"Our House Of Lor<is.


 Tho sale of the Ohio Senatorship to Mr. Payne, of the Standard Oil company, is an other step in the change by which the upper house of the national legislature is being made into club of millionsires and 8 for tress of monopoly. There are 76 Senators, and recent census of them shows that not less than 20 are millionaires, while enough more are the representatives of millionaire corporations which can be helped or hurt by the action of Congress- to bring up the num- Der who may be properly styled millionaire Senators to fully half the whole number There are, in other words, sufficient number of Senators who are miliionaires in the flesh or the spirit to control the action of the body and make it @ matter as much of difficulty to get from 1t measure of reform as to obtain anything of the kind from the British House of Lords. The Standard Oil company nov has two Senators-Payne and Senator Camden, of West Viriginia-who not long ago openly defended this monopoly in the North American Review in an article the strong and correct English of which was in strange contrast with the usual speech of its assumed author. The Union Pacific rail- road has several Senators, the Northern Pacific has one, the Pennsylvania railroad has two, Central Pacific has two, the Geor- gia railroads have one, the lumber monopo- lists of Michigan and Wisconsin have two or three, the Chesapeake and Ohio has one, the Wilmington Match company has one. Be- hind every one of half of the portly and we'll dressed members of the Senate can be seen the outlines of some corporation interested in getting or preventing legislation, or of some syndicate that has invaluable contracts or patents to defend or push. Twenty or thirty years ago the Senate was composed mainly of brainy poor men, and it's leaders were Clay, Webster, Calhoun, Benton. Sum- ner, Ewing. Cor in, Douglas, Trumbull. Fsssenden, Wade, Chase, and the like. Nov the Senate has no leaders and larger and larger proportion of it's members are million

aires who buy their elections from their State Legislatures for the purpose of acting as the attorney of some sinister interest or of crowning the ediice of their huge possess ions by the glory of a seat in the American House of Lords. Once great men went to the Senate to work for their principles and ideas; now rich men go there to work for their interests or to air their purses. The room that once rang with the periods of Webster and Sumner, Clay aud Calhoun, and Chase and Douglas is now stupefied by the predatory and platitudinous essays of the defenders of monopoly land grants, mo- nopoly taxes, monopoly contracts, monopoly opposition to all reform and investigation It results from the plutocratic character of the majority of the Senators that the Senate is becoming. like the English House of Lords, 8 merely obstructive branch of the government. It was in the Senate last year that the worst jobs were introduced into the tariff bill. It was the Senate that resisted as long as it could the passage of the Civil Ser vice bill. and which has been relied on inn plicitly and successfully to prevent the for feiture of land grants, or the enactment of any laws for the regulation of the railroads, or the incorporation of postal telegraph, or any other means of popular need or bene- it. The English House of Lords is the bull wark of one monopoly-that of the land but the American Senate has as many mo. nopolies intrenched within its lines as 1t has members. At the present rate at which pluto crsts are buying their way into the Senate it will not be many years before the common people will have no representation in it what ever. We will have House of Lords as much verse than the English House of Lords as the pride of purse is mora ignoble and more despotic than the pride of blood and rank When that consumnation is reached, we can do no better than raise to them the magnificent song of rhythmic sar- casm which Swinburne recently sang to the House of Lords:
 sEYou are bays
 Taat not the dawn-s plebsian pearls bedew:
 Yours, laurels plucked not of such hands as Hovs
 O!d age its chaplet in Colonns' grove.
 Our time with Heaven and with itgAlf at edds
 hakes all lInds else that seethe and boil; Blu you5s Is yet the and wine and oil,
 Ind yours our worskip yet. LoIGls Gods"

The Chicago Tribune gives summary oi deaths from accidents and crimes in 1883, and the record Is very melancholy one. The number of lives lost by accidents is put at 125, ,ooo, including 65,0Oo cholera victims; over $40 for every day in the year. Three great earthquakes, in Ischia, Java and Syria. contributed very largely to this, and there was unparalleled loss of life from ship wreck, mining disasters and fires. In this country the causes of ,773 deaths are class flied thus: Tornadoes, 509; boiler ex- plosions, 194; fire, 369; powder explosions, Al; floods, 13o; mine explosions, 1e6 ; lightning, 75; snowslides, 55 fali of build inRs, 134. There were about 100 wrecks on the great lakes, in which 200 lives were lost,
 and about 2,500 were drowned on the ocean.
 Deaths in this country by railroad accidents numbered ITS, against 62o in 1882. The murders reported in the United States and territories numbered 1,697, and there were 1o7 hangings and 135 Iynchings. Fifty four southern negroes were hanged and 39 lynched. Ike lynchings were distributed thus: Tex as 26, Montana 15, Mississippi 14, Tennessee and Arkansas each 8, Georgia 6, Dakota 5, Alabama Kentucky and Alaska each 4, South Carolina, Indiana, Nebraska, Louisiana, Iowa and Colorado each 3, Kansas Michigan,

Ladies' White Underwear.

During this week We shall open three con- siderable lots of new White Muslin Under wear for ladies. Two of these lots are from the same factories that supplied us last sea son, and the goods are as well made as they were before, and are lower in price, because of the less cost of material, both the muslin and the embroideries being cheaper than in 1883. Along with these we shall offer job lot of garments, some of them little soiled, some with imperfections in the sewing, or other small defects. Now it is needless for us to say that we would not buy lot of goods like that, unless we got them very. very cheap indesd. It would not pay us to do even the necessary talking about such lot, unless the prices would speak for them selves, and that plainly. The prices on this lot do SO Step in and see them, any time after Wednesday morning of this week.

Long Calls. rFro,, 4bA Atlantic NonKbIv

It is not always wise to make rule that no
 one is to ba admitted during the evening; on the contrary, 8 guest may be heartily wei
 eomed, if it is known St ths outset that he
 has come in fer short time; that he is
 cheerful and friendly, and amusing, and, in
 short, worth listening to and entertaining. But the i'll concealed gloom that settles down upon ono tired face after another, while the clock strikes the sHcceedicg half hours, and
 each member of ths family in turn comes
 despairinsly to the rescue of the faltering
 con seEsatIon, is 8 deplornbla thing. We are responsible for the state of our oonsciences,
 and if we have allowed them to become so
 dull that they do not give us the unmistaka
 bic warning to go away, then we must not
 fret if we are warded of, dreaded and called
 bores. I was delighted to hear some one say
 not long ago that she did not think she had q
 right to spend two hours at 8 time with n
 friend without special invitation, since 1t
 could not fail to be an interruption, ard it gave joy to my heart that ons person so re- spected the rights of others. Picture some one who has assured himself that he is not likely to find amusement under his own roof setting forth in search of Q more agreeable
 place to spend the evening. He hunts from door to door; finding that one family has honestly paid it's money and gone to 8 play, invited guests, while at the fourth he is met at sight with the information that the ladies are engaged. Perhaps at the fifth he gains an entrance. One person rises hurriedly from the sofa; another puts down her book with eigh; another comes reluctantly from g desk, where some notes and letters must bs written st some time during that evening, and the stricken group resigns itself to the demands of friendship and society. The master of the house returns presently to his avocation with 8 brave excuse It may be o'clock when the guest comes; it may be 9, and he may be kind hearted and unobjec- tionable he may even be profitable and en- tertaining; but he stays until about 10 ; every body thinks that he never means to go, and inwardly regrets his presence. For half an hour he could have felt sure of welcome; in that time he certainly could have said and done all that was worth doing, and have been asked to stay longer, or to come again soon when he took his leave. There is no greater compliment and tribute to one's in- teRrity than to be fairly entreeted to sit down for ten minutes longer. Of course we treat each other civilly in an evenings visit, but it is great deal better to come away too soon than to stay too late. In busy, over worked and over hurried city life, nothing is so precious as a quiet evening to one's self, or even party of one. We all wish-or ought to wish-to make life pleasant for ourselves and other people, and ready to be generous even with our time, but no ono likes to be plundered and defrauded. It is the underly- ing principle to our neighbours action and conduct toward us which makes us thankful or resentful when he comes to visit us

Silks.

We were told the other day that Messrs.
 So and So were selling ALL their silks 'at
 cost price.' This was rather alarming, as
 we would not like to sell our silks at cost price, and you know, we have never in the past ten years allowed anyone in New Haven to undersell us in:this department. Fortu- nateIy we had an opportunity to investigate the matter, and were quite relieved to find that after all our Silk Gin this instance, at least, was really cheaper, that is. better value to the cust omer at the price than the other which was sold ''at cost" So we con- cluded that the ''cost" in question must be something different from what we call cost Of course Silks bought year ago have to be sold to-day at or about cost price, or even less. as there has been decline in the mar ket fully equal to the profit usually taken on staple silks. Such losses we promptly accept and keep our prices abreast of the times.

 The career of the late Mr. Holloway. of London, the renowned manufacturer of pills and ointment, was an interesting one, and il- lustrates, among other things, the value of advertising. He began his business in small way on the Strand, he and his wife living over the shop and doing all fheir own work. His first advertisement appeared in a news paper on October l5, 1887.
