When a New York newspaper of
Sunday last printed rwo-column
story to the effect that not less than
s750,000 had been spent already TO
force the nomination Of Secretary
Taft upon an unwilling party nobody
in Washington was surprised. As a
matter of fact public men In Wash
ington thought that the amount was
underestimate. The estimates here
has been between 100000 and 5000.
600. Indeed the gossip is that even
the campaign made by the late Mark
Hanna for the first nomination of
William Mckinley did not approach I'm
lavishness of expenditure that which
is now being made to compel the nom.
ination of Taft. The Taft money
comes from his brother Charles Taft
who married an enormous fortune
and who by thriftily acquiring most
OF the public service corporations
Of Cincinnati has greatly multiplied
that fortune. That the Taft family
hope ultimately to amount TO some
thing great. The election OF William
II. Taft 20 the presidency would make
his brother the Mark Hanna of that
administration, ana his brothers $ char.
acteristics are of such sort that
oil hl hi Inn h9
would like greatly to be the power
behind the throne. Socially and fl
nancially he would greatly love %
be the man next to the admnistrI.
tion.
Today the probabilities are that
Secretary Taft will be nominated.
The bushels of money poured out in
his behalf are having their effect
In every state. Thus far the presi
dent has not shown any sign OF
open treachery TO the man whom he
! selected as his successor. And IT may
be doubted whether now even If the
president should attempt TO defeat
Mr.. Taft in the convention, it could
be done unless i'm a moment OF hys
terra. which comes occasionally Il
these great national conventions, there
would he stampede for Mr.. Roose
welt. As matters now stand Secre
tary Taft is the most probable nom
inee, and the hundreds of thousands =
| dollars invested by his brother II
his behalf will be multiplied largely
by funds contributed from Wal
Street to which he has been devotinl
his special attention in the last two
months.

The Anti.eryan campaian.

Certain newspapers are very mucn
inclined to accuse the democratic
party of nogation That is to say.
they insist that the party is always
against things and never for anything
OF course the charge is uufoundcd but
Il is rather amusing TO find the same
newspapers now pressing a personal
campaign for anybody but against
the nomination OF Mr. Bryan. The
only man whose nomination Is So
riously urged by the anu-Bryan news
papers is Governor Johnson Of Min
ncsota and four months ago he was
not heard Of But certain newspapers
and certain men who think that the
the control OF money means control
of politics are begging for any man
to be nominated in order that Bryan
may not be nominated

are now so excited? II is because they

Washington March Special
The present impression i'm congress
is that whatever may be the demand
from the white house for legislation,
congress will adjourn about the mid

houses say that IL is necessary to

senators may go back to their states
and attend to the political needs OF
their parties. II is asserted now
that the long session. coming just
before presidential election. must
not be used for the enactment of any

The Art of Being Chic.

The Parisienne may be said TO dress
we'll In the street but she is less elabo-
rately attired than women in other coun-
tries. says the Paris correspondent Of
Vogue" It Is essentially the indoor tri-
umphs in sartoriaI elegance which are
mostly coveted by her; whilst a prone
made costume Is restricted 20 simplicity. To
which. however. she generally manages
TO add a single note of elegance that
makes her particularly chic This single
note Of elegance on an otherwise plain
gown consisting of an ct cetera that
might well escape notice. gives the true
meaning OF the word chic. which is essen
TALLY French and difficult to translate.
There must be true harmony between
the wearer and the gown before a French
woman will apply her verdict Of approval
and pronounce the entirety tres chic A
great number Of women do not under
stand this when seeking a modish gown
in Paris Those who have best under
stood the meaning of chic applied to
harmony in dress are the American
women who regularly visit Paris. and
there are many who have proved superior
to some of the fashionable women OF
Paris. The American woman Is better
endowed by nature than a Frenchwoman.
