had some lingering belief In religion They
would have resented the statement that
they were unbelieyers or skeptics. Yet
they had the offensive bad taste to exploit
their personal charms-they had them
selves Photographed and the photographs
published in newspaper-using the Moth
er of Christ as a model. There is some
thing in this sort of thing which is indie
seribably ugly to the eye of a sensitive per-
son. If a woman is vain enough 10 wish
for just that kind Of notoriety, il seems
as If she might refrain from making use
of that particular type Of pictures for the
purpose The Sistine Madonna is as nearly
inspired as any work of art can be. and a
girl vain enough 10 assume the reDresen-
taticn of that marvellous figure. Cor the
sake of having herself photographed thus.

rather not think of as a type of American

Hanna. POLICY of Economics.

In the clear, concise, and elegant Addi-
sonian English Of VIII oh he alone is mas
ter, the Hon. Marcus Alonzo Hanna has
opened the campaign for Mckinley and
the trusts in a speech at Columbus. Ohio
the occasion being the meeting of the Re
publican Convention of that State. Mr..
Hanna was good enough to say: Our pO-
sitiOn is one of absolute fear;essness. The
promises made by the st. Louis Conven-
ton and by the National Administration
is what we have accomplished as affecting
the material interests Of the country"
None Of the Websters; not Daniel. nor
Noah. nor the one who killed Dr. Parkman,
could have said it better. if as well. The
promises made by the St Louis Convention
is what We have accomplished is II, or
are they. whichever way one likes? AS We
have often reminded the public. the st.
Louis platform pledged the Republican par
~ and candidate to international bimetal-
lism and to the maintenance and extension
OF the merit system in the Civil Service.
Both of these pledges have been violated
and of course were never intended to be
kept. The less Mr.. Hanna has to say about
the promises of St Louis or OF Mr.. McKin-
ley the fewer awkward questions his SPELL
binders will have to answer during the
campaign.
We have proven to the country and to
the world that our policy Of economics is
irresistible and must succeed" So de-
clares the Cleveland manufacturer of
Presidents with more force than clearness.
What is our policy Of economics2" Is il
to violate the Constitution Of the United
States and Cypress American Territories
for the sake Of securing a big campaign
contribution from the trusts? Does 1t con-
sist in throttling the American Nicaragua
Canal proposition in order to fill the po-
litiesl barrel from among the anti-eanal
plutocrats2 Is il connected with the shin
subsidy raid on the Treasury, designed "a
divide ninety million dollars Of loot among
less than dozen already over-rich persons.
Mr. Hanna should be as explicit as he can
venture to be with safety. so that the pub
lie may get some idea of where he and his
creation stand. He is never so eloquent
as when he keeps silence and allows his
actions to do the talking When he trie:
to speak for himself the result is quite
the reverse of edifyin ). Indeed, one would
almost fancy that Hanna had been edu-
Gated in Washington high school, from
the way his speeches read.
