Below will be found part of the
speech of Congressman Hamlin on
the subject of the conspiracy of the
protectionist republicans;
Mr. Chairman, in my opinion high
protection for projections sake can
not be defended at the bar of Ameri-
can intelligence. But the trouble now
is that big part Of the money un-
Justly taken from the American peo-
pie by reason of this iniquitous pro-
tective-tariff policy is used in pro-
pagating their nefarious doctrines
throughout the country iu season and
out OF season. In order that the peo-
Pile Of this country may get a meager
idea, at least, OF the activity of these
"helpless" industries, insert here a
part of the report Of the secretary of
the American Protective Tariff
League 10 its tsnneteenth annual meet
ing, held in the city of New York on
January 81, 1904.

Liszt
At the close Of the first movement
Of the sonata, the pianiste paused for
late arrivals to be stated This ini-
tial number gave each auditor the as
surance that the program was about
to be resumed by quasi professional
player rather than dilletante And
with no apprehension as to The result
Of what was to follow each listener
anticipated the comprehensive pro-
gram with increasing delight. The
second movement Of the sonata, o
highly ornate production in the tall
an style, was as beautiful under the
players fingers, as the lovely tracery
of frost covered window. The Men
uet followed 10 a graceful movement
aud was promptly succeeded by the
Prestissimo, as remarkable for it's
clearness as for an unusual velocity.
The second group consisting Of
selections from the modern French
school presented a pleasing contrast
to the Beethoven sonata in the class

tral College for the first time; and it
required but little imagination to see

Cradle Song by rhome was effectively
given, and this followed by an Ara
besque Allemande based upon pop
ular air in a unique setting with
oriental tone coloring.
1t can scarcely be considered a coin

Miss Culbertson presented the third

almost an unlimited extent If the
funds are available therefor, We
have already listed In this Office many
thousands of 'first voters,n all OF
whom have received our standard doc.

for the city to spend for new fire sta

ordinance is doubtless ill-founded.
If it cannot, the ordinance ought TO be
defeated in the other board There is
no objection, apparently, to increas-
ing the salaries Of the tiremen, nor to
increasing the number of firemen.
But a new fire station is needed, and
ought to be established, even if the
number of tiremen has to be reduced,
or the salaries cut down.

SENATOR NJ. A. HANNA.

The death of Senator M. A. Hanna
yesterday silently takes its place
among the great oalamities of this
eventful year. 1t marks a milestone
in the country's history-it signifies
che closing of a great and promising
career. The country mourns, for
within the past few years Senator
Hanna had become dear to the hearts
of the people. Ridiculed and reviled,
lampooned and slandered in the name
of politics only q few years back,
Senator Hanna's true character had
been since discovered by the people,
and he was at the time of his death
considered one of the bravest, ablest
and best of our public men. 1t is re-
marx able what a momentous change
in regard to the senator from Ohio
there has been within few years, and
there would have been a still greater
one had Senator Hanna lived to see
and profit by it.
A man of the people, he rose because
of his own efforts. He amassed wealth,
and entered politics because he liked
it. He was faithful friend to our
late beloved President Mckinley, to
his party and to the people, and did
perhaps more than any other man to
lead President Mckinley to the goal
of his ambition. 1t is pathetic that
both tts5e great men should join the
silent majority within such a short
time of one another.
But what must be, must be. Sena
tor Hanna was a man with bright
political future before him. No doubt
in the course of time, he would have
become president of the United States
He did not aspire to that honor, I'M
less he hoped for it in the future. Blu
Senator Hanna was a great man, anC
a good man. He was frank, homes
and industrious, and sought 10 bette
all classes of men. In his death tn,

II is only fair to the railroads that
enter the city, in connection with the
automatic gate matter, to have the
members Of municipal boards consider
well the ACCESSIBILITY Of having these
gates at every intersection of . rail
road and street before putting the
roads to the expense of establishing
the gates. At several of the crossings,
1t is claimed, very few trains pass,
