SAN JUAN, AUGUST 80, 1901
Editorial Comment.

There are evidences fer tie belief that
Senator Marcus A. Hanna will be very
strongly pressed by leading politicians OF
the republican party as candidate fer the
next presidential nomination. At one time
Senator Hanna was much distrusted man
by the masses as he acas believed to be
the exponent Of the money power in poi
itics and the most offensive element of that
power too. His remarkable speeches dur
ing the last campaign, which made him
next to Roosevelt the most interesting and
picturesque figure of the time before the
American public, did much to give him
an unexpected popularity and attract the
admiration and sympathy Of the people.
Up to the first Mckinley campaign Mark
Hanna had never made a public speech
on any subject, he was scarcely known
outside of Ohio, but in the fercely con.
Quoted battle OF that year, beginning at the
st. Louis convention and lasting all through
the election period, he showed marvellous
powers of organization; infinite tact in har-
monizing factions and in unifying the
forces whose legions under his masterful
management gave to the republican can
didate in the end so sweeping and brilliant
victory.
Even after securing general recognition
as having been the chief factor in an un-
precedented triumph Hanna was not gen.
orally credited with the possession Of any
of the gifts and graces of oratory, he had
made no speeches and was known only as the
general who fEgratively speaking, from tent
Or saddle, 90 the,snergeney arose, directed
f6e moss1Tts Of biz forces .ip TIE ted
Even after his election 10 The senate he
remained silent and was often pointed out
to visitors in the CALLERS Of that body az
the "Ohio Sphynx."
In the election Of last year however
Hanna, when he was again called to the ma
nagement Of the republican campaign, went
farther than he had done bef)re and VEN
tured upon the Tostrum. His appearance
was like that of meteor, end the flash
and sparkle of rude and telling wit and
quaint and virle force and style of eGpress
ion at once gave the hitherto silent man a
high place among the foremost of political
orators.
Seldom has argument found more forcib
le and strong presentment, and it may be
really said that no other influence had
greater force in determining the result than
they marked for iearlessness and power in
Biyan's own state where the Ohoan rode
booted and spurred and rough shod upon
the Nebrsskau and uuhorsed him upon his
own ground.
AS to the character of chief magistrate
that Hanna might make ,here acill be many
opinions. In the ligbs of the past five
years of American political history there
can be no doubJ as to the mans intellec-
tual maste-fulLess though bis possession of
the qualities of true statesmansn'p may
Well be doubted
In line with our remarks OF yesterday
we call attention to. The fact that .ie Brit
ish government is preparing to introduce
the iubber tree into India and a large
shipment OF seeds has Eeen made to Madras
where it is interded to devote great atten
ton to the propagation Of rubber.

China Close To Civil War;.
Dowager Empress Is Apple of
Discord.

1t is the opinion of Bishop F. s. Graves,
of China, that the people CT China have
been grossly misused by the foreign soldiers
n their recent occupation of the country.
6 For example, y he SAYS, La the SO cal
led punitive expeditions German force
would start out from a certain city and ap-
proach village. The commander of the
force would send message to the head
men of the village to the effect that il he
did not receive s 1000 within a certain
period be would destroy the place. The
money would be secured in some way by
the miserable villagers and the soldiers would
march away. Then along would come a
French force demanding 5 5000, get.it and
march away, to be followed by Russian with
asimilar demand This has been carried to
such an extent that the villagers IN North
China hate the name of foreign soldiers.
g The late troubles in China, with all
their cost in blood and treasure, could have
been prevented if Chinese customs had been
adhered to. The Chinese will not get into
the clutches OF the law if they can avoid it,
"The Bishop further holds strongly the
view that China is on the eve of civil acar,
and only the overthrow OF the Dopager EN-
press can save the country. He adds:--
g The trouble in China is not over. The
foreign troops destroyed civil government,
and disorder, as consequence, prevails all
through-North China. In Marcnuria things
are almost in state. OF ANARCHY. The Rus
slams are strengthening their hold every
week in that region. They have greater
task on their hands than they bargained for,
bnt they will never let go. In every other
section oft country which was involved
in the late Disturbances the people are rayed
for change in the government"

The Chief Quartermaster, Captain Crabbs
now has one of the handsomest and most
desirable Offices in the city in the hospital
division of the old 9th cavalry quarters.
The interior of the building has been
entirely renovated, fine cement floors hav,
ing been laid and ths walls and ceilings
painted and calcimined.
The place has been made much lighter
by adding glazed windows and the whole
bears bright and cheerful aspect.
The elevation and nearness to the sea also
makes the place airy and cool. The only
objection to the new office lies in its remoS.

DR.. Arrastia, President of the local s. p
O. A. has received word from Cuba that
bis mothers health is in a precarions state
and be will sail for Havana on the steamer

DR.. Arrastia has been several years in
Porte Rico, during which tine he has been
active in promoting the philantropkic mis-.
sion Of this usefnl society.
Conditions have been unfavorable here
for the attainment of much practical result
in this field OF humanitarian work and for
this reason alone President Arrastia has
failed to cecure the passage of any restrictive
Legislation or local ordinances such as would
arm the society's agents with the needed
power TO stop abuses.
1t is to be hoped thai somthing may
done in this way at the next session OF the
Insular Assembly.
DR.. Arrastia will probably be absent in
Cuba month.

edfice will seat but $50 persons, and
the regular congregation taxes it to
its full capacity. Since DR.. Schinclk
became pastor of the church, in Feb
ruary of last year, he has been ac-
lively at work in an effort for the
construction of n new building. The
congregation owns the lot and the
parsonage property adjoining. 1t is
the desire of DR.. Schinck to erect a
one-story structure covering the en-
tire ground space 50X100 feet, which
will provide a seating capacity for
500 persons.
The estimated cost for the new
building is $4,000, and so far DR..
Schinck has pledges for little over
one-third of that amount. 1t was the
plan to have the corner stone laid
next May, when the Chassis of Mary
land--the ecclesiastical government
of the denomination hold its an
nual meeting in Baltimore. Since the
death of President Mckinley DR.
Schinck is receiving many letters
from clergymen and others urging
him to press the matter of new
building, so that the church may ac
commodate those who will want tC
| attend.
DR.. Schinck's eyes moistened as he
discussed this point. Il have an
| swered," he said, that ! can't take
advantage of the death of President
Mckinley to build up my church The
matter will have to take it's regular
course. As soon as the way is opened
we will build.'
DR.. Schinck, the pastor, is
scholarly man, SO years old. He is
native of Richmond, but his college
and theological education were OBJ
tanned in Pennsylvania.

In late years men have made fortunes out
of the taings Of gold mines. The mills in
which the ore formerly was crushed and the
crude processes then in use allowed large
percentage of the precious metal to escape,
and that loss amounted in some cases to a
fortune The stomach is just like a stamp
mill in this respect, that when it is not in
perfect order it allows the escape and waste
of much of the precious nutrment contained
in the food That loss when continuous
means the loss of mans greatest fortune
health Science offers a remedy for this
condition in DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. 1t corrects the "weakness" of
the stomach, prevents waste and loss of
nourshment, and puts the stomach and or
gans of digestion and nutrition into a cond.
ton of health which enables them TO save
and assimilate all the nutriment contained
in the food which is eaten. In all cases of
constipation the use of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets will speedily and permanently cure
the disease.

Presidential Church for
Some Years to Come.

The little chapel on the rear of a
lot at the corner of Fifteenth and o
streets, N W., has been selected by
President Roosevelt as his church in
Washington. Rev. John NJ. Schinck,
ID. D., will be his pastor. The presi-
dent is a member of the Dutch Re-
formed church. The congregation
which worships in the little chapel is
of the German Reformed denomina-
ton, but there is no difference in the
tenets of faith of the two organiza-
tions, and there is no Dutch Re-
formed church in the city.
President Roosevelt attended SER
vice at Grace Reformed chapel. as the
church is known, on the only Sunday
he has spent in Washington since
his Inauguration. When President
Roosevelt lived here as civil-service

An Unexpected Honor.

The story is told of three Protestant
ladies who walked into a Catholic
church in Ireland during high mass. 1t
was raining, and they had gone in for
shelter. The priest, one of natures
gentlemen, recognized the ladies', and
STOPPING down, said to an attendant:
"Three chairs for the Protestant la
dies" 1t was kindly thought, but the
priest must have wished he had never
thought it when the man stood up in the
church and shoutedl Three cheers
for the Protestant --latest" 1t was over
In a minute-the cheers were cheered
and could not be called back; but it
was one of the most uncomfortable mo-
ments in the good priests life.
