His Boom May Become Prematureiy Grea
and the Sooner Die Out

Chicago, March 23.-Major Handy in
Washington writes 10 the Herald as
follows: OF the making Of estimates
there is no end. All Of the politicians
and Journalists, professional and anna
teur. seem to be figuring just now as
to the distribution of votes between
candidates for president in the st.
Louis convention. Some tables pre-
scented are the product of honest work
and observation without effort to bring
about a particular result. Others are
manifest attempts to boom either Nc
Kinley or the field Others again are
such blind guesses of ill-informed cor
respondents which one wonders to see
pass editorial muster and appear in the
columns of great newspaper. Moth
ing could be more preposterous, for ex-
ample than the continual assignment
to this or that candidate of the whole
votes in block of great states which
VIGOROUSLY and according to returns
already received are divided in their
preferences.
Until lately, while regarding McKin-
ley's nomination as assured, so far as
anything in the political future could
be assured. 1 have thought that his
nomina ton would not take place until
the second ballot. But going over ev-
cry state with care, comparing claims,
weighing proba bilities, looking at move
ments going on below the surface and
giving the ground swell for Mckinley,
it's natural effect, I have come to the
conclusion that the first ballot may
make him the nominee. Here Is the
way / figure it out:
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1896-03-24
PROBABLE VOTE FOR MKTNLEY.

The Mckinley managers claim, and
with good reason in most cases, at
least two score more votes than these.
They know positively of pledged sup
porters in the delegations of states
supposed tot be bound hand and foot
TO other candidates. and of these I take
no account except 10 say there are more
than enough to offset any unlocked for
detection in such states as Wyoming,
the Dakotas or in the south. AS my
table stands, l have thrown out many
Mckinley certainities. For example,
L have given him twenty-fOur votes
from Illinois, whereas the bosses have
practically given up the fight made in
CullOm's name and it is more than prob
able that every one of the forty-eight
votes Of Illinois will be cast for McKin-
ley. Reed is allowed a solid New Eng
land, whereas 1 venture a prediction
contrary to the general belief, that Nc
Kinley will have votes from every New
England state except Maine on the first
ballot, and that Vermont and Connect
cut, one or teh other will come to him
sOlidly if they are needed 10 maintain
his lead. New Jersey, too, will be for
Mckinley when the bell rings. Mime
sofa will not present the name of Davis
nor Kentucky Bradley's unless the Nc
IAIhiCy HlS~udSS-S SOuSlucI l!ie ulNSI-
sion perfectly safe. The Mckinley
people claim every vote from Alabama,
California, Mississippi and an even
chance for the silver states.
McKinley's only peril lies in the pre-
mature ripening of his canvass. The
opposition has nearly three months in
which to plan for his overthrow on
some new line of attack On the other
hand, the opposition, too. has over
strained. The strength of each of its
candidates has been tested. Theh fav-
oriteson business has been made a
laughing stock. What arrow may be
left in its culver it is not easy TO see.
But the people must remember that the
bosses are experienced, resourceful and
have plenty of money at command. The
Mckinley line must not only be formed
but stay formed

courteous action in defending a woman
clerk in one of the departments from
the abuse and dOmineering manners Of
a tyrannical chief Of division. For this
o1fenSe the young man. only messen-
ger II the office. was taken severely TO
task by the chief Of division. and the
upshot OF the matter was a fist;cuff, in
which the yOunsster licked his superior
officer, and made a good job OF il, too.
while he was about it. In fact, he gave
the chief of division such a severe drub-
bling that the latter applied To the police
court for a redress Of his grievances.
and the whole matter was ventilated
when the young messenger appeared to
answer the charge of assault and bat
terry preferred against him.
There was no attempt on the part OF
the defender 10 deny that he had COM
mitted the assault complained Of. and
there was nothing left Cor the Judge 10
do but u impose the lowest fine possible
in such a case. This was paid by some
Of the sympathizing clerks in the divis-
ion who had been victims Of this
-yrant'S overbearing and tyrannical
rule But the chief Of division was not
10 be baked in his scheme Of revenge
by the psltry fine imposed. He made
such representations 70 the head Of the
department that the head OF the young
messenger was taken off by the official
suillotine. and he was cast e5rift 10

In some manner. however. the news

From my angle of vision this is wrong.
Jesus Christ taught that mans first
duty was to seek the kingdom of Heav-
en- and its righteousness and by doing
this and this only can the foundation
be laid for the betterment of the race,
and he who devotes his energies to any
thing else no matter how important,
would be like one who tried 10 build a
house first and the foundation last.
Paul was wise when he determined TO
know nothing except Jesus Christ and
him crucifed, but this in his mind was
sufficient to elevate the race, and today
we have no reason to believe that it is
not as efficacious.'

The Peculiarity of the "R,"

A. little feature to be seen in some writings perhaps only to be dis tinguished as separate gesture by the aid of a magnifying glass-is the tiny stroke which is separately placed above the small r. in order to show that it is an r, and to thus distinguish it from another letter, or part of a letter, which resembles the when the latter is made without this little top stroke At the first glance, how insignificant does this detail appear! But is it really without meaning as human action? I think not.
 A man who habitually takes the trouble to make clearer the meaning of one of his symbols, at the cost of a little separate action, is man who takes pains with his work and who de- sires to do his work well. This action, trivial as it appears, could scarcely be done by slovenly or careless person; it is a gesture of minute care and at tention-qualities that in one way or another have been of vast service to individuals and to mankind. Thomas Carlyle, for example, showed his minute carefulness by an attention to punctuation that 1 have never seen ex- celled, and which has rarely been equaled.-Nineteenth Century.

BOUND TO BE RECOGNIZED.
Cincinnati Insists Upon Furnishing
 the Nominee.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 22-Since this city did not get the Democratic Ma ttional convention, a movement to get the nomination has been started. It is argued that no effort was made to secure the Republican National con- vention, as Ohio has a candidate in Mckinley, and if the Democratic con- vention had been held there no local candidate could have been consistently presented. The Cincinnati delegation that went to Washington last week to present the claims of this city to the Democratic National committee was headed by Melville E. Ingalls,, president of the Big Four and other railways, and he is the man that a combination of business men and poli- ticians are considering as a man who would command the confidence of busi- ness interests in these stringent times. The failure of James B. Campbell again to become governor, and of Cal vim s. Brice to be returned as senator at the last election, is cited as clearing the way for the Ingalls men to get a solid Ohio delegation and then the sup port of other states.

Pretenders to European Thrones.

Among the many pretenders who congratulated the new emperor of Russia on his ascending the throne were the eX-l1ing of Naples, who lays claim to the throne of Italy; the duke of Parma, now a grandfather, and who was deprived of his sovereignty at the early age of five; the former grand duke of Tuscany, the duke of Cumber- land, who claims the sovereignty of the duchy of Brunswick; the various princes Karageorgevicz,, ccch of whom claims to be the de jure l,::2g of Servia, Prince Couza, who has prctehsions to the crown of Roumania; Den IIiguel, of Braganza, the legitimist Pretcnder to throne of Portugal; Prince Victor Ma poleon, the duke of Orleans, the soi- disant duke of Normandy, and Gen. Francis de Bourbon, self-styled duke of Anjou, each signing himself as sovereign de jure of France, while from Spain's pretenders there were missives from Don Carlos, his son Don Jaime, and last, butnot least, the duke of Medina -Coeli.

WINTER IN TIE SUBURBS.
When the Glad Spring Cometh Joy Reigns
 Supreme.

When the Glad Spring Cometh Joy Reigns
 Supreme.
 There is perhaps nothing more dis agreeable to the average lover of com fort than to have to spend winter in the suburbs, writes one who has had the experience, in Harpers Bazar where there is nothing at all going on but the household bills, and where the wind blows the snow about at such a rate that when the boy digs a path to the sidewalk, it is so well covered by the time he reaches the street that he has to make new path that he may get back to the house dry.
 And then the wind moans dismally about the chimney all night, and shakes the house so that the pictures swing on the walls, and the quinine pills rattle in a merry tattoo in the bottle on the bureau. And this wind blows down the chimney, and makes the curtains flap like sails, and cools the room, and blows the ashes off the hearth until the room seems filled with dense London fog. The milkman doesn't arrive until ullC hCdI Ol ullC llOuSC lletS It1b 1OI Uut train. Then comes leak in the roof that lets the slush tricllle down into the swinging lamp. The plumbing bursts, and a plumber cannot be had secause he goes first to the richest man n the town, and all the pipes are frozen. Then the snowstorm comes un- der the door-all but the snow-bird.
 But now all the hardships are over. The snow has gone, the frogs are croak- ing, the bluebird is singing and the violets arc blowing in the twinkling grass. The smile of spring gilds hills and valleys like gentle benison, and the air is throbbing with a wild magic music that makes one feel young and happy. The lambkins are capering about in widest glee, and the long bright days, shimmering in gold and painted with lily and lilac, fade away like fairy dream.
 And the ruralite is happy, for now he gets his great reward for suffering there all winter. Now, in the rosy reign of spring, he sallies forth full of the music of gladness-he has rented his house for the summer
