The Columbus (Ga ), lodger say* that dnsens of wacosis loarled with hay are to be seen on the street* of that city every day. The hay sella reodUy, and Is a aource of considerable revenue to the termers of the section.

There la. of course, a great deal of spec u’atlon as to why Mr llay does not re turn to Wa-hlugtott. Aa already stated It Is pretty generally believed that lie has not conducted the foretell affairs of the governin'at In a manner satisfactory to •he President. This belief may not. of c.'Urve, It* well founded, hut It Is the only r asotiatdc explanation of the action of the H* retarv in remaining away from bis duties at a lime when the office of which he Is th official head t* playing * Important part In the affairs of tha wo. Id The supposition I* that the policy of the Mate d-partin'nt In Chines* (natters was too closely patterned after that of Oroat Britain. Before Mr. Hay went to his New Hampshire estate on the plea that he was ill and Heeded rt. the newspapers sere saying that he wos so British In his sympathies and sen' 1 merits that It was impossible for him to tfo anything that he thought would not have the approval of his British frier <ts New spa per talk of that k;nd wa doing the Republican party a good deal of harm. As much as the Ataeri<xit>- admire ar.d rcr-p'Ot the British people they are no! divosed to play the second fiddle to them They ara willing to admit all that Is calmed for the British as long as the aim l*>n Is accompanied with the understanding that America leads the way and Great Britain follows. It is probably true that Mr. Hay became pretty thoroughly saturated with British Ideas and sentiments while he represented this country at the Court of Ht James. Since hi* return he has not got fully Americanised again No doubt he tried lo bay* a distinct American policy when ho was placed at the head of the state de part ment, hot he could not hide hi* real feelings from the pubic, and many mer ciless cartoons were published—cartoons that were galling to the prido of the American people and must have caused the President some ; leepless nights. There Is no tntlm.'tton that Mr Hay Is to leave the cabinet. He ha* done, some good we k In the state department Per haps It Is the plan of the President to have him remain In the cool climate of New Hampshire until the campaign is so far advanced that there will be but little chance for his British leanings. If they should be delected, to have a damaging • fleet on the prospects of the Republican party for success. But Mr. Hay cannot be having a very happy time under such circumstance*.

It Is,now Intimat'd that he, nnd he stone, has the power to settle speedltv the strike of the coal miners. He seems to have a Anger In every great industrial enterprise, und to have some sort ot in terest In every big railroad system of Ute country.

In accordance with Mr. Mimin'* Wish. If what Is stated In the newspapers kt correct, Mr. Morgan called a meeting of the preshfatlt) of tho cool road* at ht* office In New York, and in augurated proceedings looking to the set tlement of the strike. The coal rail roads, according to t’renldent Mitchell, the head of the United Mine Workers, who are the leaders of the strike, are more to blame for tho things of which tho miners complafet than the coal mine owners- and operators. f"slr. Morgan must be a busy man.

While we are talking about trusts, would It not be well to Inquire whether, through the accumulation of vust amounts of wealth In u few hands, one or two or three men are not getting more power than 1* good for the masses of the peo ple?

Mc- Carren. the New York Times publishes a statement that Senator Hanna bos ralsted a corruption fund of between S.OOU.OOC snd pn.th'.klO. The eenator said that he had the names of the corporations which Mr. Hanna had “held up." but that he would not give them at this time, because he would violate a pledge by doing so. According lo Rotator McCarren. It Is ihe intention of the Republicans to lit erally buy the presidency. It Is not their purpose to use the money | n New York City, but In the rural eountles of New York state, and in Indiana. Illinois and other doubtful stales. There is no doubt that the Republicans have plenty of money. They had all the money they wanted |n 18. It |g assert ed by Senator McCarren that the Republi can lenders have promised that there shall bo no legislation during the next four years hostile to trusts if the Republican purly Is successful, and that there shall he no reduction In the tariff Assuming that the statement which Senator McCar ren makes Is true, tt Is a question how long the people will stand such wholesale Corruption In politics. It Is probable that the Democrats would uee more money also If they had It. They have not got It. and there Is no probabil ity of their getting R. Home of the Mary hind lea-ier* of the Democratic party are romplalnmg that the Democrats are like ly to lose that s:ate because of the lack of mone> with which to hunt up Demo crat* and get them to register. The Re lat hi leans are seeing to It that the ntem. hers of their party or* registered. The truth |s that the Democrat* have not money enough to eend out speeches and other campaign material. It is safe t© say that the great majority of their speakers are not getting a cent for their services. 1# Is certain that if Mr. McKin ley should be elected he would owe his success largely to the free use of money AN UNIItpPf |,OT OF It 111 FATOtI a. The directors of the Trailers* Fire In surance Company of New York are fnr from being in a happy frame of mind. They Include a doxen of more of the most prominent men tn the ffnanct*! and so cial life of the metropolis. Among them are two of the Gould brothers, Senator De|n w, John Jacob Aster, ex-Beerotary of the Navy BonJ. F. Tracey, ex-Seoator Warner Miller, and other men of Ihut class. They certified that tho capital of the comptny was unimpaired and that there was a surplus ot shout U.©> In bank As a matter of fact the capital had disappear ed and ihe surplus was not to be found when wanted. The law Is quite severe, holding everybody responst be who signs a fradulent state ment by which the public Is de ceived." It terms that many policies are outstanding, about all of which were tak en chit on the strength of the statement published over the signatures of the ex ceptionally strong board of directors. Of course every one of the directors now says that he knows nothing about the matter—that he signed the statement be rause the accountant* who have rhnrge of the company's affairs slated to the board that tl was correct. The fad Is probably that not a single one of the directors ever took the trouble to Inquire Into the affairs of the company. They permitted themselves doubtless to be elected directors of the concern either to oblige friends or to get the compensation provided for attendance at directors’ meetings- They must hove been aware, of course, that thetr names were a big advertise tuna for the company. They do not seem to have bothered themselves, however, as to whether or not the public was being misled. They ought not to be excused because of their prominence. It Is satd not to be the Intention of the district attorney to pass unnoticed their offense. The mailer Is to be thoroughly Investigated. Prosevutlon of the directors will doubtless have a good effect. It will teach other directors that If they accept places of responsibility they must be faithful In the discharge of Ihelr duties. They cannot have the honors and emoluments and then. wbn trouble comes from neglect of duty. Head Ignorance. Yes, the weather Is unseasonably warm. But then there are mitigating ctr urn stances. The price of coal is soaring sky ward. and the end ot the strike Is aoi yet in sight.

Just where the adveettner* expect to get their negro laborers la a question. Commenting on the appearance of the advert toomonts Ihs Philadelphia Record says: "No order for the Importation of negro miners from Iho Southern atates to work In the Pennsyl vania mine* In place of the striker* should be given without a previous Investigation Into ihe character of tl* negroes. The at tempt of the min* owners at Vlrden. 111., two years ago, to Import Alabama miners led to bloodshed and to an Inquiry which Induced the Governor of Illinois to pro hllill Ihe bringing of Southern negroes In to that state It was found that In tha neighborhood of Birmingham <tnl at other coal center* In the South there were many ex-convtcts who had served In the stats mines a* miners under compulsion. In cluded In their numbers were many of the dangerous and turbulent criminal blacks of the South, of whom the Ala bama communities were glad to tic ri I on any terms " The Record will hardly flnd tenable the position that the reason the blacks were not permitted to wotk at Vlrdea and elsewhere In Illinois ww* be cause there were ex-convtrte among thoir number*. The fact was, no doubt, that they were not wanted In the Vlrden mines, and the Governor prohibited them from entering the state, because they were ne groes; because their skins were black, and they wve coming into competition with the labor of white men Magistrate Elsehbrown of Philadelphia, silting recently In the trial of a rnrtn ac cused of ballot box frauds, Indignantly exclaimed "The pollution of the ballot is worse than (reason, and If I had the making of the laws I would hang every Individual found guilty of that Infamous time Upon tha ballot rest* our homes and institutions.
