THE DEATH OF SENATOR HANNA.

The passing of Marcus 4. Hanna removes from
liant characters and takes from us one of our most
charitable, lovable men, His was grim fight with
death, and during his late illness the American peo
pie have anxiously waited news from the bedside
hoping always for the best, yet fearful that the dis
tinguished patient could not recover With the an
nouncement of the end there is genuine mourning all
over the country for few men were as much beloved
as Mark" Hanna.
Senator Hanna attained political distinction be-
cause of his mental capacity but his success can
be attributed in no small degree to his ovabe per-
sonality. He was the personifcation of simplicity,
ever ready to assist the deserving, and his friends
among the working men were legion. At Washington
he was the best loved of all public men. This gen.
eral esteem was entertained not alone by members
of his political party, but as well by all of the
democratic members of the two branches of congress-
who found him true friend, with honesty as his
guiding star. New men in congress, downcast be-
cause of the usual scant courtesy shown them dur
ing their first year, will remember Senator Hanna
with especial kindness for his never-ending
effort to make matters pleasant for them, and will
deplore his death as that of staunch friend
For some time, perhaps, there was more or less
feeling against Mr. Hanna, due to the cartoons ap-
pearing in the democratic press. In his capacity as
chairman Of the national committee he was made
the butt of abuse by caroonstS whose drawings are
still fresh in the memories of the people. However
this feeling soon passed, for the lamented senator
often proved not only his worth as statesman but
as well his genuine friendship for the working classes
Of all Americans he was we believe the most gener
ally beloved and his death is loss to all of our peo
pie, irrespective of station in life

THE PORTLAND KNOCKERS AND THE BAR
We desire to call the attention of the people Of the

"The excellent work of Major Langftt u s. engineers

Potatoes a Profitable Crop,

Potatoes are a profitable crop when
sold at twenty-five to thirty cents a
bushel. An acre of ordinary ground
will yield a farmer more money in
potatoes at twenty-five cents a bushel
than any other crop he can put on the
acre-tobacco excepted. 1t is an oft.
repeated saying that potatoes will
bring farmer as high as twenty-five
cents a bushel when fed to stock
This is pipe dream. Ore bushel of
potatoes must put five pounds of flesh
on hog to do this. and one bushel of
potatoes will not increase a hogs
weight even three pounds-BoscobeI
