what a good many Americans will do.
This reaction against Japan, how
ever, will not be half as significant as
1t appears, if it takes place. The
strong pro-Japanese sentiment in this
country has existed fer many years.
It will be remembered that this coun-
Try took an active part in the open

American traders and teachers have
been active there. The sentiment of
the average American toward the
japanese is not at all the same as to-

reason why il should be. for they are
about as unlike as the English and
the French. Japan has about as much

HANNA's CAMPAIGN METHODS.

Senator Hanna applied the same
methods to the conduct of the cam
paign Of 1896 that he did 10 his bust
ness said Assistant Secretary Arm
strong, of the Treasury Department
Il was in Chicago at that time, and
was doing both the Republican and
the Democratic headquarters for my
New York newspapers. The difference
between the systems employed at the
two headquarters was conspicuous. At
the Democratic headquarters everything
seemed to be generalities. At the Re-
publican headquarters Senator Hanna
had his finger on every school district
and precinct in the country He was
just as well satisfied that Mckinley
was to be the next President on the
night before election as he was after
the returns came I'm. As closely any
thing Is possible In politics, It had been
figured out at Republican headquarters
just what the vote OF the country would
be
1T seemed astonishing that when any
question came up as to the vote OF any
particular locality. a clerk was able to
go TO a pigeonhole and pull down a file
showing through an actual canvass just
what the vote OF that locality would be.
II Is the first time that the actual meth
DDS of business were applied on any
such scale 10 national politics. To me
the conduct OF that campaign is the
best tribute / know to the marvellous
executive ability and grasp OF affairs
which Mr.. Hanna possessed.

Desks of officials high in authority at

series of push buttons that will bring

Buttons are arranged in scales, accord

MCKINLEY AND HANNA.

The last time l ever saw President
Mckinley was one afternoon when
was called over to the White House to
consult with him." said Commissioner
John w. Yerkes, Of the Bureau Of In
ternal Revenue. Senator Hanna was
there, and we all went into the little
room near the library. The first thing
Mckinley said was. Mark, give me q
cigar; yours are always better than
mine
No man will ever know the amount
of work Senator Hanna did in the
campaign Of 1896. The attention he
gave to details was something mar
veious. In the campaign Of 1900 he
utilized the services Of experienced men
who had been trained under him in the
campaign of 1896, and consequently was
not compelled TO give the work the same
minute attention.
Il believe two men have never come
so completely into public favor in this
country as Lincoln and Hanna Both
did so in a remarkably short period OF
time. In 1857 Lincoln was almost I'M
known. Between then and 1866 he at
tanned a marvellous hold on the affec-
tions of the people. And between 1896
and 1904 the same was true OF Senator

Japanese Military Methods.
The ThoToughness, Logic, and Skill
With Which Japan Plans Operations.

Not the least factor in the creation
OF pro-Japanese sentiment IN this
country and elsewhere is observation
OF the way in which Japan's military
operations are carried on. Since the
war began, stories have been coming

showing the patience. thOroughness
and sagaeity with which Japan has
been preparing for war. One story
Il TO the effect that the japanese took
pains To get descriptions of the Rus
san battleships which the Cramps
bnlit. some of which are now aground
and helpless. 1t is said that there
are IN possession of japanese mill
taly authorities descriptions of these
ships 50 minute that they know ex-
actly what could be done with them
or against them. Ii is also said that
ihev purpose TO raise and utilize these
ships, if possible, in further navel
operations, which would be a pretty
bitter pill for Russia to swallow.
japanese maps are said to show not
only the general conformation of the
country over which fighting is likely
to take place, but the location of
every bush, hut, tree, and spring.
Any old soldier will understand how
valuable such detailed maps will be
to columns on the march.
The japanese also have an advan-
tage in being able to disguise them
selves as Chinese, and pass for Chi
nese in Manchuria, a disguise which
IS utterly impossible, of course, for a
Russian. Some of them, it is said.
lave disguised themselves as Chinese
servants and worked for Russian
military authorities, gathering there
by much valuable information. n.
short, there is literally nothing at
which a japanese will stop, when it
Is a ease of personal service to his
country.
The same readiness to use any
means to accomplish a worthy end

students in this country. Many OF
these students have taken service as

PENDEL AT GRAND RAPIDS.

Thomas Pendel, the venerable White
rouse messenger, who has been on
DUTY at the Executive Mansion since
lSe4' and who escorted President Lin
coin to his carriage the night of the
ASSASSINATION. has just returned from
Grand Rapids, where he was invited
by Representative William Alden Smith
10 take part in the Lincoln's Birthday
observances.
Mr. Pendel, who is thought by some
TO resemble Lincoln. was given a great
reception at Grand Rapids. He was
presented by Representative Smith,
chairman Of the evening. Fully 1900
people had gathered. brimful of en-
thusiasm for Lincoln and Pendel and
Roosevelt and Sternburg and Emperor

Gifted Mr.. Wallace's theory Is that
when Poe revisited the South in 1S49
he took long rambles around the
country. aud left this --latest product
of his muse" with his host at some
inn or farmhouse. The host subse~
ouently emigrated TO California and
took the souvenir with him, and there
NJ Russell's brother found it. This
interesting theory, and the poem, are
discussed at some length, and with
characteristic fippancy, by the New
York Sun," which never had any rev.
erenee for anything, and dismisses
the poem with comments likely to
wound Mr.. Russeli's heart The
poem begins:
Leonainie, angels named her, and they took the
light
OF the laughing stars and framed her in 4
smile Of white.
Now, there is another chapter in
this Poe mystery which Mr.. Wallace
evidently never heard, and which the
"Sun" either does not know or has
forgotten. 1t might be supposed that
Col. John 4. Joyce would have
claimed the authorship, but he never
has, and that Is not the other chapter.
About the time that Mr.. Wallace says
his brother found this poem kicking
about IN California, a story went the
rounds of the newspapers to the effect
that James Whitcomb Riley, when
young and foolish, conceived the idea
of writing poem in the style OF Poe
to hoax the public. He wrote this
enc and sent it to local paper signed
HE. 4. P" To his unholy delight the
editor printed ii with a surmise that
il was Poe's. and Poe enthusiasts all
ever the country began to discuss the
matter. II this story Is true, and MIR.
Riley happens to see the article IL
the ''Fortnightly Review" he will
probably chuckle some more over 1t.
But it will be of no use to ask HIM
whether he wrote it or not. James
Whitcomb Riley is not the man to
spoil a Joke. However, readers OF
poetry ought to be able to determine
for themselves Whether the poem Is IL
the style of Poe or Riley. To our
mind it has all the earmarks of In
diana.

A Possible Reaction.
Effect Of the Progress of the War on
Popular Sentiment.

Nothing could seem more certain
than that the synpathies Of this eoun.
try regarding the war in the East are,
thus far, almost entirely with Japan.
The plucky fight which the islanders
are making for independence of Rus
sian control naturally appeals to
American love Of liberty, while there
is also a tendency in this country to
sympathize with the "under dog" in
any fight. This was shown by the
sentiment freely expressed regarding
the Boer war.
Action, however, is always followed
by reaction, and it Is entirely possible
that, should the war continue for six
months or longer, public sentiment In
this country will apparently swing
round to the opposite side, and we
shall hear anti-Japanese opinions as
freely as we now hear denumciations
of Russia. The unthinking among
our people, who take up any sort of
cause as they might a new vaudeville
star or a popular song, may get tired
Of shouting for Japan by and by and
begin 10 admire Russia. Some of
these people will take up the Russian
side of the argument out Of sheer per
versity, and an unspoken desire to
sppear wiser than their neighbors.
There are two sides to every conflict,
and undoubtedly a good argument
could be made from the Russian side
Of the business. No country is all
Rad or all good, and only careful
and thoughtful study of conditions III
the Far East. and of the policy of
Russia in her dealings with Oriental
peoples, as well as with European
POWERS, can enable anyone TO decide
which, IN this particular conflict, is
the side favorable TO civilization IN
It's broader aspects. 1t is absurd to
decide such a question from mere
prejudice in favor Of ''the white
