VERY CLOSE CONTEST The New York "Herald'' lias issued a report of the result of its lirst canvas of the political situa tion. The ''Herald's" activity in making oleetion forecasts is well known, so well known, in fact, that it is not necessary to say that they are made honest ly and without any view to influencing the wobbling voters. It is, in short. just a form of newspaper enterprise in which the "Herald'' takes great pride and in which it is quite as successful as any other expert observer. Its ante-elect ion estimates there lore are always interesting and as in the present e mtest its are practically the only figures that have been given out from any source that gives them ad ditional interest to the general reader. At the opening of the campaign a Republican authority estimated that there were eighteen sure Republican States with 2uo electoral votes; fourteen mi e Democratic States with toil votes and thirteen doubtful States with 117 votes. Ihs Republican States were: California, Illinois, lowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Ne braska, Now Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Ore gon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Vermont, Wash ington and Wyoming. Ilis Democratic States: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Lousiaua, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. The States in his doubtful column were: Colorado, Connecticut, Deleware, Idaho, Indiana, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin. Since the State conventions in New York that State has been conceded by all impartial observes to the Democrats and out of the twelve remaining the "Herald" has reports from ten. Idaho, West Vir ginia and Indiana it estimates will go Democratic, thus bringing the sure Democratic vote up to 223. Utah, Delaware, New Jersey, Wisconsin and Mon tana it considers liepublican, and that brings the conceded Republican vote up to 234. It has no re port oil Nevada or Rhode Island and it considers Colorado and Connecticut as doubtful. These four states have nineteen votes, and the winner will have to get three of them. This certainly draws the matter lo a mighty line point and the strain upon the managers at the two party headquarters must lie of the insomnia producing kind. It is pretty safe to say, however, thi'.t Tom Taggart is suffering less than Corlolyou. lu the lirst place he has the more sanguine tempera ment and in the second place he stands a better chance of making way with a majority of the States upon which the great contest promises to turn. A MODEL PUBLIC PAPER. Senator Davis' letter of aeeoptancc of the Democratic nomination for Vice President reveals the conservative'mind of a capable and experienced business man. It is brief, pithy and pointed and after observing that the "public mind is being dis illusioned of the false pretence of the Republican party "that the material prosperity of the country depends upon ils own ascendency," he reverts lo the wasteful extravagance of the Roosevelt admin istration and amplifies the figures quoted in his speech of acceptance on that subject. Senator Davis doesn't complain that expendi tures of government have increased in the aggregate with the increase of population. That is natural and reasonable. But he complains that the per capita expense has multiplied from 82.0l in 18(>0 to ?7.11 hist year and the cost of maintaining the army has increased from 810,5(10,00(1 in 18(10, when the vast Western border required constant patrol to secure protection front the Indians, to 8115,000,00(1 last year, when there was no greater use for troops than a possible disturbance at some Sunday school picnic. Following the lines laid by Judge Parker in his admirable letter of acceptance, Senator Davis ap. proves the Panama canal piojeet but deprecates the sinister manner by which it was begun, lie is equally clear in denouncing imperialism, excessive tariff taxation, inimical trust organizations, the re cently aroused race prejudices and fraud in tln; public service. He expresses coniplet confidence in the "courage, character and discretion" of his as sociate on the ticket, Judge Parker, and altogether his letter is a model public paper. THE COST OF FOOD It cost the people of the United States, on an average, *'!4. VI per head for food in |.s!J7, w hen Republican rule began at Washington. This year it costs ?52.68—an increase of over 51 per cent. In other words, it takes £1.51 to buy as much food now as a dollar would buy seven years ago. A man earning a dollar a day was better off then, as far as that part of his living expenses went, than one earning 51.50 a day is now. And according to Commissioner Wright, of the Department of Labor, food absorbs over 11 per cent, of the total expendi tures of the average family. The increase of 817. *7 per head in the cost of this item represents an increase of ss!t.3<; in the ex penditure of the ordinary family of live. Adding £IS.IIB for the enhanced cost of clothes, we find that a workman's wages have to stretch 8107.44 further now on two necessary items of expense than they did in 181)7. CHARACTER STILL COUNTS IN POLITICS President Roosevelt said in his telegram of condolence to Senator Hoar's son: "The loss is no! yours only, but of all those who believe in the lofty standard of purity, integrity and fearlessness in public life." Former President Cleveland said: Ilis ability, his highmindediiess and his freedom from political trickery furnish an example of a useful life which may well be imitated by all those intrusted by their countrymen with public duties." Secretary Tuft said: "Not in years have we had in public life so noble an example of the old Puritan stock." I hese tributes arc from men whose policies in some instances Senator Hour vehemently opposed. I hey convey their lesson to every young man atnbi- I ions to make a name for himself in public affairs. Character still counts for something in American politics. DODGING THE MAIN ISSUE- In New ork, where CMellism is the paramount issue, th", Republicans wish to discuss national iptcs tions to the exclusion of State questions. In .Massa chusetts, where reciprocity is the chief issue, they wish to discuss State questions to the exclusion of national questions. In Colorado and Missouri they are for national issues against State issues. In Illi nois, where there is a popular Republican candidate for (tovernor, they prefer local issues. Everywhere it is a campaign of evasion. Several hundred life-preserve*, sold to the U. 8. gov ernment liy a linn in Camden, N. .1., have been found to contain an iron bolt six incites h>ug in each, concealed within tin' compressed cork block.

Hut over there girls of twelve are considered of full marriageable p.ge, and it is not at all uncommon to find wives of six or eight or ten years. When a proposal ol' marriage is made the father of the young girl is applied to, and the following style of answer is considered stylish and elegant: "1 have received with respect the marks of your goodness. The choice that you deign to make of my daugh ter to become the wife of your son shows that you esteem my poor daugh ter more than she deserves. My daughter is coarse and stupid, and I have not had the talent to bring her up well. Vet I shall nevertheless glory in obeying you on this occasion." This Is the proper and accepted mode of reply. But, fortunately for the girl wives of the east, individuals are Lofton kinder than the law itself, so that a family is often bound together by hap py and cordial relations, such as could not exist If a man really felt his wife to be coarse nnd stupid.

COST OF LIVING Figures Juggled by the Administrn tion Officials to Sustain Its Policy und Credit. As an Illustration of how figures may be juggled to prove most anything: that is desired, Carroll D. Wright, Com missioner of Labor, who prepared a report on the cost of living, which re port is being used for campaign pur poses by the Kopublican committee, gives a few comparisons to bear out his contention that the increase in food stuffs has been on the average in considerable. A comparison is made between the cost of butter and vinegar. The for mer, It Is shown, has increased in price 112.9 per cent, and the claim Is set up that this increase is overcome by the decrease of 88 per cent, in vinegar. Dy comparing these two articles the cost of living remains stationary by setting a 12 per cent, increase la the prioe of buttor against a 12 per cent, decrease In the price of vinegar, yet the butter bill of tho average family must bo fifty times as great UiS the vinegar bill. In Mr. Wright's table on fuel and lighting we find that the average price han risen to 139.8. This table includes a number of different kinds of coal, caudles and petroleum, also coke and matches. Coke and matches show a decrease in price, while all the others show an increase: Increased in price: Anthracite coal, chestnut 137.7 Decreased in price: Matches 85.4 Average for both articles... 111.5 Which goes to show that the co3t of fuel and lighting has not increased a great deal, although many men will think that the decrease In the price of matches is kardly a fair set off against the increase in the price of coal. HOW PRICES HAVE INCREASED. Concerning the alleged "statistics" furnished from the National Bureau of Labor and given circulation by the Re publican Campaign Committee with a view to showing that the average wages earned in comparison with the cost of living is equal to, if not greater than under Democratic rule, a few figures may not be amiss. It seems to be an uncontroverted fact that wages have not increased within tho past ten years to any per ceptible degree, and tho "statistics," prepared under the direction of 1. >n. Carroll D. Wright, admit that the cost of food has increased approximately a little over 5 per cent. In his figures, Mr. Wright submits a table showing prices which have in creased and those which have de creased. In the column of increases the commodities most essential and there fore mostly used appear, while in the opposing column, many of the articles enumerated are by no means neces sities. The table follows: increased in price: Flour 104.5 Butter 112.9 Codfish 318.fi Cheese 121.6 Potatoes 126.2 Beans 130.2 Milk 127.5 Eggs 191t.6 Average price 129.3 Decreased in price: Soda Crackers 90.5 Vinegar 88.0 Dried Apples 72.8 Prunes 07.8 Nutmegs C 7.1 Soda 04.6 Kice 87.0 Corn Starch 03.0 Average price 7,9,91' ALMOST SELF PRAISE. Coming somewhat in tho light of a man endorsing hiH own note, or felici tating himself, is a letter published recently in Paris from the pen of former Minister Bunau-Varllla, sus taining President Roosevelt's course in the Panama coup. Inasmuch as Minister Bunau-Varilla was Mr. Roosevelt's guide and ally in the snap judgment taken upon the Re public of Colombia, and inasmuch HISO as he was one of the chief beneficiaries under the whole transaction, he could hardly do less than applaud the act ppp*r * FRICK TO COLLECT FUNDS. A special telegram to the New York World, from Pittsburg, says: "Henry Clay Frick has been ap pointed the financial head of the Re publican campaign in western Penn sylvania, the object being to use him to secure financial aid from the manu facturers of this section." The man who made this appoint ment, if anybody did, is George B. Cortelyou, who WAS Secretary of Com merce (and presumably the chief Gov ernment hunter for trust secrets), and IS Chairman and chief fat-fryer for the Republican National Committee. SOME INTERESTING FIGURES. Enthusiastic Democrats are deriving considerable pleasure in figuring over the recent Democratic gain in Maine. The returns show a Democratic gain of 30 per cent, and a Republican gain of IB per cent, over the vote of 11102. Similar changes elsewhere would give New York to Parker by a plurality of 87,000, New Jersey by 5,000, Rhode Island by 0,000, Maryland by 32,000, Nebraska by 8,000 and Utah by 300. These, with the States carried by Bryan in 1900, would be exactly enough to elect. In addition, Delaware, West Virginia and Indiana would be In doubt if these percentages of gain were to prevail. WEST VIRGINIA ALL RIGHT. Gen. J. W. St. Clair, of West Vir ginia, at the Waldorf to-day, had this to say about his State: "West Vir ginia will surely cast her electoral vote f«r Parker and Davis," The Modern Child.
