look Is by No Means Rosy
Hanna Will Hang on-PoIiticaI
Gossip.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9-The Wash
ington Post will present tomorrow, in
q series of dispatches from correspond
ents In every state in the Union, eX-
cept Maine, Vermont and Oregon, where
congressional elections have already
been held, a review of the political sit
uatiOn, with special reference to the
complexion of the next house of repre-
sentatives.
In summarizing it's dispatches the
Post says: while Democratic gains
are outlined in many states, the figures
given by the correspondents of the
Post do not yet make it possible that
the Republicans will lose control of
the house. There is at present in the
house of representatives a Republican
majority of Sc over all parties COM
bfned, and this large majority will be
difficult to completely overcome. There
is no doubt that it will be reduced to
a very small number but the present
indications do not point to its entire
disappearance"
The estimates made by the Post cor
the United States will certainly be Re
publican in the approaching election,
unless the unexpected happens, and Is
additional districts will give the Re
publicans a majority of the house. Ac-
cording' to the POSTS advices, there are
no less than AZ doubtful districts, the
large number being in great measure
due to the caution of the correspond
ents in placing in either column any
district which contains an element of
doubt. Out of this AZ, however, there
are at least 20 districts in which the
chances are said to favor the Repub-
licans
For instance there are districts in
Massachusetts, Maryland, Delaware,
New York West Virginia, Ohio, Mich
igan and Wisconsin, which are classed
as doubtful but which the Republicans
will probably carry. With 16S districts
assigned certain to the Republicans,
against 129 assured to the Democrats,
according to the Posts correspond
erts. the party in power has an easier
path to travel to the desired goal. The
PCpulists are given thirteen seats and
the Silver Republicans four.
All the correspondents of the Post
agree in their statements as to the
apathy shown everywhere in the COM
ing elections, and this one factor is a
great obstacle to Republican success
Great efforts are now being made to
get out the vote, and the campaign is
undoubtedly becoming enliVened. The
Democrats are encouraged by their
fighting chance, and the Republicans
approaching the danger which threat
ems, are vigorously laboring to impress
upon their voters the necessity of cast
ing every ballot at the polls.

Dramatic and Musical
METROPOLITAN.

Warmed, in spite of the bad weather, by a
larger audience than on Sunday night, Edwin
Mayo and company presented an even more
admirable rendition Of "Pudd nhead Wilson"
at the Metropolitan last evening.
From the first line in the prologue to the
finale when the almost melodramatic vindi-
cation of Pudd'nhead's genius and his fad
occurs, relieved by the ever recurrent puz-
zle of the half dog, the living, breathing spirit
of Dawson, Mr.. Mayo and his company had
the audience alternately moved to tears or
provoked to bursts of laughter.
Mr. Edwin Mayo is not the creator of
Pudd' nhead. He is suffering under the weight
Of what presses on other men who have had
distinguished fathers who lived before them,
as was perhaps, remarked by the author of
the story in which Mayo the younger is now
following his paternal ancestor. Compari-
sons however, are not odious in this case,
for Edwin Mayo is showing the dramatic
world that the talent in the family is not
dead. That he is content to follow generally
the lines OF his fathers creation detracts not
from the entire amiability and perennial good
nature of the briefess barrister whose
library rots in the dust while he CLEANS in
the harvest field of human nature, large v

Twain won new plaudits from the reading

at all material and relevant goes to
support the complaint. 1t admits that
the inspectors at the terminals, ain ex-
aiming the grain, are required by the
nature of the work in fixing grades to
depend to a large extent upon judg-
ment, and it would not be possible, in
the opinion of the commission, for any
set of men, under such circumstances,
to always judge accurately or to al
ways judge alike, and it follows that
occasional errors are made" And while
the commission regrets this it knows
of no way in which it can be avoid
ed. If it is a question of individual
judgment. in which no set of men can
Judge accurately" why should there
be any other Judgment invoked than
that Of the buyer and seller at either
il itial or terminal market?
The allegation that the inspection re-
suits in diminished price at the initial
market is sustained by the answer of
the commission. Mr.. Schain represent
ed the business men of Browns Valley
before it, and stated that the buyers
there ''were grading all grain received
as No. 2 northern, claiming that was
do IlSn SIdue DIS lIIey COulu SSL tIC
terminals" The commission obtained
report of the inspection Of grain
from Browns Valley. made at the
terminals, and found that of eight cars
shipped from that place seven graded
No. 1 northern and one as No. 2" That
is to say, the Browns Valley buyers,
uncertain of the treatment their grain
would get from the inspectors at termi-
nails, protected themselves against pos
sible loss by paying a No. price for
grain that was graded No. 1 northern
by the inspectors. The difference in
price is about 5 cents a bushel. This
difference, on the seven cars mentioned,
the grain growers lost and the local
grain buyers gained. The inspection
system touched the producer only to
hurt him; whatsoever gets benefit, the
farmer does not. The system should be
