yer Of experience and ability, having
studied under G. j. Faulkner, in

that time he has been an active, en-
ergetic and fearless. expounder of

The great and historic deadlock in
the State Senate is ended. It took
one hundred and twenty-six ballots
to do it, but, on the final ballot, r. S.

following Republicans: Campbell,
Davis, Furbee, Lowther, Minear,
Scott and woodward, assisted by Ar
buckle, Gettinger, Knott, McAllister,
Oxley, Prichard, Sweeney, Vanpelt
and Yeater, Democrats. Whether
the wise thing has been done or not,
time will disclose. We are content
to abide by the Judgment of such
level headed men as Lowther and
Scott. This paper criticised Senator
Cars course two years ago severely,
and the Senator has not demonstrated
any good will in return. But there
is a question in our mind, in the alb.
sence OF possibly more specific infor-
nation, as to whether some of the
strict, orthodox $50 called) Republ,-
can Senators haven't been guilty OF
perverseness and obstinancy which
would prevent any other settlement
than an absolute surrender to THEN
own terms. 1t was a condition and
not a theory, which confronted us
