THE WHOLE THING. tvrvmt* CTttm Bulk ill* Gnat KepabUeu J«Hi It Is something new sod preposterous to the American people that a private vitizec like Mark llanua should assume toot only all the duties of apolitical boss In ruling a party, but all the duties of a dictator in fixing the policy of the government. Boss and czar rule has appeared in the past. But the display was never as offensive before. There was a sort of humor and good nature in the appearance of Hnuna as the manager of Maj. McKinley’s campaign for the presidential nomination. He also displayed great executive ability in political management. As an amateur, dashing into the political arena, be surpassed in ability and craft the veteran professionals and experts of many campaigns. He defeated Reed, Allison, flarrison, Morton, Alger aud other candidates at the republican national convention in j 8t. Louis. It does not appear that he | displayed unusual cunning. He used but few political arts.. It apj'earcd merely that llanna represented a possible j campaign fund of Monte Cristo prupor- j tions and that he would be the almoner j of patronage if McKinley should be nominated for president and elected. ! That settled it. There could be no serious objection j to all this as partisan methods are pro- j ticed. Republican candidates always are nominated by machine methods, which include both terrorism and cor- j ruption if they are necessary to ac- j complish the purposes of machine lead- J crs. But now, after the nomination and election, comet* a startling innovation. Hanna has developed from a caucus aud convention be**, from a mere faction or » party organizer, to" a dictator who proposes to shape the legislation of con* /gress on tariff and ftaanCHUSubj It is the most -flagrant usurpation of bora rule that ever was attempted. The repirts say that at a recent meeting of the senate committee ou finance, Hanna was the main spokesman an«l interpreter of the McKinley policy for the future. It need no unt: sia-l g ft of Intelligence to understand that the McKinley policy i* Inspired by Hanna. There will In* no legislation on the tariff nor on finance which McKinley w ill approve unless It has. Hanna's inspiration and authorship, f Credible rumor clothes Ha|*.no| with power to negotiate in McKinley's name for cabinet appointments. He will make up the administration, lie is to exercise in McKinley's name, or rather In the presidential name, the powers of the executive in constructing the cabinet. Kvery applicant for a federal appointxnent under McKinley, each person expecting a share of the patronage and i spoils, applies to lianna for nn indorse- ; ment.' It is understood that while he is attempting to exercise czar rule in regard to legislation he will by tho fountain and source of presidential appointments. How long will the people stand this flagrant display and offensive exercise of one-man pow er outside of office ornuthority? How will great republican leaders stand the rule and dictation.of a ■* new man who has intruded into jwtrty counsels and control? The appearance of a private citizen assuming the duties and powers of president is dictating public policy ton committee of congress and in dispensing the %rr*t patronage of the adnunistration\ a new “Ohio idea” of the worst charaVu-r. It must have or^inated in theyde^thx of political perversity and corruption. tVill the great republican leaders. Senator Sherman. Speaker Reed, ex-Sen-ntor Thomas C. Platt and others of their class, accept the dictatorship of the new mar. in politics? Will they abdicate the place of hour red leadership which they have held for years in favor of this interloj>er in public affairs? It would not be unwise to venture a prediction to the effect that within six .months Boss and Czar Hanna will lx* the most unpopular man in the republican jmrty or in the country, except, possibly, McKinley, if he shall obey Hanna's boss uh) czar edicts!—Chicago Chronicle.

It is time to say the fact that no mention of a policy against them is made by Mr. Lianna. -Svengnli Hanna has cahueti the ruffled spirit of Trilby Reed and rhanped hk warlike voice to that of a swallow twittering in the eaves.— Chicago Chronicle. -The real reason why the republicans in the senate did not want te take up the Dinpley tariff bill was that this would bring the silver question before the senate, and the free coinage substitute would again be passed.— Kansas City Times, ——The problem of managing the trusts is a difficult one. but attempts will be made to solve it until they are successful. The **combines” and the republican party had better recognize this fact now than later.—Louisville Courier-Journal. -It required a rear and a half to pass the McKinley biM and about as loup to pass the Wilson biQ. ami yet some people appear to believe that the extra session of the Fifty-fifth congress will pass and have In operation n new tariff measure before the end of Slay.—St Paul Globe. -Still we hear the wails of those “tariff reformers" who helped to elect McKinley for the sake of the paid standard. They do not seem to be able to ✓ swallow the McKinley trust and mo-1 nopoly protection pili.

THE DINGLEY BILL DEAD. gepibUMuu WIH Btn to Walt for III* HtKIiUcj Coairco. It Is now frankly confessed that the Dingley tariff bill is dead; and. as a matter of fact, there was never any hope of it from the start. It was toa much to expect that the opposition sen* •tors would surrender the advantage they possess and place themselves in the hands of the incoming administration; and that Mr. Cleveland and the democrats would confess the failure of their tariff bill and pass a republican measure so os to smooth the way for MciKniey and save him trouble. It would be a case of public spirit triumphing over politics, which has never been seen before in this or any other country. And it is well that it should be so. We ilo not believe in the Cleveland administration attempting to do what the people have elected Mr. McKinley to do, or of the present congress attempting the task of straightening out the difficult matter of our revenues and the tariff, when a congress was elected only a few weeks ago. fresh from the people, and. it is to be supposed, in full nlligumeut with the people and instructed as to what they want. It is far better for each administration to undertake the work confided to it, and not to anticipate it. It is an unfortunate matter that^jt should take the people so long in this country to get what they want. In other countries a newly-elected parliament or assembly goes into office at once and begins work at one?, carrying out the popular will. Here we havp tft wait at a minimum four months; hnd unless called in extra session, the newly* elected congress does not meet unti. 13 months after the election- So that the people cannot get what they ask for and vote for iu less than a year. This is one of the defects of our constitutional system, due to the fact that the framers of the constitution feared suddeu popular ebullitions, and deemed at best that there should be > long interval between the expression of the popular will and carrying it into effect, in which time art opportunity was offered for the people to ecol off a little. Whether this view of the matter is right or wrong, the fact remains that it is the law; and under this law and system it would be far better to leave the passage of« revenue treasure to the McKinley congress, which goes Into office in March, instead of attempt^ >ng to pas* such a revenue measure now and relieve the congress-elect from responsibility. Public sentiment has been drifting iu that, direction for some time, in spite of the efforts of some few enthusiasts to relieve Mr. McKinley of all trouble and smooth the way for. him. The republicans seem at last to have awakened to the fact that they cannot ex]H*ct the present congress to do then work for them, and the action of the republican senatorial caucus in refer* I ring the Dingley bill to a sitting committee is accepted as evidence that they have no intention of sincerely attempting its passage. Whatever is to be done in the way of reinforcing and strengtheningour revenues will be done [ bv the congress elected in November, which is supposed to be more in accord with the popular sentiment in this matter than the congress now in sessior —N. O. Times-Democrat.

TRUST SMASHING. A Good Chance for Kepuhllrena to Shoo ThruwvlTH Honest. The p-« sklent's ejgg»stionr th. I th,> states may do much to break up the trusts and monopolies is fruitful. Wise laws in regulation 5 of corporations which, while preserving their usefulness as servants. will curb all abuse qf their powers, would strike a deadly blow at monopolistic combinations. Hurtful monopoly is usually gamed in one of two ways—either by government favor in the form of legislative advantages or by railroad discrimination in the form of special rates or rebates. Usually both advantages ore enjoyed. If the states visited severe penalties upon railroads guilty of discriminations nnd upon corporations and individuals entering into combinations to regulate production or prices, the trusts and mo? no;>olic>s would be badly crippled. The monopolv< combinations could be almost weeded out of the states by the enforcement of the principles of the common law. Hut the other trust coign of vantage, the legislative privilege, is within the scope of federal power. The sugar trust enjoys a differential in the tariff which eut tics it tc defy outside competition and rob the people. TarifTdiscriminations are enjoyed by a host of trusts and combines. The beginning of many of the trusts w as founded on the bounty tariff, which is still their chief bulwark. let congress, in addition to making laws to prevent the operation of trusts within the scope of federal authority, adopt the rule that every article handled by a trust or combination shall be placed upon the free list and the corner atone of monopoly will be knocked out. If the republicans are sincere in ■their profession of a desire to smash the mists, here is an opening.— St Louis Republic. ——The republican leaders have concluded to begin their tariff agitation at once. There is no prospect of the passage of the DLngley bill in the senate, and there is no chance for much dis turbance on that score, so. the ways and meads committee will begin at once to agitate, with the view of being prepared to go into the extra session ready for the fight, which teems probable in I view of the republican differences on the tariff question.—Binghamton (N. Y.) leader. ^ --Maybe the reason w e don’t hear wu much talk about reciprocity now lies in the increased respect in which Mr. McKinley is held since id* success at the pdk Be was opposed to the introduction of the reciprocity clause hi hi* tari* bill, you know, and agitation in its favor might o*and Mm.—fit. Louis Republic.

THE FARMING WORLD. PORTABLE MANGERS. A Splendid Thins Where Cattle Are Kepi la Shedded Varda During several winters, when out in institute work, I Jrnve occasionally visited the farms oi large cattle feeders, and have noted their different methods of sheltering, feeding and mauaging. I have been favorably impressed with the plan of a yard with movable mangers and sheds along the leaders for shelter and protection from min and winds, and with dehorned cattle (and I would feed no others) the cattle can be kept comfortable at a far less expense than to build barns for them, and also fed with less labor. The plan is to build sheds at right angles to each other, to take the place of a fence on the north and west sides of the feed lot, and on the east side make a high board fence. The sheds should be made 10 or 12 feet wide, and a yard for 40 steers should be about 100 feet square. The sheds are for shelter in stormy weather, and to sleep

A PORTABLE MANGER, h. under at night, but t here should be feed bo\,e* in which te give salt, and where j car corn or ground feed can be fed if desired. The feed boxes should be at the back part of the shed and fastened : securely three feet from the ground. The feed lot should be located on dry. J ' solid ground, and must be furnished with good water troughs or tanks, and j around these there should be a foot of broken stone and gravel, so that in the worst weather it would not get muddy, but if in a locality where stone and gravel cannot be had a plank floor eau j { take its place. The yard must not be allowed to become a nutdhele, but be kept covered with straw and the fodder waste so as to keep the stock out of the mud. It is advisable to haveai lot adjoining inclosed with a secure fence into which threat tie can be driven if desirable while putting their feed in the boxes or mangers. Most cattle are fed shook corn, and when this is the case they arc fed in portable mangers made 0 feet wide and l2 or 14 feet long. They must be made strong, and there should be corner posts 4 inches square, and one post in the middle of each side, making six in all. Cross pieces _*\4 of strong, hard wood, preferably oak, should be j bolted to the posts to hold them together and support the floor of the mangers. and the floor should be two feet above the ground, so that the hogs that follow the cattle can get under them to get the waste corn, and the jxvsts should be 3 feet and 3 inches high so that the hogs cannot jump into the mangers and togivesufficient depth to hold the fodder i corn. The waste from the fodder will soon accumulate around these mangers so as to keep the cattle clean. Six dehorned steers, or often eight, will eat ! from one of these mangers, but I would advise that one be provided for each six I steers. If it is desirable at any time t< move the mangers a low sled can be placed beside it and two men can tip the manger over on the sled and take it ! where it is wapted. The mangers | must be so arranged as to give plenty of room to pass between them with the wagon and turn the team and pass out. I The mangers should stand far enough i apart so that cattle can stand and eat out of either side or end of any one of them and not interfere with those at the adjoining maugers. j The value of the eorn for hogs is esti- | mated by experienced cattle feeders to be on an average half as much as it would be if fed to the hogs direct instead of to the cattle, and there have 1 been cases where the hogs have made unusual gains, and pork has advanced in price during the period of feeding, i that the gain cn the hogs has paid the entire eost of the feed. Another ad- ! vantage of feeding out the Corn crop is that large quantities of very\ rich manure will be produced, which w-hl increase the fertility of the farm. 1/met farmers at the institutes during the last winter who said that they-bad-'more ; than doubled the productive capacity of their" farms by feesling cattle for a series of years.. The illustration shows j one of the feed mangers. — Waldo H j Brown, In X. Y. Tribune. I _ ■ , ——

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS. The cow likes a variety of food; gratify her as often as you can. No butter-maker, however expert, ean make good butter out of poor cream. An expert says that popular taste ; does not require as much salt in butter as formerly. “Scrub” eows average not more than 100 to 123 pounds of butter per year. Double this yield. (When the creams of different cows arc°mixed together great care should be taken to see that the whole is thoroughly mixed and ripened. This is the time of year when cow's i teats become cracked and sore. Much | trouble may be avoided, by seeing that j the teats are thoroughly dried imrne- ; dii.tely after milking. If they become \ cracked, use carbolized sweet oiL—Cob ! man's Rural World. Xo I'roiit la senb Hens Don't waste good grain and good i time and good attention this winter on scrub hens. You can’t afford to keep I them. If your hens are not averaging you 14 or 13 dozen eggs apiece during the year you are not making as much money off them as you ought, ft takes about eight dozens of eggs a year to pay the hen's board and keep, and if you let her fall under that you are keeping her at a lose. Don't do it. Get rid of the mongrel stock you have and start in with thoroughbreds. The scrub hen is causing a loss to the farmers of millions of dollars every jesr.—Rural World.

A single order for 1,000,000 pounds of smoking tobacco was a new record for that line at business recently achieved by a Virginia tobacco manufacturing firm. English place names are as interesting as American. The bishepof Worcester is trying to unite against their will the parishes of North Piddle and Upton Snodsbury. Last year Belgium imported 2,160,84? pounds of raw hides frpm the United States. The imports in the same time from Argentina and Uruguay were 40,000,000 pounds. Citizens of Grand Rapids have declared war against a city ordinance compelling property owners to cause the snow to be removed from their walks before nine a. m. In Nashville the patrol wagon is furnished with pneumatic tires to the wheels. The wagon is also used as an ambulance, which explains the wherefore of the luxury. ARROW POINTS, If pigeon-toed people knew how funny they look they wouldn’t walk that way. A woman’s idea of being a dutiful wife is to keep her husband supplied with slippers. A woman thinks that if a man doesn’t know just how to fold his napkin, it is U sign he lacks culture. If anybody should try to make us do the fool things we do of our own accord how we would bewail our hard lot.
