AIRMAN MTCINLBY, ot the Republican Congressional Cam palgn Committee, makes confident claims of victory in the coming elections. He predicts a Republican majority In the next National House ot Representatives and, In. answer to the declaration of Chairman Lloyd ot the Democratic Committee that "this Is a Democratic year," says that it is characteristic of the opposition to assume this hopeful attitude in mid summer and to be disappointed in November. Mr. Lloyd, the Democratic chair man, bases his hopes or success on the supposition the Democrats are united while the Republicans are dl vided.

He will have reason to revise his opinion as the campaign pro gresses. The differences existing in the Republican ranks in some of the western states are mainly, as to de tails. They are not Irreconcilable Insurgents and regulars, so called, are not in accord with regard to the disposition of certain questions, hut both are Republican and in the else tion they will be found working to gether for the success of the party. All who claim allegiance to, the Republican party are convinced that the election of a Democratic majority to the next Congress would be a se rious detriment to the country. Even thinking Democrats, who are not wholly blinded to their business inter ests by partisanship, must recognize this important fact Aside from the effect on politics the substantial interests of the nation de mand that the next Congress shall be In harmony with the administration ot President Taft and assist him in car rytng forward tne work he has so well begun during his first year in offlce.

R1 EPORTS from Nicaragua tell of depredations committed against American residents of that Republic by the soldiers of the de facto President Madriz, and the State De partment at Washington has given notice that the rights of citiiens of the United States, residing in that country, must be respected. In one instance it is stated that a party of soldiers serving under the Madriz government, "invaded the ranch of Alfred Scott, an American, Impressed his laborers Into the mili tary service, destroyed considerable property, and carried off a large quantity ot supplies. The announcement of this high handed outrage, which is but one of many others like it recently perpetrated by the emissaries of Madriz, caused the Slate De partment to issue an ultimatum to both factions in Nicaragua that American property must be protected. The situation has become desperate in Nicaragua and the country is bor dering on anarchy. The Madriz forces were recently defeated by the revolu tionists.

The American consul at Managua reports that the situation is precarious, and that monetary exchange has risen to 1,520 per cent The rule of Madriz has been ruinous to Nicaragua. He took power in opposition to the will of the majority, and, from the start, has been regard ed as the choice of the discredited Zelaya, who is now in Europe. The fact is Nicaragua is virtually without government and in the throes of a revolution that drags along at a slow pace. The alleged government is unable to suppress the revolution, and the latter does not seem able to over throw the government. As th! result of existing conditions there is great suffering among the people ot Nicaragua, and they would doubtless hail the presence of some strong power that would put a stop to the conflict, which is more like a protracted riot than a war.

After sauch aioay, it was announced, several montis so, that tte 'royal relatives of the duke, among whom are included the King of Italy, looked with ilsUror upon a match between a sckm ot Italian royalty end the daughter ot a wealthy American enactor.

It was than declared that the affair waa oS, and that the dlscon solate.Duke was going la quest of the North Pole or some other remote part of the earth." This seemed to dispose of the rom ance effectually, hut it didn't When everybody had about forgotten the In cident It turns up unexpectedly in the news of the day, and a diligent Baden Baden correspondent reports that "the Duke has visited Miss Elkins at Lan genschwalbach, bringing with him huge bouquet." If this is true the Duke's perservance is entitled to ad miration. We are told that "Love laughs at locksmiths," and it is just possible that it may be able to smile at royal edicts. Despite the story sent out by the veracious chronicler of the Langensch walbach Incident Senator Elkins denies the engagement of his daughter to the Duke. Washington society, how ever, views the West Virginia Senator's denial as a diplomatic statement and prefers to believe that the Italian court has capitulated to Cupid and abandoned its opposition to the match This international romance has its principal value as a midsummer news item. Novelists and publishers well know that summer fiction must deal largely in Jove stories, and enterprising correspondents who appreciate the saying that "all the world loves a lover," are equally keen to the fact that affairs of the heart have an at traction for newspaper readers during the summer solstice.

Especially ts this true when the hero is an Italian Duke, and the heroine an American heiress. A woman lawyer Woman Lawyer attempted to make Removed Hat. a motion in court before Judge Golf, of New York, the other day while wearing her hat. She was 'interrupted by the jurist after she had uttered "May it please Your Honor," and told to remove her hat. While the hat was being removed, the law suffered another delay.

PROMISE OF THE HARVEST. latest Government estimate of the crops is much more encouraging, than that of a few weeks ago. It is now ascertained that while the yield per acre is not as great as that of last year the total result will not fall very short, owingyto this year's largely increased acreage. The wheat crop is much better than the speculative statements Issued early in the season gave reason to expect, and the corn also will exceed expectations. Generally the firBt reports of the crops tend to excite apprehension.

They are usually Issued for that purpose and to serve the ends of those who thrive on the anxieties of the public. But as the season progresses and disinterested government experts view the harvest and are able to estimate Its extent, the fears created by the artificial pessimists vanish and" there is cause for the restoration of confidence. The large acreage under cultivation this year redeems the situation and holds out the promise of a bountiful harvest, despite the predictions of those who claimed early in the season that there would be a shortage of agricultural products. The farming interests of this vast country are keeping pace with Its great growth, and it is well that the increasing demand has stimulated an increase in the crop area which gives the assurance of an abundant yield. The city of Cleveland's Cleveland has Grade Crossings, taken up the sub ject of abolishing grade crossings in earnest.

The vot ers of that city have decided in favor of an issue of $2,000,000 worth of bonds to abolish the crossings, after the project had been twice defeated at the polls.

The approach of the city Institute is a reminder that summer is going and the city schools will soon open again. The institute precedes the opening of the schools. The teachers and pupils will take up their tasks with renewed vigor, after devoting the hot summer months to recreation. Many pupils will begin the year with the intention of completing their public school education, while scores of youngsters will receive their first instruction.

There is a large attendance at the public schools of Scranton, and the number ot pupils has increased greatly during the past several years.

Those who are urging the station emphasize the fact that there are 60,000 persons in that part of the city, and the necessity for the station exists.

And next I prayed for Strength: That I might tread the road With firm, unfaltering feet, and win The heaven's serene abode.
