THAT HANNA LETTER.

Discussion is being revived in the
Eastern newspapers about a letter once
written by Mark A. Hanna, the alleged
Republican boss of Ohio. In this let.
ter it is claimed that Mr.. Hanna used
the expression, &" No man in public of
flee owes the public anything,
The recently published life of Mr..
Hanna by Herbert CroIy. which was
reviewed in The Tribune last month,
carries the letter, but the author has
tlcitv, 1t is likely, however. that the
letter IS genuine enough, and so far
a that is concerned, we don Z see any
real cause for the charge against Mr.
Hanna: it is chiefly a matter of hon
cstly constituting the language. The let.
ter complained OF is one alleged to
have been written by Mr. Hanna to
David Is. Watson al time when Mr.
Watson was Attorney General of Ohio
In it Mr.. Hanna is alleged to have
said that ''there is no greater mistake

An interesting report is made to the
Department of Commerce and Labor by
our Consul General, John g. Foster. at
Ottawa, Canada. In this report he
shows that the current years budget
of the Dominion will carry primary

waterway. They contemplate deepen

The locks will be dcepened TO 80 feet
and reduced in number from twenty
two to seven. The canal s waterway
is also TO be widencd from its present
dimensions Of 80 feet to n width Of
200 feet. Those in charge of the work
Of enlargement claim that, as re-
suit of these changes, eight hours In

The announced purpose Of the Do

however, indicates strongly the inter

of the value Of such service and Of the
check which it interposes upon high
railroad rates for transportation. There
arc two projects in the United States
now for connecting the Great Lakes
through the Chicago drainage canal and
the Illinois river, connecting with the
Mississippi and reinforcing the supply
of water at need in that stream; and
the other is proposed ship canal from
| Cleveland TO the waters Of the Ohio
river. The Feasibility Of the Chicago
project is amply demonstrated, and
that Of the Cleveland project is said
to be proved by surveys. These two
connections will doubtless, in time. be
come important factors in our water
ways systems when they are fully de-
veloped. The Government of the United

iects will doubtless strike quick and
hard. and will put on such force i'll men
and money as to bring results.

ITS MALICIOUS FABRICATION.

1t is more necessary that you keep

Are you keeping clean inside with

No odds how badly and upset you

of the abolition of slavery.
Until after the Revolutionary War,
the farmers of this country used the
same crude tools used by the Egyp-
tians and Israelites. AS late as 1887
the iron pillow was rejected by New
Hampshire farmers on the ground that
it poisoned the soil, checked the
growth of useful plants and promoted
the growth of weeds-a state of mind
as commendable as the ancient belief
in Ceres as the founder of agriculture,
and the fear of arousing her wrath by
adapting only change in methods.
"The farm implements and methods
of 1900 are no more to be compared
with those of the present than are
the home and business conveniences

1.-The bushel of corn takes more Ia
Dor than wheat, by about forty-one
minutes, but it took nearly four hours
velopment of corn planters, cultivators,
and binders for cutting. Less than
one-third the former labor cost is put
into each bushel. The farmer receives
mere for his labor and the consumer
can pay the profits of handling all
along the line, and still eat cheaper
corn-bread than the second or the third
generation back
Farm machinery of all sorts has
been substituted for men, in releas-
ing labor to the factories, and the pow

cost of producing food.
