MARCUS A. HANNA.

In the death of Marcus A. Hanna,
not alone the Republican party, but
he nation as a whole, loses one of the
srandest men the country has produc-
ed in many generations, and few per
sons but will regret his death in these
years OF his usefulness. Death came
At "A time when his true character was
becoming known to the people. Not
that he has changed In the least. but
his activity in political affairs the
past eight or ten years has brought
hi min closer touch with the people
At FIRST be was the butt Of ridicule and
le was cGricatured by the papers as
a hart-hearted, grasping tool OF the
money power This feeling has en-
lireiy disappeared, and when the an
gel Of death closed his eyelids the
American people were beginning to
recognize in him man who had done
and was doing more for mankind than
thousands who set themselves up as
benefactors
MIR Hanna has been an employer OF
labor for the past thirty or forty
ycdlss anu lue lnOuSdnIS OF 1aDOreTS
who are at present in his employ will
testify to the fact that the crown
Of thorns was never pressed upon
their brow" by him On the contrary.
his treatment OF those who toll was
such that no man in his employ ever
went ON a strike. He believed the
laborer worthy of his fair share OF
the profits. Accumulating wealth,
however he was classed and regarded
as plutocrat whose only ambition
In life was to shine In the financial
world as a leader. The past few
years demonstrated the fact, how
ever. that his ambition was to lead a
JUST and honorable life, doing unto
others as he would like to be done by
No man in public life has stood by the
masses more courageously than Mr..
Hanna, and with his demise the rank
and file lose the aid of one who was
their friend.
Year by year MIR. Hanna has been
ingratlating himself into the hearts
Of the Republicans throughout the
country-from Maine to California and
from Minnesota to Florida-and death
Is the only thing that kept him from
becoming president of the United
states four years hence. In fact
many were in hopes OF being able Ia

The First All.American Cable.

II is fine thing for the United
5tares to have its own cable across the
Pacific ocean, the laying of which was
but recently completed. This one,
however, was not the first to span that
ocean, although 1t is a common mis-
axe that it was. The first all-British
cable was successfully laid almost a
year prior to ours. 1t is also com.
mon mistake in dieting yourself as a
means of curing stomach ills. Nature
intended you 10 eat heartily and the
stomach to digest the food so as to
give you strength and health. II your
stomach is not doing this for you take
dose of Hostetters Stomach Bitters
before each meal 1t will restore the
stomach to its normal condition and
;ure indigestion, dyspepsia, constipa-
tion and liver troubles.

JOHN sHAFFRoTH.

No one ever charged John Shaffroth
amer conniyed with the repeaters
s. Denver to secure reelection, hence
ii is not strange that he should re-
sign his seat when enlightened on the
subject-that he was retaining seat
obtained through the rankest kind OF
fraud. The position taken by Mr..
ShafIroth will only increase admira-
ton for the man and set an example
that should be followed by others who
are drawing salaries through fraud
and corruption.
And this brings us to Mrs. Grenfell,
state superintendent OF public instruc.
ton. Her majority over Mrs. Brandt
was less than that given Mr.. Shaff.
roth. Mrs. Grenfell has been heralded
as thoroughly conscientious. and II
this is the case she will not serve out
the rest of this month, but will grac-
iously resign In favor OF her legally
elected opponent, Mrs. Brandt In
fact, after the Washington revelations
and the position taken by Mr.. Shat
roth. we do not well see how Mrs
Grenfell can retain the position she
has been filling through fraudulent
votes and keep her self-respect. II
she does she cannot retain the respect
of the people. The person filling the
responsible position OF state superin-
tendent of schools should be above re
proach in every walk She should In.
culcate in teachers and the rising gen,
GRAFTON not to become benefciarles OF
fraud and should set the example. II
the Shaffroth case Is any precedent,
Mrs. Grenfell is the beneficiary OF the
rankest election frauds ever perpe-
trated on any people. and It is safe
to say that Mrs. Brandt received at
least 1000 majority over RS. Gren,
fell and has been cheated o II OF four
teen months salary.
From all that we have heard OF Mrs.
Greniell We are led to believe that
she will not continue to fill an office
and draw salary when Investigation
shows her election was clearly fraud.

THE AMERICAN FARMER NOT A
FAILURE.

Most people who are familiar with
the progress maue in scIeauns agri-
culture in this country wnI incline 10
the view that DR.. II. j. WebDers 5 pes
siniisIh regarding the Iiture oI Ameri-
eau ndsh4"Ui. 40 not warranted by the
iac.s.
Dr Webber, who is director of the
laboratory VI plane breeding in the ue-
partment OF agriculture at Washing
ton, declared in an address before the
faculty oI sciences OF the University
OF Chicago chat Americans are mis-
cradle farmers" ana that as a resul,
OF their ignorance they will have u
hustle in oruer tnat the United
States may keep its place among the
nauons."
II DR.. Webber had said that mos,
Americans are not scientific agricui-
turisLs lew would dissent from his
opinion But when We come to farm
ers-men who cultivate the soil as a
business to lnahe the most money ouI
OF tit will have To be conceded THAI
American farmers are the greatest i'll
lhe world.
Confusion of the terms agriculture
and farming is common ana natural,
Our progress in scientific agriculture,
through the work Oi the state univer-
sites, government experiment sta
tions and the department OF agricul.
ture makes a distinction advisable
The farmer is the man who makes
business OF agriculture. Because he
does not reduce to practice all The
theories OF the agriculturists or does
not utilize all their discoveries or
adopt their methOds II does not fol
low that he Is failure as a farmer
Scientific agriculture may be wholly
in books; scientific farming is prac.
ticed upon the land. The ideal farm
er of the future of course will be an
agriculturist as well as a farmer. He
VIII understand the chemistry of the
soil and he will know more about
plant breeding than he does now.
The man who carefully lnspects the
exhibits that are to be made in the
p-lace Of agriculture at the ST. Louis
worlds lair next summer will hardly
be ready TO concede that the Ameri-
can farmer is a miserable failure. He
will find there the most colossal ed
ucational exhibit of the products OF
American agriculture ever brought to
gether. Each product OF the soil viii
have grouped about It all that pertains
to its cultivation. also every by-pro-
duet that is made from # and the pro
cess of manufacture Corn and cot
ton, for instance, will vie with each
other Tor supremacy, while tobacco
and dairy products will each occupy
10000 ieet OF floor space.
During the year 1902 the American
farmers produced 2,523,GiS3l2 bushels
of corn, 9S7,S42,7l2 bushels of wheat.
and G7O,OG3, ,00S bushels OF rye; also
S2l,S23,963 pounds OF tobacco. valued
at S57 ,5G3,5l0. In 1898 they raised TO-
15S,326 bales of cotton and marketed
26,245,0 600 hogs. The annual aggre.
gate value OF the product of dairy
cows in this country now exceeds
$500. 900 900.
II Is clear that the American tiller
of the soil is not so much OF failure
as a farmer after all-Record-Her
