but he makes up the time at night.
The reorganization of the Senate In
December will be made quite interesting
by the acquisition of the eight senators
from the new born states, and their clas-
sifcation. Under the constitution the
Senate must be divided as nearly as may
be, into three equal classes, the terms
expiring two years apart, from one class
to another The terms OF the senators
in one of these classes will expire in 81,
O. the other in 90 and of the third in 49, d.
The new senators are each elected for SIX
years, but they cannot all come into the
class of '95. Two only of them can en-
ter that class; the rest will have to suf-
fer shortening of their terms, some to
two years and some to four. At present
there are twenty-six senators whose
terms expire in '95. In each of the 9th
er classes there are twenty-five senators.
Three CT the new senators will have
terms expiring in 81; three in '93 and
two in 'C5. All three of the classes will
then be even.
There is no law by which to determ-
inc which of the new men shall have
short and which long terms, and prec-
edence furnishes but one means of set
thing the question. When the United
States Senate was first organized the
question was decided by lot-drawing
straws. When Colorado was admitted
slips of paper were numbered and put
into a hat to be drawn by the two SEN
ators to decide their fortune. Senator
Teller then got term of but four or
five months because the term of the class
with which fate cast his lot had almost
expired. This seemed like i'll luck, but
by a paradox it was quite the reverse.
By having term that expired SO soon
he was thrown back upon the same
legislature for reelection, and so got
two terms, long one and very short
one. Some such thing may happen to
some of the new senators if in any case
the Legislatures hold over for two years.
However, they will have to trust to luck
for their assignments. r.
