matter of fact, this is only a part of their
work. They have got to be constantly pre-
pared to furnish opinions on all sorts of
subjects having am rel atom to politics,
and If there Is not ready market for those
opinions they have to provide one.
They have to provide the crude article
of put lie sentiment and send 1t out for de-
Velopment, and then they have to hold up
cleVerly constructed refleCtorS to this Senti-
ment when 1T is sufficiently developed and
spread out the shadows thus caught, to
construct what is put on the market as in
formation or news. This is again caught
on the refiectors, after it has become well
worn from use and out of it Is manufac-
tured campaign confidence
Campaign Confidence.
The method of manufacturing campaign
confidence Is very complicated. Favorable
impressions are subjected to the influence
of powerful magnifying glasses. Unfavor-
able impressions are put through the
shrinking system OF diminishing mirrors
and reduced to dim perspective, upon
which the rainbow colors are brought out.
Some very fair articles of campaign conf
dence are being manufactured at all the
campaign establishments here.
Now that the several party campaign
committees have got down to work there is
considerable of interest and Importance
In what they are doing. Four committees

The shop for the Manufacture of senti-

institution. The machinery is very simple
and the chief opera ors are the only ones
who have to be to any considerable extent
skilled, but the product is ingeniously fash
toned, complex in design and varied in
quality. The manufactured sentiment is
usually very firm and strong and highly
colored, but of thin texture. The manu-
featured opinions are usually of thick and
heavy texture, with mixed and indistinct
design.
The several shops that have been started
up here in Washington are working at full
blast now, and are turning out strange
and miscellaneous lot of goods.
There is common impression that about
all there is to do at the several political

Is seldom too busy to see those who have
any excuse for a demand on his time.
He is a very hard worker, without ap-
pearirg to be always on the hustle. His
skill a political manager Is generally
recognized. One Of his strong points is that
a situation promptly, and goes to work in
the coolest manner imaginable to adjust
things as he wants them. He has an

musing of his own cleverness.
