Most Americans are aware that the
man who more than any other is anx-
ious to see the Hanna subsidy job ac-
complished is Hanna himself. This being
the fact. it is perhaps strange that he
should have jeopardized the golden
scheme of his friends and himself by
speaking in its favor as he did in the
Senate yesterday Whatever may be
thought of Mr. Hanna's achievements on
the stump during the late campaign. it
must De candidly admitted that he is not
a public speaker of the Kind fitted to
hold forth in the Senate In that dignifed
body the man who Is not a scholar is
the rare exception Perhaps Mr.. Hanna's
painfully apparent illitsraey would not so
much matter Il, with it, he did not show
himself incapable Of suppressing those
faults of temper and inaccuracy which.
however useful he may find them in pro
vincial business life, do not operate TO
adorn him when. unfortunately, he Is
tempted beyond the power Of resistance
to speak in the forum.
Nj. Hanna's remarks on his subsidy Job
in the Senate yesterday must be regarded
from two distinctly opposite points of
view. IN the first place, they viii be con-
sidered with satisfaction by all persons
who desire the defeat of one of the most
reprehensible and corrupt legislative
propositions in the history OF Congress.
Nothing that could be said against the
measure probably could do 1t as much
harm as Hanna's speech in It's favor. On
the other hand. every lover OF his eoun-
try, proud of its reputation fer states
manship, must feel Inundated in knowing
that such set Grafton could by any pos

Mr.. Duer is termed by his partisans "a

law in the politics of Montana that there

Peculiar Performance Of a German

NEW YORK, Dec. IA crowd OF soc
men and women struggled with each 9th

Andersen first attracted attention by
gathering around him crowd OF whom he
haranged about his trip to Germany to-
morrow. After telling them he had made
a barrel OF money as contractor, he told
them he would demonstrate It. He pulled
out a handful OF gold pieces and began
throwing them to the people. There vas
q mad scramble to get the coin and the
crowd constantly continued 70 increase.
In the crowd were some hard looking
fellows, who were anxious TO get Ander-
sen to go with them. They promised to
take him home. They were so persistent
that Special Policeman Hanslein took An
dersen in charge and the crowd nearly
mobbed him

in his possession 100-mark notes, $40 and
$40 gold mark pieces, Sf,55e in gold coin,

fance of the late Lindley Murray, Mr..
Hanna defended Senator FrYe's pet
measure" from the shafts and assaults CT
the enemy. he said, referring to some
thing Senator Gig said few days ago:
His remarks clearly insiuuated that the
motives of the meu who decided to pass
this bill we're impure" And he shouted .
For my part, I resent even an insinua-
ton that my motives are other than the
highest-those of public servant desir-
ing to serve his country in the best way
There may be some excuse for Mr..
Hanna. in his anxiety TO defend his mo-
tives, since they have been the subject of
some-possibiy unwarranted-pnblic sus-
picion; but there is less, perhaps, for the
amusing vanity with which he projects his
personal equation into solemn debate.
For example. it was simply refreshing to
hear him say: Now. when I came into
the Senate three years ago I was fully
conyersant with the needs of the merchant
marine, and was placed on the Martins
Committee Ga new one to us) as cozn-
piiment TO my knowledge" Surely. it was
a great compliment. Mr.. Hanna reminds
enc Of the inland logger who applied for
shipmaster's license on the ground that,
although he had never seen the ocean, he
knew all about it since he had been en-
gagged FER twenty years in getting out tim
Der for masts
1t is said that Mr.. Hanna closely imi-
tates the oratorical manner and gestures
of his famous model, Mr.. Mckinley Per-
haps it might also be said that he at
tempts to initiate the platitudinous Ian
guage of that great mans state papers.
The following sentence would seem to
justify such a charge. In his speech yes
terday he said: IN my great experience
with the maritime business on the lakes

The eurIed tail of an annual message
could not be more sententious than that.
Where Hanna rises TO mountainous
height is in his handling OF statistics. He

What Is mystic? The dictionary
gives us an answer perhaps, but one
wants IN a thousand cases something
more than the dictionary. We like to
make definitions ourselves. This Is q
stronger tendency than we suspect. A
mystic Is a man who makes his own
definitions.
l knew a man many years ago in
country town where | lived who was
typical nonconforlnst and an ex-
ample Of self reliance. He was withal
a man of strong character and did not
ask anybody's good opinion. He was a
cabinet maker and always spelled bu-
reau "buro." A man to whom he sent
bill said to him, "rhls Is not the way
Webster spells bureau" "Well," said
he, "this is the way | spell it, and l
have as good right to my way as
Webster has to his" He was mystic

called the same thing "the morning
