MONTANA.

When the Senators from the new states
appeared on the floor of the chamber, there
was a certain eccentricity about them that
excited interest, and everybody noticing the
absence Of the Montana Senators, became
interested in the game that was being play
ed By the Republicans in that maiden
member of the Union. The Democrats had
the House. and the Senate was tie,
but the Republicans had succeeded
in "snaking the game" so to speak,
in one district which goes by the poetic
name of Silver Bow" If it was not in the
Z" Songs of the Sierras," or some pretty lay
by joaquin Miller, the Republicans sue
ceeded in getting it mounted in history, foi
the way they have tried TO count out the
members from "Silyer Bow" has made
Ouay's ewes ill with sympathetic tears and
sherman almost shed a pearly drop
ON the pages of that bill against the sup
preston Of the colored vote. But when the
telegraph announced that it was "drawn
game, that is, the Democrats would have
one senator and the Republicans one, in
stead of two.-the eNpectant statesmen
who had been counting two chickens before
they were Matched swore that it was worse
than hearing that Iowa had gone Demo
cratic.
PAN-AME RICAN CONGRESS.
The TIMES was inclined to view this great
show and diplomatic pantomime as junket-
ing scheme, when its route was marked onl.
ON the Western map, and the most impor-
tant point dedicated an advertisement for
Haberdasher Wanamaker.
Buteyen oracles must at times change
their opinions if the circumstances change,
and the oracle "lligh Authority" has de-
clared that the great =. \. c. combination
will make a special tour through the south.
One may "wager dukedom TO a dinner
that sherman will attempt to have his out
race mill with the excursion, IN order to
counieract any good impressions, and as
most Of the Pan-Americans do not speak
English, we look TO hear Of some diabolical
trick whereby our progress" and our re-
sources arr 10 be misrepresented.
Two Of the notable events in the Senate to-
dov were the introduction of Mr.. Blair's
bill for temporary aid to public schools, and
a ioint resolution proposing amendments TO
the constitution allowing woman suffrage
and prohibiting the manufacture and sale ol
alcoholic liquors.
FOR THE SUPREME BENCH.
The nomination to-day Of Judge David
Bremer. of Kansas, for the Supreme Court
vacancy. relieved the minds of many who
feared that Attorney-General Miller would
be- the man. lie is fifty-two years old, and
is a nephew of Justice Field, under whom
he learned the law.
BUyFALO BILLS INTERESTS ENDANGERED
II is the proud boast of Representative
Dorsey, of Nebraska, that he numbers the
most distinguished citizen in the United
states among his constituents. The great
man i'm question is the Hon. William +.
Cody. known 10 the world as Buffalo
Bul' and now delighting the crowned
heads of Europe with his Wild West
Show. Consider, therefore, Mr.. Dor
sey's state of mind when he was
Informed this morning by the Commissioners
of Indian Affairs, that he would feel II his
duty 10 refuse has consent to the annual re.
newal of the contract by which Buffalo BIZ
secures the services of the three hundred
Sioux Indians, who constitute the great
feature of Bills show. No piece OF
news going out Of Washington to
night will interest more people,
and, ia Mr.. Dorsey's opinion, Nebraska
will stand on It's hind legs aud bowl oyei
such an inexcusable act. IL is contended
for the defense that Bills red men are the
only American Indians Of the present gen
eraton who never get drunk, tight or steal
and that every one who returnshome will
