throughout the Eastern States has been great,

 A Collinsville man awoke at midnight thinking it was morning, and had a fire going and the teakettle boiling before discovering his mistake. So much for not having his wife make the fire.

 Aliquor seller ID Ansonia has been converted and he has given up his saloon and started a grocery. The local papers urge the citizens to patronize him to the exclusion of the mis- erable scoundrels of grocers who never kept saloon.

VACANCIES have occurred in the Of

they were filed:
When Vlce-President Calhoun re-
signed in 1882 the Senate contained
a Wig majority, Jackson beng

Hugh L. White, Of Tennessee, a
Wang, President pro tempore. In
1871, when General Ell arson died,
and Vice>Presldent Tyler, Wing, be-
came President, the Senate was
again Wing, and Senator Southland.
of New Jersey, Wing, was elected
President pro tempore. In the mean
time Dir. South ri, was holding that
ofice, died in June 1912, and the
senate elected Senator Willia Z.

ident pro tempore. President Tyler

became President, G ngress Was in

a majority in the Senate, elec,e |
Senator King, Of Alabama, as Presi-
dent pro tentpore- He served until

before tae mee lug If Congress.
Tne Democrats, beiug a majority in
the~Senate, elected Atcbison, Of Miss

Mr. King. When Andrew Johnson,
elected as a Republican, became
President in 1866, the Republicans
elected Senator Foster, Of Connect

will be improved and rendered more

producing only eight to ten bushels
OF wheat to the acre. about the
average in this section, the yield
ought to be twenty-five bushels per
acre, and this result is easily reached
on most Of our firms. There are
hundreds Of farmers who have two

THE ORGANIZATION OF THE SENATE.

The Democratic newspapers do not
take kindly to the scheme for the Or
ganizatlon Of the Senate who is
said to have originated with Senator's
Edmunds and Garland. They be-
leve in playing for all that is in sight.
To Go otherwise would, in their view
of the case, be yielding to an un-
healthy and unpardonab.e sentimen-
talism. The fast that there are three
vacancies, which cannot be Fl led IN
til a President is elected to admins
ter the oath to three Republicans
who are 10 fl them, gives tue Dem
ocrats an accidental majority, and
they propose to take advantage OF it,
il the advantage lasts no more than
one honr. If Senator Divis adheres
t, the views expressed by him
last spsing, VIZ: That the Senate
should be organized in har
mony with the Executive,
and Senator Nah ne votes with the
Republicans, as he then did, the Re
pub.icans will have it il their power
to elect President of the Sen tie as
soon as Senators Lapham and Miller
d, I
sworn in, but tn S viii probab Y be
no argument with those Demo rats
who believe that it is their dnty to
grab whatever presents itself, re
gardless of their ali ity to hold it
long enough to m 'ke it proftsble.
And this c'ass of Democrats are
cau'ioning their friends to beware
Of Senator Ednunds, whom they APP
pear to think is sly and d tngerous
man. His proposition, CT rather
what is reported as his propos tion,
remin Is the Nashville American
of the old story of, You
take the turkey and IL take
the deer, or I'll t.ke the
deer and you may take the turkey
The Am rican wants "deer, and is
afraid Of being trieked out Of it by
Ednnnds. It evidently thinks the
Vermont Senator is too sharp for the
Democrats, and wants him watched.
After all it is too much, perhaps,
TO expect Of the Democratic Senators
to yield in the presence of a slight
and temporary advantage, from any
consi Iteration. They have not been
sehooled that way. It is not in keep
ing with the tradi ions of the party.
Their maxim is: Keep what you
have, and get all you can
