Wichita, Oct. 5.-Mount Hope is in the

discussed at the sewing circles and upon
the street corners. And it was made an
issue at the spring election, the town

BOSS VS.. BOSS

Hanna's attack on Croker for being a
boss" and standing in with the trusts
is carrying the war into Africa" with a
vengeance Commenting on the incident
the Chicago News says:
Mr.. Hanna has thoughtfully pointed
out some Of the evils which have been
engrafted upon American politics by
rapaciOuS and constituencies Democrats
In address to the Commercial Travellers
league he has shown that Mr.. Croker is
a most sinister person whom all good
citizens should condemn and cast out
In the first place. Mr.. Croker is a
boss If there is anything that Mr.
Hanna reprobates it IS a boss" A
boss IS a man who gains undue inffu-
ence in the councils of his party. who is
thereby able TO Overturn the viii of the
people and TO promote political schemes
which are repugnant to the conscience
of the people. Mr. Hanna's persuasive
eloquence is scarcely needed to demon
strate the perils inherent in the institu-
ton OF boss-ship- But Mr.. Croker, as
Mr.. Hanna points out, is not only a
boss" but a boss" who maintains
UBIQUITOUS alliances with trusts. Thus
he lnjects into the policy of his party
an insidious preference for measures
which may give unfair advantages to
soulleSS mOnopOlies-
This, indeed, is a highly dangerous
situation. If the councils Of a great
party may be unduly detected in favor
OF graSplng corporations the people
ought to know it-and mr.. Hanna pro-
poses that they shall. By going a mere
step farther the eloquent senator might
have shown that If a tariff bill affecting
say Porto Rico for example, were pend
Democratic, the wicked boss" Mr.
Croker, might intervene and secure the

ct his friends the trusts regardless Of
