THE republicans will have majority
in the United States senate till March 4,
1887. Even the election of democrat in
Illinois to succeed Logan would not have
prevented that, though it would have
been an important aid in overcoming the
republican ascendency little less tn an
two years hence. Logan will be sworn in
at the next meeting of congress, and the
senate will then stand forty-two repub-
licans and thirty-four democrats One
third of the senate, as near as may be,
changes every two years. Those whose
terms will expire on the Sd of March,
1887, are:
REPUBLICANS. DEMOCRATS.
Miller, California. Gray, Delaware.
Hawley, Conn. Jones, Florida.
Harrison, Indiana. German, Maryland.
Hale, Maine. George, Mississippi.
Dawes, Mass. COckrell, Missouri
Conger, Michigan. Fair, Nevada
Mcmillan, Minn. jackson, Tennessee.
Van Wyck, Neb. Maxey, Texas
Sewell N. j. Camden, W. Va.
Miller, New York.
Sherman, Ohio.
Mitchell, Penn.
Aldrich. Rhode Isl'd
Edmunds, Vermont.
Malone, Virginia.
Sawyer, Wisconsin.
Sixteen republicans and nine democrats
60 out in 1887. To obtain a majority
thereafter the democrats must hold the
states they have now and gain five sena-
ators from other states. In the democratic
list Nevada IS the only doubtful quantity.
If the democrats lose that they must gain
. six from republican states. Their great
est hopes for this gain mnst be in Con-
necticut Indiana, New Jersey, New
York, Ohio and Virginia. California and
Wisconsin also present possibilities The
margin is narrow and delicate one at
the best and the Illinois democrats can
take solemn view of the effect of theil
performance, or rather lack of perfor.
nance, when they allowed q democratic
legislative district to go republican at 9
special election. The majority in the
senate is the prop which holds the repub
lican party up, and 1t is an impediment
which possibly explains, in part, at leas
the moderation with which the democra +,
ic administration proceeds TO take pos
session of things. The republican party
however, appears to have no issue OF
principle to present, and unless it speedily
recovers from its loss of the presidential
election it must go to pieces, even while
it is in control of the senate.

A few years ago the dress OF a star" was

It was exhibited and blazoned away in the
newspapers as the most attractive feature of

that however, has been relegated to the past.
