: Special Washington Letter.
If the spirits of the mighty dead take
any cognizance of happenings In this
lower world. General Benjamin Harri
son must be happy In the universal ex
pression of liigh esteem from the peF
pie . of America, -irrespective of party
affiliations. If there is any difference.
Democrats pay him higher tributes
than Republicans. This is remarkable
when we consider the facts that it Is
only eight years since he closed his
presidential term, that he was a
thoroughgoing partisan and had no
squeamishness- whatever - about ex
pressing his opinions' and in having
those opinions placed upon the statute
books in the" form of laws sq. far as in
him lay;" It is generally taken and ac
cepted that one of his ancestors was
one of the regicide judges who sent
Charles I to the block. Whether that
be true, General Harrison, though of
Virginia extraction, was of the stern
Puritan spirit of the' old Crom wellians
and had he lived in the days of the
civil wars in England would have
fought as valiantly under mighty Oli
ver a? he did from 1861 to lS65inder
"Old Pap" Thomas. r X;
There can be no doubt that had he
been one of the judges of Charles
Stuart he would have grimly and con
scientiously voted for his decapitation
and would have always stood ready to
give a reason for "his action. His great
grandfather.' congressman and govern
or of Virginia, "Bluff Ben," as he was
popularly called, was one of the lead
ing patriots of the Revolutionary pe
riod and was the: bosom " friend of
Washington, Jefferson and all tbafrghK
rious band of heroes and sages who
rendered the name of Virginia Immor
tal. '.'Bluff. Ben" was of the stuff out
of which martyrs are made. While the
members of the' glorious Continental
congress of lere signing the great
Declaration he slyly punched little El
bridge Gerry in the ribs and playfully
remarked, "When the day for hanging
comes, I will have one vast advantage
over you my greater weight will
cause me to die the quicker," a grim
Joke surely, but illustrative of the spir
it of the men who made us free.
General Benjamin Harrison.
General William Henry Harrison, son
of "Bluff Ben," rendered bis country
valuable services in congress and in
the field and received the highest hon
ors of the republic. He has not re
ceived from historians his due meed of
praise because the campaign which
landed him in the White House was
the most ludicrous In American annals
and had a tendency to render ridicu
lous ail the prominent actors therein.
John Scott Harrison, son ofWilliam
Henry and father of ex-President- Ben
jamin, served a single term in the na
tional. bouse of representatives and is
a dim, uncertain figure In history.
.It Is simple truth to say that General
Benjamin Harrison, who has just died.
Is the greatest of his illustrious race
and justifies the doctrine of heredity. :
Ridicule is the most powerful weap
on in the mental armory of man, , and
that General' Harrison - not only sur
vived the ridicule of being "the grand
son of .his grandfather' "and "the
grandfather hat" literature and car
toonsnot only ; survived it, but con
stantly grew stronger in public esteem
is proof positive that be was "a man
for n' that." - , - . -
In every situation In which he was
placed he became a greater figure. He
grew while a candidate for the presi-:
dency In 1888. His 98 speeches, de
livered in that campaign, are a splen
did monument .to his x memory and
amply attest his varied learning and
great '.talents. - He grew while in the
White House a feat accomplished by
few who have reached the chief mag
rstracy of the republic. His defeat
In 1892 was attributable chiefly to the
McKinley tariff bill and to the Home
stead riots.' . His reputation for cold
ness and austerity of manneralso had
something to do with the result
He grew continuously while an. ex
president up to the hour , of his death
and really heldfa greater place in pub
lic estimation In March, 1901, than In
March. 18S9. Only two other ex-prcsi-dents
increased" their fame after quit
ting the White House, Thomas Jeffer-,
son and John Quincy Adams, the for
mer by founding the -University of Vir
ginia and the latter by bis 17 years'
service in - the bouse of - representa
tives. General Harrison does not need
the charity contained In the old Latin
dictum. -De mortuis nil nisi bonum."
In bis case the simple truth is his best
eulogy. ' ' " " .
. - General Dlas.
r While this great republic is in mourn
Iqg for General Harrison our sister re
public on the south regards with many
misgivings the falling health of Gen
eral Porfirio Diaz, president of Mexico,
He Is as truly the "father of bis coun
trv" as -Georee .Washington " Is of
this. It is hardly stating the case too
strong to say that General Diaz created
the Mexican republic. Most assuredly
if he did not create it literally, lie has
preserved It and has lifted It to- a high
place among the nations of tne eartn
-Be"ir;o0erof fte Very'- few men In the
entire history of the human race who,
spizlnsr the chief office by main
strength and by revolutionary tnetb,'
ods, have administered it for the bene
fit of the DeoDle. ' True, his has been
the strong grip of the eagle's claw and
ligu's caw, but the Mexican are fa?
I
better off that-they otherwise would
have been but for the rule of General
.' Diaz for a quarter of a century. He
has placed the Institutions of the re.
public on what appears to be a strong
and enduring basis. It really would
be good tbing lf Diaz ooid'uve an-
larly elected president every four
years. It Js no wonder that the Mexi
cans, who have so long leaned on bla
strong arm for protection against riot,
anarchy and revolution and who uader
his regime have for the first time en
joyed the blessings-of a settled gov
ernment, should be filled with appre
hension at the prospect of his early
death. -The same is true of all who
are Interested In the. perpetuity of the
republic. So long as he is at the helm all
men know that peace and stability will
be the order of -things beyond the Rio
Grande. They are not so certain what
will happen among that turbulent peo;
pie when his masterful personality no
longer dominates. There may be others
worthy to carry on his great work.
Let us hope there are. -
Kext!
Senator Marcus A. Hanna possesses
one great virtue be Is nota fooL When
a lot of Cheap John politicians began
to whoop it bp for President McKinley
for a third term, hoping, no doubt.
thereby to gobble a luscious slice of
pie, Senator Hanna at once and with
energy denounced the idiotic gabble
as "stuff and nonsense" and said that
President McKinley is too good a pol
itician to make the mistake of suppos
ing that he could overcome the unwrit
ten' law and succeed himself." On
that proposition at least Senator nan-
na's head Is entirely level. It Is no de
traction from Mr. McKinley to say that
what was good enough, for Washing
ton, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and
Jackson is good enough for him. and
that an honor which the American peo
ple refused to General Grant when the
great captain was fresh from his tri
umphant tour of the world will not be
vouchsafed to any man of this genera
tion. Mr. McKinley is far toa wise to
jeopardize his vast popularity by seek
ing the unattainable. So that matter
may as well be dismissed at once and
for alL ,
But the next question on which Sena
tor Hanna was catechised Is far more
Important, and upon that he was not
so. frank by one-half or ninety-nine-
hundredths. .. That question was, "Who
will be the next Republican nominee
for the presidency?" Perhaps Inherent
and incorrigible modesty prevented the
senator from x blurting out what must
have been In his mind. Had he spoken
unreservedly he would have taken the
reporter's breath away by saying with
out any hedging or "parlez-vousing
"Ecce homor (Behold the man!) It Is
safe to say that such a bold declaration
would have thrilled the bread and but
ter brigade from the humblest private
In the rear rank to the most epauleted
man Jack of them all. Such an an
nouncement would. In my judgment.
have settled the nomination four years
In advance and saved divers aspiring
statesmen a world of worry and an
ocean of sweat.
That's what I would have advised
Senator. Hanna to do, but as be has
never called me to be his legal or polit
ical adviser he will find himself In "a
sea of troubles. Instead of boldly an
nouncing his candidacy he made cer
tain suggestions which will cause Sen
ators Fairbanks, . Beverldge, Spooner
and Lodge to raise their presidential
lightning rods. And there are others.
If that quartet goes Into the fight,-there
is no reason that I wot of why "Uncle
Joe". Cannon. Colonel William Peters
Hepburn, Senator Jonathan Prentiss
Dolllver, Charles E. Littlefield, Gov
ernor Dick Yates, Governor Odell and
a. host of others should not shy their
castors into the ring., . Nor are Teddy,
Senator William P. Frye, Joseph Ben
son Foraker, Julius' Caesar Burroughs
or George Frisble Hoar to be sneezed
at. It hath also been whispered about
that ex-Senator William' Eaton Chan
dler would be a willln Barkis. True,
he received an awful jolt recently," but
Mr. McKinley has been a good Samarl
tan to him and placed him in a soft,
downy berth, with "55,000 per.".
- Sir. Hanna's Chances. "
But, notwithstanding this shining ar
ray of possibilities, had Senator Hanna
seized opportunity by the forelock be
ought not to have experienced any
trouble in knocking the persimmon.
Even after his inopportune balbfulness
has thrown cold water on the enthu
siasm of the bread and butter brigade
his chances are the best. He Is the
logical candidate.. He is no worse than
bis party. In very truth he could not
be. The. thing Is an Impossibility in
nature. He has not whipped the devil
about the stump; that's . alL y Others
spout patriotism and emit cant. Mark
openly made the boys shell but and
placed the ducats where tbey would do
the most good for bis party. He did
the work the dirty work and the otb
ers enjoy the usufruct. Tbey are most
of them tarred with the same stick.
Then why should not be lay aside his
coyness and boldly declare that' he is
entitled to Ihe first place himself., that
be is weary 6f playing the-bumbler
part of Warwick and that the presl
dential .chair "will fit bis anatomy ex
ictly? Some of his friends think so
and are not mealy mouthed about say.
Ing so.
The Fairfield County (O.) Republican
says;
While in Washington attending the inaugural
w wer much impressed with tbs greatness of
Senator Hanna. He has been an important factor
in the first term of William McKinley, and his
wisdom will be mors apparent to the American
people in the second, . Be poeseues the prescience
and wisdom tliat are absolutely necessary in the
management and solution of the momentous ques
tions, of the day. The best citizens of the country
re beginning to regard him as the greatest mm
in the land, next to the president. He is a sa(
and conservative gentleman and would make ss
safe a president as William McElalsy.
When the people come to know him, they will
esteem him as highly aa the president. He is for
the whole people, the masses as well as the classes,
The country has nothing to fear from the brainy,
wise and conanrrativa Benator Marcus A. Hanna..
. If Senator Hanna were not an, Ohio man, hs
would be, without a dou'at, the next p issident of
the United Elates. Tbs candidata nominated for
president in 190 by the BepubUcan party will
not be an Ohio man. If it could be so. It would
be the Hon. Mircu A. Hanna.
. ' 'Cheer For Ohioana.
That puts - Senator Hanna clearly
before the people as a candidate. The
last three entences are simply an ex
hibition of the incurable modesty per
taining to the Ohio man, whether
states man, editor or what not. The
TJonnhliran should cheer up. In the
trpat-worlc of makidg Mark presl- poeo there is nothing eqoal to Chamber-I Try tbm W. U. Thomas will eoatss!.

when his present term expires will

serve and still be within the precedent.
That being the case. Mr. McKinleys
service should not be a bar to Sena
tor Hanna's aspirations.

advertisements scattered over the city
seem exactly alike snd ooe see seems
the exact counterpart of another, yet
closer Inspection will show various
points of difference. In the esse of a
very familiar picture which Is dlsplsy-
ed from one end of the United States
to the other, when It waa first brought
out one man was hired for the sole
purpose of painting that one design.
and to do this he traveled from Maine
to California.
"Not the least of our dlClculties,T
said the advertising man.. "Is finding
places to put our signs. We hire men
who do nothing else but go about snd
obtain permission from owners to put
up billboards on their premises, uso
a vacant wall or decorate a fence o a
roof. It needs great tact to do this.
When there are objections, tbey must
bo oTercome. and after this Is done
the owner often gets the Idea that his

"Why do yon say tramp?" - .
"Oh, the tramps are our worst ene

them down out of sheer wantonness.'
When asked about the price a blank
