THEY DON'T LIKE IT.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Salt Lake Tribune declares that
there are a number of eastern senator's
who are not at all anxious for further
additions to the ranks of western sena-
tors. Several of these, he says, were
anxious that the Montana election case
should be returned To that state for
this reason, but Ostensibly on the
ground of doubt as to the results.
The old-fashioned eastern senators
view the aggressive policy of the West
with misgiving and alarm. Cltra-con-
sentative and thoroughly set in their
ways, such old heads as Evarts of New
York and Morrill, of Vermont are
averse to anything that will disturb the
placidity and stateliness of the BODY to
which they belong. They perceive that
western thought is making itself felt,
and in fact is having a great deal to do
with shaping the legislation of
the country. Western ideas may be
downed but they do not stay down.
After each rebuff the West is mOr
clamorOus than before. II has been
by the persistent and unremitting de-
mands of the West that the East is
changing front, making the entire
people practically unanimous on the
silver question. The West is coming
TO the front. and this from the nature of
the case its advance is especially no.
ticeable in the United States senate.

A Boston paper AYERS that the fashion
In women's names changes every ten or
fifteen years. The Nancy epoch, IL says,
occurred early In the present century.
Then came the Martha Ann, Mary Jane
and Ann Eliza epochs in the order named,
the Mary Jane epoch dominating the
other two. The Lucy epoch began about
1896, after which came the Helen, the Ida
and the Ella epochs. After these Edith,
Maud and Mabel rcigned until they were
displaced by the brood Of names to which

Violet and Imogene period is at hand.

The Kansas City Times in a four-column
article charges Senator Ingalls, with pla-
giarism, and moreover pretty satisfac-
torily proves the accusation. Parallel
passages are quoted showing that the
Kansas senator stole the best part of his
brilliant eulogy of the late Congressman
Burnes of Missouri from one Of the SER
O Of Father Massillon, bishop of
Clermont, delivered nearly two hundred
years ago. Ingalls, can't turn nowadays
without getting n black eye from some
source. He is a smart man, but he isn't
smart enough to prevent the people from
getting onto him.

Whatever may be said of other
American industries, American whisky
is rising To the foremost place among
all the whisky producing countries of
the globe. The expectation for con-
sumption i'm foreign countries for the
fiscal year ending June 10, 1889. was
2,5gO,235 gallons, an increase of 1876.
$50 gallons over the previous year. and
IL is estimated that the expectation for
the present year will show still further
gratifying increase. France may lie
over us in wines, Germany may beat
us in beers and Holland maintain her
supremacy in gins; but in the manu-
facture of genuine old straight stuff
America has taken the lead. and so

Mr.. WHIrrY Yesterday adopted the sug-

sent here to examine the census returns,

II seems to US in view of the thousands
and thousands of complaints already lodged

the quickest way to remedy the errors and
omissions is to take new census of Rich

fifty-one enumerators to work without any
personal guidance.
