The Council Bluffs bankers are a
eood-natured set of men, and they are
eager to get and hold business. AS a
result of their fear of offending custo-
mers, there has grown up careless,
shiftless manner OF doing business in
many details. The bank clerks are
called upon to do a great many little
duties which the customers ought to
perform, and to accommodate them
selves to great many little annoyauces
which might as well be done away
with.

An Honor Well Earned.

We congratulate the Republicans OF
Delaware-as we'll as all Republicans
upon the successful termination of their
senatorial contest.
The mantle of Eli Salisbury has fall
len upon worthy shoulders. and the
hereditary succession of political boss
ship, has been auspiciously broken by
an able, worthy, and honored man OF
the people.
There is a fitting and timely propriety
in the bestowal upon Anthony Higgins
Of the first fruits of Republican victory
in Delaware.
Through long years of discourage
ment and defeat, he has with undaunted
courage, and bold assertion OF his prin-
ciples, borne the brunt of the battle in
behalf of Delaware Republicanism.
He has fairly earned the right to the
title of Senator, by the record of faith
full service to his party, and IN many q
hopeless contest has exhibited the es-
sential qualities OF successful politica
leadership.
We predict for him a senatorial career
as creditable to him personally, as ben,
efcial to his constituency and State.

THE DELAWARE SENATORSHIP,
Anthony Higgins of Wilmington, the New
Senator.

Anthony Higgins, OF wilmington, the New
Senator.
DOVER, Del, Jan. 15.-AnJhony Higgins,
of Wilmington, was nominated for United
States Senator on the 43d ballot in the Re
publican caucus, at $50 a. IN. The vote
was: Higgins, 8; Massey, 6; one memb Der
having left the room and gone to bed. The
break to Higgins began on the 10th ballot,
when the five men who had stood solidly by
as high as eight votes, lacking only one for
the nomination, held seven up to the 42d
ballot, when one of his men and the remain
ing Smithers man went over to Higgins,
giving him the nomination.
At 1915 this morning the House ballotted
for United States Senator The fourteen Re-
publican mem bers voted for Anthony Hig-
gins. five of the Democratic mem bers for
Alfred P. Robinson, and the remaining two,
Brackson and Gray, for James L. Walcott.
The division of the Democratic vote was in
consequence of the inability of their caucus
to agree upon a candidate. The Democratic
caucus met again at $50 a. m. to unite on a
candidate. The Walcott men insisted on
pressing his name, but to this the Salisbury
men refused to agree. The latter expressed
willingness to support any other man
upon whom the Walcott men might agree,
but the latter persisted In pushing Walcott's
name. The Salisbury men then withdrew
from the caucus.
The Senate ballotted at IL Is for Uuited
States Senator. The seven Democratic
members voted for James L. Walcott the
two Repu blicans for Anthony Higgins. This
makes the vote of both Houses stand: Hig-
gins, 10; Walcott, 9; Robinson, 5.

The latest speculation relative to Mr..
Blaine's desire for cabinet appoint
ment, comes from the Washington
correspondent of the Philadelphia Led,
ger, which gives voice to Mr. Stephen
B. Elkins' opinion on that subject. A
gentleman who is intimate with him
reports that gentleman as having in
formed him that Mr.. Blaine had no de-
sire to be member of General Harm
sons Cabinet. Mr.. Elkins is reported
to have said that Blaine informed him
while at Deer Park last summer that he
had no further ambition to figure IN
public life. His "Twenty Years of
Congress" has brought him $4,000,
and.he expected that the work upon
which he was engaged, and other liter
arv work he had in contemplation would
bring him in as much more. This would
make ample provision for his family,
and it was his purpose to take up his
residence after January 1st. at Wash
ington, and devote himself to literary
labor. ~ am convinced" EIkins is re-
ported as having said, "that Blame will
not accept Cabinet place unless it
should become necessary for him to do
so to promote the interests of the Re-
publican party. He is not seeking
Cabinet place, and don't expect Gen
eral Harrison to make him the tender.

The New Senator.

Anthony Higgins, Esq, was born in Red
Lion Hundred, New Castle county, October
l, 1910. At the age of - he entered upon a
five years course of education at Newark
Academy and Delaware College. In the
autumn of 1858 he entered Yale College, and
was graduated A. B. in 1861. During the
two succeeding years he attended the Har-
ward Law School. He read law under Will
liam e. Spruance, of Wilmington, and was
admitted to the bar in New Castle, May,
1864. In September. 1864 he entered into
partnership with F. G. Bradford, who was
afterwards United States District Judge
for Delaware About the same time Mr.,
Higgins was appointed Deputy Attorney
General for Delaware. In 1868 he was
Chairman of the Republican State Commit
tee. He was appointed by President Grant,
in 1869, United States District Attorney
for Delaware and held the office until 1876.
Since that time he has devoted himself to
his large law practice. Mr.. Higgins first
appearance In politics was in the campaign
OF 1868 TO elect member of Congress to fill
" '"S"hSy SouSCu W buo ucdUu Vi w lllldm
Temple.
Mr.. Higgins championed the cause of n.
b. Smithers, the Repu blican candidate, aud
who was among his competitors of yester-
day, and Mr.. Snithers was elected. In 1867
he was one of the most acti We spirits in the
Border State Convention at Baltimore to
promote the adoption of the Fifteenth
Amendment to the Federal Constitution
He labored hard in the campaign of 1880,
which resulted in tn election of the Repub-
lican Legislative ticket in New Castle
county, in recognition of which he received
the mplimentary vote of the Republican
members in the January following, when
Mr.. Bayard was reelected to the United
States Senate. In 1884 he was the Republi-
can Congressional candidate, accepting the
nomination witt no chance or expectation
of success.

AT joint caucus of the Republican
Senators and Representatives at Harris
burg on Wednesday. it was decided
that the Prohibition amendment to the
State Constitution should be- submitted
to the people at special election on
June 18th next. A committee was ap-
pointed to draft the bill for the pur-
pose. This can, we think be reasona-
bly, considered as small concession to
public sentiment. as the Legislature of
Pennsylvania or any other state can
make on so important public ques-
ton.

Democratic editors who have been
hoping to see serious dissensions in the
Republican Party of New York over
the coveted honor of a seat in President
Harrison's Cabinet, will be doomed to
disappointment. While the activity of
the friends of Warner Miller and Ex-
Senator Plat has not abated, yet it is
no less evident that both sides are pre-
pairing for an amicable compromise.
Besides General Harrison is not likely
to endanger Republican supremacy by
becoming party to factlonal war to
the knife, and the Plat Miller contest
will therefore, it is believed, result in a
substantial agreement as to the legiti-
mate spoils of last November's victory.

A Philadelphia contemporary makes
good point on the amenities of politics,
by citing the example of two prominent
newspapers in the last campaign. The

and President-elect Harrison have, since
the election, been dignifed and friend.

rison Immediately after the election, ex-
tending to the future mistress of the
White House and her husband, most
cordial invitation to spend the days on
which they would be in Washington
preceding the Inauguration, as her
guests also our contemporary recalls
the other courtesy of President Cleve-
lands in writing to General Harrison
as soon as it was known he had been
elected President, heartily congratula-
ting him upon the result, and to the
fact that to this letter the future Presi-
dent sent SO pleasant a reply as to In
duce further correspondence. So it
has come about at is said by those
who seem to speak from knowledge Of
past changes of White House occupants
that more friendly relations with the
outgoing and incoming families never
existed. From these very commenda-
Bile interchanges of courtesies, our
contemporary draws the very sensible
conclusion that, if these great leaders
of their respective parties can be friends
respecting and admiriug each other,
maintaining the most cordial personal
relations one with the other, why should
their followers on either side "bite their
thumb" as they pass, or fling gibes and
jeers at their opposing chiefs7 The
battle was fought out to a conclusion
long ago, and at its worst, it was a most
amicable one. From the beginning to
the end of the protracted campaign
General Harrison, in all his many pub
lie addresses, never referred to his an
tagonist in any manner other than re.

was as conspicuously shown by Presi-
dent Cleveland for his opponent.

the limits of cotton beautiful
