Mr.. Hanna made one Of his characteris-
tic speeches few days ago at Youngs-
town. He said:
"You may talk about expansion antitrust.
government by injunction. The Constitution fol
lowing the flag, and all the rest of il, but fell
low-citizens, ] want to tell you that this whole
issue boiled down is the dinner pail"
There is one very satisfactory thing
about Senator Hanna. He is so thorough
ly typical that one always knows Just
where to find him. He never says or does
a thing out of character. and il is char
acteristic- Of this type of man that he
does not credit anybody else with having
more tastes, aspirations. or feelings than
he himself possesses. He judges every
one else by himself. And that is just
where he has made several mistakes.
The average American citizen may talk
now and then as if he cared only for the
bread and butter problem, but that is a
little piece of bluff. He does not always
care to make a parade of his finer feel
ings. The very man~~ho is working over
time that his daughter may take painting
lessons or his son study profession will
iOkingly diselaim any affection for lit
erature or the fine arts. and aver that
he has an eye only TO the question Of
making money He does not care to say
too much about his country. or his patri-
otism. or his affection for the old flag.
and as a rule it is not the most sub
stantial men who are found shouting in
the Fourth Of July crowds. But If any
body thinks that this same sober work
ingman, who has learned perhaps two
or three trades and fought his way UP to
a position of comparative Independence
does not love his country, big mistake
will be made Mr. Hanna has more than
once made Just that blundcr.
He made 1t most slgnally when III
ayerred his disbelief in any American
emotion over the destruction OF the
Maine. He seemed to think that because
the people of this country did not get Up
and howl for vengeance. and swear large
oaths over the treachery Of Spain. they
were not doing any thinking; but they
were. and when the time came they made
il known.

Both owed their appointment to the posi-
ton to the influence of the trusts. Both
have been notorious for their relations to
and leanings toward the trusts. Both will
pass into history as Attorneys General
of the trusts rather than Of the United

He is not a man who solemnly declares
certain line of action to be plain duty to-
day and orders Magoon to write an opinion
showing that the opposite will be plain
duty tomorrow. Mr.. Bryan is man of
honesty, integrity. and backbone. Ameri-
can voters, we believe. are anxious to see
a man of that kind in the White House.
If we are right in that belief, obviously
it will be necessary for them to elect

in his cage in the hungry hope OF being
fed. and Mr.. Hanna is not the keeper of
any such menagerie What is more, he
never will be. and he may thank his lucky
star for that. because it would be sorry
day for him II he were in any such p2si-
ton. When nation is reduced to tAat
condition it is liable to break loose some
day, thirsting for the blood of the keeper.
The average American has an interest
in expansion, because that affects the
honor of the country, and he has inheri-
ted from his father and his grandfather
a regard for the reputation of his coun-
try and theirs. He is inquisitive about
the trusts, because they affect his bread
and butter and also his lesser comforts
in life. He has a personal concern in
government by injunction, because he
still has some self-respect ieft-a little
fact which some of his bosses have over
looked. He is particular about the Con-
stitution following the flag, because he
does not like the idea of having foreign
nations haunting the American people
with hypocrisy. If the American is any
thing. he is honest, and open and frank.
He hates to have anybody insinuate that
he pretends to believe in liberty, frater
nifty, and equality. for the sake of APP
pearances, and violates the principles of
all of them for the sake of money. He
hates remarks of that sort SO badly that
he would be apt to resent them with his
fists. All these things are of Importance
to him, as well as the full dinner pail,
and what is more, he has time to think
about every one of them.

The head of the firm is Daniel B. Hatch.
who was admitted to the exchange on May
3. 1859. and VINO was the board member OF
the firm. The other member is Charles B.
Fcote, and the two have been in partner
ship since January l. 1870.
The assignment was made to E Ellery
Anderson. Mr.. Hatch then made the fol-
lowing statement:
The failure was wholly due to the
speculations of our Mr.. Foote, who has been
trading in the market for his own account
for four years, but in the name of one of
our customers and without my knowledge
He was specially active in Sugar certifi-
Gates, which seemed to be his fayorite in
the market
These speculations were first dtscoy-
cred about September /, when Mr.. Foote
began to show signs of insanity. / have
been to see him at his home in Oceanic
near Seabright. n. J., and at first he
talked nationally enough, but later he
showed evidences of men,al disturbance
THE losses on these speculations
amount to about $2G0 coo. Mr.. Foote has
been attacked by paralysis He was very
low last night, and l do not expect him
to live through the day
Mr.. Hatch's sen later in answer to
questions, said that the firms liabilities
amounted to about S200O, eco. at least
would not exceed that figure. and he could
say nothing in regard to the assets
About 5000 shares of stock were sold
out under the rule for the account of the
firm in the afternoon. Several hundred
shares were sold in each of the following
stocks. among others: St. Paul. North
ern Pacific, Southern Railway pref TT d,
Tennessee Coal, Federal Steel, New York
Central, Southern Pacific, Third Avenue.
Rock Island, and Atchison.
The assignee, Mr.. Anderson, said this
afternoon that he believed he could get
ready a statement of the firms condition
within a few days. and that its liabilities
would hardly exceed 81 500, 900, generally
secured. The firm has been for two or
three years a lender of stocks on the Elk
change, paying from to per cent above
the current money rate for the cash thus
secured.
The firm did business with the Contin-
entail National Bank. MIR. Hatch had a
conference with all the officers of the bank
this afternoon. After it was over, an Of
iicer of the bank stated that the firm had
kept an account there for twenty years
They still had balance to their credit
He said that the failure was a complete
surprise, as they were not aware that the
firm was in difficulties: he added that he
knew nothing about the firm relations
with other banks.

business, but was carried down IN the

in the immense tract of land placed at the
disposal of the school for term of TWEEN
ty-one years by James W. Pinchot, of New
York the patron Of the school. whose ben
efaction of $4,000 made it possible for
the school to be placed on such a sub
stantial working basis this fall. The land
given by Mr.. Pinchot is situated at Grey
Towers, Pike County. Milford Pa. large
collection of books relating to forestry has
been placed at the Milford village library.

fined to the Pennsylvania land given by
Mr.. Pinchot. William Rockefeller and the
International PAPER Company have placed
at the disposal Of the directors of the
school large tracts of land in the Adiron-
dacas for practical forest instruction and
have agreed TO provide camps for the ac-
commodation of the students of the for
estry department while engaged in field
work in that region.
Aside from this, some time will probably
be spent in the White Mountains during
the spring term in practical forestry work

STEAMBOAT wEDGED IN A DRAW
Trnfiic on Roads Leaving Chicago
Delayed for Hours.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1s.-All trains leaving
the Grand Central depot yesterday after
noon. last night, and this morning were
delayed from thirty minutes to several
hours by the wedging of the steamboat S.
S. Curry into the draw of the railroad
bridge. 1t was shortly before o'clock yes
terday afternoon when the accident hap
pened. Efforts to release the boat proved
futile, and the engineers were not at all
sure that it could be moved today.
Three large locomotives of the Balti-
more and Ohio road. assisted by several
tugs, worked for hours, but only succeeded
in fastening the steamboat more tightly
in the draw The bridge could not be
closed, and four locomotives and forty
coaches belonging to the Baltimore and
Ohio Chicago Great Western and Chicago
Terminal Transfer Company were left
standing idle in the depot
When it was discovered that the boat
could not be released, locomotives and
coaches from the yards at Western Avenue
were sent for, and outgoing trains were
made up on the west side of the river
near Twelfth Street Passengers were
transferred in omnibuses from the depot
to the trains
