ukPCTS 4. HANNA.

The death OF Marcus A. Hanna takes from
the stage Of American politics one OF its notable
md commanding figures. II q public career
brief but crowded with political opportunities
and poIitical responsibilities the junior Sena-
tor from Ohio demonstrated the possession or
unusual gifts OF leadership. Entering pollucs
late IN life. and from a field in which few Amer
fcan statesmen Of the first rank have served
their apprenticeships. he won his way by his
caDacity TO organize the forces with which he
dealt and by his courage and candOr IN facing
the political situations he had 70 meet MT.
Hanna knew little or nothing Of the arts or
diplomacv. His methods were practcal-often
practical to the point Of brusqueness. But
bis determination and openness OF character
compelled respect, and he came to be admired
and trusted by many who had been repealed at
frst by a certain mateTiality in bis ideals-a
certain hardness and narrowncss IN his OUTLOOK
Mr.. Hanna's public service covered but a
single term in the United States Senate. In that
tine be had attained place among the leaders
Of The upper house OF Congress. So in the world
Of managing politics outside he had established,
as the confidential friend and personal repre-
sentative OF Mckinley. en- even clearer claim to
prominence. As a legislator the Ohio Senator
had not served long enough 20 show his true
quality. But In party councils he ranked with
the foremost. and had he lived he might per-
hans have looked forward 10 competing for the
highest houors within the gift Of the party.
His death robs the world Of politics Of stall
wart personality. and the causes he advocated
OF an effective and powerful friend

eTsTFs M ELECTORS.

The suggestion was made a day or two ago
n THE Evening Post" that the Republican
leaders .n this state could. by q simple piece Of
strategy. checzrnate the plans now being laid
by Democratic managers 10 recapture the Presl-
dcncy. These plans contemplate a renewal or
the coalition. broken in 1896. between the
Solid South and the four doubtful Northern
States OF New-York. New-Jersey. Connecticut
and Indiana. Cleveland carried these four States
IN 1854 and in 1892. Tnden was counted as
carrying them all in 1915. and had be been able
20 hold the South's fun electoral vote he would

II the Austro-Hungarian Empire comes TO grief
at the end Of the present reign. Some OF it Is
logical. such as the Incorporation Of German
Austria and the German cantOns Of Switzer-
land But what have the Czechs Of Bohemia,
the Slovaks Of Moravia and the Slovenes OF
Trieste and Carniola TO do IN the German gal
lery? They are not Teutons, but Slavs. Why
should the Magyars be included? They are Of
Scythian ancestry. This proposed Gross
