THE HANNA DELUsloN.

Nothing illustrates the popular mis-
understanding of President Mckinley
more than the astounding delusion,
entertained by some Republicans 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 a way that is as unjust
as it is picturesque all the notions to
the effect that Mr.. Mckinley is a yield
ing and unstable person, without con
vctions, or even opinions, that cannot
be changed at the command of a
stronger man. Newspaper cartoons,
which now have more influence than
the newspaper editorials, are largely
responsible for these strange beliefs,
but they have been tosterd by unin-
formed editors and politicians misled
by deceptive appearances and malice.
1t is interesting to see how ignorance
alone misleads writer's who are friend
ly to him about President Mckinley,
as when they speak of him as "stOlld
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 cartoons
at his own expense, and is as fond
of good jokes, and as apt at telling
them, as Abraham Lincoln. Remem
bering the fate of public men who
have done otherwise, Mr.. Mckinley
has kept his wit and humor for private
conversation, and thus, naturally
enough has been accused of having
none. These writer's would probably
be unwilling to believe that Mr.. Nc
Kinley was a constant reader of Mr..
Dooley' during the Spanish war, just
as Mr.. Lincoln found recreation in the
humorists of the civil war. In both
cases this was important, because it
helped TO keep them sane and sweet
tempered under the most trying eXpe-
riences.-lH. b. f. Macfarland in

THE NEW STAR.

The sudden blazing into view OF a
new star in the heavens is an event
which has only occurred fourteen
times before since the astronomical
records have been Kept by men. The
most famous new star hitherto known
was discovered in 1872 by the Danish
astronomer, Tycho Brahe. I hat star
which he named Nova. was the
brightest one in the sky for "a while;
but then gradually faded and finally
disappeared in about sixteen months
after its appearance. The new star,
discovered in the constellation Per
seus was on that day the brightest
temporary star that has appeared
since 1872 but it is already diminish
ing much in brillianCY, and will prob
ably not last long to human vision.
Astronomers have no settled theory
to account for these sudden appear
ances of stars. Some think they may
be due to tremendous ebullitions and
combustion of hydrogen gas in or
around the star, such as if one should
happen to our sun, would reduce this
earth to a Cinder and everything on
its surface to ashes. Others suggest
that the star in its fight may have
run into some nebulous cloud Of aero
lites, the fragments Of some exploded
star. and the contact and friction pro.
duces a brilliant light, which passes
away when the star passes out of the
nebula. Others hav" other theories,
and one is perhaps a. good as another

An Astounding Accusation.

From the United States lnyestorl
The astutest, commercial and finan-
cial minds in the world are today in
tent upon subverting the government
of the United States to their private
ends. Their plan is to secure the
enactment and perpetuation of meas
ures calculated to enrich themselves
at the expense of the public. Such
measures as they aim at must inevi-
tably reduce the mass of the people
to economic servitude, and must have
a strong tendency to crush that indie
pendent spirit which has so far been
the chief characteristics of that por
ton of the Anglo-SaXon race that has
inhabited this continent.

FRANK CRITICISM
NAVAL OFFICER DISCIPLINED
FOR WRITING A BOOK.
FRANCE HAS A REAL MACLAY
in the Discharge From the Service
i. Of the Author and an In
creased Sale.
(By Associated Press.)


Paris, Dec. 13.-Maurice Devaison, the
author of a book called Les Maritimes, I"
has been brought before a board of in
quiry at Brest and has been reformed"
which means discharged from the serv-
Ice. The announcement of this in
creased the sale of the book in Paris
10000 copies.
The work is written with a certain
alertness and native talent for observa-
ton, but betrays the caricaturist's point
of view.
1t has been a long time since any
French government has been SO scan
dalized as has been the marine ministry
as by Les Maritimes.
1t owes it's success to the bitterness
with which the ways and manners of the
navy are attacked and the generous
frankness with which the chiefs of the
navy, notably Admiral Fourier. are
dealt with.
The author is only % years of age and
has been in the navy since 1891. He
wrote the book while he was member
of the torpedo service.
M. Devaison's comrades take the thing
seriously as treason and even outsiders
feel that it called for disciplinary
measures.

The company imported a quantity of

The collector required that quantities

WOMAN IMPOSTER

New York, Dec. 13-The police of Pat

outlook for a we'll dressed, refined-look

She has a paper which says she is an
agen- of the American Tract society. 1t
bears the name of Bishop Potter, Arch
bishop Corrigan, ]. p. Morgan and Mrs.

The woman visited the house of Mrs
George Davidson of Paterson. She told
of her mission, and Mrs. Davidson wrote
out check for S. and gave it to the
woman. Then Mrs. Davidson asked her
visitor to take luncheon, and the invita-
ton was accepted.
A ring of the doorbell called Mrs. Da-
wilson away, and in her absence the
strange woman picked up black bro
cade silk dress and escaped by a rear
door. Then she went across the street to
store where the Davidson's do their
trading and cashed the check.
In consequence the police were noti-
fled.

Last Weeks Elections.

Municipal elections were held in
various western states last week and
some Of them have attracted consider
able attention. In Chicago, Carter H.
Harrison was reelected MAYOR for the
second time with a somewhat reduced
plurality. Thus he retains the leader
ship OF the democratic organization of
Illinois and may be potent factor in
recognizing the national democracy.
Another result of the election which may
mean a great deal to the democratic
party was the choosing of Tom L. John
son, the single tax millionaire, and dis
ciple OF the late Henry George, to be
mayor OF Cleveland The victory of Mr..
Johnson will bring him into contest
with John K. Mclean for the democratic
leadership in Ohio. He will doubtless be
a candidate for United States senator
and it is said to be altogether likely that
he will appear before the democratic |
national convention in 1904 as a candi- |
GATE Tor president. In Toledo Golden
Rule" Jones was reelected by greatly.
reduced majority. The result in Kansas
towns, while having no national politi.
cal significance, was interesting neverthe-
less. The crusades OF Mrs. Nation have
aroused the temperance people of the
state to such degree ofenthusiasm that
great temperance wave swept over the
state and in a large number of cities,
mayors pledged to drive out the liquor
traffic were elected. In Topeka over
1000 women braved a snow storm and
went to the polls. "Down with saloons
and gambling houses" was the battle
cry, which not only won signal victory
in Topeka, but in four-6lths of the towns
OF the state.
