Confused Politics in Ohio It is evident that there is very serious political confusion in Ohio and that the McKinley administration is thus threatened at its threshold. The ap- pointment of Senator Sherman to the Cabinet was probably influenced more or less, and possibly wholly, by the ex- pectation of the new President that Chairman Hanna would succeed Sher- man in theSenate. Sherman was wil- ling to accept the Premiership rather than take the chances of a doubtful contest for re-election to another term in the Senate, as the political control of the State, of Ohio is now coniessedly in the hands of Senator Foraker who is reported not wildly in love with either McKinley or Sherman, and if Hanna could have been appointed Sherman’s successor with the general approval of the party, everything would have bern in harmony. Two apparently insuperable obstacles have presented. themselves to the con- summation of this arrangement that has evidently been earnestly desired by McKinley, Sherman and Hanna. The first and chief obstacle is Senator Foraker, who after many ups and downs in Ohio politics, finally finds himself a United States Senator for six years and in command of the party organization. Sherman and McKinley have not been his obedient partisans, and Foraker regards no one as his friend who does not harmonize not only with his methods but with his pur- poses as well. _'He d we not want Sher- man in the Cabinet; as does not want Hanna in the Senate, and Governor Bushnell is his friend and the man whom he has fixed upon to be his asso- ciate in the Senate at the expiration of Sherman’s term. The second obstacle in the way of the appointment of Hanna as Senator to succeed Sherman is presented in Governor Bushnell, who wants the place himself. He knows that if he ap- points Hanna to succeed Sherman in obedience to the wishes of the Presi- dent-elect and Senator Sherman, he would thus endanger his own election by the next Legislature. Ii Hanna were in the Senate, with his energy and skill in politics he would be a very firmidible competitor in a contest with Bushnell to overthrow him, while if Hanna is kept out of the Senate at this time he may be forced into the Cabinet, or otharwise dispmed of and removed from the Senatorial contest of 1899. lie cannot appointhimself to Sherman’s vacancy, and it is now given out, and seems to be generally accepted, that he will appoint Lieutenant Governor Tones,- who would be satisfied with brief Senatorial honors and re ire in favor of Bushnell when the Legisla- An Irish Catholic ”University. LONDON, Fob. S.-—The negotiatiOns be- tween the government and the Roman Catholic bishops of Ireland for the creation of a. Catholic university are on the verge of settlement. The foundation and en- dowment of a university will involve a grant from the imperial treasury of about £1,000,000. The bargain is not finally of— fected, but there is reason to believe that a Catholic university bill will be introduced next session. Attacked by Strikers. HAMBURG, Feb. 8.—-A number of work- men, incensed at the recent collapse of the dockers’ strike, attacked the laborers when they emerged from the docks last evening at Altona and St. Pauli. Many of the la- borers were badly beaten, and three were taken to a hospital. Many arrests were made. South Carolina Legislation. COLUMBIA, S. 0., Feb. 8,—The legisla- ture has killed bills putting telegraph and express companies under the control of the railroad commission, providing for a labor commission, regulating hours of labor on electric roads and several others tending to - bind management of corporations. A Providence Man Missing. PROVIDENCE, Feb. S.—Joseph C. John- son, vaged 60 years, who for nearly a gen- eration was the cashier of the Old Union bank in this city and who since the Wind- ing up of the affairs of that institution has been engaged in the brokerage busi- ness, is missing. Experience is the Only True Test. F. A. Turner, of the State Insurance Of-- fice, Salem, Ore, says: “Out of the scores of cough medicines in the market there is only Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. I make this statement after an experience of twelve 'eurs’ use of this valuable remedy. For coughs and colds it is splendid, but where its work is infallible is with children subject to croup. I keep it in my home at all times.” For sale by E. P. \Veed, Druggist. one I have any confidence in and that is , , THIS ' SPAGE IS GONTRAGTED FOB BY GARDNER & MITGHELL.
