pocket while Senator Hanna instructed
the auctioneer to label the republican
convention Sold now turns out to be
wort rthless or nearly so. Mr.. Hanna is
compelled to make an undignified
scramble for what he can get from the
thrifty Phiiadelphians by way of com
promise for his check. He is said to
have scaled the indebtedness to $780,
600, but of this less than one-half, or
100000, is actually pledged. Mean
while Mr.. Hanna has been forced to
take what ready cash the committee
chose to give him and to return to cam
paign headquarters with the old, old
necessity of liberal fat-frying still
staring him in the face.
The trouble is that it is too late for
reprisals. Philadelphia has the con-
vention and any attempt at changing
the assignment would give rise to ma
tional scandal. OF course the commit
tee is collectively and severely indig-
nant that the convention was not award
ed to Chicago, whose refusal to bid
for it with d cash bonus and whose
ample guaranty to pay all the ex-
penses had at least the merit of honesty.
But regrets will not now help mat
ters.
Let us hope that Philadelphia will be
generous enough not to require the
members of the national republican
committee TO pay their own expenses.
That would be charging our bucolic
friends for the privilege of being swim
dled.-Chicago Chronicle.

THE SAME OLD TRICK.
Trusts Raise Wages for Campaign
Purposes. Then Recoup ny Low
ering Them Again.

With the opening of the campaign or,
ders are going down the line of the
trust industries to increase wages, and
from now on the news columns of the
syndicated press will be filed with
statements of this kind. We will be
told with a flourish of trumpets that
this. that and the other institution is
enjoying such a flood of prosperity that
it has increased the wages Of its en-
pioyes 10, Is or possibly 90 per cent;
but very little viii be said about the
basis on which this increase was made.
Ten or 90 per cent. advance cuts but
little figure with the man who receives
81 to Sc a week salary, but it will do
to run campaign on. Then, as soon
as the election is over the trusts can
recoup their losses by again reducing
wages, as they did in 1896. The people
will hardly forget the strikes and lock-
out. and government by injunction,
and wretchedness and poverty and mis-
cry that have prevailed in every state
during the Mckinley era, and if they
are wise they will register their pro-
test before it is too late. There can
be no general prosperity among the
people while the trusts and the banks
control the peoples money. Free
money makes free men.-Mississjpp

fast as ever they could; an6 to run
away was the best thing they could do,
1or when Old Rather struck one of them
with his fangs all was over with him.
So there were many in the canyon,
beasts and birds and snakes, too, who
hated Old Rather, but only few dared
face him. And one of these was Gilt
te-shield, whom men call the King of
Snakes, and in a minute 1 shall tell
you why.
And when Old Rather was doing all
that L have said, the King Snake lay
low on bed of pine needles, behind
a bunch of fern, and watched with
keen, sharp eye. The angry buzz OF
Rattler's tail, which scared the chip
munks and the bullfrogs and all the
rest of the beast folk, was music for
GlittershieId. He was snake, too. and
snakes understand some things bet
ter than any OF the rest of Us.
GlittershieId was slim and wiry il

but not so large around. His coat was
smooth and glossy, not rough and
wrinkiy like Old Rattler's. and his up
raised head was small and Fretty-fCr
Il snake. He was the best dressed CT
all his kind, and he looked his finest g :
he faced Old Rather. His head was
shiny black, his throat and neck "a
white as milk. while all down his body
to the end of his tail he was PAINTED
with rings, first white, tEen black, thel'
crimson, and every ring was bright
as if it had just been freshly poll, hcG
that very day.
So the King Snake passed the shell
tering fern and came right up to Old
Rather. Rather opened his sharp eyes.
threw himself on guard with sEaI
and a buzz. and shock his boEY CAP
pers savageIy. But the King of Snakes
vas not afraid. Every snake has
weak spot somewhere. and that is the
place TO strike him. If ne hadn't q weak
spot no one else could live about him.
and then perhaps he would starEe tc
death at last. If he had not some strong
points, where no ole could harm him,
he couldn't i've himself.
AS the black crest rose. Old Rattlcr'S
tail grew cold. his head dropped, his
mouth closed, he Strengthened cut his
coil, aud staggered heiplessly toward
his hole.
This was the chance for Glittershield.
With dash so swift that all the rings
on his body-red, white and black
melted into one purple fash, he seized
Old Rather by his throat. He carried
no weapons, to be sure. He had neither
fangs nor venom. He won his victories
by force and dash, not by means of ad-
vantage. He was quick and strong.

HANNA's GOLD BRICK.
The Ohio, Sure Thing Boss Runs
Up Against Film Flam
Game.

1t does not violently wrench ones
conception of the peculiarly Philadel-
phian standards of moral probity to
find that the good and great Senator
Hanna has been made the victim of
a confidence game. A community that
not merely stomachs but idolizes Quay,
that has water steals, municipal build
ing steals, and other big and little steals
too numerous to mention, is not likely
to balk at little matter like bogus
check.
The surprise, if there is any. comes
from the unmistakable evidence that
was caught mapping. For once the
memories of Wanamaker's princely
contributions to the republican rain
making fund were allowed to becloud
his business sagacity. The great
prestidisitateur was lulled to a sense
of false security by an ordinary bit of
handwriting. Surely, we may imagine
Hanna as reasoning, the city of broth
erly love at least can be trusted. If the
center of republican sanctity and the
domicile of holy John himself is not
worthy of our faith then whom in this
vale of tears may we trust?
Eut this is just where Mr.. Hanna, like
the agriculturist who buys gold brick
and carefully carries it home, trusted
once too often. He took the word of
the smooth Quakers that their check
was genuine and that the funds were
behind it. The republican campaign
committee needed cash-$10o,00 of it
--and the republican national conven-
tion was solo to the oleaginous gentle
men from Philadelphia for piece of
paper. about two by eight, with GER
tain hieroglyphics on it. The latter
now turns out to be about as efficacious
in producing the coin of the constitu-
tion. for which the republican cam
paign languishes, as would the cabai-
istic characters on an Egyptian papy-
rus.

A POINT WELL TAKEN.
Well-Founded Protest Against the
Administration Policy OF
imperialism.

Congressman Bailey, of Texas, had
good warrant for his protest to the eff
feet that, while the minority of the
rules committee of the house agreed
with the majority as to the propriety
of the creation of a congressional COM
mittee on insular affairs to have juris-
dition over all matters excepting
those affecting the revenues and the
appropriations pertaining to the is
lands which came to the United States
through the treaty of 1899 with Spain,
and TO Cuba, it did dissent from the
idea that the committee should be
created for the purpose of "permanent-
ly dealing" with the islands.
1t will be well for congress to remem-
Der that the United States government
is not yet definitely committed TO the
permanent holding of the Philippines
or to the annexation of Cuba. 1t is true
that the administration policy as au-
thoritatiyely outlined by President Nc
Kinley declares that we cannot abandon
the Philippines, and hints al the pos
sible necessity for annexing Cuba, but
not until a majority in congress shall
have voted to sustain the presidents
policy will it go into effect as debating
and controlling government action
The debate and the vote on this vital
question are still to come, pending
which provisional action alone may be
taken with propriety.
The democratic minority in congress
stands opposed to the administration
policy of imperialism, and its plain duty
is to combat that policy with an unceas-
ing loyalty to the sound American prin-
ciples that forbid its acceptance by an
American government. The issue must
be fought out before the American peo-
ple-it must not be taken for granted
that it is already settled because the
president has urged Imperialism in his
message to congress. Powerful as Is
the administration influence, the time
has not yet come for permanent deal-
ing" with the Philippines as an Ameri-
can colonial possession.

spring and took the frost out of the air
and the rocks, then ne crawIed out to
lie until he got warm. The stream was
clear and swift in the canyon, the
waterfalls sang in the side gulch OF
Roaring river, The wind rustled in the
long needles of the yellow pines, and
the birds called to their mates in the
branches. But Old RATHER did not care
for such things. He was just a snake,
you know, and his neighbors did not
think him a good snake at that. for he
WAS surIy and silent, and his big three
cornered, ''coffin-shaped" head, set on a
slim, fat neck. was very ugly to see.
But when he opened his mouth he was
uglier still. for in his upper jaw he had
two long fangs. and each one was filled
with deadly poison. His vicious old
head was covered with gray ard wrir-
kled scales, and his black. beadlike eyes
snapped when he opened his mouth to
find out whether his fangs were both in
working order.
Old Rather was pretty stiff when he
first came from his hole on the morn
ing of this story. He had lain all night
coiled up like rope among the rocks,
and his tail felt very cold. But the
glad sun warmed the cookies of his
heart. and in an hour or two he be-
came Timber. and this made him happy
III his shaky fashion. But, being
warm, he began to be hungry, fer it
had been a whole month since he had
eaten anything. When the first new
moon of August came, his skin loosened
everywhere and slipped down ovY his
ewes like veil. so that he could see
nothing about him. and could not hunt
for frogs by the river nor for chip
munks among the trees. But with the
new moon of September all this was
over. The rusty brown old coat was
changed for a new suit of gray and
black. and the diamond-shaped check
ers all over it were clean and shiny as
a set of new clothes ought to be.
There was little striped chipmunk
running up and down the sugar-pine
tree over his head. pursing his little
mouth and throwing himself into pret-
ty attitudes. as though he were the
center of an admiring audience, and
Old Rather kept steady eye on him.
But he was in no hurry about it all. He
must first get the kinks out of his neck,
and the cold cramps from his tail.
There was an old curse on his family,
so the other beasts had heard. that kept
him always cold. and his tail was the
coldest part of all. So he shook it lit
tie, just to show that ii was growing
timber, and the bone clappers on the
end rustled with sharp, angry noise.
Fifteen rattles he had in all-15 and a
button-and to have so many showed
that he was no common member of his
hated family. Then he shook his tail
again. and more sharply. This was to
show all the world that he, Old Rather,
was wide awake, and whoever stepped
ON him would better look out. Then
all the big beasts and little beasts who
