Dental nomination by the Republican party

Mckinley could command the Republican delegates of
the South against any other probable candidate This
opinion may be forced modification after Roose-
velt's return from Charleston
Late Postmaster General Smith writes in the satur-
day Evening Post concerning the Presidential candidates.
in 1904 Commenting the declaration of a southern
ocehoder that he would be for Hanna against
President Roosevelt, Mr. Smith says: In these eager
and feverh days live fast and much in twelve
month that the whole horoscope may change years
But according to the present lights, if Senator Hanna
choose unur his banner is the only who would
be serious competitor Of President Roosevelt in the
Republican National Convention of 1904 AS contestant
for the nomination he would have at least distinct
and formidable element of strength He would carry the
bulk of the Southern delegates This would for
nothing in the election, but it is important factor in
the nomination For years Mr. Hanna has been the
polar star Of the Southern Republican politician He
organized them prior to the convention of 1896 and has
magnetized them since Against adroit and indus
rous antagonists he captured their support for McKin

THE BULL BUTTER BILL BADLY BUSTED.

The bull butter bill is having rocky road of it. The
Senate passed the House bill by close margin but not
till had tackled on several very material amendments
one of which amendments offered by Senator Harris of
Kansas goes to the bottom the entire contention in
that it holds retailers and darymen who deal in process
and in madeup mixed country bdtters down to the
same line Of good faith to which oleomargane
facturers are held To mix up up color misceL
Ianeous assormens Of country butter to look like
cry or first class butter the same be paid
paid by the oeo men for making their product look nice
The bill as amended having gone back the House there
ensued some kicking it finally referred back TO
the Committee on Agriculture where there is danger Of it
being pgeonholed The House champions Of the cream
cry combine don't like the Senate amendments nor do
the representatives of the farmers and daymen But
knowing that the Senate viii not agree to the knocking
out the affective amendments alluded to there is little
prospect Of the bin getting through The creamery
combine the privilege OF coong their product with
out being taxed for it, the farmers butter
demands the same privilege. but the pure food cham
rions in the Senate are the majority their demand
that all Of butter including process oeos
shall stand on their merits or otherwise pay an extra
per cent for the privilege OF fooIng the consumer.

and devotion to its institutions he minnow among

voton to political duty Whatever of politics there may
have been in that Charleston address there was no lack
of truth Few men could have squarely hewed to
the line on the subject the Rebellion without offend
ing some Of the more ultra element Of the Southland
But It is safe to say that the Timan family Will
find little to criticize that timely and valorous speech
in which bravery was praised the Union gorifed and
Lincoln exalted on the very spot where the first gun
was fired by the South the American flag and all this
in such discreet terms meet with only commenda-
ton Whatever of anmadveron may be INDUCED in by
the political puers of Roosevelt statesman however
army and navy officials may estimate his abilities as
fighter there is no denying the fact that he is typical
American whose patriotism limited by no lines OF geog
raphy race or Of color Every citizen Of the United States
is an American and every American his brother.
