Boas Hanna ha* all the proverbial thrift oI the very rich man. lie knows the art of making other* pay for what he want* for himself, and he u> utilusing it in the Ohio campaign. Although there are. no national issues tu the Ohio campaign, the republican national committee is taking an active part in it and is putting up money liberally to help Hanna get that coveted election to the Senate. To all intents and purposes. Boss Banna and bis man Dick, who are the managers of the republican campaign in Ohio, control the republican national committee and the surplus it had left in its treasury from the big contributions to the McKinley fund, ami fear* are expressed on

the part of republicans from other states, who had hoped to finger some of that surplus in the congressional campaign next year, that it will all lie spent in Ohio this year, and some of them do not Tiesitate to •ay that Hanua ought to use his own money in his efforts to buy his return to the Senate Boss Hanna is also making the government of the I’nited States assist him to the extent of many thousands of dollars, by carrying through the mails free, under congressional frank, a bulky volume, printed at the government printing office m the form of the Congressional Record, and containing speeches and compilations from public documents.. This volume, as it fir>t appeared, contained extracts from newspapers and was therefore not frunkable. The revised edition, uow being sent out, has left1 out the newspaper extracts. A new republu.au candidate fi r Senator! Gorman's seat has added to republican confusion in Maryland, and to the growing belief m the certainty that the legislature will be carried by the democrats. Postmaster General Gary is the new candidate, although the announcement of his candidacy was prematurely made. He has got the senatorial itch very bad, and had hopped by the aid of postmasters and other followers to have had a thoroughly organized machine in every county of the state before allowing it to become public that he was a candidate, but somebody leaked. He refans now to confirm, deny or in any way discuss the matter. He probably wants to find out “where be is at* before committing himself.

Although Attorne? Ueneral McKenna «u indignantly emphatic iu,declaring that be did not intend to oo&sult with Mr. McKinley about the opinion he is to give as to the proper construction to be placed upon the clause of the tariff imposing disrrim-1 inatiug duties, he did that very thing. ; And he did not eve^ have the satisfaction { of waiting until Mr. McKiuley cauie back to Washington to conduit with him, but j •a* ordered up to Somerset, Pennsylvania, t where Mr. McKinley was to talk the matter . over. The opiuion is still held back, and > it will be discussed at the cabinet meeting j which Mr. McKiuley has called. It isi probable also that the cabinet will discuss j the Terbal report made by Consul Generalj Fits Lee. who is in Washington, on Cuban ; affairs. It is understood that after this! cabinet meeting Mr. McKinley will go away J again t*' remain a couple of weeks. In the opinion of the silver men. now in i Washington, the action oi the bank of1. Bubal in deckling to hold one-fifth of i its reserve in silver, will not prove any , direct benefit to silver, indirectly by in- j creasing public interest in Europe in the | principle of bimetallism. They think that j the action on the (art of the bank of England was taken more to ooociiiate the growiug silver sentiment in Great Britain than as a result of the visit of the bimetallic j commission to England and its conferences I with representative* of the government of * Great Uritiau. Some of the silver men regard the whole business as nothing morn ( than a trick oh the part of the gold standard finanaciers of England to make the stiver men there and over here believe that they an* gradually coming around to bimetallism of their owu aoconl, in preference to watting until they are compelled to do so. These gentlemen are firmly of the j opinion that England will never willingly adopt bimetallism, and that the only*way to get her to do so is to fores it, and the j aray to force it is for the United States to adapt bimetallism independently or in coo

junction with ns many European government* as may desire to join the move. ■ law LCCV E. HOCGATT. A Pettnberf U4y Attaint Prewi* ntact in the IJtttarr Verii. Mis* Lucy Hoggatt of this place, who has attained much prominence in the literary world during the past few months, has been receiving deserved notice through the newspapers of Indiana. The following appeared in Sunday’s Vincennes Commercial: In a life so short as Miss Lucy E. Hoggatt’e of Petersburg, there tore naturally few details to give to the public. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Hoggatt, her father being one of the most prominent and suooeesful farmers of Pike county. She was born and brought up on a farm, is a great admirer of nature, and an intense hater of all shams and artificial creations. She is greatly admired for her sunny disposition and sympathetic nature. Miss Hoggatt is of medium height, with oval face, large, expressive eyes, golden hair, a mouth denoting deteriuinatien, a perfect chin, a beautiful complexiou and rounded form, a creature of beauty, grace and symmetry. She is a member of the leadiug literary societies of Indiana, Illinois and Ohio, and is unanimously voted one of the most entertaining writers iu the societies. She also contributes articles to many of the leading papers. She is quiet and unassuming in her manner, never impressing others with her superiority. She is kind to the poor and aged, a member of the Presbyteriau church, lives a pure Christian life and seems happiest when she is the means of making others happy. In church work, while she does not care | to make herself a conspicuous leader, she is ever ready to lend a helping hand, aud is indefatigable in accomplishing what site essays to do. Her taste, her judgmeut and skill is ever deferred to as one competent to advise. She is entirely unselfish and often ignores her own suffering aud desire to bring happiness to those about her. i With her friends she is a most lovable and admirable youi g lady and with her family she is their idol.
