On bright summer day my companion

reached the shore and landed, and were
wondering what had become of the hosts
of birds. we found the ground burrowed
all over with holes that looked like COM

they were the entrances to the nest

large enough to permit the birds to PATS

WASHINGTON, d.. O., December 81
The absence of so many Congressman,
who have gone Go Indianapolis to attend
Mr.. Hendricks funeral, causes lulu in
the discussion about the selection Of q
President of the Senate. The Demo
cratic Senators win meet in caucus on
Saturday night, when it Is supposed
they win decide to nominate Sem
ator Harris, of Tennessee, for Presi-
dent pro tenn. The Republican
Senators are to meet Friday evening, but
who win be their choice is as much a
matter of doubt as ever, although the i'm
preston seems to be growing that the
outcome win be the selection of Senator
Edmunds for President pro tenn.
Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, expresses
the opinion that Senator Logan could be
chosen the President of the Senate be-
fore he was sworn in and the Ferry
precedent in, 1877, is. taken for the
ground that he could be sworn in before
an election and then chosen Is is
said that the following Senators
have already signifed their intention of
voting for Logan: Allison and Wilson,
of Iowa; Cullom, of Illinois; Sawyer, of
Wisconsin; Congers Of Michigan; Plumb,
of Kansas, and Van. Wyck, of Nebraska.

Our Delegate, Mr.. Voorhees,, is at
present busily engaged doing the Terri
tory. / have no doubt he is on q mis-
sion Of information. Since his election
to office he has been at his post of duty,
and TO certain extent has been labor
lag under peculiar disadvantages, too.
Upon that one great question-forfeit-
ure-he has no doubts as to the wishes
Of his people. Upon this question they
are unit. Bot he has duties to per
form in a line in which the people are
not a unit by any means. But so far as
his constituents of King County are
concerned an opportunity is about at
hand for the gentleman to inform him
self thoroughly as to the allotment of
the spoils
Now, Mr.. Editor, it is, as you we'll
know, but a question of time when
every Republican official in eur Terri
tory will be proved an offensive parti-
san" and that is Just what they are. /
can hear some of my Republican
friends ask for proof positive, but IN
der the circumstances, aeiRhbor, the
assertion should be sufficient.
Nov, where all things are equal, Mr..
Cleveland will undoubtedly favor our
people when supplying us with federal
officers, but IL is quite certain he has no
intention Of putting himself out q par
ticle to decide for as our choice among
a number of candidates. II our agent,
Mr.. Voorhees,, is not able to advise him
as to the wishes of his own people, the
President sees at once an opportunity
of forwarding as some Anticipated poll
tioian from ths Dismal swamp, or a
" handy man" from the Five Points, or
q Pennsylvania Avenue political wart.
Here is the place, aad nov is the time
to settle all such affairs, and il is to be
hoped when Mr.. Voorhees, returns to
Washington he will be prepared to say
to the President. Ny people are q unit
on all questions"
There is another way Of looking at
this matter. 1t Is not for Mr.. Voorhees,
to decide who 10 the man for this or that
