ones. Therefore, he has occupied himself during his visit to his old home in getting the message ready for final revision.
 It will be quite a lengthy document, and a great portion of It necessarily will be de- voted to the Philippine question. The President will give many interesting facts reported to him by the commission headed by Judge Taft, and prominent officials here believe he will be able to say to Congress that the islands are at least in a pace ful condition. This belief Is founded on the confidence of the administration officials that fighting will cease immediately on the news of the reelection of Mckinley
 The strong condition of the treasury will also form one of the leading topics of the message, and upon the state of the Philip pines depends the recommendations as to the reduction of the war revenue tax. It is expected that with the withdrawal of large part of the army and it's mastering out of the service, the war taxes can be re- dueed' $4O, GOO, GOO or $50, O,0O0 0OO a year.

LETTERS GOT EXCHANGED.

Senator Chandler of New Hampshire is known as one of the most exact and pains taking of men. He rarely makes mistakes, and has little patience to spare for those of others. But the willy and careful Sena- tor was recently guilty of a blunder which caused him much trouble 10 rectify, relates a writer in Success It was nothing more or less than exchanging envelopes upon two letters written about the same matter. The story, as related by his dear friends, run meth thus:
 Once upon a tme Chandler received invitation from Senator Frye to go up to one of the Maine lakes and enjoy a spell of hunting and fishing. Politics would, of course, come up during the quiet evenings. Senator Chandler had other plans, and thereupon he indited two letters, one to his wife, which ran to this effect:
 My Dear Lucy-I have received an invi- tation from Frye to go up with him into Maine for hunting and fishing trip; but I shall not accept Frye is a temperance crank and never has anything for himself or friends to drink and, therefore, I have got out of the thing as diploma tically as can. There Is not much enjoyment under the circumstances" The letter then ran on 10 detail Otner QOm6SIlc cOHHueHCtS
 The letter received by Mrs. Chandler ran merrily along these lines:
 My Dear Frye-I received your invita- ton and am very sorry that I cannot ac- cept. You know Mrs Chandler is very dis agreeable about such things and so l must decline. Some other time when I can get up good story to justify the fun"
 The first intimation which Senator Chan dler had of his error was an indignant mis- sive from the wife of his bosom, berating him for his ungallant conduct in holding her up to his friends as a disagreeable | woman.
 | Senator Frye, fortunately for Chandler, 1 held his peace, as he did not know whether or not the epistle was loaded, and fancied that the contretemps might be merely one of Chandler's little jokes, which would have l an ending disastrous to intermediates The | truth of the matter is that Senator Chan 1 dler is just as much a teetotaler as his conferee from Maine but the other Senators who have heard of the affair are chafing 1 him unmercifully.

House of Representatives.

The House included when it adjourned last summer 1855 Republicans 159 Democrats and members of other parties. thus giving the Republicans IS majority.
 It is very difficult to say how the House in the Fifty-seventh Congress will be polit- ically divided, but the chances are that the Republicans have gained Congressmen in Ohio, Indiana, New York, Pennsylvania and Maryland-about two in each state. They may have gained a member in Cali fornia But they have lost a member in Alabama, another in Texas, and probably one in Missouri. The indications, therefore, are that the Republicans will control the new House by q majority ranging from 25 to 40
 IL is a singular fact that this administra- ton has controlled both houses of Congress from start to date and as the new Con- gress will hold until 190S 1t will have the advantage of a friendly Congress, and will be held to full responsibility by the people. It can throw none of the responsibility up- on an opposition Congress. Ii must stand or fall by its acts which will be the acts Of the Republican party.

Drift of PnhIic Sentiment.

The student who is watching political currents will turn away from the clumsy and misleading electoral tables to the pop ular vote, and when this is ascertainel in about weeks tme he will compare it with the vote in 1896, and then he will be able to say what the tendency in this coun- try really is. For this purpose he win also need the Debs vote, and all the rest of the eccentric list.
 In 1896 Mckinley received 11O7S22 votes Bryan received, on two tickets, Coll ,o75 votes. Out of a total vote of 1I.O73,2S5, Me Kinley received a clear majority of 2S4,7d His plurality was 5S6,7l7.
 These are the figures that must be met and studied this year, and we will not know what the drift is, or its extent and scope until we can do this. MT Mckinley has been reelected, but whether his ma- jority is less or greater than 1t was in 1896. no man can tell. For this we must await the slow compiling of accurate and official figures. We add table that all should put away for reference against the receipt of the full returns The popular vote in 1896 Was as follows:

not help him at all. He is as obdurate after victory as after defeat. He is never respected, and after election, never feared Altogether the lot of a boss Is not a happy one. Their plans are carried through with difficulty, their promises often go unful- llled. They fall out with one and another and then honest men get their due. They cannot hold together, and sooner or later the people tire of their usurpations and down ant out. They go unwept unhonored and unsung.

THE CENTRE OF POPULATION.
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
 One curious revelation of the new census is that the center of population has moved but slightly since ten years ago, and 1t will require a nicer calculation than is yet possible to determine whether it has moved westward or eastward For d long period it had been steadily moving westward, and by the last census it was found to be little west of south of Greensburg in h. diana. By this census it appears that the states wholly west of the longitude of that point have increased almost precisely the same as the states lying wholly east of it, about 6,000,000 each. The remaining ,325, 600 increase Is in states which the meridian passes through, and not until the increases in tho east and west parts of these are determined, will it be known what and in what direction the change is. The eastern and western halves of the nation appear to be increasing in population with remark able evenness It is possible that the north ern or southern movement of the center may be greater than the eastern or west ern movement and perhaps it will be found that the movement is really farther from the center of ten years ago than is now thought probable.

Bosses Not in Demand.

The Boss Americanus has ruled the land ever since the days of early summer but he can rule it no longer, at least not without a struggle on his part for all his accumulated enemies will attack him, now that the need of a vote-getter, or, rather, a vote handler is no longer felt The pressure is lifted, and the security and peace of the boss Is correspondingiy threatened. The lesser and local bosses throughout the country will not so much feel the change as will the great bosses in New York, Chicago and Washington-the Platts and Crokers and Hannas of the land.
 The boss Is peculiarly an American insu- tution, and it is very plain that no other country wants him or would tolerate him. He it is who has reduced politics to the commercial basis, taking toll as he does from legislation, as well as from offices and contracts. He assesses all, and his cor ruption fund is as much a part of our po- litieal system as Is the government itself
 It Is the boss who dictates after the elec- ton the course of the administration, for his promises must be fulfilled. If he has assessed annor-plate makers, after eec- tion his promises in that respect must be carried out, or rather the wishes of his contributors must be met. And so it is with hundred other heavy enterprises. We mention armor-plate as an example only. The work of the boss reaches on af- ter the election Is ended.
 But powerful as he is, he is not above censure, and from the closing of the polls he begins to reap where he has not strewn. He begins 10 see what accumulation is in the line of personal enemies. Victory does

CASTELLANES ON GOOD TERMS.

Paris Correspondent in New York Tribune.
 Henry Cachard, counsel for the Countess de Castellane, whom I saw this evening, says that mutual agreement was arrived at last July in Paris by the Gould and Cas- tellane families in purely amicable way to obtain a judicial council for Mime. de Castellane, and this is the first instance on record of a foreigner being appointed in such a capacity by a French court. Count and Countess de Castellane continue on the most affectonate terms with each other, and it was the Countess herself who took the initiative in seeking "conseil judciaire. All debts will be paid immediately by the Gould estate, with the exception of a few claims from antiquity and bric-a-brac deal CTS, which are deemed absolutely exorbi- tant.

kentucky Court Says Note for Insur-

Louisville, November "A verdict for $50,O0O was returned in the Circuit Court in the suit of J. H. Higginbotham, admin istrator of M W. Johnson, against the New York Life Insurance Company for policy of the amount given in the verdict.
 Johnson was an agent for the company and lived in Garrard County, Ky. In July, 1896, he took out a policy for $50,000, it is alleged, giving in payment note.. The in- surance company contended that this note was never paid, and that on Johnson's ac- knowledging he could not pay it, the note was returned to him, destroyed and the policy cancelled. Johnson's administrator claimed that the note was accepted in whole or in part as payment by the company.

IOtul ...... ...................,5
 The clear control of the Senate makes the control of forty-six votes necessary, and the Republicans must, therefore, get sixteen votes from the list of Senators who will be seated on March next. The Re- publicans are sure to elect Senators in Maine, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Illl- nois West Virginia, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Min nesota, South Dakota and Oregon--thir- teen in all. They need three more, and they may get one in Kansas, but it is diff ficult at this writing to see where the other two are to come from for Montana has been carried by the Democrats, and Utah is presumably Democratic, and the Demo- crats are said to have elected a ma ajorty of the Delaware Legislature. The fuson- ists have carried, it is believed, the Ne braska and Colorado Legislatures. No news has been received from Wyoming, but it has gone presumably Democratic, as no doubt has Idaho. All In all, the Republi- cans will find it difficult to secure a clear working majority in the Senate. They will have a plurality but not a majority, unless further returns change the com p,exion of the last two States.
