Figuring on Congress.

1t has been felt all along that the
contest for Congress would offer great.
er obstacles to the Republicans than
would the canvass for President. Sane
Democrats, in fact, have not for two
months PAST had any expectation OF
electing Bryan, though some of them
have believed, or have said they be-
lievel, that they would capture the
', House of Representatives. They felt
that they could not prevent the re-elec-
ton of President Mckinley, but have
had some idea that they could control
the House of Representatives and thus
hamper him in his policy.
The New York Herald's canvass.
which shows McKinley's reelection
by about lis majority in the electoral
college, as compared with 95 in 1896,
gives majority of only 13 to the Re-
publicans in the next House of Rep
resentatives. According to these fig
ures the Democrats will have 153 men,
bers in the House which is to be chosen
this year, Tie Populists will have 5,
while there Il doubtful districts, with
lS5 surely R@publican. The Republi-
can lead, that is to say, is only 13
over the other elements in combina-
ton with the doubtful districts. OF
course, some of the doubtful seats will
be filled by Republicans. This will
increase the Republican lead.
AT the beginning Of the present Con-
gress the Republican lead was 13, but
this has been increased slightly by the
recovery of seats unjustly filed by
Democrats. The narrowness of this
margin has been embarrassing to the
Republicans and of decided disad-
vantage to the country. 1t is incum-
bent on the Republicans to use their
utmost endeavors to make their lead
in the coming House of Representa-
tives longer than it is in the present
body. The party ought to have a ma
jority of at least so in the new House.
as it had in the one which was was
chosen with Mckinley four years ago.
A great deal of important work will
come up before Congress in the first
half of President McKinley's second
term. The Republicans should en-
deavor to send majority to Congress
large enough to do this work prompt

Vandiyer and Homes: Joe Fiery.

How's this? Congressman TanGi-
YER, a so-aalled Democrat, said in a
speech delivered at Moorehouse, on
the 23rd of October: Just think OF
it. A man. who few years ago was
nothing but conductor-a common
conductor on railway train now
aspires to the Governorship of the
great State of Missouri, the fifth
State in the Union" How sad, how
sad. Joseph not only aspires to be
Governor, but the people-the COM
mon people-have fully made up their
minds to crafty his aspirations. an
however common Joe may be, he will
probably not send his old clothes
home at the expense of the State.
"Just think of it, Vandiver, Con-
gresham from Missouri, ''the fifth
State in the Union" franking his old
clothes home through the United
States. o, what a shame. Great is
Vandiver! He hrnors the high posi-
ton he holds by stuffing a mail sack
with his old clothes and franking il
home. Glorious Joe Flory: ignoble

Democrats at Tina. no., Declined to Meet

Tina, Mo-, October 2S.-An incident
that is significant when considered in
connection with the flag furliug talk
Of the Bryanites which occurred at a
Democratic rally at this place last
Friday. The meeting was held in l..
o. o. F. hall, and Congressman Ruck-
er was the. principel speaker. One of
the stage decorations was lhe the G.
Il. r. flag Of Post No. 100. 1t was
hung in such way that its full size
was displayed. 1t was not in any
ones way. but just before the speak
ing began j. G. Castle, Democratic
committeeman in charge of arrange
ments, asked John Parsley to take
down the flag, which was done, and it
was rolled up end set in one corner of
the hall. 1t occurred to many of those
present that it was peculiarly appro-
pirate for The party that advocates
hauling down the flag in the Philip
pines to decline to meet under its falds
at home.

er quarter aside for my watch fund.
You will hardly believe it, but in less
than six months l had saved money
enough to purchase the watch.''
''But you don't seem to have bought
it." said his friend, observing that
there were no outward signs of such
purchase.
"Well, no. When found how ca
silv l could get along without SOC
lunches, 1 concluded could get along
just as easily without the gold watch,
and the watch fund is growing into q

Weak Political Districts.

Persons not familiar with the man
agement of a political campaign often
ask how the leaders know SO ac-
|curately where to locate the weak spots
throughout state or country.
As a matter of fact a campaign is
conducted like large business.
The men of both parties depend on
reports of committeeman for the feel
ing in different sections. They in
turn receive figures from local poll
ticians. When the accounts reach
headquarters they contain fairly COR
rect estimates of what actual con-
ditions are in that particular locality.
Of course the mere reports are not
all. There are men who belong to the
party who have neither time nor in
clination TO use their influence among
their fellows. These men have to be
seen and shown the Importance of
hard work as an essential to campaign
success.
There are different sections OF the
country devoted to different policies.
1t is the managers business to plant
his forces where they will be the most
effective for his party's goud.
As business house sends out its
drummers, SO the campaign committee
depends on its representatives for
statements showing strong and weak
spots in the political field.
It often happens that judicious ap-
plication OF energy in districts which
appear doubtful turns them the right
way.
Thus the knowledge of weak places
is absolutely necessary to headquar-
ters. There must be a maximum of
effort and "a minimum Of apathy. The
doubtful districts in the political hori
zon must be won over and replaced
by strong ones. Enthusiasm and hard
work are synonymous in d political
campaign. II Is necessary to encour-
age them in those parts of the coun-
try where they do not exist-for the
party in question.
II is for this reason as we'll as for
the forecast of results that the weak
places are so carefully sought out.

TURpENTINE FOR CONSUMPTION.
Varying Effect OF the Pine Woods on Weak
Lungs.

i "Just what effect the piney woods
have in cases of pulmonary trouble is
hard to detirmine," said an old resi-
dent OF the turpentine belt, above
Covington. !.ln some instances they
seem to effect really wonderful cures-
in others no perceptible benefit is,
derived. 1t is very mysterious. Five
or six years ago, to illustrate my
point, a young man whom had known
slightly at New Orleans came up to
my place on purpose to get among the
pines. He had all the symptoms of
consumption, and agreed to do what
odd jobs he could about the turpentiue
still in return for his board. He came
during the cutting season and fell
into the habit of going into the woods
early in the morning, when it was
misty or rainy, and drinking water.
out Of the boxes \ box is a cavity
which is cut in the trunk of a pine
tree to receive the accumulation of sap.
and in wet weather it will generally
NIL up with water that is strangely i'm
pregnated with crude turpentine. Be-
fore the season was over the young
man had improved wonderfully in
health, and by the end of the year he
appeared to be entirely cured-all of
which he attributed to the turpentine
he had absorbed. Next season one of
his cousins. who was also a consump-
tile, came to the place to try the effect
of the system. The two were about
the same age, and their condition on
arrival was almost identical. The last
man however, didn't Improve, but on
the contrary, became rapidly worse,
and was finally obliged to return TO
New Orleans, where he died in an in
firmary. The water he drank from the
boxes set up serious irritation OF the
stomach and undoubtedly did him a
great deal OF harm. have observed
similar contradictions time aud again,
and while, as a general thing, all
weak and run down people seem to
be benefited by the pines, the effect
in consumption is curiously arbitrary.
Some get better Immediately and
others do not. 1t is noticeable fact.
by the way, that the people who i'm
prove the most are invariably those
who have fcndness for the resincus
odor of the woods, which to others is
positively offensive. New Orleans
