II" hav hem assigned to special duty at the navy department. Senator Hanna seems unable (<i open hi9 mouth those days with u:t putting his foot Into it. At Cleveland ho spoke after President Jle Kinley and said : "In puMie atfai: we are all strivin' for t lie sain" ?1 - ject?the advancement of our own interests." Ft was tou;*h on ' 1 ? President that his frier..! Hunt i, should thus give him away as a tec;* elf-seeker. The most notable feature oft! coming Congress will be tie- absence of the biggest Republican. Iteed. Tin? House without hi in will seem ! i k .? Hamlet with the Prince of Dcnmaik omitted. While Mckinley's friends express satisfaction that Rood will I out of the war, no Republican concerned in the welfare and success of the Republican party will deny lit t Reed's retirement is a party loss, it it an important advantage to il.c Democrats. One peculiarity of the IS tors figYing is the fact that they seem to mugle out the oHi 'ers of the enemy i > battle and from the way they slay them they must deputize their sharp hooters for that purpose, Durii the engagements of the last six day< they have killed twenty odd I?riti?-!i officers and woundud twenty-three. Over one thousand inei have b e 1 killed so far. It, is said the li.'ltiwiers needlessly expose themselves to the enemy's tire in their contempt <?f the foe. They have paid dearly for It in more than one battle. In spite of the political embarrassment of such an net, there is littV doubt that the Republicans will be compelled this winter to legislate for Increased silver coinage to prevent a recurrence of the conditi ?r s which have hampered trade this autumn. Republicans fear tii.it th s will be quoted its an admission ili.d there is merit in the silver ir.smv and that to coin more silver before the presidental election v.
