OPINIONS AND POINTERS.

MIR. Hanna comedies that New
York should pick the vice presidential
candidate, and has, indeed, gone SO
far in his obliging way as to pick out
several good names for New York to
pick from.-Albany Argus.
If this congress appreciates mon
ey up to the demands of the various
departments of government, it will
be not merely a billion-dollar, but near
ly billion-and-a-ha congress.
This is the work of Imperialism. Ithas
made the most eXtravagant of recent
congresses models of moderation and
economy in the comparison.-Spring-
field Republican.
With war taxes, thousands of
mourning homes and the gravest ap-
prehensions existing among thought
full citizens in regard to the outcome
of the policy of migrating imperial
ism into Americanism, the ship OF
state cannot truthfully be said to be
sailing serenely under the Mckinley
Hanna pilotage. Troy Press.
We notice that some of the re-
publican papers are strong in advis-
ing that Senator Clark, of Montana,
be unseated for securing his election
TO the senate by the use of money.
But we do not recall that these same
papers were very insistent when Mark
Hanna was elected by the same means
from the state of Ohio.-Peoria Her

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

An imperial burglar went
through the protective tariff league
and found nothing worth taking away
with HMM. Y. World.
A democratic contemporary says
that Hannais good thing for the dem
ocrsts, and that the longer he sticks
the better he is. This advice, however,
is not likely to be taken, and Mr.. Hanna
should not relax his hold on his own
scalp.-Cincinnat Enquirer.
If it is right that our flag should
protect polygamy and slavery in the
Philippines then Abraham Lincoln was
wrong when he said: "This country
cannot exist half slave and half free"
If polygamy is sacred and entitled to
the protection of our flag in the Sulu
archipelago then it is farce to arraign
Roberts for his polygamous practice
Los Angeles Herald.
There is far too much vagueness
and cowardice on the part of those
particularly among the republicans
who are opposed to the trusts. What
is wanted is plain, straightforward Ian
guage which everybody can under
stand, and simple propositions for the
suppression of the trusts which can be
easily "comprehended of the vulgar"
IN. O. Times Democrat.
SO fast as the country can expand
rightfully, legally, honestly, democrats
everywhere will be glad to aid in the

must come by bad faith, by crushing
representative governments anywhere
on earth, by saddling system of mil
itarism on the country-that sort of
expansion will not be Endorsed any
where.-Lafayette Qnd) journal.
-Imperialism' battles have been

cago Democrat.
1t is understood that Mark Hanna

The Toea and the Man.

Senator Hanna has caused to be
published complaint against the
newspapers for paying too much at
tention to him. He says: "They for
get that l am member of the United
States senate, position which should
carry dignity with it," Mr.. Hanna is
both right and wrong in respect to
this matter. The position of United
States senator should indisputably
carry dignity with it, and, just as in
disputaEly, it does carry dignity with
it if the person who occupies the po-
sition is himself man of dignity. But
IL he lack those characteristics which
become the occupant of the great Of
Zee of senator, or if he himself be not
dignifed, it cannot clothe him with
dignity. The dignity depends upol'
the nun inside the toga, not upon the
togn or the seat in the senate. II he is
a wise, pure statesman, Tot mere
politician; if lie has patriotism. is zeal
Gus in safeguarding the public veal;
if he puts country before party and
the peoples interest before his own,
nc senator of the United States will
have cause 10 complain that the news
papers do not honor him as senator
or recognize his senatorial dignity
