N THE HOMIE srnErcH.

This week concludes the active cam
paigniRg Of the political parties. One
week from to-day the people will go to
the polls and register their verdict as
between the Rough Rider and the
Judge. One week from tomorrow
morning the country will know wheth-
er for four years more it must sit in
uncertainty on the brink of a volcano
likely to erupt at any moment, or go
about its business in the assurance
that affairs in Washington are in
charge of a man whose safety and san
! ity are unquestioned and who will be
guided by the constitution and the
laws in all of his dealings.
AS is customary at the beginning
of the last week of the campaign,
numerous estimates of what the out
come of the balloting will be, Have
been made public. How valuable these
estimates are will be more apparent
next Wednesday morning than they
are at present. Secretary Urey Wood
son. of the Democratic National Com
mittee, says every one of the doubtful
states will go for Parker, and that
he will be elected by a landslide bal
lot. The New York Tribune claims
for Roosevelt 314 electoral votes as
certainty, comedies Parker 151 cleo
toral votes, and says that only Mary
land and Nevada are doubtful. The
Brooklyn Eagle has made a postal card
canvass Of New York and reaches the
conclusion that Parker will carry that
state by not less than $4,000 major
ity. Nor is that all. 1t says: 1.-THE
logic of the figures is that there is
to be a change in the party auspices
under which affairs have been admin
istered at Washington. That such a
change is now impending the Eagle Is
now convinced. 1t is sincere in the be-
lief that Alton B. Parker will on Tues
day of next week be elected Presi-
dent of the United States" The New
York Herald's forecast is, Roosevelt
257 electoral votes and Parker 1859, with
eighteen additional votes, probably
Republican" three, probably Demo-
cratic" and New York's thirty-nine
votes doubtful" The Herald thinks the
Democrats will win in the state election.
Chairman Cowherd, of the Democratic
Congressional Committee, estimates
that the Democratic party will elect 225
members of the next House, thus Civ
ing the party thirty-one in excess of a
quorum and a majority of sixty-four
over the Republicans. On the other
side, the Republicans are claiming a
larger membership in the next House
than they have in the present one.
And thus it goes. Nothing is easier
than to make prediction claims. The
reader must form his own
opinions with respect to what the out
come will probably be. Meanwhile it
is certain that the Parker sentiment
has been wonderfully strengthened dur
ing the past two weeks. and that before
Saturday night is reached the betting
odds on Roosevelt will be much less
than they are quoted at now. Judge
Parker is making magnificent race.
He has not erred at a single point, but
has always done the right thing, at the
right time. His chances of winning
are decidedly better now than ever
before, and they have been good from

According to newspaper reports Mrs.
Henry w. Magee. a social leader of
Chicago, on Saturday afternoon ten
dered a reception to seven white and
eleven colored women. The servants
who waited on the black and white
guests with equal Difference were white
girls, superintendent by the daughter of
the hostess. The guests sat at the table
together and after the dinner had been
served mingled together in the parlors
and chatted. Later, says the report,
the members of each race made little
speeches, breathing love for each other
and hope for closer social. business,
and political relations" We confess
that this function is surprising to us,
even though it was rendered by pro-
fessed admirers of the negrophilistic
President and in city where his
party declared at it's convention for
social equality by having a small negro
boy and a little white girl stand on the
platform together waving the flag
Despite this, the very shamelessness of
the affair is shocking and there is no
doubt but that it will carry disgust to
all sensible and thinking men and
women who read Of it, 1t is fanaticism
gone mad; shame unshamed; a sui
cidal, methodized, madness! Well may
shocked public exclaim with Antony.
oh Judgment, thou art fled to brut-
ish beasts and men have lost their rea-
son.

KITTEN AROUSED DOGS JEALOUSY.
From the London Daily Express

From the London Daily Express.
A curious instance of dogs intelli-
gent jealousy is reported from Liam
ishen.
A happy family there consisted Of
lady, cat, kitten. and Yorkshire
terrier. All four were on excellent
terms until the terrier took umbrage
at attentions which its mistress be-
slowed upon the kitten.
The terrier straightway began to
dig a hole in the garden, and finish
ed it's task to it's satisfaction In three
days.
Then the kitten disappeared. A
search was made, and as the terrier
was seen patting down the earth over
a hole which ii had refilled, the soil
was removed, and the kitten was
found to have been buried alive.
The dog was punished, but it took
the kitten to the grave again, and the
following day took it to a ditch and
left il there.
