THE NEXT HOUSE.

1t seems very probable that
there will be a good working Dem
ocratic majority in the next House
of Representatives to support the
policy of the Democratic Presi-
dent, who will be elected next No
vember. The Republican majori-
ty in the present House of Repre-
sentatives, even after the arbitra-
ry and unscrupulous seating of a
number of Democrats who were
elected is not large.
There are eleven Republican
members of the present house who
had less than 1000 plurality and
in every one of their districts the
Democratic party is in better
Shape now than it was two years
ago. Forty Republican members

less than 1900 plurality. When
the present Congress assembled

Republican majority of only Is
over all the opposition In spite
of the reckless use Of the ousting
power the Republican majority in
that body now is so small that a
net gain of a dozen seats will give
the Democrats control of the next
House.
The several elements of oppo-
sition to the Republican party are
better organized and more har-
monGOus than they have ever been
before, and the prospect for a
Democratic House of Representa-
tives to start in with a Democratic
President next March is fine.

TALKING TO EUROPE.
Altar ia Journal.

Altar ia Journal
! We have heard much of the
"hands across the sea" but it ap-
pears that we will be able soon to
whisper to our friends in Europe
by the means of an invention
which Professor Pupin, of Col
umbia university, claims that he
has made entirely practicable.
The main difficulty of long dis
tance telephoning heretofore has
been the waste of electrical power
and the consequent loss of the of
volume of the voice.
This difficulty has been partial
~ overcome on land by the use Of
larger wires and more complete
insulation, But we have not yet
accomplished telephone connec-
ton between New York and San
Francisco and nobody before Pro
fessor Pupin has been bold enough
to declare that New York may
talk to London.
HIS invention is said to over
come all the obstaclec to trans
oceanic telephoning. He mere
ly inserts coils of wire under the
sheathing of the cable at intervals
of an eighth of mile, and this
prevents the loss of power that has
made such communication impOs-
sible heretofore. On land wires
the coils are used intervals of a |
mile with the same result.
We congratulate and thank
Professor Pupin. Just as soon as
Ee applies his invention we will |
ai be able to call up the Prince |
of Wales, Tod Sloane, Lord Sal
isbury, Willy Wally Astor and |
our other friends and talk to them
whenever we feel like it and have |
the price.

The rumor that the Carnegie in
terests have purchased extensive
Ressemer ore properties at Llano,
Tex, again calls attention to the
fact that the EXTENSIVE mineral
wealth of that district must play
an important part in the future
in the development of American
industry. If the purchase of this
great ore field has been made it
must represent an investment
looking to that future, or else an
indication that iron and steel works
are to be constructed there as the
distance is too great to Justify the
shipment of ore to the East under
present conditions of transporta-
ton.

OUR PARIS LETTER.
Editor of the Sea Coast Echo:
Paris, June so, 1900.

| Editor OF the Sea Coast Echo:
Paris. June 50, 1900.
Every thoughtful traveller has
doubtless felt how much more in
teresting are the people of a coun'
try than are their monuments, ca
thedrals, museums, or even their
international Expositlons. But
how can a writer tell about the
people of a country or poultray
, them, or catch the million evanes-
cent flashed. by which they show
all the littleness and greatness of
their character? The French are
said to be shallow and volatile
race, but is NJ. Taine shallow?
Can anv one after reading "Loun-
des". Rome Paris" and his
stern heroic defense of Dreyfus
call Zola volatile? There are hum
dreds of Frenchmen no less serious
and scarcely less distinguished.
And for every great writer OF the
other sex in our language 1t Will
not be difficult to mention De
Stael or a Sand. These are eXcep-
tions, of course, but the great
Frenchmen have not written with
out readers. and their great scien-
fists and philanthropists are not
without honor in their own cOun-
try. Nevertheless, outside their
books. or paintings or statuary,
we do not like the French, nor do |
they like us. This mutual anti
pathy, however, does not perhaps
prove more than mutual ignorance
and prejudice. We do not like ,
unlike ourselves. Think
of our vanity in this! The best |
way to understand the people of
a country is to let them talk and
reveal themselves, and shall,
with your permission give your
readers some literalzspecimens of
French journalism. For week,
King Oscar of Sweden has been
in Paris. Last Sunday he went
with the President to the Grand |
Prix, or biggest horse race of the
season, during the week he has
been "doing" the Exposition and
the following is a literal report |
from a Paris paper of his last day

in Paris:
"The King of Sweden and Nor
way consecrated the last day of
his soiourn in Paris to visiting the
Pavilions in the street of Nations
of the Exposition. The Spanish
pavilion was invested with a pc
culiar grace and solemnity by the
presence of the Infanta EuIalle
who insisted upon doing the hon
ors of the occasion to Oscar the
second IN the Palace of her coun-
try on the Seine. That one res

try is in decadence when so much
time is lost in remembering and
giving such tltles.) "The king
particularly admired the magnifi-
cent tapestries of the 10Th centu-
nv which cover the walls of the

There are on the left bank of

each one of which is a national

buildings of foreign powers, or,

of the prepared food left over from

In this pavilion we see also life

Mr.. sTEYENSON'S CASE.

Several men have been nomIn-
ated twice for Vice President, but
! the case of Mr.. Stevenson is diff
| ferent from all the rest.
George Clinton served us Vice
President with both Jefferson and
his immediate successor, Madison.
Rufus King was a candidate for
Vice President both in 1904 and
1893, and David d. Tompkins was
Vice President during both of
MOnrOe's terms.
John G. Calhoun was elected
Vice President in 1924, when the
election was thrown into the
House of Representatives, and
John Quincy Adams was elected
President by the historic alliance
of his friends with those of Hen
ry Clay. Calhoun was also Vice
President under Andrew Jackson,
who defeated Adams in 1928.
r. NJ. Johnston was twice a
candidate for Vice President with
Martin Van Buren, being elected
in 1886 and defeated in 1910.
Thomas A. Hendricks was a can
didate for Vice President with
Tilden in 1876, and again in 1884,
with Cleveland. He was elected
both times, but seated only once.
Mr.. Stevenson is the only man
who was ever nominated for Vice
President after an in interval of
one term from his occupany of
the office.
His election will break another
record.
