No UNITED STATES SENATOR has yet
been elected by the legislature An
attempt at compromise was made last
week by the selection of a committee
composed of twelve from each faction
who were to select and report on a can
S1idate. The person receiving two
thirds vote in this committee was to be.
the candidate of the party and to receive
the united support in joint convention.
So far the exertions Of the committee are
fruitless though they have ballotted q
number of times. The Beaver men
however seem to stick to the idea that
compromise means that "the other fell
lows'' shall yield, and so vote most of
the time for Beaver. Having withdrawn
The candidate for which the people had
expressed decided preference, it would
seem as though there should be no
trouble in selecting man that would
be acceptable to the people and credita-
bic to the State, but yet the dead lock
now, seems to be as strong if not
stronger than ever.

toms attending trichina poisoning.

TUESDAYS ELECTIONS show that the
Independent voter was out in full force.
In Pittsburgh the citizens ticket for
Mayor, beat the Republican, and in
Reading the case was reversed, the DEM
ocrats being beaten by the independents.
In Philadelphia the citizens ticket was
elected, King for Mayor beating Stokely
by about 5000 majority, and Hunter for
Tax Receiver, having a much larger
majority. These elections are in neither
case to be classed as party victories.-
Col. w. B. Mann one of the great lights
among the Republican politicians in
Philadelphia says:
g regard this result as proceeding in
great measure, not from the exertions
of the Committee of One Hundred, but
from the deeply grounded dissatisfaction
of the masses of the Republican party in
reference to the boss system of making
nominations, and 1 believe that the
same people will beat any man hereafter
who may be nominated by the bosses,
no matter how pure or competent he
may be. 1 have always expressed N.Y.
self decidedly to the effect that the only
way to preserve the Republican strength
in Philadelphia and to perpetuate it is to
open the nominations to all, and by a
system of honest delegate elections,
where Republicans shall not be per-
mitted to cheat each other, the favorite
of the masses may be nominated. City
Committees should be organized to pro-
mote the election of the nominees of the
party, and not from year to year to
create them."
The whole secret of the disaffection is
shown in the last four lines of the above
quotation.

Burt reviews the reputation of Shakespeare with Englishmen of the sev- enteenth century. s. H. Kellogg discusses the Jewish question of modern Europe and incidentally mentions the Jews who have risen to great prominence in learned and ideal pursuits. It is remarkable record T.

O. E. Lyman tells the story of the anti-rent troub- les in the interior of New York thirty or forty years ago. Stephen Rensselaer,, the last of the "patroons," died in 1883, when the anti-rent agitation began. MT. Lyman thinks the New York experiment good pre- cedent for Ireland W. M.
