Election Estimates.

Washington Post.
It can be stated on absolute authori-
ty that the Democratic national COM
mittee has abandoned all hope of car
rying any State on the Pacific slope.
There was, of course, only one State
really in question, because Oregon went
for Mckinley four years ago and has
since been giving increased Republican
majorities, while Bryan got one cleo
toral vote out of California in 1896 by
an accident. California will 60 solidly
Republican this year, and so will
Washington.
Maryland has been practically con-
ceded to the Democrats by the Eastern
Republican managers. The State went
$4,000 for Mckinley four years ago,
but since that time has been gradually
getting back to its old Democratic
moorings. It is always safe Demo
cratic State when the party Is united,
and this year the return of gold Demo;
Gratis to the regular organization has
been almost universal. Indeed, it can
be safely predicted that only the few
Democrats who did not vote for John
Walter Smith for Governor will this
year vote tor Mckinley and Smith was
elected, 1t will be remembered, by IL,
600 majority.
And If Maryland can change its ma
Jority of $4,000 for Mckinley in 1896
to majority for Bryan in 1900, what
about the other States where the same
proportion of change will 1evorse the
verdict of four years ago?
Private advices from New York Re-
publican headquarters indicate that
Connecticut and New Jersey are re.
garded as doubtful States. This is an
other very remarkable admission on
the part of the Republican managers,
In 1896 Connecticut gave nearly 55
600 majority for Mckinley and New
Jersey nearly $4,000.
Connecticut and New Jersey doubt
full States This is news, indeed.

ONE SECRET OF YOUTH.

II you wish to retain your youth to
"a good, old age" one of the most I'm
portant things to remember is not to
eat too much meat. Meat once day
in small quantities is sufficient.
Vegetables and fruit should always
be eaten freely and drink plenty OF
water. It is curious fact that most
people drink too little instead OF too
much water at least quart day is
desirable. A pint OF hot water slipped
slowly before eating IS very good when
a tendency to rheumatic troubles ex-
lists.
Always eat slowly; nothing will age
you more quickly than an improper
assimilation OF food, and this is one o1
the faults most OF us commit.-Pitts-
burg Dispatch.

Two Little Boys.

A bad little boy, with cross little

OF fun or good nature he showed not

He fretted and cried without warn

He'd not touch his breakfast, he
wouldn't play;
If you spoke he answered by snarl-

He teased his pet kitty all the long
day
He really was "nohody's darling"
A good little boy, with bright little
face,
Came down in the morning time
singing,
And indoors and out, and al over
the place,
His music and laughter went ring

To do what was asked he seemed al
ways prepared.
And in doing is equally nimble.
These two little boys were wholly un-
like,
Though they lived in one house,
were not brothers,
That good little boy and that bad lii
tletyke
Have not two kind fathers and
mothers,
But there are two tempers, and only
one boy.
And one indeed such sad one
That when with the good one bring.

We ask, "Was that really the bad

DAMAGE TO SUGAR
BY Texas Storms Was Less Than At
First Reported.

AUSTIN, Tex, Oct. 16-The grinding
season on the sugar plantations has
begun. Although the damage to the
sugar mills, refineries and plantation
buildings in the storm-swept district
was very heavy, very substantial pro-
gress has been made in rebuilding.
so that very many more mills are ready
to begin grinding today than was ex-
pected.
1t is now learned that the sugar cane
was not as badly damaged by the
storm as was at first supposed. The
cane was blown fiat in many places.
but this does not prevent its being
cut. 1t is conservatively estimated
that the damage will not exceed ten
per cent.
