Don't under any circumstances
shovel the snow off your sidewalk.
Leaye it alone. In time the public
will tramp it down and save you
lot Of work. People will cuss you a
few Zines and in that way your name
will become a household word in the
neighbprhood.
II you are funny man, you will
find your opportunity in snow drift.
When you meet a timid girl Of your
acquaintance, wash her face. She
may take cold and her father will put
your name in his fool book, but what
difference does that make to you?
Haven't you had your joke?
Abuse the daily paper carrier boy
for not getting around on time. There
is no end to his capacity for work,

make his trip as quickly through two

doesn't expect you TO be reasonable
and it would be too bad to disappoint

While everything seems to be running
smoothly at the Republican headquarters
in this city. there is a marked contrast
with the confidence and enthusiasm dis
played by the members OF the committee,
as compared with the campaign OF 1898.
Then no doubt whatever was expressed as
to the outcome of the Congressional cleo
tons Chairman Babcoek never once ad-
mitted that the Democrats had even a
fighting chance. But it is different today
Now the Republican leaders around the
headquarters say:
OF course, we expect to carry the
House. but il can only be accomplished by
an unending fight from now until cleo
JiOn day
The truth IS. enthusiasm among the Re
pubiicRns appears TO be al low ebb and
the managers at headquarters are power
less TO arouse the boys in the trenches.
This does not apply to the Congressional
election only. but also 10 the national
ticket Republicans who contributed their
time and money four years ago to the
election OF Mr.. Mckinley and who were
disappointed in not receiving an invita-
ton to participate in the spoils. are dis
gruntled, and they are sulking- And there
are many thousands Of these dissatisfied
Republicans who shouted for Mckinley in
1856. This is one cause of the long faces
around the Republican Congressional
headquarters in this city.
Republicans who have managed cam
pagns in the past say that the fight Of 1896
Will be nothing as compared 20 the one TOW
opened. Then the rank and file OF the Re-
publican paTty had in sight many thou
sands OF good Offices which would lie thsirs
in the event OF victory. Now these offices
are allied BY their own members. II Mr..
Mckinley should win. they say, there wolld
be b 1t very few changes made. II Bryan
wins. there would be : sweep which. tley
assert. would solidify the party for the
campaign Of 1894 Hence these Republican
seers argue that their party is at least so
per cent weaker than il would have been
had some other than Mr.. Mckinley been
nominated at Philadelphia.
II was intimatod at Republican heacq1ar-
tiers that the Gold Democrats will again put
a ticket in the field. This is what the Re-
publican leaders are working 20 accomplish.
for they say IL is vital to Republican sue

PARIS. July 2+-Paris is still suffering
