The Perfidy at Colambes. The betrayal of their party by those republican members of the Ohio legisla- ture who have helped the democrats to organize both branches of that body is in every way a startling performance, and otscures completely all questions purely Personal connected with the matter. That there are republican leaders in the state who would fill the office of United States Senator quite as well as Mr. Hanna has dene is easily conceded. It is not con- tended, even by Mr. Hanna’s most ardent supporters, that, in point of ability or per- sonal desserts, he is the only pebble on the beac But that, as his party's nom- iuee, accepted as such at the hands of a State convention and canvassed for as such before the people, he is the oniy man who now has =n honorable claim on the men €lected as republicans to the legislature, cannot be disputed except upon lines of compromising trivialitics. Reasoniig upon well accepted standards of good faith, in what partieular does the pesition of the republican members of the Obio legislature with respect to Mr. Han- a's senatorial candidacy differ from that of electors chosen by a majority of the pev- ple to vote for President and Vice Presi- dent of the United States? A national ticket is nominated by a nattonal con- vention. and by that aetion a party is committed. sent the party pecple are the natioral convention. They are With no individual choice in the premises whatever. What would be said of an elector who after being chosen on one ket should go into the college of the cp- Electors selected to repre- for the suffrages of the instructed as to their duty by left pesition help to organize that body for the success of the opposition ticket? What attention would be paid to any excuscs he might offer predicated upon a com- plaint that personally he did not like his Party's candidates for President and Vi President? Néng. of course. He would, Promptly and justly, be denounced as a traitor. Even the party which had used him could not defend him, and in the case of the presidency such perfidy would not be permitted to succeed. The republican members legislature stand formally instructed to Yote for Mr. Hanna for Senator. They are not permitted by the obligation of their election any individual choice in the mat- ter. Personal ill-will or revenge will ex- cuse nething they may do in violation of their instructions. They are not at liberty to go behind the returns. The Toledo convention may or it may not have acted wisely. It nominated Mr. Bushnell for governor and Mr. Hanna for Senator. The people ratified both nominations at the poll and Mr Bushnell is preparing te enter upon the term for which he was then elected This violation of instructions strikes at the very root of party government and majority responsibility. Had John R. Mc- Lean been nominated for Senator by the democratic convention, with the resuit of securing a democratic majority of the leg- islsture, he would have been entitled to election, just as Mr. Hanna now is from the republican major He has his ene- mies in his party, as Mr. Hanna has in his but in the circumstances suggested they Would not have been honcrably at liberty to strike at him through any promptings of personal opposition. If the perfidy at Columbus succeeds, Mr. Hanna's personal less will be small in comparison with that of the Ohio which faith in the binding power of party instructions will sustain. ——_~r+o The Cuban Reliet Fund. to the President's appeal tor funds for ihe relief of the suffering Cubans ® being received too slowly when the grave need of the hour is considered. There is ing necessity for food and clothing, S well 4x for medicines and other aids for the sick, unless thousands of human beings are to die from neglect at the very doors of this nation The sums received thus far by tt ate Department as a result of the Pp pation are generous enough in pro- portion to their givers, but there are not enough givers. By this time there should have a hundred times as many names on the and an equal difference in the sum available for the relief work. It is probably true that the appeal has come at # time when the people are sorely pressed for money in their private affairs. The end of the year not only brings the burdens of holiday purchases, but it brings as well annual accounts that demand settlement and it is mere than likely that if the re- quest tor donations had come a little earlier there would have been a more liberal re- spense. It may be that in the course of a weeks the citizens will feel a but it is to be there is od for help and that the miseral of Cube sre dying daily lack of food and car he obligation relp starving, suffering people is lin its nature, but it ext s and “© promptly ns of this country.

It is a tribute to some man’s talents as an engraver and imitator that the excel- lence of a newly discovered counterfeit ‘ause the withdrawai of $26,000,000 worth of This counterfeit, just ed, is said to he so nearly perfect py of the genuine $100 bill that even the expert meney handiers are puzzled, the differences appeanng only when the note is examined through a strong magni- fying glass. The color of the seal is a trifle pale and the loops in the numberings are somewhat different from the genuine. Indeed nute are the discrepancies that the officials in their warning can give orly the broadest possible suggestions. Probably the safe plan will be to follow the recommendation of the Treasury authori- tles, who advise every person not expert in the examination and scrutiny of paner money to refuse to accept any $106 silver certificate of the issue now under suspicion. Steps are being taken to retire this issue in consequence of the fraud that has just been discovered and to replace it. with another of an entirely different design. Fortunate it is that this counterfeit has been revealed apparently so early in its career. There is at present, of course, no way to determine how much of this false money has been put in circu- should be such as to from circulation tificates. lation, and so it is uncertain whether ; the maker of the plates has profited much or little from nis laborious enterprise. It seems strange that men with so much genius for clever work with the zrav would engage in the precarious and danger- ous occupation of counterfeiting when there is at all times a demand for the legitimate services for workmen of their capacity. At the same time, there is great allure- ment in the possibility that the counter- feit may succeed to the extent of produc- ing a profit of thousands of dollars. Where the false money is made from plates, as this is, the possibilities for securing a large stake are, of course, much greater than where the counterfeiter laboriously copies the genuine money by hand, as has often been done, spending weeks on a single bill. It 1s evident from the per- fection of this new imitation of the gov- «rnment’s promise to pay that the Treas- ury is menaced by an exceptionally clever band of workmen, and unless the vresent embarrassing experience is to be soon re- peated it will be necessary that the per- petrators of this fraud be captured or frightened from further efforts. —__ + ee -___ A Carlist Organ Out of Tune. The Carlists of Spain are strongly anti- American in their present attitude. This fs natural, in consideration of the fact that the pretender to the throne is an ultra royalist or nothing. His ambitions are based upon the hope that Spain will sur- vive the present pressure upon her as a monarchy and that he will succeed eventu> ally to the vestige of royalty that remains. This policy necessitates a strong onslaught on America, against Cuba, autonomy, con- ciliation and every thing else that smacks of any bending from the high state of mon- archism. There !s at present published tn Paris a weekly broadside under the title “Correspondance Espagnole ‘Alvaro’ ” that exploits the cause of the Carlists in, so far as the edition that reaches these shores is concerned, very amusing English. It is probably more literary in the French or Spanish in which it normally appears, but the translator of its staff sorely needs training in English. This country can stand the linguistic atrocities that the broadside commits, but there is fear that wrath will rise against the Carlists among the citizens of the United States when they encounter the following statement: “M. Dupuy de Lome the Plenipotentiary s nat Washington has got an Constitution translated in- nglish and made an ample distribution merican papers. This step of h Minister could not fail to create the impression that the Constitution was granted rather to please the Yankees than the Cubans themselves. The spelling of the President's name “Mac Kinley” in another paragraph in the broud- side is to be tolerated, but never the use to of it to the the Spani. of the name of this continent with a lit- tle “ “Correspondance Espangole ‘Alvaro’ ” contains in its latest received issue the fol- lowing gem of thought, reproduced ver- batim, that 1s calculated to arouse keen in- terest among the royalists and the Cubans: “The Spanish Press is busily discussing about the health of Senor Si Prime Minister of the Regenc z labour unde a catarrhous indisposition.

Some people, neverthe- ase understood te say that the m:nis- jal catarrh is rather due to an ill wind, which bodes nobody good, and hav blown from the Potomac shores to the Puerta del Sol. El Correo has ou the subject a curions remark. It says that since a few years, M. Sagasta is known to be visited by a chronic disease. The symptoms of the illness are apparent only when M. Sagasta has got ac- cess to power and that, when a grave ques- tion happens to rise on the politica! horizon. As soon as every thing is settled in due order, Sagasta’s illness vanis out, his sore throat is cured and he can again make a speech. It is for us to say: “what an interest can he hare to labour under a Ca- tarrh.”” —_——__seo—_—_——_ The Corcoran Gallery. The statistics of the Corcoran Gallery of Art for 1807 show a gratifying increase in the number of visitors during that period, as compared with previous years, the whole number for the year just closed being 150,40, against 90,102 in 1 In the num- pay visitors the ase is still the gain there being nearly 100 nt. In other words, the number for was 13,664, whilé 1896 it reached 6.910. Whether these increases are to a growing interest in art in the mind of the public or to the fact that the new gallery is more attractive than the old building, and that its contents are shown to much better advantage than formerly, is not easy to determine. It is likely, how- ever, that both causes were factors in the problem. Still another important element in the case will be found in the circum- stance that during 1897 the gallery was open to the public on Sundays the time in its history. This gave to a large percentage of our population an opportuni- ty which was never before afforded it to enjoy the elevating and refining influences of the fine arts. Considered from every point the action of the trustees in thus wid- ening the purposes of the institution must be regarded as one of the best acts ever performed in connection with its manage- ment. iner ber of greater, per ¢ SOT ———___~> e = —____ It fs rather unfortunate for China, thai the phases of European civilization most mspicuously brought to its attention are not calculated to impress themselves favor- ably. —> e = —____ Ex-Mayor Strong retires with the grace that is possible only to a gentleman who feels that he can rest on his layrels and his -leaves 5 te: ——-- 202 neral Weyler seems to be a great deal effectual in frighte Spaniards than he is in frightening Cubans. —_—__ + += ____ After what Mr. Bryan has been through himscif he finds a bull fight a comparative- ly tame procedure. —__ + ee —___ y New Year” will turn out to n usual for somebody in Ohio, —— Has Russia Cornered Great Britain? The Novosti, a newspaper published at St. Petersburg, has given Great Britain a pointed hint to kep hands off in China. No other interpretation than that it Is a threat can be given to the publication in that jJqurnal of the following lines: “Any serious conflict betwen England and another power would be certain to excite rebellion among Great Kritain’s Asiatic sub- jects. The only course open to Great Brit- ain is fully to maintain the status quo in Asia and to preserve friendly relations with Russia.” Russia’s influence over those “Asiatic subjects” of Great Britain is well under- stood. Russia. dominates the Sultan of Turkey and the Ameer of Afghanistan. These two potentates wield a strong in- fiuence over the tribesmen and hillmen of northern India and indeed it is only a matter for conjecture as to how far the power of their suggestion reaches all parts of that country. The recently incited rebellion that is not yet entirely subdued has been traced by many observers to the doors of these two rulers and ft has been suggested more than once from highly au- thoritative sources that Russia’s hand in the game was all but platnly visible. Just now It is interesting to reflect how far Rus- sia may have been concerned in this upris- ing among the Afridis and other tribes of warlike bordermen. Russia’s plans are usually laid far ahead with wonderful sa- gacity and ft is within the range of reason that she may have deliberately proceeded te suggest, through the sultan and ameer, the stirring up of strife to give Great Brit- ain an intimation of her power on the bor- derlaud, in order to give greater signifi- s cance tod a suggestion of a revolt among the “Asiatic subjects” later when the time came to make the advance upon China. It ‘Xs plainly to be seen that Russia has Great Britain at a disadvantage in this case, and the Novosti is merely giving expression to a state of facts the force of which is not readily to be denied. —_-++—___ Ohio politicians not only get as far as possible from harmony, but insist on keep- ing both feet on the loud pedal. —_--____ SHOOTING STARS.

From the Baltimore Sun. One of the me recently in this s mont Pulp and f£ an indictinent interesting cases tried te was that of the Pie per Mill Company upon for polluting the water of the Potomac, from which the town of Cum- berland draws its supply. The trial cnded on Saturday with a verdict of guilty as indicted. The matter is a serious one for the people of Cumberland. It is a town of fiftesn o1 twenty thousand people and with varied and important industries. The Potomac river seems to be the only source for a water supply which they can reach. There is no other stream of sufficient volume any- where within access, and there is a singular scarceness of springs in the surrounding mountains. In searching for natural gas deep artesian wells have been bored with- out finding any adequate quantity of water for public purpose: It was contended by the counsel for the state at the trial t the river is the only source of supply, and that it is essential to the very existence of the town to keep the river pure. It remains to be en Whether this n be done. There are other reasons why the Potomac should be preserved from pollution.

A generation after the close of the war the United States is paying more than a hurdred and forty million dollars a year to mere than three-quarters of a million pen- sicrers, with claims of nearly two hundred thcusand applicants awaiting adjudication. Is that unprecedented pension list a roll of honor, or is it largely vitiated by fraud? Is it made up entirely of worihies, who have a just claim to the bounty of the gov- ernment, or does it hear the names of tho sands who have ro such claim, and whose appearance in the role of public benefi ries is an imposition and a swindle? this very pertinent query public pension list may light. To such publication no honest, deserving persioner can have any reason’ to object. To that class the pension list is a roll of honor and a source of pride. And to that class publication is due, if necessary to lead to the purification of the list. Moreover, a pension roll is in the nature of a public record, which the people have a right to see and Know. By all means let it be made public.
