BE UsED-CANToN MON.
UMENT HAS RIGHT

Washington, Nov. "a consider
able portion of the time Of the cab
met TODAY was devoted to talking over
plans Of the National William McKin-
ley Memorial association. Before
the cabinet met formally, Senator
Hanna discussed the subject with the
President and cabinet. He explained
the necessity for absolute harmony be-
tween the sssoci' ton, OF which he is
trustee, and the Mckinley Memorial
Arch association of this city, but ar
gued that in seeking popular subscrip-
tions the former organization, which
plans the erection Of q suitable mon
ument at Canton, should have the
right of way. Senator Hanna thought
that about $3.50, 900 should be used in
the erection of q suitable monument.

FROZEN TRUTH.

A man who bolted from Organism in
1896, but who swallowed it in 1900, will
never be able to justify his first action
by his second or his second by his first.
He forfeited the confidence of the Silver
men in 1896 and lost that Of the Gold
men in 1900. He now retains the con-
fidence of neither-and has even lost
confidence in himself.
On the contrary, those who rejected
Organism in both years have the respect
of those who accepted it in both years,
and those who accepted it in both years
can secure the respect of those who re-
jected it in both years. The uncon-
ditional Gold men were in the right.
The unconditional Silver men were in
error. The men who were in the right
both times have nothing to explain. The
men who We're in error both times have
nothing to retain. The former just

Fro1-. Ilt-BitS.
On a certain hot summer day celebrated
naturalist entertained a company of dstin-
guished savants at dinner, at the conclusion
of which they all went out in the garden.
In the center of the grounds there stood
on a pedestal large glass globe. One Of the
guests happened to touch this globe and
found to his amazement that it was warmer
on the shady side than on the side turned
to the sun. He communicated this uiscov-
cry to. the other guests, who at once pro-
ceeded to verify the statement.
What could be the cause?
An animated discussion ensued in the
course of which every ina gnable law of
physics was made to account for the strange
paradox. At length scientists agreed
that it must be so owing to the laws Of re-
Election, repulson or eXhalation, or some
other law of physics with a long name.
The host was, however, not quite con-
