DELUSION ABOUT HANNA.
mistaken Impression Regarding His
influence Upon the President
and His Policy.

Nothing illustrates the popular
misunderstanding of President Nc
kinley more than the astounding de-,
lusion, entertained by some repub-
licans as well as many democrats
who do not know him, that he is,
and has been ever since 1895, more or
less under the influence of Senator
Hanna. This sums up, in way that
Is as unjust as it is picturesque, all
the notions to the effect that Mr.. Me
Kinley is yielding and unstable per-
son, without convictions, or even
opinions, that cannot be changed at
the command of a stronger man.
Newspaper cartoons, which now have
more influence than newspaper ed
itorials, are largely responsible for
these strange beliefs, but they have
been fostered by uninformed editors
and politicians misled by deceptive
appearances and malice. 1t is inter
csting to see how ignorance alone
misleads writer's who are friendly TO
him about President Mckinley, as
W hen they speak of him as "stoiid
and solemn" because they have only
seen his manner in public, when the
fact is that Mr.. Mckinley is a man
of humor, who enjoys even the car
toons at his own expense, and is as
fond of good jokes, and as apt at
telling them, as Abraham Lincoln
Remembering the fate of public men
VINO have done otherwise, Mr.. McKin-
ley has kept his wit and humor for
private conversation, and thus, nat
urally enough, has been accused of
having none. These writers would
probably be unwilling to believe thai
Mr.. Mckinley was constant reader
of "Mr Dooley" during the Spanish
war, just as Mr.. Lincoln found rec
reation in the humoriSts of the civi!
war. In both cases this was impor-
tant, because it helped to keep them
sane and sweet-tempered under the
most trying eXperiences.-Henry i.

DUTY OF SECRETARY GAGE.
SenseIess Attacks of American Free
Traders Upon That Efficient
OniciaI.

Opponents of the administration and
of the republican protective tariff pol
icy have eagerly seized upon Russia's 5
unreasonable eimpositiono of eXorbitant
duties upon steel and iron imports
from the United States as an oppor-
tunity for attack upon Secretary Gage
and upon the American protective tar
iff system. According to their ancient
custom, the supporters of the free
trade THEORY take SIDES with foreign
ers against their own country. 1t is
asserted by them that Secretary Gage
made gfievous mistake when he inn
posed onlRussian sugar additional
duty equal in amount to the bounty
which he believes the Russian govern
ment indirectly pays to its producers.
The secretary is accused of having
Disseminated against Russia. and he
is blamed the more because the i'm
ports of Russian sugar are compara-
lively small.
In his statement, published recent
ly, Secretary Gage makes it plain that
when he had become convinced that
sugar producers il became his duty to
take the action which he took. The
amount of Russian sugar imports had
nothing to do with the case. The queS-
tion was whether Russia should be
treatedas other sugar producing coun-
tries that pay bounties to the sugar in
dustry are treated. The additional

one. Neglect to impose it would have
been discrimination in Russia's favor
and against France, Germany, Bel
gium. the Netherlands and other
sugar-producing, bounty-pay ying coun-
tries.
Remission of the bounty is possible
only upon proof that Secretary
Cages conviction that Russia pays ii
bounty is erroneous. If the fact
which he asserts remains unshaken
the added duty must stand.
Unless Russia can produce the
proof mentioned, it is the Russian
minister of finance who made the mis-
take when he imposed a prohibitive
DUTY upon American manufactures of
steel and iron. To what extent Ger
man intrigue influenced his action is
an open question. Germany natural
ly hopes TO profit through the eX-
clusion from Russia of American steel
and iron.
Significant is the news from St.
Petersburg that the Russian press
which is subject to government cen
sorShip-So discusses the act of the
minister of finance that it can be
readily read between the lines that
the prevailing opinion is the retalia-
tion is out of all proportion to the
slight injury to Russian interests
from the added duty on sugar. 1T is
even broadly limited that the minister
acted in anger and haste, and that a
modification of his decree is quite
possible.
1t is to be hoped that when a lucid
statement of the syhole case is pre-
sented to the Russian government
through the regular diplomatic chan
mel. such concessions as the equity
of the matter demands will he made.

retary Gage and the protective sys-

body needs to be brought into adjust

man who enjoys life, who likes to meet
his fellow-beings and TO participate in
the affairs of his district or his coun-
try, finds good in everything except
positive sin. The whole tone of the
successful life should be confidence,
hope, effort, striving, and constant op-
timiSm. The man who believes he is
going to succeed and keeps that con-
viction clearly before him almost al
