1t will be noted that of these seven
States five are in what was formerly des-
ignatcd as the solid South" AMI while
other commemorative in that section may
have recently wavered in their party 10y
atty this block of five stood steadfast in
fealty to both democracy and Organism
1t Is true that elections in the Southern
states named previous to presidential
elections have not usually been regarded
as strictly reliable as political barometcrs,
but any marked variation in the demo-
cratic majorities returned in those States
in the event of a contest by the repubi-
cans would naturally have more or less
significance.
CHANGING down through this column of
States the political student will observe
that the only two republican common
wcalths represented are as strongly re-
publican as the others named are unfal-
tering in their democracy. The fact re-
Mains however. that in both Maine and
Vermont, and particularly in the latter,
the size OF tho republican majority has
come to be generally regarded as an all
most uncrrinE index of the trend of poll
teal sentiment throughout the country.
AS goes Vermont, so goes the Union -
has gained all the prestige and signih-
canoe of II political axiom, so that it is
not necessary to quote figures at this time
to substantiate the assertion. 1t is suf-
hcicnt to say that Judging from present in
dications the Vermont republicans will be
able in 1900 as is past years to set the pace
for their party throughout the Union.

Some time during the present week II
Is the intention OF the board OF public
works to re-establsh that time-honored
Seattle institution known as tho "chain
gang" for the especial benefit OF the ho-
boes who geek a winters lodging at the
city's expense. Just what work tho city
prisoners viii have to do has not yet
been determined.
Tho superior officers in the police de-
partment are unit on the wisdom of the
chain gang plan. Ever since tho rainy
season began the city Jail has been filled
with hoboes who have nocked here, and
whom the police say desire to get the

ing the month OF November 2.i50 meals

at cost OF 1915 cents meal
To drive the hoboes out of the city the
police had introduced In the city council
an ordinance authorizing the board of
public works to set the city prisoners to
work, and hereafter every person sent
to jail for violation OF city ordinance
will have to perform a Gays work in re-
turn for his meals

been in operation 1t has been the custom

great extent this plan has always coun-

from the chain gang; but City Attorney
De Bruer, who has given the hobo prob

scheme whereby this plan could be check
mated.

nue. Theater.
"A Hot Old Time" turned people away
at the Third Avenue theater last night. The
building was filled with the kind of audi
ence that makes a manager feel like OPEN
ing wine after the show, and the effect of
the show upon the audience was not UNI
like the exhilaration of champagne The
that laughed so hard It had scarce strength
left for applause. The play Is three

one OF the record-breakers Of the Third

The recollection of last years production

ably contributed to last nights success
