10 deny that the letter in which Richard olney,
of Boston, Mr. Cleyeland's Attorney General and
Secretary of State. states his reasons for sup
porting Mr.. Bryan and desiring the defeat of
Mr.. Mckinley, is a powerful appeal to the con
sorvative voters.

The Folly of spItefuI Discrimination

OF course, any attempt to discriminate against
Mr. Bryan, the Presidential candidate OF one Of
the great historic political parties Of the country
by the representative Of one semi-public corpora
ton or any aggregation Of such corporations
must react heavily against the devi-ers thereof
The folly, as well as the futility, Of such a
petty exhibition of spite ought to be Obvious
especially in view Of Baine's experience as a
result Of the Burchard incident, to the most
purblind Of Mckinley partisans. 1t Is a de-
liberatc invitation TO defeat

Shanghai stories of Mnssacrcs.

Nothing could be more hcartless than tie
persistent dissemination OF reports OF massacre
Of missionaries in China. Most of these come
from Shanghai. Though that place is known
as nest OF the most fertile and ingenious liais
on earth, these reports cannot hut give exquisite
pain to friends who can obtain neither con-
frmatiou nor contradiction OF them. The prsc.
tice had some defence in the excitement and
mystery of the early stage OF the trouble. which
inilamed the imagination aud blinded the iudg.
ment. 1t has no excuse now, when most OF
the horrible reports invented then have been
entirely disproved.

TO result from the Commissions work.
Both Bixby and Needles are politicians of
ordinary attainments, and though Mr.
Breckenridge has had considerable exper-
fence in Congress. yet it is complained
that he shows incapacity for the work he
now has in hand because he is not a law

started by influential white men in the
Indian Territory TO make an elaborate
representation to the President of the
shortcomings of the Dawes Commission
with the view of either having its mem
bership revised or the appointment of
skilled lawyers to aid the Commissioners
in their work.
Bryan on Schicy.-One of the most
important features OF Mr.. Bryan's great
speech at Cumberland. Nd. last Tuesday
evening. appears to have escaped general
observation. The fact that Mr.. Bryan re-
served this particular feature for his out
door performance shows that he had
worked it up for the accomplishment of a
special purpose. for by far his biggest au-
dieDce was the one he addressed in the
open air. He had worked his audience into
frenzy Of delight by painting to them in
swift bold strokes the character and
achievements of the military heroes of the
war with Spain, both OF the army and
navy. To every one of these heroes he
gave proper need of praise, and carried
the crowd with him to the conclusion that
none of them had received more than was
his desert. Then turning to the naval bat,
tie of Santiago. and describing that affair
in glowing colors, he wound up his de-
scription with the declaration. artfuliy
worked into a climax, that "Schley had
destroyed Spain's proudest fleet at San
tiago." The noise that his Maryland
auditors made showed that Mr.. Bryan's
shot had hit the right spot. He did not
refer to the humiliation that had been
heaped upon Admiral Schley by the Adj
ministration. He simply had shown by
contrast how inadequate was the reward
given to sehley for a performance which
the military experts OF the world are be-
ginning to realize was one OF the most
notable OF modern war. It IS believed that
this incident simple as it appeared upon
the surface. viii cost Mr.. Mckinley more
votes in Maryland than any other single

Mr. Hnnna's Poyerty.-A startling
revelation has just been made at C,eve-
land, which shows that the Hon. Mark
Hanna, instead of being a plutocrat. is
one OF the poorest citizens of the Repab-
lie. II all came out through the office
of the assessor of Cuyahoga County. Mr.
Hanna has made sworn return to this
meddlesome official showing that the
| value of all his personal property is
only a little more than nine thousand
dollars This return makes Mr.. Hanna S
tax bill for the year very small. and. as
before stated, shows that he is a poor
man. Ii is suggested that If Mr.. Hanna
continues much longer TO devote hims Elf
to the interests of Mr.. Mckinley he viii
be a bankrupt for il is well known that
when Mr. Hanna first entered public life
he was worth many millions. 1t is re-
called that his first great stroke of
craftsmanship and act of patriotism con-
sisted in contributing literally to the
fund raised to pay Mr.. McKinley's debts,
which were accumulated because cen
fessedly Mr.. Mckinley was a statesman
and not a business man But this patri-
otic act did not cost Mr.. Hanna more
than fifty thousand dollors. declare those
who profess to know all about It. His
senatorial campaign did not cost h N
much according to the statements Of
himself and his liutenants. Mr.. Hanna $
living expenses are not nearly so heavy
as are those of twenty or more other
statesmen at Washington who have ac-
quired a great deal less fame than has
Mr.. Hanna. What then. ii is being
asked, has become of MIR. Hanna's for
tune? 1t is not believed that he put all
the money for Mr.. Mckinley in the last
campaign or that he has been drawing
on his own bank account for the Presi=
dents benefit in this campaign. And
yet Mr.. Hannas sworn statement re-
Gently made at Cleveland shows him to
be almost a pauper.i

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.

Croker in ContrOi.-All accounts OF
the situation at Saratoga preliminary to
the State convention which meets there
tomorrow, agree that Richard Croker is in
complete control Just how Croker Is
going to utilize his opportunity is the sub
iect of varying speculation. Beyond ne
fact that he is uncompromisingly opposed
10 the nomination OF Bird 5. Cole- TO-
Governor, nothing of definite character
is known of the Tammany chieftain's pur-
poses II is known positively that week
ago Croker's programme called for the
nomination OF some pronounced Hill man
! for Governor from up the State. In this
category were Stanchfeld and Earl, to say
nothing of half dozen others not so well
known. By nominating a Hill man with
out seeking the aid of Hill, Croker expect
ed to gain credit for magnanimity which
he has not heretofore enjoyed, and at the
same time would have drawn the lines so
taut around Hill that the Sage of Wolferts
Roost would have had no satisfactory
public excuse to sulk or kick. This. of
course, would have made Croker the abso>
Lutte and undisputed master of the party
in New York, and put into his hands the
weapons which Hill has used so effectively
for coZen years or more. Getting wind OF
this plot early in the game, Hill set to
work to checkmate il by taking up Coler.
BY forcing Coler's nomination Hill would
be in better position to fight for con-
troll of the State organization than he would
be if Croker succeeded in debating the
nominee, even though that nominee might
be a Hill factionist. To avert the cOusum-
nation of Cookers scheme Hill has eX-
tracteo pledge from nearly every up
State man Of availability not to enter the
gubernstorial race as long as Coler was
in It. 1t is known that he has induced
John p. Stanchfield and Judge Earl TO thus
pledge themselves to him. This throws
Croker in the air little higher than the
Tammany boss cared to be tossed at this
time. and seems to give Coier just wee
bit of a chance. At the same time there
are other innumerable upstate men who
have not pledged themselves to Hill as
Stanchfield and Earl have done. and Croker
doubtless Is now negotiating with one or
half dozen of these. Then, too. there is
Edward NJ. Shepard, of Brooklyn, who has
become reconciled to Bryan. and has come
back to the fold full of penitence and 10y
atty. Shepard. however, is a pretty posi-
tive sort of citizen, who. If nominated,
might want to be consulted about the man
agement of the campaign, and il elected
might insist upon running the Governor
ship to suit himself. In view of this PROP
ability it is not unlikely that Shepard
will stand a poor show at Saratoga. Con-
sidering all of these prospects and con-
ditions, it is evident that the State con-
vention at Saratoga will be an interesting
affair from the Opening TO the close.
