The democratic congressional com mittee, with headquarters in the Metropolitan hotel at Washington, hae recently summed up the situation as to members of congress, and reach d conclusion that they will have a majority of ten in the next house of representatives. This estimate con cedeS loss of three or four members in Pennsylvania, in which state the democrats now have ten members. X slight loss also in New York state, where the democrats now have ma. jority of the delegation. These losses however. are more than compensated. according to the democratic figures, by gains in the south, including one from Virginia, two from North Caro- of the 56th congress, when the state was accorded only two republican members. and one from Texas, besides several acceSsiOns in Michigan Iowa, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Maryland, possibly Minnesota and certain other western states. The democrats at the Washington headquarters have all along been confident of the next house but their confidence has increased very materially during the last two or three weeks, during which time they have received detailed reports of the situa- ton.

 because ] thought it good invest ment. have been buying and selling stocks for years, and expect to con- tinue doing so. And why does Roose- welt make me and other democrats who were interested in the company the target at whom his explosives and and denunciationS are leveled: Why does he not attack the republicans who are h. tereSted in the ice trust? The officers and directors of the ice trust and many of the stockholders are re- publicanS and personal friends of Roosevelt. In fact. they are the very men who were responsible for nomi- nation and election of Roosevelt as governor and for his nomination as vice-president. Why doesn't he at tack his friends, who created and maintained the Ice trust, and who alone were responsible for the advance in the price of ice? Why does he harp on the ice trust anyhow? As Mir. Bryan says, the ice trust is purely local affair, and is not a national issue at all. The Democrats are engaged m a bitter and warfare against all trusts, but it seems that Roosevelt can see no harm in any save the ice Urust.'

look for Illinois to go demo cratic, but they are determined to use the Onley incident as means of reinstating the club in favor with the party. and making showing which will be use tul in the future. The real purpose of the club in bringing Olney to Chi caeo is to launch presidential boom for the eminent New England lawyer. His letter of Sept. is looked upon by western democrats as the "Olney Platform" for 1901. His forthcoming address is certain to be an elaboration of that letter, especial stress being placed upon the chapter relating to the dangerous development of Ameri- can commercialism at home and abroad.

It makes all the difference in the world whose OK is gored. It wasn't so long ago that Mary Elizabeth Lease was held up to ridicule in pro,e, verse and picture by the republican papers of the west. Now that she bas ilopped over to the republican side she is a paragon of political virtue. For in stance, the Omaha Daily Bee. report ing her appearance at Broken Bow, Neb., says:
 Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Lease deliv- cred an eloquent address here this evening to large audience, making grand, successful and brilliant open ing of the campaign in this section of the country. She spoke for an hour and half, holding her audience in strict attention while she discussed the issues in forcible and eloquent manner.
 This is the very different Mrs. Lease from the one who used to be lam pooned in the republican newspapers. In the same way, Senator Stewart of Nevada, who used to be the butt of all manner of fun because of his devotion to Bryan and the crime of '73, is now held up tO view in the west as q states man of the purest ray serene.
