MARK HANNA'S MISTAKE

Mark Eanna's defiant and domineer-
ing r~tteraAces are characteristic of the
man and especially significant of the
condition of his temper on the eve of the
opening Of the Presidential campaign.
II is evident hat the Republican Boss
is counting confidently on the potency Of
the S3U,U bv 600 TO he contributed by the
trusts for the purpose OF insuring the
reelection of Mr.. Mckinley 10 the
Presidency of the United States. 1t is
an influence with which he is already
familiar. In 1886 1t was, more thar any
other one factor, the cause of the sue
cess OF the Republican ticket Hanna is
true to himself in preparing for the
Fight of 1900 on a Doodle basis.
With his supreme confidence in the
power Of sluSh-fund organization to
overcome the will of the people, it is not
strange that Hanna should be iDdiffer-
ent is To what he considers minor forces
in the approaching battle. 1t is eminent
~ natural that he should announce his
entire as to whether the peo-
pie called the administration policy "ex
paGsion or imperialism" II the Hanna
slush fund works all right the people
viii have little to say in preventing the
application of that policy. And Hanna
agrees with Mr.. Mckinley that this
Republication Of American principle is
manifest dcstiny''-it Is Gods will that
the Republic should be transformed into
an Empire.
The burly aud bullWhacking Republic
an Boss has a severe bun saluiary lesson
awaiting him. In November he Is very
likely TO learn that the American people
do not believe that 1t is the destiny II
this great Republic TO lind its end In the
shame and sin Of Empire. He will learn,
also, thai they 40 not propose to take
any further chances in this direction.
The time 10 diSpel tine Empire dream has
arrived. The way to diSpel il Is to
awaken the Empire dreamers. This will
be rudcly done on November q, and Mr..
Hanna will then learn that the voice of
the people is still the supreme law in
this great and free country.
