1ARCUS 4. HANNA.

With the death of Senator N. A.
Hanna which occurred on the 18th
inst. there was removed from the
earthly scenes of his labor the most
picturesque, and at the same time
probably the most noted character in
a diplomatic sense in the United
States.
As a great statesman and shrewd
political general he had few il any
equals and certainly no superiors.
Next after President Roosevelt be
was the most talked of man in this
country, and even in the councils Of
foreign lands he was regarded as one
Of the foremost Americans.
A possible presidential candidate
he was constantly in the eye of the
public, and of late his good qualities
Of mind and heart had been made q
study by the country's millions.
For years the opposition political
writer's and cartoonists had been very
unkind to him and did the truly great
man injustice, but of late bis grand
and majestic character shone out
through it all and now his memory
lives in the hearts Of q nations mourn
ing millions.

POLITICAL DEPARTMENT
SOMETHING REGARDING COUNTY AND STATE

The republican banquet given at
Denver on the 18th was not a VOL
colt affair; it was a Lincoln Day BAN

the regular republican party organiza-
tion, and one to which no republican

Governor Peabody on the 23rd inst. is
in sense to be a non-political one
and is intended as a testimonial to
the chief executive Of the state for
his work in clearing up the industrial
situation. And 80. speaking in strict
political sense, the one was not q
Wolcott banquet, nor is the other to
be Peabody banquet. There should
be NO room for factionsl clashes here.

But in spite Of crookedness and the
attendant excitement of a political
campaign which gives business affairs
a setback, we must have politics,
We must have them because it is
through the political channel that the
general official and business affairs of
notion, state, county and municipal
affairs are reached
All great measures for national
veal or woe must come through one
or the other of the two leading polh-
ical parties.
In fact, the very life of the nation
depends upon political action which
finds its small beginning in the pre-
cinct primary and ends in the halls Of
national convention where is chosen
the future president Of the country.
This being true the person who
turns from politics in disgust is in
duty bound as a sovereign citizen, as
an integral part Of the life Of this
great nation, to swallow his disap-
pointment when disgust and distrust
come to him, and acting out his part
as a citizen say, "I'll try again."

chistic who would turn bedlam loose
and crime and destruction would run

1t is, therefore, the duty Of every
good citizen to take an active part in
politics and to try to make the system
purer and better.
1t will never do to weaken and be-
come so disguised that we turn our
backs on politics and let others fight

shortened rather than heightened. On
May l., when the main Japanese army
was on the Yalu, it was necessary to
transport it's supplies 800 miles on the
backs of coolies over the wretched roads
thru barren country. Now, to victual
tho Japanese about Mukden, besides the
local resources of a rich agricultural
region, it is necessary to transport
only from Niu-chuang, distance Of less
than 100 miles, with navigable river
andsa railroad facilitating the work.
Having complete command Of the sea.
and Niu-chuang being as one of their
own ports, the japanese line Of com
munication has been shortened. On
the other hand, the Russians, able in the
early months Of the war to get supplies
thru Niu-chuang from China, now must
rely solely on 5000 miles of single track
railroad.

have been overlooked by the curbstone

Just a Sample.

The Journal will yield to no
one in due appreciation of the services
of Mr.. Hubert as city treasurer, but
we fail 70 see that his claims are adj
vanced in any way by false and ma
licious and vindictive charges against
Mr.. Johnson Here is a sample of the
argument used:
We return to this tiresome subject only
to point out the man who has prostl-
tuted a state Office of business trust to
base political uses under orders of the
governor is now a candidate for the
chief office of business trust in the city
of Minneapolis. The man who
was willing to do Governor Van SAINTS
dirty work in one office Of trust ought
not. we think, to ask the people to put
him in another. .-i. ...s
johnson IS offense is that he made
certain corporations pay up back taxes
and under direction Of the legislature,
and in pursuance of his official duties,
investigated the office Of the state audi
tor and told what he found there.
This is what the Tribune calls dirty
| work. 1t has no criticism to offer on
the record made by the former auditor;
the only thing to which it takes excep-
tion is the discovery to the public Of
that auditors official acts.
This view taken by our contempt
rary and its reference to the work Of
the examiner is sample of the curious
treatment referred to yesterday as
given in Minnesota to man who has
rendered that kind of service to the
state which elsewhere commands appre'
citation and decent treatment.
We do not, Of course, hold Mr.. HUI
bert responsible in any respect for this
contemplate and libelous assault upon
his opponent. Mr.. Hubert is a high
minded man and appreciates the expo
sure of official dereliction as much as
anybody; but we can readily under
stand how such championship of his
cause is not calculated to do his can
didacy any good, and we would advise
him to have it stopped, if possible, IL
his own behalf and in the interest Of
decent politics. '-.'

The Injustice Of Free Passes.

The practice of giving free passes is
unpopular with the public, and it has
few defenders. There is one sort of
pass, however, that is often mentioned
as an instance that is iustifable. It
is the common practice among railroad
companies to favor large shippers Of
freight with transportation. The claim
is made that business men who pay the
road large sums of money are entitled
to some special favors, and as for the
railroad company, it is good policy to
keep the good will of customers by an
annual or an occasional pass, according
to the size Of the man 8 business.
It may be good policy for the railroad
company, but this sort Of free pass
is just as mischievous and unjust as the
kind given to public officials, tho in a
different way. These trading stamp
bonuses are of the same piece with the
rebate, that crying iniquity of our
transportation system which is SO com.
monty practiced in defiance Of law. In
other commercial lines it is legitimate
to "make prices and throw in some.
thing to make sale, but it is different
in the transportation field.
Railway transportation is a commodi
ty, but it is something, more. The rail
road exists by the will of the people
and with certain special rights an6
privileges, such as eminent domain, tc
say nothing Of land grants and sub
sides in early years. These specia
favors have been granted because the
railroad performs { public service
Under the law as made by courts ane
by legislatures, railroads are recognized
as public service corporations, will
duties as we'll as privileges. The chic,
obligation Of a railroad is to furnish
transportation to the public at al
equal rate. One citizen is. entitled t.
as much accommodation and at as low;
rate as another whether he Ships on
car. a year or ten thousand, Just as he i
entitled to the sam e, trate Of. postag
whether he mails two letters a&day o
a thousand! The railroad company i
entitled to a reasonable profit, and til
public to reasonable rate, which shall
be uniform to all. Congress has recoe
nized this principle in the interstat
commerce law, by fixing severe penal
ties for giving or receiving rebates o
special concessions.
The large shipper is entitled t
service at the published tariff rate.
He is not entitled to any other favo
or concession. When he rides on
pass he is getting an advantage owe
his smaller competitor, who is denie
pass, and reducing the revenue of tn
road. The passes issued reduce pas
senger receipts and keep up passenge
rates. If all paid cash, the rates coul
be reduced. 49,"
This is an important phase of tn
pass question. There is less in
morality in this sort of pass, perhaps
than in the pass given to a public off
cial in return for a betrayal of pull
lie trust, but each in it's way is a wron
: to the public. ~ ,-.-....~ 49,

Creating a Demand for Chicago
Girls -.~' -.

All that the Chicago girls will need
when they have graduated from the
public schools of that city in order to be
good ,housekeepers. will be houses to
keep. The board of education will have
done the rest. @'....'
Industrial training in the Chicago
schools has taken on a very serious
aspect, and the experiment will be
watched with interest. In the seventh
and eighth grades they propose to in
troduce a course of instruction which
will cover the following SUBJECTS: -
How to arrange and care for kitchen
How to select, use and car efor kitchen
utensils.
What kind Of fuel to use in cooking.
What kind of foods to cook and how
to cook them.
The effect of the different foods on
digestion.
What foods are fat-producing and
what foods are heat-producing.
| How to buy foods with the greatest
possible economy. -..... =
How to write bills of fare that shall
] be attractive as well as furnish the right
proportion of different foods.
| How to keep their homes sanitary.
How to care for the plumbing.
How to darn socks.
How to patch trousers. - -.
| How to make their own dresses.
Of course, this is fad, and people
who get redheaded when they see a fad
will show signs of violent irritation be.
fore they have read halfway thru the
different kinds of work to be under
taken. At the same time, it is very
probable that lot Of practical educa-
ton is going.to be given to great
many Chicago girls who have absolutely
no other chance of learning these
things, and if the, knowledge of these
things is not calculated to make them
! better and more useful women it is diff
| fcult to see what sort of instruction
would have that effect. There is nc
intimation anywhere that the Chicago
| girl is not as we'll situated as her sisters
in other cities in respect to her matri
monia1 prospects, nor that she has been
neglected in the matrimonial market
But if it is the purpose of the wise
school fathers in that city to create a
demand for the Chicago girl, they have
gone about it in a very sensible and, nc
doubt, very effective fashion.
