HANNA's PROPHECY.


ees0 1eases new Rs.niagT TuA HAST
N ohle, hut 1alls Are 0esoa.
In bitter speech at Piqua, O., sn
Get. ID Senator Hanna said:
II want to 60 on record ON this prep
'sdtisn. If by your votes next month
you serve notice upon the country that
you favor casting aside the safe bust
ness principles that have brought the
present prosperous condition, by and
by-and it will not be very long-you
will be eating at the soup houses
again"
Well, in spite of the fact that Ohio
under this soup house threat voted as
Hanna desired. yet the soup houses
have come. They have come us re.
suit Of closed mills and reduced wages.
Read the following news items from
Cincinnati, o., Jan. 10:
councilman Michael Mullen of the
Eighth ward Wednesday morning es-
tablished free soup house at 435 East
Front street. 1t was instantly crowded
by poverty stricken with baskets, bro.
ken spout coffeepots. bottles and tin
cans to carry away solid provisions,
soup and coffee. The condition of the
unemployed has become so desperate
and thieving so epidemic that our ma.
chinery Of justice has broken down.
Here is a scene in court: A man is OH
the stand who is caught with stolen
bread. The officer who arrested him is
called as the prosecuting witness. He
addressed the judge:
Judge, there are nearly 200 people
down there who are starving. This
man Jones is workingman and not q
thief. He was going to share what he
stole with the others. To prevent worse
crimes, such as burglary, we must ar
rest these men. They are out from
o'clock in the morning for what they
can find to eat. A loin of pork was
stolen Monday morning, and the gro
Ger told us not to look for it. "Lord
knows, they need it," he told us. In
the buildings at 31S, 800 and 800 there
are many who have not a cent and who
have nothing to eat'
Here is the judges verdict after lis
tening to the policeman's plea fol
mercy:
"The stealing of bread under such
circumstances is no offense."
And this happened in the Republican
city Of Cincinnati, in the Republican
state of Ohio and in the Republican
country of the United States after six
years of the greatest crops ever seen
in any country on Gods green foot.
stool. There is no place to put the
blame for this horrible state of affairs
except upon Republicans and Repub
lican legislation, upon the Hannas
Roosevelts and Dingleys and their leg
islation. Let the voters do their duty
at the polls next fall, and the Repub
ican fakirs will be relegated to the
rear and soup houses will cease to ex-
list when natural conditions are SC
favorable for prosperity. The Repub
licans have had an extraordinary run
Of luck, but they have at last left of

boom has burst. They must now an
