THE NEXT UNITED STATES SENATOR
In the City to Receive His Commission
but UIicOmmunicatiye.

The diplomatic representative of the GLOBE
was sent out yesterday afternoon to interview
Gen. Edgerton, who is presumed to have been
selected by Governor PiIlsbury to succeed
Secretary Window in the United States Senate.
The general was found in the public corridor
of the Metropolitan, pleasantly engaged i'll
apparently unimportant but enjoyable converse
with personal friends. After time suitable
opportunity offering, the GLOBE representative
accosted the general, and expressed his
desire for q few minutes talk. The
greeting had been in the generals usual
moderately cordial manner, but the suggestion
of an interview seemed to inspire him with an
earnest desire to escape. He had an engage
ment to fulfil Immediately. Without delaying
him the representative called his attention to
what had been said in the newspapers concern
ing his coming appointment to the senate and
to the pending purpose to induce him to
decline in favor of another. He had read the
papers and had heard something of the COM
mon rumor, but he had no official or formal
| information that the appointment would be
given him. The GLOBE representative assured
him that he had it from good authority that
the commission would be made to him, Gen.
Edgerton, tomorrow, and that it would
rest with him whether he should be Senator
or not. Their was mild look of surprise in
the generals eyes, as if he would, if he had
time, ask whether the governor would tender
him the commission expecting him to de-
cline it; but his haste to fill his engagement
was on his mind. and he hesitated Then he
said to the representative, courteousy but rap
idly. that he could not say anything then, but
would be gladto meet him tomorrow and
with that the general moved to Join his friends
in waiting for hack.

THE FUNDING BILL AND IN EXTRA
SESSION.

One of the chief reasons urged by Re-
publicans in favor of an extra session of
Congress is that the party cannot afford
to stand another campaign and fight it on
the issue of approval of Mr.. Hayes veto
of the funding bill. If the interests of
the Republican party is the only thing to
be considered in the decision of the CUES
ton, then an extra session of Congress
should be called without delay, and the
people taxed a few millions more to pay
the expense. But whether an extra ses-
sion of Congress is called or not, the
party will be obliged to shoulder the re-
sponsibility for the veto, much as it may
desire to shirk it,
The funding bill as it passed Congress
was distinctive Democratic measure. 1t
received no support, but rather
the most violent opposition,
from the Republicans 1t
was vetoed by Republican President at
the dictatlon of Republican bankers to
whom Republican Senators and Repre-
sentatives were most subservient through
out the discussion in its provisions. If it
had gone into effect it would have saved
the people seventeen million dollars
a year in interest alone, besides con-
tributing largely toward re-
ducing the principal of the public debt
The failure of the bill is directly attri-
butable to the efforts of the Republican
party. Without knowledge that he
would be sustained by that party Mr.
Hayes would not have dared to write his
veto, even to please the banks. How,
then, can the Republicans hope to avoid
responsibility for this great crime against
the people by means of an extra session?
They cannot obliterate their past record
in this matter yet they may succeed in
obscuring it by raising new issues that
shall in a measure overshadow it. This,
then, is their purpose. They know
that their conduct relative to the funding
bill would be emphatlcally condemned
by the people Of the country; that they
have nothing to say in defense of the veto
of so wise and ell-considered measure,
and therefore they propose to try to make
the people forget it by raising new
issue This will no doubt be the South
ern question, the last recourse of the
party when every other issue fails. An
attempt will be made to show that the
elections IN that section have been fraud
ulent, and to re-establish the terrorism
that for so many years prevailed in the
South. This will be the programme, as
indicated by Mr.. Conkling and other adj
vocates of an extra session. The Demo-
Gratis may have something to say whether
it shall be carried out or not.

THE GLOBE LAMENT.

1.-THE die seems to be cast and Gen. Ramsey,
who in the vigor of early manhood left his
Pennsylvania home to come west and grow up
with the country, appears to be out in the
cold. 1t certainly is not the fault of the
GLOBE that Gov. Pillsbury did not make him
senator. We labored with zeal worthy of a
better cause, and can only relieve our sur
charged heart in rhyme.]
AIR-AwnabeI Lee.
1t was many and many year ago
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a statesman lived, whom you may know,
By the name of Aleck Ram-sce;
And this statesman moved to the wilds of the
west
That he might by the GLOBE be blest.
He was young and green as ever was seen
In that kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more than
love
The GLOBE and its Aleck Ram-see.
And he sailed for his home in the western
cline
Where the GLOBE upon him could shine
And this was the reason that long ago
From the kingdom by the sea,
The favoring gales sent hither to us
Our beautiful Aleck Ram-sec.
The angels, not SO happy In heaven,
Went envying the GLOBE and he,
And that was the reason (as all men know
He came away from the sea.
But Pillsbury's Edgerton now casts blight,
Chilling and killing our Aleck Ram-see.
And when the moon beams, it will bring to us
dreams
Of our own dear Aleck Ram-see.
And the stars ne'er will rise but we'll feel the
bright eyes
Of our own charming Aleck Ram-see.
In the haven of rest, the GLOBE he will bless,
For with wisdom and genius his cause it did
press;
But all are bereft, and he's badly cleft"

SENATOR 4. j. EDGERTON.

1t was practically settled some days
ago that Gen. A. ]. Edgerton, of Dodge
county, would be appointed United States
Senator. Gov. Pillsbury intended to have
issued the commission on Saturday, but
Gordon E. Cole and gang of his
friends besought the governor to
delay until tomorrow Monday. The
reason for the delay was the hope
that dicker could be fixed up whereby
Edgerton would decline the Senatorship
and the Cole gang would all agree to
support him for governor "next time. %
Cole was sufficiently conceited to imagine
that Edgerton would be stupid enough to
make such trade, and Gov. Pillsbury
was prevailed upon to postpone issue of
the commission until Monday, to give

CHICAGO proposes to found memorial
of the fire that destroyed that city ten
years ago, the memorial to consist of a
great public library, elegantly and safely
housed between walls of granite. The
city might have had such an institution
years ago if the money sent there for the
relief of the distressed had been honestly
and carefully expended. 1t is not fact
calculated to inspire confidence that the
men charged with the distribution of the
fire-relief funds are also in charge of this
new enterprise. The public would feel
more like contributing if they could see
satisfactory explanation of the DISPOSE
ton of nearly million dollars of relief
funds that mysteriously disappeared some
nine years ago.
