Senator Hanna is the best repre-
sentative Of the Republican party
as it exists to-day, of its sordid com
merc1alism and disregard Of prin
ciple which is not ia, short Of being
as brutal as it is shameless. He is
has held its following by concealing
its true character, and putting on a
pretence of honesty With Hanna
himself as a candidate for the pres
idency, there would be an end of
this pretence, and he would not get
single electoral vote outside of a
few that he might be able to pur-
chase IN the mining camps. In
this connection the Philadelphia
Times says: s'rhis is one reason
why Hanna will not be candidate.
Another is that the Republican
party will either repudiate him en-
tirely or divide iuto fragments long
before 1904. Already his partial
unmasking in the subsidy bill has

The old agitation Tor the abolish

fully strange that in this enlightened
and progressive age, when street
fairs have become almost a par, of
the daily routine of a governors
life, Keeping him almost constantly
on dress parade, such questions
should be asked. What, let US sug-

The Fruits Of MiDitarism.
Boston Globe.
Visit one of the European capitals and
you soon learn what militarism is. The
staggering officer who never earned an
honest dollar in his life crowds the plebeian
women into the mud, is utterly contempt
uous of the common herd, and upon slight
provocation, when in his cups. will run any
unarmed civilian through with his sword. He
knows no law but the law of and the
code under which he serves. For the rest
he sets the pattern of immortality and
debauchery for the people.
