Hanna StIII at the Head.

In spite of the fact that certain
republican papers are attempting to
convey the impression that Senator
Hanna will not be in command of the
republican organization in the cam
paign of this year, it is evident that
he will direct the party movements as
kinley's candidacy. IIcs has con-
trolled the policy of his party in con-
gress and of course his word has been
law with Mckinley. He dominates
the party organization, and the re-
publican national convention will do
as he directs. He will manage the
national campaign and we may look
TO see the same methods used as in
1895. Clean republicans may find fault
with him and abuse him as much as
they please, but thew will be COM
PEELED to submit to his authority for
at least one more campaign. He is
already making preparations for the
work he proposes to do. and his plans
arc fairly clear to those who have
watched his movements. a large
campaign fund, an iron discipline
and n scare for the men of large in
comes will be his principle implements
of trade. He will &c the whole thing
in the campaign. and will use his inn
plements as he so well knows how.
Conditions are not SO favorable for
tho use of the Hanna methods as thev
were in 1896. and his influence will
not be so great As it was then. but he
may be expected to get all there is out
at the situation. desperate AS it
promises TO be.

in endeavoring to expose the adulter-

There is an old saying that "you
can't eat you cake and have it," but
the case of the loan of $25, 900, 900 to
Russia just made by New Workers
comes pretty near upsetting that
theory. The money, although loan
ed to Russia, is to be expended in the
United States for the purchase of the
products of American labor as well
as capital will profit anew by this
cumulative prosperity which loans
the wOrkingmen at home. And yet

you that this is merely "fctitious

is because Of the lack Of American
shipping to carry our goods direct to
the South. Most of our business in
that direction has to be conducted In
foreign vessels and most of the goods
