Thinkine In Big Figures.

A prominent democrat Is quoted as say
ing yesterday after examining a revised
list of the new House: why, IT isn't so
bad. after all. The republicans will not
have more than fifty majority" Not more
than fifty. Fifty mere bagatelle!
In Pennsylvania che reformers. while dis
appointed, look upon the machine republic
cans as having squeezed through. The
majority Is only little the rise OF fifty
thousand. What sort of Endorsement is
that in a state where popular favor has
been accustomed to express itself in figures
anywhere from a quarter to half million
majority? As a result the reformers are
preparing to cut and come again.
The Texas democrats, with their beggarly
hundred and fifty thousand majority. are
positively apologize. They don't want the
country to think that they were asleep or
Indifferent Still awake. and still all wool
and a yard WIDE they explain that as the
primary had decided everything 1t was not
necessary for them to make demonstra-
ton in force. Never fear as to Texas. 1t
might be better to roll up the figures at
every election. but they are there all right
for presidential years, or for any ioca
emergency.
Governor Cummins. In Iowa with less thar
as II he appeared in pin feathers. He had
what Is considered close shave. The
standpatters insist that it was practically
a defeat They are trying to persuade
themselves that tariff revision really re
ceived a rebuke.
And look at Ohio and Indiana! Only
some sixty thousand in the one case, and
thirty-odd thousand in the other! Is the
spirit OF Chanticleer produced by such fig
ures? Not by a long shot!
All OF this has grown out of our recent
abnormal political conditions. For ten years
We have been thinking and acting in round
numbers of enormous size. The advent of
Organism threw everything Into confusion,
and all but paralyzed the democratic party.
Since then large republican figures have
grown larger, and small figures large. until
the figures that ruled In the earlier days
have lost their meaning.
1t will be good thing for the country
when we return to the former sense OF
things: to the necessity OF fighting hard for
everything we get; when a majority of
twenty In the House of Representatives
will look and be large, and a majority In a
state race of ten thousand will testify to
emphatic expression of local opinion.
Small majorities laboriously secured make
for better legislation and greater care on
the part of executive officers. When things
are all one way things are liable to go the
wrong way at times.

The troubles you've had, though they'r

The paitry prizes that We pursue
With a smile 1t sees US lose them!
Your heart is weary and sick anu sore,
And you count upon gloom forever.
But the sun Is as bright as 1t was before
And the sky Is as blue as ever.
The old world laughs at our petty strife,
Our boasting and desperation:
It smiles at the woes of humble life
And the fears Of g trembling ration,
Despite ambition that goes astray,
Aud despite fate's grim beguiling,
The sun keeps shining from day to day
