beyond
proper reprosch. 1t is easy to abuse
him; it has become a habit in the
anti-everythings and the Ishmselites,
but any friend of Mr.. Hanna can defy
them to give an instance where he ever
did mean thing. Those who know
him best will endorse every word of
this. Mr.. Hanna is a plain business
man in the fullest sense. He is plain,
direct and emphatic in speech and &C.
ton. He calls treason and dishonor
and every variety of political lunacy
and villany by these names. He knows
no other names for them. He calls
liar liar, not a gentleman who may
possibly at some time have deviated in
some slight degree from strict accuracy.
He doesn't use that form Of expression.
He calls fraud a fraud, for the same
reason that the old Dutchman called
his boy Jacob, "because dot ish his
name" He talks and acts straight
from the shoulder, and his words and
deeds hit like the crack of political
doom.
Mr.. Hanna, in his speeches, places
causes and results before his hearers in
plain language which can easily be
comprehended by any intellect AS
business man of immense interests and
wide experience he tells them what is
for their best interests and what in the
nature of things will happen under
certain circumstances. His judgment
such matters is valuable, and he
gives his audiences the benefit of it.
He speaks for the business interests of
the country, and the unit of this bust
ness is dollar. So he keeps that unit
before their eyes, as representing what
they may or may not receive for their
labor. The dollar which they can earn
represents their ability to feed and
clothe themselves and their families;
the dollar which they may not be able
to earn represents want, pauperism
and starvation. These things mean
much to the ordinary man, and he puts
the question squarely to them in nut
shell.
So they say in their wrath that "Mr.
Hanna appeals to the mind and the
heart of the American voter through
his belly" They forget that if he had
nothing to eat mind and heart would
not serve him long, and to appeal to
man through his stomach is far prefer
able to talking to him through his hat.

The Vermont correspondent OF the
S Springfield Republican says:

The Yer mont correspondent OF the
Springfield Republican says:
The Bennington Reforn,er, published by
James II. Livingstone Of Bennington,
changes it's political creed from an ardent
supporter of the Mckinley administration
and Of the Republican party for several
years past, including constant defence Of
high tariff, to the support hereafter of Bry-
an and the Democratic party. Mr.. Living
stone is Republican, who has become dis
gusted with the post-ofice and other scam
dals of colonial government, and has no
longer any sympathy for the administra-
ton of Mckinley"
This is what Mr.. Childs says, but the
people will wonder what the real facts
in the case are, to the small extent that
they take any interest in Mr.. Living
stones evolutions. The understand
ing is that some combination of Demo-
Gratis have paid Mr.. Livingstone liber-
ally for his high moral change of politi-
cal heart, and have thereby secured an
organ.

The name of Hon. Seneca Haselton
of Burlington and Hon. John H. Sem
ter of this city are also mentioned as
possible candidates of the Legislative
Democrats for Supreme court judge
ship. Both stand high in their party
and out of it, and each will enjoy the
distinction of the judicial ermine as
soon at least as will Mr.. McGet.rck.
They can begin to assimilate this con-
ISOLATION at once.

There is nothing like confession to
clear away the mists from the soul. The
Boston Sunday Globe says of the Bos-
ton Young Mems Democratic club:
"The Young Mems Democratic club is
not having much success in its polls on the
resolution which called for an Endorsement
of Bryan and population of the Kansas
City platform sent out by mail to the 700 or
more members of the club two weeks ago.
Half of the replies indorse Bryan but not the
Kansas City platform. and the other half re-
fuse to indorse Bryan or the Kansas City
platform either"

The indications now point very de-
cidedly to the defeat of Col. Albert
Clarke in his contest for the Congress
sional nomination in his Massachusetts

Judging from current State press
opinions, there is large sentiment
prevailing among the political ma
jority in favor of Democratic repre-
sentation on the Supreme Court bench,
or on the various commissions, and it
is certainly to be hoped that in Offering
candidates for these places the minor
ity will aim TO deserve the concession
by the presentation of their very best
men. If Democrat is to be recog-
nized in any case, a second-rate one
will not be tolerated by the majority.
There are able and honorable men OF
the highest personal and professions al
standing in the Vermont Democracy.
Doesn't the party know it?

the sympathizers of the bolomen in

how ling with renewed energy that

that General Butler can get through if
he is prepared ito sacrifice 5000 or 5000

LONDON, Feb. 5.-2:3O p. m.-The war
office is silent as regards General Bull
Ter, but there is every reason to believe
he is continuing his movement upon
Ladysnith. Those who are in a posi-
ton to know confirm his reported re-
crossing of the Tugela river and believe
he was engaged Friday. The message
from Ladysmith Thursday, saying the
Boer forces were leaving again and that
the besieging force was considerably
diminished tends to confirm this. .r-
. Field Marshal Lord Roberts has mott
fed the war office that 40 Highlanders
who We're previously reported killed at
Magersfontein are prisoners at Pretoria.

United States Flour Milling Company to

New YORK, Feb. Sit is reported
that plan for the reorganization of the
United States Flour Milling company
has been perfected and will soon be Off
cially announced. There are to be assess
ments on both common and preferred
stock to repair the working capital,
which was much depleted through the
purchase Of additional mills. 1t is also
intended to redeem the outstanding
81 100000 6 per cent gold bonds and re-
place them with another ISSUE Inter
ests identified with the Great Northern
railway, it is said, will subscribe to the
new bonds. The alternate proposition
to sell the recently acquired mills, the
report of which led to the statement
that the company was disintegrating,
has been abandoned. President George
Urban, Jr., Of Buffalo, is expected to re-
tire, and Vice President Jacob Ames
will be identified with the corporation

Northern Pacific Makes an Important

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-The Northern
Pacific has purchased from the Standard
Oil company its interests in the western
section Of the Everett and Monte Cristo
railroad terminals in Everett, Wash. 1t
is more important than appears on the
surface, because the Northern Pacific
will build up Everett as it Puget sound
headquarters. 1t will come into direct
competition at thst point with the Great
Northern. The terminals are extensive
and adequate. The particular reason
why the Northern Pacific bought the
road is to secure more terminals for it's
growing Pacific coast business. Tacoma
terminal facilities proved too small and
Seattle was too exacting. The North
,ern Pacific will handle the Standard
Oils business over the ire Just pur-
chased. ,g s 4.

PREDICT DEFEAT.

London Military Critics Dismayed by Re-
port of Buffers Advance. a
LONDON, Feb. 5.-Heliograms flashed
from Ladysmith three days ago say that
the Boer investment lines before there
were thinning and that the besiegers
were moving in force towards the
Tugela, thus indicatinga collision was
expected there. All intelligence bears
signs that General Butler has COM
menced fresh attack. The war office
continues to reveal nothing of what has
happened in Natal. Without exception
the military critics regard with dismay
the prospect Of q further assault unless
General Butler has been heavily rein
forced, and there is nothing to indicate
that that is the case.
Lord Kitchener has been travelling
from army to army. in Northern Cape
Colony and General French, by instruc-
tions, is now in Cape Town consulting
with Lord Roberts. Large engineering
constructions are proceeding at Modder
river, suggesting that
Lord Methuen's Fortified Camp
has been selected as the base from which
to invade the Free State.
The bitter feeling Of the Dutch against
the British has possibly suggested the
opportuneness of an organized attack
on Sir Alfred Miner by the ministerial
ist press, which has printed an article
believed to have been written by Mr..
Merriman, secretary Of the Cape treas
ury, demanding Sir Alfred Miners

" DEs MONIES, Feb. 5.-In the case Of
West VS.. Ill, in which the supreme court
rendered a decision that closed most Of
the saloons in the interior towns Of
Iowa, application for rehearing was

The petition was accompanied by mo-

motion the court granted the stay and
issued an order to that effect. This
places the question in exactly the same

I have come here in the interests of
peace. I was strongly urged to do SO
by English and American friends in
stead of going to Pretoria as was at first
intended. Tt was contended that sy1n-
pathy for the two republics was rapidly
growing in America, that it could be
deepened and strengthened by the clear
understanding of the situation and
causes of the war. I was urged to Sec

the direction of conciliation and media
