Results of War With Spain.

1.-The results of the war with Spain are
not accidental. The destiny which has been
written for this country must be fulfilled
in the natural order of things. 1t was but
one step forward in the direction of the
duty set for us to do, and no matter what
influences may be thrown around us to
impede our progress, it cannot and will not
stop.
Il do not care whether you call 1t impe-
rialism or expansion. The destiny of this
country is written and any party or COM
bination of men that attempts by any sub
terfuge or makeShift in politics to stop the
power and progress of the nation will
go down under 1t just as the demo-
cratic party has gone down. We are
proud of our record; We are proud of
our business experience, and we are glad
to have had the opportunity to demonstrate
to the world that the policy and business
principles of the American people meant the
civilization and christlanization of the whole
world. 1t is that success in material things
which gives US that opportunity and makes
1t possible to accomplish these great results
Ohio to Sound Keynote.
Now that We are embarking in this new
policy, and now that this government is
confronted with the responsibilities which
are open to us, ask the republican party
in Ohio. we did four years ago to sound
the keynote to the balance of the Union
to express her confidence in her great lead
er, our President; to show by the interest
campaign their confidence in that leader
ship, i'll their determination to stand Loyalty
by him and his policy. His courage during
all the dark days of that war and MANY
complications which succeeded it has never
failed for one moment. And l want to i'm
prove this opportunity to say in this pres
ence that there has never been an hour, no,
not moment, that he has not been in
touch with his party in Washington.
THE consciousness that he is prepared
for and is meeting every difficulty, deter
mined to do what seems best and right for
the people in our insular possessions, at the
same time maintaining the dignity and
prestige of our own country and protecting
our labor and our industries-that feeling
that he is doing right has enabled him to
call to his support that aid which always
comes to a strong leader of men, and, no
matter what collateral issues may be ar
ranged in the coming campaign, l know
that the people of the United States feel
comfortable and confident when they know
that William Mckinley is at the Wheel

OHIO'S CALL TO THE UNION
SENATOR HANNA SOUNDS KEYNOTE
OF NEXT CAMPAIGN.
Says Destiny Has Placed Us Where
We Are-Asks Who VIII
Turn Back.

Senator NJ. A. Hanna addressed the Ohio
republican convention at Columbus yester-
| day afternoon. His speech was received
with much applause and was taken as the
keynote of the coming campaign. He said
| in part:
LAS your chairman has said, the republic
cans of Ohio and the republicans of the
United States are confronted today with
| many new propositions and issues thrown
around us like tangled grass in our path
| way by the democratic party attempting to
raise new issues upon every move o. policy
made by the government, seeking some
issue. some opportunity to manifest their
opposition to the policy of the republican
party
Il say the spirit of the hour is one of
absolute fearlessness on the part of the
republicans. We are conscious as your
chairman has said. of having fulfilled every
promise made We took this country into
our hands and under our care after four
years of the greatest vicissitudes through
which we have ever passed in history.
At our convention in St. Louis we an
nounced the policy and the doctrine of the
republican party, upon which had been
bulded the material interests for twenty
odd years. We promised such reforms and
economic measures would produce ma
terial benefits to the issue, and went
farther and said that we would go beyond
even the ideals of our fathers in the great
results which must come from the perpetu-
alton or such a policy. The best evidence
of the success of that policy IS in what
have accomplished and achieved as affect
ing the material interests of this country.
Growth of Our Export Trade.
Your chairman made some statements
with reference to the growth of our export
trade. Why, he did not state half of it.
The balance of net trade in favor of the
United States during the last century pre-
ceding this administration amounted to
S311, ,000, 900. In one hundred years that was
the net balance to the credit of the United
three years of the administration of Presi-
dent William Mckinley the net balance. as
shown by the books of the United States
treasury. is 81, 400, 100000. 1t is 81, 100 O00-
600 more accomplished in those three years
than had been accomplished in 100 years
preceding. And then, looking into the face
of such results. l repeat your chairmans
words, DO We want changer
do want any different business COM
binations for US? Do we want any differ
ent policy for the American people than
that which is building up and making us
the greatest, the richest and the strongest
nation on earth? The laws of commerce,
regulated by the best economic measures.
as infallible the laws of nature We
have proved to this country and to the
world that policy of economics is ire
sistible and must succeed, and in the few
years of trial that have had under this |
administration We have proved that in the |
ratio of progress, every year looking ahead
to our enormous wealth and gain shall |
be made stronger and be given far better |
and wider opportunities to do good in the |

There seems to be prevalent and grow
ing impression among the very large num-
ber of representative business and profess
sional men who are substantially interested
in the measure that strong influences are
at work to prevent the Senate committee on
the District Of Columbia from making re-
port on the bill passed some time ago by
the House granting a franchise to the
Washington Telephone Company. The bill
was introduced in the Senate and referred
to the District committee, and therein re-
ferred to a subcommittee consisting of Sem
ators Proctor chairman; Hansbrough, Mar
tin Stewart and Kenney. The bill as passed
by the House was that drawn up by the
District committee as a substitute for the
one originally drawn by the representatives
of the company and the latter agreed to
abide by all its requirements. 1t is current
ly reported, however, that an attempt is
being made by opposing interests to delay
any report on the measure to the Senate

A VALUABLE SCOTCH TERRIER.
Mr.. N. B. Guthrie Presents the Ledger
Han With a Fine Specimen
of the Breed.

The man that does the heavy stand
ing 'round and most of the cussin' for

tions to M. B. Guthrie, proprietor OF
The Ortiz Fruit Farm, for a dog-not
an every-d day, common, onery cur, but
canine that comes from royal line OF
ancestors whose Iineal descendants
date back to Bonny Scotland In her
merriest days. It Is full blood Scotch
terrier and very magnificent speci-
men Of the breed. This particular dog
is 30 frightiully homely that he lie pos
itively beautiful--when you get well
acquainted with him. His brain is
prodlgiousIy bright, but one would not
suspect il. he is one of those very
busy and industrious "purps" that Is
always nosin' around lookin' for
suthin', be hardly knows what. He
has an eye that never sleeps and pos
sesses an appetite that lie seldom at
rest. He is not yet q year old, but as
he has been to the dog shows he
knows whole lot. In the dog king
dom he is a prodigy and is highly
priced by his new owner.
Roxburg, the sire of this dog, before
his importation, was one Of the great
est prize winners in the British isles,
and has since kept up bis brilliant
show record in the UnitedStates, ,nota-
bly, at the New York show last winter,
at Boston and at other eastern cities.
He was winner In his classes over all
other dogs at the Crystal Palace Show
In London in 1895, and ls the most
noted Scotch terrier sire in the United
States to-day. His dam is Ortiz Fan
nile, now owned BY Mr. Guthrie. We
need not comment on Fannie as the
winnings OF her produce at the differ
ent dog shows IN the last two years
speak for themselves.
