Tlipro is but one expression of sentiment ns to the outcome of the Senntorinl fight in Ohio —satisfaction nt the result which hns returu-

eu Mr. Hanna to the Senate. The will of an overwhelming majority of the Ohio Republicans finally prevailed and simple justice was done, Mr. Hanna is a strong mat), an able man, and he has fairly won the hiTnor which was o*t last accorded him. He was endorsed almost unanimously by the Imitate. Nearly every Republican county convention endorsed him, the State convention at Toledo endorsed him, and he was thereby made as much the Republican candidate for Senator as though the election had been by popular vote. The attempt to defeat him was an act which it is difficult to justify from k i any standpoint.

It will now be in order for Mr. Bryan, of Mexico, to explain how it is that 1897 proved to be one of the best business years in the United States witnessed by the present generation. The explanation from Mr. Bryan would be especially fitting in. view of his statements during the last campaign-to-the effect that free coinage was the only means by which this country could hope or expect to attain any degree of prosperity. It may be that Mr. Bryan yet fails to see anything but signs of “temporary,” prosperity, but as he has not said anything on this subject for a couple of months, it is to be presumed that he admits what the rest of the United States has gladly proclaimed. Mr. Bryan might obtain some assistance from Dunn’s Review, a generally accepted authority, which, among a host of figures indicating prosperity in various branches, shows that in failures 1897 was not only the best year since 1892, but on the whole the best, ever definitely known.

However just and fair the present state legislative apportionment may be, and generally speaking we believe it to be the -best and fairest ever adopted in recent years, it certainly does not hit Jasper county Republicans pi a favorable spot. . For a representative ye are taken from our old associate, Newton county, and made Vi sort of tail to Lake county, which has ono n prcHeutative'eatire. and -another in company with Jasper county. The senatorial arrangement is no more satisfactory. We are again put partly among strangers, the new senatorial district being Newton. Jasper and White. This arrangement will not be so bad. ultimately, if left to stand, but for the present, while the district is naturally very strongly Republican, yet in the next legislature, we shall he represented by a Democratic hold-over senator, whom neither Newton nor Jasper had any share in electing. We refer to Thomas W. O'Connor, of White comity, who was chosen a senator at tho last election by GarrolJ. Pulaski and White counties

Of the various methods of investment by the Government of the postal savings so be-necumulat-ed through the postal banks which Postmaster-General Gary proposes to Congress to establish, that suggested by General Roy Stone, acting president of the Good Roads League of America, seems to be one of tho most feasible and likely to bring the greatest benefit to the Government and the people. Gen.

Stone favors the purchase by the Government with the postal savings of county bonds to run for a long period of years, the proceeds to be utilized in the building yf reads in the rural districts. The bad roads of. ninny sections of the | country, and their almost impassable condition during part of the year, is a notorious fact, and if Gen. Stone's proposition can be carried into effect, it would seem to be one of the greatest advance ! steps taken by the Government for j some time, Ids proposition there would be no tax whatever on the people for tho construction of the new roads, as the money which now goes to annual repairs could be used for paying the interest on the bonds. Gen. Gary has the subject of postal savings bank well in hand, and is liable to be called

on at any time by the Congressional committee having charge of the. for his statement in support of his proposed measure.

We presume that all of our neighboring newspapers are in receipt of circulars from ono Arthur Y. Hubbel!, of Tottenville, N. Y., putting up a great roar against the proposed Loud postal bill. We have no faith in this Hubbell and think he has behind him some such parties as Mouro & Co., who have got enormously wealthy by reprinting, cheap and nasty foreign novels and sending them through the mails, practically free of postage, as 2nd class or periodical matter. No more are we favorably impressed with the circulars on

the same subject from Street i& Smith, of New York, who practically are trying to bribe country publishers by offering them a lot of books, like those above alluded to if they will publish certain matter agaiusUtha. bill, which they send otit. It is this .kind of cattle like Mouro and Street & Smith, and publishers of advertising sheets like “Comfort” which are sent forever for a quarter to those fools enough to pay, and for nothing to any whose addresses are secured thatthe Loud bill is directed. We think it is a good bill, barring perhaps a few necessary changes, and are more than ever disposed to think so when we find such people as Street & Smith working against it. The claim made by the Tottenville humbug that the Loud bill is designed to recoup the government at publishers’ expense, for the frauds of the railroads is the merest bosh. Those reports about the great railroad mail frauds, were proven to be mere sensational rumors, immediately after they were first circulated.
