VIII the Stake Hold?

A Columbus despatch to the Cincin-
ndti Enquirer paints scene Of martyrdom
that would not shame an Old Master.
We see the Hon. MARCUS ALoNzo HANNA
crowned with the laurels Of that mighty
November majority. Victorious as he
is, the "bugs on the White House door
mat" to use O coarse phrase worthy
OF that low and practical view Of politics
that obtains among the Buckeyes, are
biting him sharply. On the other hand,
the mighty majority is crowding in on
him, seeking to force him away from
the stake to which he has bound himself,
a monument of self-denial:
There Is every indication that at the present
time Senator HANNA is holding himself In restraint
but only by using the stolcsm of . martyr at the
stake. His patience Is able. his endurance
marvellous. Yet the air round him Is charged
with electricity. The pie counter brigade or
sycophants for once, and the bugs Of the White
House door mat. as the members OF RoosEvxiTs I'M
mediate circle at Washington arc known, have been
assiduousiy at work nlbblng and Enawing at his
ankles. Never a day goes by bu; he must suppress
anger that would cause most men to break loose
and hurl defiance at the headsman."
The majority is striving to end his
heroic suffering:
within the past twenty -four hours careful
resume has been made of the Republican situation
In each of the twenty -oue districts of Ohio and In
all save two of them there does not appear TO be
the ghost Of chance to elect Roosevelt delegates
In the event that contest Is TO be made. The
exceptions are the Cincinnati districts. which will
be as GEORGE B. Cox's mind happens to make
itself up"
The situation must be distressing, not
so,~uch, perhaps, to the martyr himself
as 10 one deeply interested soul, the
object of this drama of abnegation.
Between the bugs and the majority,
will the stake hold?

Under the head Of Truths About the
Strange Wood Case" our esteemed con-
temporary the Pittsburo Post records as
fact at least one thing that isn't 30:
when tho opera bounc war with Spain came
on the stage WOOD was stationed at Washington and
had become the attending physician on the wife
Of President McKNLEY. Everybody, including
WOOD and his old Harvard chum the then Assist
ant Secretary Of the Navy, was painting for war.
And So when WOOD and his old college chum asked
the always placid and agreeable President MoKIN-
LEY 10 give them commissions, the one as Colonel
and the other as Lieutenant Colonel OF volunteer
cavalry. President MCKINLEY complied readily
with their request. Hence the Rough Riders
Hence the elevation Of ROOSEVELT to the Prea-
dency and WOOD TO the grade OF Major General
over the heads Of ~ Of bis ofhcial superiors."
DR.. .WooD and Mr.. ROOSEVELT are not
old college chums. DR.. WooD. ia not a
graduate Of Harvard in the same sense
as the President is. His name appears in
tho quinquennial catalogue only as one who
attended the medical school Of the uni
versity. He was never Mr.. RoosEvELT's
chum in college.

Almost Alone.

In his strong desire to promote Dr.
WooD to the ajor-Generalcy, the Presi-
dent now stands almost alone. The SEN
timent Of the country is clearly against
it, The army and the friends OF the
army are strongly, some Of them bitterly,
opposed to any further promotion OF
DR.. WooD; and many officers are deeply
offended by the Presidents efforts to
advance his favorite.
This is not due to professional jealousy,
nor to the fact that DR.. WooD is not
West Pointer. The men of the army
enter no protest against promotion that
Is really merted. They approve the
principle of such promotion, because the
day and time may come when they will
show themselves equally deserving. OPP
position comes from many who are not
West Pointers themselves, and it comes
from many who are in no way personally
affected by Dr. WOODS advancement.
They regard him as unfit for the post
which he now holds, and still more unfit
for higher command. The principle
involved in such promotion as this is
openly declared, in army circles, to be
demoralizing to the service. The army
and it's friends are against the pending
appointment.
The numerous extracts we have pub
lished show the great extent to which
the press of the country is opposed to
DR.. WooD's promotion; and the excep-
tions are largely influenced by respect
for the Presidents personal wish, or by
mere subserviency. The recognition of
the improperly of the promotion is ir-
respective of party lines. The grounds
of press opposition are various, but the
opposition is widespread.
In social circles in clubs, in business
offices, and on the street, wherever this
now widely discussed question appears,
it is most unusual to encounter an advo-
cate for the further advancement Of the
Captain-Doctor Of 1893. Men who be-
lieve that his achievements in Cuba were
all that he has claimed them to be, and
men who are disposed to stand by the
President in all his acts, unite in disap-
proval or condemnation of a step which
will place such great responsibility in the
hands of one who has given no proper
evidence of ability to support It. Some
denounce the appointment for it's in
Justice and unfairness to men whose
lives have been spent in the study and
exercise Of their profession.
In his persistent desire to force the
further promotion OF DR.. WooD by direct
action or by indirect influence. the Presi-
dent cannot be said to have the support
Of the army, the press or the public.

The 1A2-Hour Bicycle Race.

The large attendance at the so-called
six day bicycle race in Madison Square
Garden last week, and the enthusiasm
of the spectators when WALTHouR fin
ished first after a good, although BY no
means sensational. contest, show the pop
ular interest In such athletic struggles.
The law prohibits any contestant from
riding more than twelve hours out Of
each twenty-four, and as the whole
race consumed 142 hours, from the start
of the race on Monday morning until
its close, it may be assumed that
each man Of the twenty who finished
was on the track seventy-one hours,
or II hours and so minutes in each day.
Neither the length of time spent on the
track nor the pace kept up by the
riders was excessively exhausting. The
monotony Of the ride about the yellow,
bowl-like track, and the foul air Of the
building probably sapped the ridep'
strength more than the actual exertion
of riding.
The seven leading teams each rode
2,sls miles and three laps in 142 hours,
or practically 1850 miles to man. This
would make an average Of 1913 miles,
approximately, an hour for each
man, while the record Of MILLER and
WALLER, made in 1899, was at the rate
Of 1927 miles an hour.
A race over q similar course. but in q
pavilion allowing free ventilation, while
protecting the riders from wind and
weather, would be an interesting event
1t is altogether probable that with clean,
fresh air to breathe the riders would
reach higher average speed per man
per hour, and would be less exhausted
during the race.
