HOW REPUBLICANS RULE.

It is beginning to look as if
Mark Hanna will have another
million dollar campaign fund to
Use in nntting Mckinley in as
president a second time. Hanna's
vote prevented Qaay from being
seated in the senate of the United
States. And it is generally be-
ljeved in political circles in Wash
ipgton that Hanna has made a
trade with Wanamaker and his
followers in Pennsylvania, by
which he is to get big campaign
fund and put Mr.. Wanamaker, or
one of his right~hand men, in
charge of the national campaign
in Pennsylvania.
Ii r1tufn for this it Is said that
Hanna and the present republican
administration will throw all of
its influence in Pennsylvania to
tie election of Wanamaksr to the
United S ates senate.
John Wanamak ,r is many times
a mi lionaire. He was in the cabi-
net ss postmaster general under
the Harrison administration. Since
that time his greatest ambition has
| been to 60 to the Senate. 1t will
cost him a million or two, but
| that will not be a great price to
| pay in order to crafty bis per-
sonal ambition. If elected he will
be seated and will hold his seat,
though he may spend a great for
tune to get it.
Clark, of Montana, however, is
to be turned out of the Senate be-
cause it has been proven that be
spent something like $250,OOO te
be elected. The trouble witt
Clark was that he loaned money
to individuals IN the Legislature
and to those who had political in.
f1uence in Montana. There are
others in the Senate to-day who
have spent more money than Clark
to get into that body, and yet they
hold their seats without ques.
tion-Hanna, for instance. Wan.
amaker will hold his seat if he
gets it.

COTTON MANUFACTURING
Boston Herald.

Boston Herald.
The Improvement III the cot
ton manufacturing business
which has characterize the last
year Or two has made itself felt
in the South in an astonishing
manner.It is estimated that since
the first Of the year 1899, the
number Of new cotton mills that
have been built in the Southern
States represents an increase in
productive power of nearly so
per cent.
No doubt the cotton mills in
the North have had a profitable
experience since the first Of
1868, but it had not led to any,
thing approaching this tremen-
dous percentage Of increase in
productive power. We imagine
that in some classes of manu-.
facture, particularly the coarser
counts, the profits in Southern
mill for the last two years have
been much greater than the pro-
fits in a similar mill located
north of the Mason and Dixon's
line; hence, if our Northern
mills have made good profits the
Southern mills must haye made
astonishingly great ones, and
it is this that has induced so
many capitalists, both North
and South, to vigorously engage
in this business.
The time when this competi.
ton is keenly felt is when busi-
ness is depressed. When prices
are rising and the cotton manu~
facturer can find a ready sale FOR
his product at almost any price
which in reason he sees fit TO
ask, even poorly located and
inefhciently conducted mill may
be able to not only make both
ends meet, but to return a profit
to it's owners.
But when the conditions are
reversed, and it is only by
shrewd business management,
economy in administration and
the possession Of local advan-
| tages that profits are possible,
| then the less favorably situated
mills must drop behind. This
was the case a few years ago,
| and the chances are that we
| shall not avoid repetition OF
this experience.

MILLS MAY SHUT DOWN.
Striks of Bui ding Trades Has
Brought Lumber Market to
S a0dSrill.

Norfolk, Va, April 30.-From
an authorative source it was learn
ed to-day that interesting devel~
opments are expected from a
meeting Of the North Carolina
Pine Lumber Association which
is scheduled to be held here next
Tuesday. This association is com
posed of owners Of about twenty
mills in Virginia and North Car
olina and practically controls the
lumber market. It is understood
that the association will very prob
ably order all its mills to shut
down on account of conditions
brought about by the strikes of
carpenters in the north and west.
These strikes have Affected the
lumber trade to a great extent.
Two months ago the mills could
not supply the demand, To- day
they have millions of feet of lum-
Der for which there is no demand.
The closing of the mills would
throw at lesst 20, 900 men out of
emDIOvment.

maker himself; the Magdalene is the
daughter of an innkeerper,who helps
care for her fathers hostelry, and the

Hanna and Quay Are Out.
New York Journal

NOW 1OEk JOuIAdI
The old proverb that "when
republican statesmen fall out hon
est men get their due'' is likely
to be thoroughly illustrated in the
case of Hanna and Quay.
An honest investigation of the
bribery charges against Hanna
was prevented by the manifest
wish Of the administration. There
upon Hanna mounted the roost of
senatorial purity, where he has
since remained, cackling at inter-
walls and planning subsidy raids.
Hanna's "holier than thou at
titude defeated Quay. He violated
every principle uf honor among
thieves. He not only fed the scene
Of combat, but he tied the hands
of that old party crusader, Chaun-
cey M. Dewew, who would have
voted fer Quay.
Quay is recovering from the
shock and is planning revenge.
He proposes to find out something
about the Hanna bribery charges.
And worse than anything else,
from a Hanna point Of view, Quay
proposes to defeat his ship subsi-
dy steal.
Think of it! Quay defeating a
| steal. No wonder Hanna has taken
| to the woods. When we consider
these things we are almost dls>
| posed to forgive Governor Stones

appointing Quay to the Senate.

The other was General Ryan,

an Iris hman, but he had served
on the Federal side in the civil
war, had assisted in the over

heart responded to the cry of
