senator, and party alliances were forgot
ten in the general desire to do him honor
Senator Hanna was an anomaly in polit
cal life. He entered the arena of nation
al politics misconstrued, and was met at
the threshold thereof with suspicion and
abuse. Nothing succeeds like success:
after his administrative and executive
ability had been demonstrated throughout
two presidential campaigns the public con-
sented to consider the man fairly and
frankly, without prejudice and without
malice. Then the tide turned, and the
public realized that in that shrewd man of
energy and courage, of sound judgment
and great practical sagacity and exper-
fence, there was no sinister purpose. He
acts have shown consideration for all
classes and have been actuated by all mo-
tives of a broad general welfare of the
! public. And now that the dust of the
political arena is clearing away and wecan
see more distinctly the calm placid counte-
! nance of the great general beaming with
determination and tenacity of purpose
which great executive ability demands,
the remorseless hand of death dims the
(, lustre of his eve silences his CHEEKY voice
! forever, and leads him away forever from
!, the turmoil of political camps, away from
| the surging tide OF political hopes and
with all serenity, away from phalanN
of friends and admirers, into the myster-
Gus beyond. The irony of fate ever cings
to human affairs.

| An event occurred in the House this
week which caused something OF a sensa-
| ton. Contested election cases were being
considered, and among the cases contested
at this session is that Of Johu F. Shahroth
of Denver, Colorado against X. w.
Bonynge. Mr. Shahroth was four times
| elected as a silver republican, and last
ran for congress on the democratic ticket
and seemingly was elected. During an in
vestigation of the returns before one OF
.he committees on elections Mr.. Shatfortll
came to the conclusion that fradulant
methods had been employed to secure his
election and from his seat on the floor OF
the House he withdrew in favor OF Mr
Bonyne. This is an unparalleled case,
and reflects unfading credit and honor up
ON Mr.. Shaffroth. The speech in which
! he severed his connection with the House
| of which he has been member tor eight
wears. was affecting. and elected sympathy
from both sides, and when he concluded
his remarks both sides applauded him te
an echo.
The inclemencies OF the weather during

the present winter deprives the city Of
some of its wanted gayety, and renders
out of doors existence less pleasant thar

winters are but slight maaihcation o
Io.a fall weather has maintained dis
Greet silence of late.
A problem, of considerable magnitude
has resulted from the Baltimore fire. l

the recent calamity The government i
trying to give limited al d temporary re

have been taken into the government
printing Office without the usual prelini

ina,ion. However this does not carr
with it the regular exemptions from dis
charge which with certain modification
attaches to a civil service appointee
There is much ado in the government
printing office at this time over the ar
pontment of nonunon printer Will

such is often the ease. The work in tn
office is of greater amount during til

times, and greater force is required.
