It must be admitted that Mr. Hanna starts well at St. Louis. His arrival there mething of a test of the man. There always a temptation in a rousing recep- fion. When the crowd cheers, and surges around a hero of the hour; when self-seek- ers throng his ante-room, and alert inter- Viewers sharpen their pencils and move on him by platoons; if he has the right kind of a head it is time for him to keep it level en his shoulders. Mr. Hanna seems to have that kind of a head, and to be making that kind of use of it. His first words at St. Louls were not only those of conservatism but of caution. They were probably a surprise to some people. MeKinley enthusiasm was high all over the town. The wonderful showing of the Ohio candidate in the primaries was the one theme, and those who had contributed to it in a local way here and there were full of happiness and contidenc s the situa- appeared to them, the national conven- was to be simply a ratification meet- and the result in November a ratifica- tien that. They were unable to make anything else out of it, and so gave them- selves up without reserve to a contempla- tion of the good things they saw before them. But Mr. Hanna, upon his arrival on the scene, did not join in this jubilation. He had been expected to lead it. He sounded, instead, the note of caution. Much had von, but very much more remained won. The convention was McKin- but that would be but the beginning. mpaign before the people was to fol- that certain to be exciting. ut prove to be very difficult for the election of the ticket utmost exertions of the That must not be assumed by any- but. on the contrary, the platform be written and the second man for ticket selected as if the race was to be re the the one of the closest. it is not difficult to conceive how this Sounded in the ears of the enthusiasts, who hal assumed everything, and given them- Selves up to the conviction that it was but a matter of months when they would in- herit the earth and the fullness thereof. ‘The charging column in full pursuit of the enemy hears the bugle call to turn back With no more surprise or regret. But the note has been heeded, and ail the ne shows that Mr. Hanna's adjuration, that the »st care be bestowed upon the plat- nd the Vice Pre: ing attention seems every reason to believe that . is right. These are the days of urprises. ‘The country est for full four the de ts have i biicans 1 nomination, nd a slate In that tim 1 ones, of ur are making for ment of disaf- republicans, reasonably convey the "r that Mr. Fianna sees ahead. Mr. Hlanna as a leader has, of course, just started. His read is long and difficult.

It is astonishing that the educational influences of two such famous institutions Yale and Harvard should prove insufficient to restrain the tendencies toward lawle of our res} ess.

In commenting upon the almost certain nominttion of McKinley by the St. Louis convention the New York Herald takes occasion to congratulate the country that Benjamin Harrison does not appear to have any chance. The Herald's dislike to Gen. Harrison is based on several grounds; it thinks he has “toc many fantastic ideas protection, about currency, besides Was quiet, consequential and general- purely !maginative thoughts with reference to the great American eagle.” The prin- cipal objection to the ex-President as a candidate has to do mainly with the eagle end of the controversy; on which topic the Herald is, of course, as thoroughly Ameri- can as the London Standard. Hear what it says about Indiana’s favorite son: “He considers that our eagle has only to flap its wings, look at the sun at midday, and all the rest of the world will bow their beads in holy terror. Some fifty years ago at the seige of one of their towns the Chi- ese, painted like dragons and turning somersaults, charged a British regiment of foot. The regiment did not fire upon those poor unfortunate individuals, but simply collared them and made them prisoners. And so it will be with us Americans if we ge on with this Bombastes Furioso of one day wanting to fight England and the next day spoiling for a fight with Spain. For if Harrison shoild by any chance be nomi- rated by the republican convention he would be sure to Jo something of this sort. In the end the great representative of the great west would want to crush and de- stroy all Europe and us poor eastern peo- ple in the bargain.” It is not to be presumed that any one who is conversant with the political situa- tion imagines for one moment that the convention will attempt to nominate Har- rison, but whether it does or does not the Herald's assault is unjustified. ~The most commendable feature of the Harrison ad- ministration was its Americanism; not the blatant exaggeration of patriotism some- times placed on exhibition, but a policy that pleased every true citizen of the United States without regard to party. ++. Muca ts being said and more could be said about the law's discriménation in favor of cats, to which attention was directed in The Star yesterday. Just now Washington is suffering from en overdose of cats— predatory, conscienceless, noisy cats—and the number is not likely to decrease dur- ing the summer months unless suffering individuals proceed to summarily enforce home-made laws. Hurdreds of cats—to state the case conservatively—are turned loose every summer to rustle for them- selves while their owners are away enjoy- ing the vacation season. In other cities the Humane Societies have done well by providing the machinery necessary for the painless execution cf the cat surplus. —+<« --____. Early-closing pays. It is no longer an ex- periment. The clerks who are permitted to leave their places of employment in good season to take car rides or. bicytle rides into the suburbs or to enjoy the boating and fishing facilities offered by the Poto- mae are much more effective in business than are those who throvgh compulsion remain many unnecessary hours at desks or behind counters.
