the booming of Hanna for the
presidential nomination in 1904,
that the Ohio senator has Develop
ed strong personal resemblance
to the late President Mckinley,
and that his style in debate is
astonishing bylike thatof Mckinley
when member Of the lower house.
This is difficult to believe unless
Hama has been taking lessons
from one of those vaudeville per-
formers whose stunt" is that of
giving limitations Of famous per-
sonages. Of course, there are
tricks of makeup and of voice
known to these folks which could
account for this alleged transfor-
nation of Hanna into . counter
felt presentment of the late presi-
dent, but has the Ohio senator
thus sunk to the vaudeville level
as statesman? The thought is
not pleasant. Let as believe that
the mysterious organization il
Washington which is booming Mr..
Hanna for the presidency, against
his wishes it is said, and certainly
under his very nose, is alone re-
sponsible for the story of Hanna's
sudden and startling resemblance
to the late Presidsnt Mckinley.
Why won't these people leave
Hanna alone? To be left alone is
all he wants-unless, after all, he
wants that presidential nomination.
Our reciprocal relations-or
rather the want of them-with
foreign countries is telling on oul
trade, as shown by the statement
Of exports and imports for the ifs

ports decreased from e102, 100000

Too Much OF a Surplus.

From the Chicago Record-llerald.
The statement that the receipts

ty million dollars is hardly Il suih-
cient cause for boundless jubila-
ton. Though surplus is decid-
edly preferable to deficit, the
United States government cannot
be regarded as business concern,
whose object is to pile up profits
every year. The ninety millions id

eighty millions more in taxes than
they should, and since Congress
knew that there was very large
surplus last year, which wus likely
to be exceeded this year, it has
neglected an imperative duty in
failiug TO revise the revenue laws
more thoroughly.
All that has been done so far re-
lutes to the internal revenve. Alb
clifton of part of the so-called war
taxes has caused falling Off, and
this will continue with the aboli-
ton of another part, which will be
felt this month, but ninety millions
is One-third of the entire internal
revenue collections of the year.
Unless, therefore, there is radi-
cal change in business conditions
we cannot expect a sufficient re-
duction from this cause alone,
There must be some alteration of
the tariff schedules, and the most
certainly effective alteration will
be by additions to the free list.
| An excellent suggestion is that
| tariff -buttressed trusts should be
made to stand the loss, because
this would serve the double pur,
pose of decreasing the revenues
and of releasing the people from
the grip af monopoly, Certainly

and vicious policy and one prolific

OF Houston, and one of tho most progressive
citizens:

The Post is Of the opinion that the senti-

to be considered in the work Of building

erection of any building which Is not strictly
modern in construction adaptabillty and ap-

assume that the demand is for a building in

live and Of such character as to remain an
ornament for many years to come.

how many similar outrages have been com
mitted without the secretary Of war and
other officials in Washington knowing any
thing about them. It seems quite reasonable
to suppose that since one such case has oc.
Cured others may have occurred And the
fact that many of the perpetrators Of such
outrages can not be punished, because they
are no longer In the army, makes the matter
all the worse.
On the whole there seems TO be justifica-
ton for much incredulity when the secretary
of war alleges that "unexampled humanity"
has prevailed in the Philippines and the
president claims that crueltics have been
committed only 'here and there"

For every negro who viii he inspired by

a thousand will be inhamed by passionate
hopes without thought of merit.
This is the evil.

ness or professional life. Nowhere in the
South are his liberties Of life. property and
the pursuit of happiness curtailed in any
degree. on the contrary, he receives the
heartlest encouragement Of the white race in
all legitimate undertakings
The point Of contention is that the presi.
dents attitude in this instance and his med
dIesome conduct in respect to other phases
OF the problem have upset the peaceful state
of mind toward which the negro has lately
been drifting under the leadership of few
wise men of the race and the south is con
fronted again with the old difficulty which
has been It's besetment for a third OF a
century.
Unless negro leaders are wiser than the
president, 1t may be calculated that these
performances have undone all the good work
which has lately been the cause of congratu.
lation between the thoughtful men Of both
races.
