MARCUS A. HANNA.
Nth the death of Senator
w Marcus \. Hanna here

"
passed away one of the
foremost figures Of the Western
world. His career was typical
of thu republic and possible only
withjn its confines. The country
know of his illness, and later of
his extreme peril, but, for all
that, his death came as shock
for most people hoped, and many
t fought, that he would recover
from what proved his mortal
illness.
. Had Senator Hanna died in
the flash of his triumph as the
leader in the great President Il
struggle of 1896, or at the close
of the no less important CON
test in 1900, he would have
ranked mainly as u mrstelly
political stratcgist, with few
e HIal and no Supporters, among
tna couut,y's makers OF Presi-
dents.
But Mr.. ITanna's career in
The Senate, proved his ability,
and showed him the compeer Of
the ablest Of his associates in
the worlds foremost forum.
With none of the graccs of the
trained orator, and none of the
arts of the practiced debater his
practical business tact and sound
common sense, made him a
sturdy defender of any cause
which he championed, and a
formidable opponent in any
contest upon the floor of the
Senate.
Eight years ago. he was the
worst abused and most widely
hated man within the confines
of the country. He died on
Monday evening, commanding
the admiration of most, the
regard of many and the respect
of all Of his fellow citizens. In
that brief time. stamped with
the distinctive sign of true
greatness, he had conquered
prejudice, which only the truly
great accomplish.
Seuator Hanna had his faults,
as have all strong characters.
He was not a saint: nor was he
a pseudo saint. If there be no
room for a Christian in politics,
he may have been at times u
sinner. He was plain, blunt
practical man, who took the
straight road to his object, and
measured the cost only by the
preponderant value of the end
to be gained. He was not
schooled in methods of indirec-
ton, and his position upon any
question never had to be sur
missed. He was frank, candid,
bold, and, when need was, dar-
ing. Purists questioned his
methods, at times, but practi-
cal people approved them, and
the victor never has need to
apologize for the means by
which he wins his triumphs.

BALTIMORE'S BIG BLAZE.

YALE past week has been Il
busy one in Baltimore,
despite the desolation
wrought by the recent great
contlagration. The work Of
! c'rdiug the streets trdNer,ing
tlo burned district and lcveIclI-
Jag threatening walls has been
pushed vigorously. The great
majority Of individuals, firms
and corporate concerns whose
premises were either destroyed
or rendered useless have found
new locations and are making
every effort to resume business
and retain their trade connec-
tions. The banks affe, ted by
the disaster have all opened
again with unimpaired re
sources, and the u. S. Sub
Treasury is responding to the
fullest possible extent to the
financial needs of the commu-
nifty. The force of militia guard
ing the burned district has been
reduced one half, and will,
likely, soon be withdrawn en-
tirely. Little or no disorder has
occurred anywhere in the city,
and the main question with its
residents is how to make a bet
ter and bigger Baltimore.
An advisory committee of
representative citizens is for
mulating proposals and devising'
ways and means for dealing
with the various aspects of the
problem presented by the con-
tlagration. and its prompt report
is looked for, as upon it's features
will depend much of the work
of rebuilding which will not
long be delayed. 1t is more
than likely that the commission
will recommend the widening
and Strengthening of several of
the usually most crowded streets
in the burned district, limit the
height of new buildings and
regulate their construction.
Several remedial measures have
been or will be submitted to the
Legislature one Of which, to
defer pleading day in actions in
the City Courts under which no
judgments can be obtained
until late in April, has become
a law. 1t is also proposed to re-
peal the tax on mortgages but
this repeal may be made to
apply only to the cities and for
a limited time. 1t is also pro-
posed to stay the execution of
judgments already obtained for
a definite or indefinite time but
