How the American Citizen In Foreign
Lands Observes the Day.
The American abroad sticks to the
old time observance of New Year S with
assiduity. This is due probably more to
a desire to be in harmony with the Gus
toms of the country of his temporary
abode than TO pay any special honor to
his native country. The American col
ONES in London, Berlin and Paris make
the first day of the year the occasion for
an elaborate interchange of visits that
not only include Americans in the list
but also all the notable residents with
whom they may be on calling terms In
these capitals of course, utmost formal
tiles are observed, and the functions of
the day, II zealously carried out, as
they generally are, call for consider

When the American ambassador keeps
open house. naturally the chief inter
est centers about his establishment
When the patriotic and pleasant duty of
visiting him has been accomplished,
then the people settle down to vigorous
pursuit of each other striving as far as
possible Co be at two or more places at
once This Is especially noticeable IN
Paris, where the American custom Is
modelled closely ON that which obtains
in official circles Paris gives itself up
completely to calls on this day. and

And by dead tendrils cling.

There is no breath of spring.

EASILY SATISFIED.

A telegram from Washington
says the administration is salts
fed with the results in Maryland
and Ohio of Tuesdays elections.
Verify the administration is cas-
lily satisfied.
The result IN Maryland turned
on a personal issue. and the ad-
ministration is welcome to all
the satisfaction it can extract
from it's effort to construe the
success of the anti-Gorman COM
bination into a real party defeat
of the Democracy.
AS for the result in Ohio, it
was d rousing slap IN the face Of
the administration, and from the
standpoint Of most persons 1t
would look as if the other side
had gotten satisfaction.
Furthermore, it is not at all
certain that the administration
will have the satisfaction OF see
ing German ousted from the
United States Senate as Senior
Senator from Maryland, or
Hanna indicted into the Ohio
Junior senatorial seat, to succeed
himself. In both States the Dem
ocrats have instituted legal pros
ceedings upon the outcome OF
which depends the determination
of the question which party has
a majority on legislative i'm
ballot. In Maryland a de
cision favorable to the Demo
Gratis is, it is said, expected.
Touching Ohio. it is stated that
there is a suspicion that the Re.
publicans "have the courts"
How well grounded this suspi-
cion is, if, indeed, there is any
ground for it all, we know not;
but even should events justify
it, Hanna's safety, it is now
limited, would not be assured
The latest from Ohio is that in
view cf the practical reputation
of Hanna in Tuesdays election,
the Foraker Republicans may,
should the courts sustain the
claim of the Republicans. COM
