THE last Democratic United States
Senators from this State were Daniel S.
Dickinson and John A. Dix, both of
whom have, since the Republicans came
into power, held Office under that party.
When Silas Wright was elected Cover
nor in lS44 he resigned his seat in the
United States Senate, and Gov. Bouck
appointed Henry A. Foster as his sue
cessor. When the Legislature assem-
bled in January, 1916, that body elected
John A. Dix to serve during the unex-
pired term of Mr.. Wright, and Dickin-
son was elected at the same time in the
place of Tallmadge. Mr.. Dix was in
the Senate until the 4th of March, 1s49,
when he was succeeded by Mr.. Seward,
Mr.. Dickinson was in the Senate until
March 4, 1851, when he was succeeded
by Hamilton Fish. Since then every
United States Senator from this State
has been either Wing or Republican. -

COlOnists for Alaska.

The cruise of the United States
steamer Portsmouth among the Alaska
islands and for the purpose of ascer-
tanning if any of them are fit settling
places for the Icelanders who are now
disconnected colonists in this country,
is ended successfully, the Danish COM
mission having returned TO San Fran
cisco. The Island of Zodiac has taken
the Danish eye, and much of its land
will doubtless be pre-empted by the
Icelanders. Their greatest wish was
for an even climate, and not only is the
island perfect in this respect, but it has
abundance of fine pasture lands its
streams are thick with trout and sal
mon its bays with cod its forests and
marshes are filled with game, both bird
and beast. Several fur agencies are
established on the island, and large
income is obtained from traffic in pelts.
Two tribes of Indians now abide on the
island. They are the Aleuts and Koyu-
kuns, but from long contact with the
Russians have almost lost the original
blood. The tribe last named are, in
appearance, low-sized, heavy-set fell
lows of copper color, with the broad
fiat face and prominent cheek bones OF
the North American Indian. The Aleuts
are more intelligent and clearly. They
live principally upon fish. They are
quite friendly, and will gladly welcome
kindly disposed colonists. The Ice
landers for whose benefit the voyage
was made are now in Wisconsin, and
will soon be moved to the island.

The Chicago Times publishes a full
expose, with diagrams, ETC., of the
swlndling game called Bunko," into
which so many unsuspecting victims
are trapped in that city. If there are
degrees of infamy in gambling games,
this one is probably the most nefarious
one ever invented. The Times strongly
intimates that some of the city authori-
ties are in league with the gamblers,
and that an organized conspiracy exists
there for the purpose of plundering
strangers. It hints at q vigilance CON-
mittee as a possible remedy.

THE Arkansas V. V. Smith is o son of
Delegan b. Smith, who went to Iowa
from New York in 1916, and remained
there till 1852, when he went to Oregon,
where, after several years prominence
in politics, he in 1859 was elected Sen
ator of the prospective State, but died
in 1860.
THE statement that the last Demo
cratic Governor OF Massachusetts, was
elected in 1889 is an error. George S.
Boutwell, was first elected by the Demo
Gratis in 1851 then by the Coalition in
1853, which reelected him, sent Charles
Sumner to the Senate, made Henry
Wilson President of the State Senate,
and Banks Speaker of the State Legis-
lature.

Harmless NettIes.

1t has been ascertained by accident
that, Immediately after strong wind,
nettles are comparatively harmless,
Some French laborers, having occasion
to work in field infested with this
noxious weed, on day succeeding a
wind-storm, found that they could han
die the nettle with impunity. Their
sting had lost it's virulence. Nj. Maui
din, in explaining the occurrence, states
that strong wind stimulates the ex-
halation of the poison in the stings
of the nettle, and after time the entire
store secreted by the plant will be COM
pletely exhausted. Sdch was the case
in the instance recorded. The truth of
the statement is supported by the fact
that, eight days after the gale, the net
ties had refilled their sacks of poison,
and were as vicious as ever.

get rid of the visitor. 1t was a very
pious thought too. The couple were in
the parlor at IL o'clock one night, and
the rest of the family were in the sit
ting room very sleepy. The old man
invited the couple to join in family
worship, and asked the young man sol
EMMY TO read chapter from the family
Bible. He was obliged to submit, and
stammered through the chapter. At
the close there was a pause-and then
the old man asked the reader to lead in
prayer. This was more than he could
stand. He dropped the book, seized
his hat and bolted for the front door.
which was quickly bolted after him.
The young man walked TO the first rail-
road station out of town and waited for
the morning train. He has since had
no call to Savannah, and there is not so
much worship in that house as for
merly.

POLITICAL Notes.

Nehemiah Perry seems to be the only avaia-
hle Democratic candidate for Governor of New
Jersey against Judge Bedle. Hon. Charles
Haight, of Monmouth, and Governor Parker are
candidates for the United States Senate.
1t il the opinion of the Boston Commonwealth
that Mr. Talbot will be nominated by the Repub-
licans for Governor OF Massachusetts,, and that
he can carry five thousand more votes than any
other candidate and that he will be elected by
at least twenty thousand majority.
New Jersey now has delegation OF six Re
publiclne and ono Democrat in Congress, and
the Republicans ale confident Of holding their
own and gaining United States Senator IN the
fall. In the Fourth district, Colonel William
Hamilton, Democrat, will probably be reelected.
The salem Gd.eite says it is the general i'm
preston in the With Congressional District in
Massachusetts that Gen. Butler will be candi-

fFrom the Daily Republican, aug. al
prenariug 10 Bolt.

The editor of the COMMERCIAL on Saturday
discussed the expediency OF separating National
and State issues from municipal analrs, ana
quoted the opinion of the st. Louis Democrat,
that great reforms will soon follow the adoption
of such a policy. We cannot understand the
motive that led to the publication OF this homily
unless it was promoted by desire to prepare the
wav for himself and others to bolt tue Republican
nominations for Council in the Seventh Ward,
and to vote for the candidates on the independent
ticket particularly as he highly commends the
course of Mr. Candy, whom he says deserves
the thanks of the community aud triumphant
endorsement at the hands of the voters OF the
ward which he has SO faithfully and honestly
represented
honest in the course he has pursued, but we do
aay that he is not more honest than his eollea-
gues, and as proof that he was wrong and they
were right III regard to the construction OF the
embankment for the new reservoir he frankly
admitted that he had changed his views OF the
expediency Of having this work done by contract
the experiments in other places having shown
that it could be better and more reliably per-
formed by the day.
THIS endorsement which the COMMERCIAL urg-
es implies censure Of the course Of Mr.. Phil
lips aid tia. Of the entire Council. We hold
that they have not done wrong, that they have
acted judciously and properly, and therefore
hope the Republicans OF the Seventh Ward, VIII
not be influenced by the advice of ourneighbor IN
| tnis matter
The friends of the course pursued by the ma
| iority of the Council favored the denomination
| of Mr. Candy for the one-year term, but hlh
| friends insisted on presenting candidate Ill
place of Mr.. Phillips, and hence the opposition
that was engeudered to the proposed arrange
ment.
The fact that Mr. Candy presents himself as
a candidate for the two year-term brings the
Issue squarely on he approval or disapproUal o.
the policy that has been pursued in regard tt
the basin, and tho voters of the Ward must re
member that fact.
The editor of the COMMERCIAL may desire Il
ceusure the Council but we do not suppose th'
citizens of the ward can so stultify themselve
as TO heed his advice.
His argument in regard to the expedency o
separating municipal affairs from State polite
amounts to nothing. movement Of the kline
could only be temporary and the benefit likely Il
follow very doubtful at the best 1t is the re
sort of the defeated aspirant who hopes to ac
