DELVING FOR POWER
Political Moles of Both Parties Are
Busily at Work.
How . Successful Presidential Boon,
u Created, Expanded and Trans
formed Into Potent
Reality.
Especial Washington letter.


The political moles, are burrow-
ing deep down beneath the
presidential pastures, where
they would not be discovered, nor
suspected, but for the work of inim-
ical political ferrets. They are unlike
the coyotes and gophers who abrade
the surface sward, but delve far, far
below. o
One of the wonder-workers in the
political world is the senior senator
from Ohio, the man who from OBJ
security stepped into national fame
early in 1895 as the manager of the
Mckinley campaign for nomination.
The old-time politicians thought that
he could soon be disposed of; but
they found that for three years Mark
Hanna had been burrewing for dele
gates to the national convention:
Politicians do not rest during the
Lenten season, nor for any other
season. They are not primarily re-
igious, although some of them are
nicely veneered with chrrchly in-go-
ings and out-comings. Primarily,
they are sels-seeking and ambitious,
ready to sacrifice others, even good
friends, for their own advancement.
The most successful of them are al
ways burrowing for future prefer
ments.
Senator Davis, of Minnesota, once
said to the narrator: ~ went to
church this morning, just for few
minutes. l sat up last night until
after midnight thinking over the ap-
plicants for an office. Having con-
Guided that a certain man should
have preferment, I went to bed and
sept as calmly as child. AfteA late
breakfast this morning 1 lighted a
cigar and took a walk. Just as / was
passing church, memory called up
q picture of my first election to the
senate. One of the candidates for
Office had sacrificed a great deal for
me at that time, and l remembered
having said: If ever you need
friend, rely on Cush Davis And yet,
because another had seemed to me
to be of greater future value, I had
made up my mind to turn that
friend coldly down. 1 went into
church, stayed until the conclusion
of service, came home and concluded
to have my former helpful friend
appointed. So. you see. once in awhile
conscience will make even a politician
do the right thing"
Well, while ambitious men are bur-
rowing for the presidency, all of
them are denying their ambition.
Senator Hanna, the greatest burrow-
er of them all. keeps gravely quiet
and affects Indifference to the quest.
But there are surface indications
which point to his ambition in that
direction. An old politician. here to-
day called the attention of the writer
to one very interesting fact. He
said: 'Do you remember that last Oc-
tober the physicians informed Sena-
tor Hanna that he must quit politics
and go to bed, because of danger
from heart failure? Well, what did
Hanna do? He went home for only

other candidate will get in ahead of

q couple of days, and then appeared
on the hustings in Indiana to help
his friend Senator Fairbanks; and
he was SO weak that he was obliged
to quit speaking in the midst of one
of his addresses. What did he make
that effort for in Indiana?'
But the chief borrowers are on She
other political side, and all of them
seem to believe that the democratic
presidential nomination will tie worth
striving for next year. Senator Cor

Mr.. Cleveland, of New Jersey, and

TO strike.
Now you would like to know how
this burrowing is done. 1t is a great
game, and is very well understood in
this center of politics as well as of
statecraft. The stimulus for all poll
ticians is the federal patronage. Every
POLITICAL worker wants an office.
There is a blue book published by
the national government every two
years, and it contains lists of all of
the federal office-holders, even down
to the lowliest and lowest-paid. The
big politicians employ little poll
Aicians to take up certain parts of
this blue book, and go to work on
the former office-holders. For ex-
ample. suppose that Mr. Olney. of
Massachusetts,. wants to get the dele

Japanese Said to Be Ready for
HostiIities at Expiration

London, Oct. 1.-THE correspond

1T Is stated that the Japanese have
decided to declare hostilities tomor-
row on the expiration of their ultima
tum to Russia. The Russian feet
has cleared from Port Arthur. 1t is
reported that the Japanese are land
ing troops at Yasanpho, Korea.
There are strong indications that
Germany favors hostilities on the
ground that it would enable her to eX-
tend her sphere of influence in China.
"A number of field guns were en-
barked at Port Arthur yesterday for
unknown destination. All the avail
able force of workmen is employed on

THE situation is unchanged. All is
quiet at Port Arthur. Hostilities are
still believed to be imminent. 1t Is as
serted that the Russians have fixed
Friday next for their commencement.
There is an exodus of Chinese mel

tence to eighteen years for breaking
and entering, was released from the
custody Of the sheriff at 2:30 o'clock
yesterday afternoon on bonds.
AS soon as Richards was released
on the bonds furnished by his father
for the appeal Of the case involving
the robbery at Hamilton, he was inn
mediately re-arrested on the commit
ment in the hands of the sheriff for
having been guilty of running liquor
joint at Hamilton. He gave bonds In
$500 on TINS charge.
The bonds were filed with the con-
victed mans father, A. c. Richards

county worth $50 an acre. He went
ON the bond for $1,000 and qualified In

Supreme Court Renders Decision Of
Importance.
Des Moines, Oct. 1O.--The right Of
officers to serve search warrants
without all the due formalities Of
law was matter tested In a supreme
court decision handed down by JUS
tice Sherwin yesterday. The case
was from Lyon county and was en-
titled state Of Iowa VS.. Thomas Sheri-
dan. Sheridan was an ice dealer at
Rock Rapids. One morning 1t was dis
covered that the stock of ice belong
ing to competitor had been largely
destroyed by some one pouring salt
on the same. Sheridan was suspect
ed of the destruction, and 1t was
learned that short time previous
to the act of destruction he had pur-
chased barrel of salt of one of the
merchants of the place In order to
secure evidence which might fasten
the crime on Sheridan a search war
rant was procured and in the cellar
OF his house the officer serving 1t
found an empty salt barrel. The fact
OF finding the barrel was introduced
in evidence and 1t was largely on
that testimony that Sheridan was de-
clared guilty Of the crime. He took
an appeal from the lower court and
his attorneys objected to the right of
the state to procure its evidence in
the manner in which 1t did. 1t is
stated in the decision of the supreme
court that the attorney general ad-
mitted the search warrant which pro
duced the empty salt barrel as evil
dence in the case was issued without
authority of law.
