Gamblers in Cotton Prices.
From the Chleago RNord. Herald.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
One does not need to be a firbarcier or
statistician to discern the damage that is
done TO legitimate industry by those who
speculate in the prices of commodities
Where the commodity is a raw product Of
the soil. extensively used in manufacture
tie damage done by the gamblers in prices
may be great enough to ruin an Industry
and to menace the welfare of thousands
When leading financiers agree, however,,
that the recent wild speculation in the cot
ton market Is "demoralizing and likely to
cause serious trouble" there is no room
left for argument. 1t leaves no one to de-
fend the gambling in prices but the gam
blers themselves, for the producers and
the consumers are all. agreed as to the de-
moralizing effects of the speculation.

Marcus A. Hanna.

The death of Mr.. Hanna is truly a ma
Gonal loss. and considerable one. He has
J for eight years played an important part in
our ma tional affairs. and played it well. He
secured. and held. the confidence of the
country In business circles as well as in
wage earning circles he was esteemed a
statesman Of sagacity and fair dealing His
influence was exerted in behalf of the pub
hic credit, of progress in affairs. and of a
friendly. helpful understanding between
capital and labor. Hanna the man was as
busy in all matters touching these questions
as Hanna the senator. He 1abored unceas-
ingly, taking his official commission as a
sserious call to duty. and finding in the work
before him an inspiration to his best en-
tieavors. He contributed very materially.
Indeed. to the shaping of the policies which
Since 1897 have wrought so wonderfully for
the country's advantages. His disappear
lance from the scene, therefore, and In a
fsense so sudden, viii both shock and grieve
the people everywhere.
Mr. Hanna Will rank one Of our re-
markable men He was sixty years of age
when ne became a commanding political
quantity. Up to that time, while he had
been no stranger to politics-bearing as
good citizen his share in the local cam
tpaigns-he had in the main addressed him
lself to private business interests which be-
cause of their size had been exacting. But
when the man whom he had helped to
make President called for his counsel here
in office, he accepted Office, and almost I'M
mediately rose to power there. He proved
sto be not only an excellent adviser, but
istrong debater, holding his own in the SEN
late questions of great difficulty with
Men schooled in discussion by lifetime
devoted to public speaking. The voice
(which had not hitherto been lifted except
ut the council table of business establish
nent was now heard in the Senate of the
UNITED States with respect and admiration.
He spoke easily and effectively. and as
Though born to the speakers purple.
The relations which Mr.. Hanna bore to
Mr. Mckinley were most affectionate. He
helped the statesman and loved the man.
MIR McKinley's great success in Office was
dear, to his heart. But Mr.. McKinley's
death did not abate Mr.. Hannas interest
In his party's policies, or lessen his desire
flor his party's continued success. He re-
manned to the end an ardent, active repub-
nican. and had he lived would have exerted
himself to the full, we may be sure, in be-
half of the man whose nomination for
fine presidency has been Enthusiastically
foreshadowed these two and a half years
lpast.

a summer SONG.

Ho, for song of summer,
When the dust is thick on the road;
When the fearful heat
In the crowded street
Makes you think that well all explode!
When the air Is thick and humid,
When your collars have wilted low,
When the hills or the sea
Are as hot as can be,
And there's no place at all to goi fj5 2
It's then that we'll miss the winter,
And the wind that is sharp with frost.
We will sit and sigh
For the days gone by,
Nor think Of what coal has cost ,y>of
So we'll calmly face the blizzard
AS it hurtles across the plain,
For the day will come
When we're sad and glum, ,-.,.
And We'll wish it were here again.

Roosevelt and Wall Street.

From the Galveston News.
All notion of overthrowing Roosevelt has
evidently been abandoned. Each day brings,
even in the newspapers that have been
abusing him. confirmatory evidence of the
certainty of his nomination and the almost
practical certainty that it will be by ac-
clamation. new turn has been taken
lately in discovering that railroad men are
urgent for him. President Stillman of the
big City Bank of New York has been dining
at the White House. and President Cassatt
of the PENNSYLVANIA railroads. said to have
exchanged civilities with tie President of
the United States. If this sort of thing
keeps up it will not be long before that
scheme to convince the country that all the
Wan streeters and other corporation kings
are eager to mob Roosevelt will be fully
exposed

old-Fashioned Winter.

From the New York Tribune.
Surely. an old-fashioned winter beyond
dispute this has been! Reports everywhere
from ocean d,land prove that theorists who
declared that the climate In the northern
temperate zone has been growing so much
milder for a series of seasons that we need
not dread the former violence of storms and
the descents of the mercury into disconcert-
ing depths have been wildly in error Upon
railroad lines out west even the roofs of
snowsheds have been crushed in by tho
ponderous heaps of snow.
