Senatorial Service.

The New York Times, following its
review of the senatorial elections soon
to occur, advocates the retention in office
of men who have served their states
with ability and credit in the Senate and
points out how . in former times, when
the Senate was tile scene of great debates
and skillful efforts, if not of lofty
achievements, its prestige was due to a
few strong men who had the benefit of
years of training and experience on its
floor" such as Webster. Clay, Benton
and Calhoun. Massachusetts obtained
great influence in national legislation
by unquestiOningly retaining Sumner
and Wilson. The Times might have
added that the undue influence in Con-
gress of the South, prior to the war,
was largely owing to the well-established
rule of reelection of able congressman,
without danger from the small jealousies
of small men, such as afflict this state
for instance, especially in districts
where the rotary system prevails
in the counties that 60 to make
up a district. 1t is notable that
Pennsylvania has been weak in her sen-
atorial representation. 1t is 10 less no.
table that the principle of reelection has
been almost universally violated. If we
trace our senatorial representation from
1889 to 1850, it will be found that of
thirty-one men who have represented
Pennsylvania in the United States SEN
ate, only one, VIM. Maclay, ever served
two full consecutive terms of six wears
each. Simon Cameron has seen more
senatorial service than any other, hav-
ing been in office one full term and four
years each of three others. Had he even
been fitted by intellect OF training to
shed lustre on his state, his trading DO
litical habits seem to have led him 70 i'll
terrupt the continuity of his senatorial
service, and his son and successor mani
tests the same inclination. Daniel Stur-
geon and James Buchanan, each, we'll
nigh filled two successive terms, but no
other did.
Whether Pennsylvania got such a bad
lot that it was well to get rid of them
with single term, or whether her Incl
pient statesmen have been crushed by
early retirement. it is not necessary now

THE story that Senator Bayard's seat
is to be contested in the approaching sen-
atorial election in Delaware is without
foundation. The Democracy of all Del
aware are proud Of him and he will he
returned without opposition.
Delaware has three counties, each
with equal representation the Legisla
ture, though the upper, New Castle. has
more than half the population Of the
state. Its manufacturers are mostly
Republicans and their growth has
strengthened the Republican party in the
state. But under the Delaware consti-
tuition, "locked by John NJ. Clayton and
the key thrown away" 10 surplus of Re
publican strength in New Castle will rOl
the Democracy Of the preponderance
which their control of Kent and SUSSEX
gives them in the state Legislature.
From the story which the Wilmington
Erery Ereaing prints, it is to be inferred
that the Republicans tried to buy Suisse,
county this year, to get a majority in thu
Legislature and defeat Bayard. They
failed-expensively, as it were. The maj

Hen chickens perch must get up before

Bloody Crimes.

The wife of Samuel David was found
dead on the porch at Wynocke, near Pat
terson, N. j., on Sunday morning. Her
head was bruised, as if by club, and she
was covered with blood. There was also
blood inside the house. Her husband, who
is the son of a prominent lawyer of New
York, was in the house all night, but
"gave no clue to the tragedy"
Tobias Laughlin was shot dead and his
brother Daniel wounded in the lungs, by
James P. Flanagan, saloon keeper, in St.
Louis on Sunday night. The tragedy was
caused by the refusal of the Laughlins to
pay for drinks which they had taken.
Flanagan was arrested.

THE New York Times project of rails

make much headway. The rich men

great mass of the people make 10 sign.
Why should they : They give their pres
ident $50, 900 a year, and Mr.. Hayes has
shown that thrifty housekeeping enables
the incumbent to retire with about $780,

By the time the Republicans of Phila-

give rise to here. A speculator located a

short, SO many misdecds are charged upon

bic the head Of the police will issue an
order for their banishment from Partisan

DISCUSSING the future of the Demo-
cratic party Senator Bayard says: "Thc
Democratic party is the defense Of the
constitution. Its principles are right and
have survived many more disastrous de-
feats than this. 1t may be chastened by
accidents, mismanagement or the use of
bad methods in political warfare, and l
confess that cannot justify much of what
has been done on both sides during the
recent contests. But the Democratic
party will outlive all this, for principles
do not die.''
1T is we'll known that the letter e is used

alphabet. The following verses contain

Ofany buXom fair,
Who mocks his pain and thinks it gain
To quiz his awkward air.
"Quixotic boys who look for joys
QuiXOtic hazards run:
A lass annoys with trivial toys.
Opposing man for fun.
"A jovial swain may rack his brain,
And tax his fancy's might:
To quiz is vain, for it's most plain
That what say is right"
MOODY said lately that he was tired of

A Curious Calf.

On farm two miles from town
there is a calf that surpasses anything
for deformity we have ever seen. It
IS more like buffalo than bovine.
and has little resemblance to a bear
1t has six distinct and separate hoofs
on each foot-the front ones are per-
fectly formed, while the others are
drawn under like the claws of a wild
cat, though not near so small 1t
stout In the shoulders, and its front
knees are nearly twice as large as an
ordinary calf of its age. To see it
standing directly fionting you, its
head and face looks very much like a
bear but from Tie side it is like buf
falo- There is considerable rise on
its wethers, and its back goes down
with a taper of about four inches to
Its IONS. 1t never bleats. and when
1t was driven up and put with the
other calves, they acted towards it
like It was some wild animal. The
hair on it is one and a half or two
inches long, and is curly ike buffalo.
1t has become gentle, though first at
the least noise it would jump up and
appear wild In moving it has a shuf-
fling gait like bear Neville South
Georgian.
