It is strong, evenly divided between young, middle aged and old eiti zens, and from the bead to councilmen is one that the party can place before the voters <d' the cite with every assurance of a rousing big majority tit the general election.

Threats of bolting the tariff bill on account of the income tax amendment are heard on all sides, but. the party whip is being vigorously wielded and by Thursday, when the tinai vote is to he taken, it is probable that a sufficient number of “kickers’’ will he whippe I into line to get the ne listresity, income tax and all. through the house*. The vote that is dreaded most of all by the democratic managers, if there can he said to he any managers to the inharmonious majoiity of the house, is that on the motion to recommit the hill. The republicans of the house have not fully deeided how they will vote on that motion, hut they have been importuned hv manv intluential nieinlieis of the* party to support it, if it can he shown that a sufficient number of democrots will vote for it to pass it with tlic aid id' the solid republican vote, and they may do so. although many of them have expressed themselves against it because the result prolong the uncertainty as to taritl legislation, which has already been so disastrous to the business interests of the
country.

The day hadn’t been out of the ordinary, hut the evening was extraordinary. He was surprised! Not to he outdone by her neighbor, Mrs. W. F. Swahlen had a birthday Tuesday also, and it was agreed between the two fortuuates that the latter and het hushund should spend the evening with Mr. and Mrs. Mathias. In the meantime the triends of Mr. Mathias arranged to meet at the residence of Mr. Swahlen and all go across the street to spend , the evening. Kadi luctuber of ihe party took his or her own style of I rcfi't'shiuchts. and about eight' o'clock the onslaught began. With Mr. and Mrs. Swahlen in the van the party swooped down on the unsuspecting possessor of a birthday,
and he was surprised the orthadox style.
