III United States Senate now stands
40 Republicans and "a Democrats. There
are two vacancies. That from Oregon is
certain to be filed by Republican, while
it is yet very doubtful what the result in
Illinois viii be. Grant for the present
that Gen. Logan viii be appointed-the
Legislature failing to elect Senator-the
Senate will stand A. Republicans to "a
Democrats. Lhis is q majority OF s, and
to get control 81 the Senate in 1887 the
Democrats win have to gain Senators.
With the Forty-ninth Congress the
terms Of twenty-five Senators expire.
Nine Of these are Democrats-Grey of
Delaware, Jones of Florida, German of
Maryland, George Of Mississippi, Cockrell
OF Missouri, Fair of Nevada, jackson of
Tennessee MaXey OF Texas, and Camden
Of West Virginia. The Democrats can
count pretty safely on electing Democrats
from all Of these States except Nevada.
The terms Of sixteen Republican Senators
expire at the same time-HawleY Of Con-
necticut, Harrison of Indiana, Hale of
Maine, Dawes Of Massachusetts, Conger
Of Michigan, Mcmillan Of Minnesota,
Miller Of California, Miller of New York,
Sherman Of Ohio, Mitchell Of Pennsyl-
yania, Aldrich of Rhode Island, Edmunds
Of Vermont Malone Of Virginia, Van
Wyck Of Nebraska, Sewell of New Jer-
sey, and Sawyer of Wisconsin. OF
these, Maine, Massachusetts,, Mime
sofa, Nebraska, ONO, Pennsylva-
mia, Rhode Island and Vermont may be
~ ta Ia
Indiana and Virginia are pretty certain
to elect Democratic Senators. The States
Of Connecticut, Michigan, California,
New York, New Jersey and Wisconsin
may be set down as doubtful. These, in
Guiding Nevada and Illinois, make eight
doubtful States, out of which the Demo-
Gratis must gain four Senators.
In the Presidential election in 1884.
Connecticut, New York and New Jersey
went Democratic, while each Of them
elected a Republican Legislature, and
Michigan went Democratic in the recent
State election. Now that the Republi-
cans can no longer count on the power of
the administration and the great army of
Federal officials, the Democratic chances
in the doubtful States are immensely i'm
proved. With anything like proper
organization and effective work in the
State elections the Democrats are almost
sure to get control of the Legislatures of
all the doubtful States, except perhaps
that of California.
In order to make the necessary gains to
obtain control Of the Senate in 1897, the
Democrats must be united and make a de-
termined fight. The Democratic admin
istration is SO conducting the affairs of
the government that it cannot tail to
strengthen the party, and the prospects
for a Democratic majority in the next
Senate are fattering.

There was a scene in a Fourteenth street
car short time ago that did not reflect very
creditably upon one of the actors therein.
That actor was young naval officer of the
genus dude. The car was crowded. People
were swinging on to the straps. Among the
swinging ones were several ladies. Only two
men were seated. One of them was the naval
former was talking very pompously. He was
next to the fare box. A lady entered. She
worked her way up toward the box. With
difficulty she got a nickel out of her pocket.
She handed it to the dudes friend. who in
turn offered it to the dude. Did the latter
take it and deposit it in the box? Not much.
He leaned back, put his thumbs in the arm
holes of his vest, and looking the lady full in
the face. said: "The lady owes me nothing"
He is q great man.

A Turn of Tide.

From the Springfield Republican.

More sad she seemed, but with a sigh
Soft drawn she family said once more,

Should loves tide ebb and ehb for aye?
For, see. again upon the shore
Whence waters rolled with sulen roar,

Another Great nTvslerv.

From the PhjladeLpb5a Telegraph (ReD.)
What does this mean? In the list Of the
Presidents daily callers the names OF Repub-
lican Senators and Republicans constantly
appear. Certainly it cannot be that these
gentlemen think it incumbent upon them to
''pay their respects" daily. Such a state Of
affairs is a decided innovation. When Repub-
lean Presidents occupied the executive chair
Democratic Congressman rarely appeared be-
fore them Oftener than once a year. Can it be
true, as intimated with such confidence in
certain ''inside" circles IN this city, for in
stance, that the President is to be deceived or
dragOOned into appointing only "DemOcratic'
friends of Republican Senators? There is a
great mystery here that VIII presently attract
national attention. We shah see what we

Mrs George W. ChilGs is said to have the
finest collection of table china in the country
Her dinner plates include Sevres, Worcester,
Derby, Dresden, liiutOn and Copelands: no
two, as a rule. are alike, and each is gem.
Many OF her plates have cost several hundred
dollars a dozen. She gives orders to people OF
experience to be on the lookout for very rare
specimens. 1t is said that for dinner OF %
persons Mrs. Childs can without any difficulty
set table the decorations of which alone VIII
represent an expenditure Of $4,000 or $4,000.

Dividing the Oolored vote.


The administration can maintain favor
able attitude toward their rights and their
claims to protection when protection is need
ed, and 1t can no doubt produce an effect upon
the conduct of its chief supporters among
whom the colored people live, but it depends
m inly on the Democrats of the South wheth-
er they will divide the colored vote by accord
ing fair treatment to all classes in their own
political action. 1t is certainly to be hoped
that the present administration will witness
the disappearance of race questions from ma
tiOnal politics

A young lady of Lincoln street, who had
been followed by a loafer one evening last
week, was at last accosted by him with the
question, Are you from sunbnry?" NO"
she replied, PPM from Turbut township,

staggered and satisfied him. After reaching
home she discovered that her hand and sleeve
were somewhat crimsoned with claret, from
which she concluded that she had left her
mark ON the impudent felloM's phiz.

The English Lifeboat Service is said to
have saved 633 lives and Is vessels during
the past year. Shore boats, manned Boy
volunteers, saved lj9 more in the same
time. In estimating the number Of peo-
pie whose lives are saved all who are
taken of wrecked vessels are usually
counted. The probabilities are that the
majority Of such persons would escape
without the aid of the rescuers. such
statistics, therefore, should be taken with
a grain Of allowance.

Gen. Lawton's DccIension.


The declension of the Russian mission
by Gen. Lawton will not be a surprise to
those who know that gentleman. He has
all along urged the President to consider
the questions growing out Of the
connection Of his name with
this important mission without refer
ence to himself personally. There
can BE- little doubt that the President
would have appointed Gen. Lawton-in
fact, it is known that mt the Cabinet meet
ing Saturday the question was definitely
settled that he should represent the
United States at st. Petersburg.
Gen. Lawton appreciated the compli-
ment paid him by the administration. ana
while it would, perhaps, have been much
against his private interests, he
would have willingly accepted the
place had il not been likely
that the issue as TO his eligibility would
have been raised again in the Senate. ma

been led by partisan influences II not by
conviction, 10 oppose lis confirmation.

President should be embarrassed on ac-
count OF his appointment. however well
