But In his case the sustained attack

THE TRUTH WILL PREVAIL.

The falsehoods sent from Utah by
scrlbes that make a few dollars by
sending sensational rubbish about the
"Mormons' to eastern papers, find some
believers, but are regarded In their true
light by most thinking people, They
induce many inquirers to Investigate
and thus some good Is accomplished,
though the intent OF the inventors Is
evil. Minneapolis papers copied the vile
story that appeared in the New York
World and that was exposed in these
columns, and one Of them, the Times,
published reply by Elders j, NJ Hold
away and Ii, Carter. but the Tribune
refused to give place to their answer,
After presenting the story told in the
World the Times says;
"a vigorous denial Of these state
ments is entered by Elders j. VI. Holda-
way Of Provo, Utah, and H. Carter Of
Avon, who are at present engaged In
mission work In Minneapolis.
III these statements were true. said
Elder Holloway, 1t Is not to be Won
dered that clergymen are becoming
alarmed and insisting that something
should be done to save their floCks,
" l desire TO say this Kind Of informa-
tion Is the worst Kind OF rot There
are no Elders under contract or re-
ceiving orders for plural wives All the
missionaries are compelled to pay their

Portland Oregonian.

The blight that fell on Mr. Hanna's
political ambitions and the loss Of life
itself from the stress Of conflict lend
point anGw 10 the question whether
politics is paying investment for the
prosperous and happy man Of business
If he had continued in commercial life,
with its GROWING years of rest and
honors, Mr. Hanna would have lived to
enjoy himself for many years without
enemies, instead Of being carried TO the
grave II broken.hearte man at 66.
What killed Hanna Is precisely what
Killed McKinley--t terrific pace Of an
overwhelmed life. Many men have re-
covered from worse wounds than Nc
Kinleys; but the week the bullet lay In
his body there was not the slightest
effort Of the tissues to repair them
selves. They were helpless, they were
worn out as It was, the vitality was
gone. Mr. Hanna, too, has been lead
ing a life as full Of care as any in the
land. II Is worry that kills men; and Il
kills most Of them as II did Mckinley
and Hanna.

Pueblo ChieftaIn.

No American ever looked upon tht
fierce sun Of presidential ambition with
untroubled eyes. Yet no man car
truthfully claim that Mark Hanna UNI
der any stress Of temptation has ever
been guilty of the slightest infractlon
of the code of honor established by
himself to regulate his duty toward his
murdered friend, or toward the man
who has so ably and conscientiously
carried forward the policies and the
principles Of the Mckinley adminlstra-
ton, Speculation may run rife over
all the varied possibilities of what
might have happened in the near or In
the remote future, had Senator Hanna
continued to hold his place In the Re-
publican councils and in the direction
OF national affairs, But such specula-
ton is apart from the duty Of the hour
One of the greatest Americans has
passed away, and the party he has
seryed 90 long and the nation whom he
has benefited so greatly finds its chief
duty is that Of grief,

San TrancIsco Chronicle.

The taste for public life which Mr.
Hanna acquired during that campaign
led him into the Senate, in which, and
especially during the lifetime Of Presi-
dent Mckinley, he was one of the dom
inant factors. To large part Of the
people he was, until quite recently, bet
ter known by carlcatures than by his
actual personality, which, II Is unnes-
sary to say, had very little resemblance
to the portraits made by his political
enemies Mr., Hanna was In no sense
statesman, lie did not originate and
promote great national and interna-
tional policies, He did however, bring
to the practical problems of politics
and legislation the sagacity Of trained
business man OF commanding intellect,
remarkable administrative ability and
great executive force lie oyertasked
himself, however, and his position az a
national figure was unQuestionably
gained at the cost Of some years of his
life.

THE MUNICIPAL MIDDLE.

II will be seen from the opinion of

purpose is to consolidate the local farm
