Election Calculations.

Hon. Charles Estes used to be an
adept ut making election calculations.
We do not know that he is figuring on
the coming contest in November. The
New York Press, with an air Of mag
unanimous fairness, gives what it calls
the certain Bryan and certain Nc
Kinley States. 1t deals very libcrally
with the Democrats in the doubtful
commonwealth and must shock Mark
Hanna and General Grosvenor with its
inunificcncc, from partisan point Of
view. 1t even. alphabetically, places
Bryan within II votes Of victory, and
then proceeds as follows:
In New England, of course, there is
is not. ghost Of an opportunity.
There is none in Pennsylvania, nor is
there more in California. Iowa, New
Jersey, Oregon, West Virginia and
WiEconsin: In the following States,
then, MIR. Bryan would have to look
for those eleven votes:

Either Illinois, Michigan, New York
or Ohio would give enough. Or North
Dakota and Minnesota together would
give enough. But with free silver as
the issue again this year. as it was in
1896, why should Bryan expect to carry
q single one Of these States? We can
not see it. But, as we have said, and
as we shall have occasion to repeat,
Mr.. Bryan can very easily como close
enough to the necessary 224 votes to
make an accident in supposedly "sure"

expect the accident. But we and 9TH
ers should be fools to count on the ac-
cident as impossible. So let us work!

sin to Mckinley. Neither the Press
ahti-imperialism may have in Illinois,
New York OF Ohio. Free silver may
not be such o ghost as the Press is in
clined to think.
But the Press virtually admits that
the Republican party is in danger of
defeat, and that any man who thinks
Mckinley has sure thing is the vic
tim of dis0rdered imagination.
We are of the opinion that Bryan is
stronger than he was, personally and
nationally, in 1896, and that his chances
of election are first rate.
Some of our Democratic people who
go about despcndently should pluck up
courage and enthusiasm: Republican

PIGEON PIE.

A simple pigeon pie may be made as
follows: Procure birds enough for your
family, pick and clean them nicely, sea-
son with salt and pepper. put inside
each a generous piece of butter and the
yolk of hard boiled egg. II they are
old pigeons you should parboil them be-
fore adding the seasoning and making
them ready for the pie. Make good
paste. allowing pound of butter to two
pounds of sifted -four. roll it out rather
thick and line with It the bottom and
sides of large deep dish. Put in the
pigeons and lay on the top some bits of
butter rolled in -four. Pour in nearly
enough water to fill the dish. Cover the
pie with lid of paste, rolled rather
thick, nicely notched and ornamented if
you desire with paste leaves OF flowers.
You may also make partridge pie or
pie of small birds in the same way. If
you desire richer pie you may use a
good veal stock instead of water for the
filling.

READING aLNnD.

Reading aloud to the children and In
the family circle--how fast it is be.
coming one OF the lost arts What
multitudes Of children of former days
were enter tained aud instructed by this
practice, and how few there are
who are SO entertained and instructed
nowadays. Children now, after being
taught to lead, Join that great army
which take in the printed word swiftly
and silently. Most parents, doubtless,
are too busy to sEare time to educate
their sons and daughters by reading to
them, and as the children grow older
they find thair hours too crowded to
devote any of them simply to listening.
What IS the use?" they would say,
il asked. TASTES differ, and we can
read what we want In fraction of the
time that would be consumed il We
had to sit still and hear it.n
This is all true enough, says tho
Hartford Currant. but is there not
something lost in having the custom Of
reading aloud lapse so entilelyr As o
sign of the times, the change is another
proof of the rush and hurry of lie,
and, in the family, it is more or less
to be considered an evidence of tho
tendency to Independence on tho
part of the younger members. Com
mon interest in good book, read
aloud by father or mother is factor
in the home that is important enough
to have some attention paid to it. Tho
opposite of 'siSimmingn book. it
doyelopes certain mental faculties that
it is well to have developed and as IA
exercise in elocution for the reader il
has distinct advantages. Books so read
are remembered, and their influence
on character far exceeds that of many
q volume whose pages aie turned in a
desperate effort to reach the last.
Reading aloud is a salutary check on
the habits of reading TOO much and
reading too fast.
Ii would certainly be worth while to
take up tho practice in families. where
the conditions favor it. MS M exi,eri-
ment, Tho winter evenings are long,
and as one looks back on them no can
find ut least few hours that could
have been devoted to reading, OF listen
ing. Reading aloud is a quict enjoy
ment, tc be surc, but it is AN enJoy-

DEMOCRATIC AID FOR BOSS QUAY.

Z / generally agree with the editorial
sentiments of the Call. but i must dis
sent from what your paper has been
pleased to say about the senting Of
Quay in the United States Senate. In
the first place it is manifestly matter
in which party politics must cut big
figure. 1t is always SO 10 contested
election cases in either house of Com
gress. Part tisan politics runs highest
in the decision of such cases, and q
member voting against his party must

for his vote ii he does not wish his
party associates to regard him as
deserter. or course 1t is all right for
member tc vote according TO his con.
science on the law and the facts sur-
rounding contested election case,
but what indueement either in the, law
or In the facts can Democratic Sena.
tor find for voting to seat Quay? The
Senate has frequently and recently bJ
overwhelming majorities voted that q

fer the law. But it is not on the law
that Quay appeals for his seat. Itis nm
his personality and on his potentiality
as a Republican politician of the
machine class. What in Quay's rer-i
sonality or in his record can properly
find favor in the eyes of any Demo.
cratic SenatorP Nothing. absolutely
nothing; and when the roll is called
you will find precious few Democrats
voting to seat him. Pennsylvania can
better afford to have vacant chair I'M
the Senate than to have man like
Quay representing her there, and that,
is what the Pennsylvania Legislature
evidently thought and it acted accord-
ingly. Delaware Democrats who have
fought so long and SO hard against
having Addioks to represent this
State in the Senate can sympathize
with the Pennsylyanians who object
to Quay representing their State
The Quay case Is accordingly exciting

wife, Lucinda, was employed as a
domestic and accused her Of having
caused his anest. She was sorubbipg

stabbed her repeatedly, infiicting
wounds which soon resulted in her
death. As--l Fl
