I'uii-lisiii- no THE nation is a unit in mourning tlio death of Senator Mark Hanna. Irrespective of party afllllation the citizenship of the country feels that ono of the greatest of Its members has boon taken away. From every hamlet and cvevy home ore heard words of regret that his brainy man, who, up to a very short time since, apparently had years of usefulness ahead of him should In so short a time ho taken from the scat of prominence ho occupied ard laid lew among the countless millions that go to make up the great Democracy founded by Death. Allhcimh not a man entirely popular, ho had many warm friends who loved him and respected him, and as for the balance, those who did not stand cloro by Ills side looked upon him as ore who had a lcvo for his country" and ns such believed ho was a person who cnil.l ho trusted to formulate and carry into effect policies for its regulation and government. He was a living example of the business man in politics, and was ono of tho pioneers in tho movement, to conduct politics on a business basis. He was a thorough partisan, und an indefatigable worker for Ills party. Prior to the timo President McKinley was nominated for his first term tho name of llanra was scarcely known outside of Cleveland and tho state of Ohio. But after McKinleys nomination had been brought about through tho efforts of Senator Hanna, his titlo became a household word throughout America. Ho was selected as the chairman of tho Republican national committee, ami tlio manner in which lie conducted tho campaign was such as to command the ndmirat'en cf. not only tho members of Ills own party, hut of his opponents, for had it not been for his keen methods, Bryan would have been elected president of tho United States of America. It was Hanna who did the planning and Hanna who enforced tho mandates of tho committee. It was Hanna who' conceived the effective idea of having McKinley remain at home at Canton and receive delegations of voters, while Bryan traveled all over the country. It was Hanna who hoodwinked James K. Jones with the idea that tho Democracy stood a good show of carrying Ohio and caused the Democratic chairman to waste sinews of war which should have been spent in other states In that same Ohio, where there was no chance whatever of winning. In his passing tho Republican party loses one of its shrewdest men, if not Jts very shrewdest. It will he a long stand why the fight is being made by bethe Tribune on Jackson. It is not cause he is not competent, or because he is a Democrat, or because of his reason reputation, but simply for the that he has dared fight the Kearns crowd, and Perry Heath.

It would seem that common decency ought to teach a certain grade of writers that it would be well to wait a short time after the demise of men before beginning to speculate ns to their successors.

I et the body be IMd to rest, lenet, ere speculation begins as to the identity of the person who will fill his official shoes. m ON the day Senator Hanna died, our own Thomas Kearns is reported as bpvin? made a soul stirring speech before the committee on pensions, which of course holds its sessions at Washington, while his eulogy of Hanna come3 to us under a New York date. The account of his remarks was gov-pap- er it was taken. The senator Is getting so ubiquitous that he is in dan- ger of becoming very much like the Irishmans flea. A man who can address a committee in Washington and deliver an eulogy on a senator in New York at about the same 4time is a hustler.

SORENSON, independent candidate for senator down In Nebraska, promises, among other things, to advocate that all postmasters be postmistresses, because he believes that women are the proper persons to take care of the males. |
