1t is not often that the people oil the
country are treated to such an unusual
number of novel and exciting senatorial
contests as those that are now under
way or have recently been in progress
in number of states. Some of them
were attended with incidents of the
most startling nature and all have been
full of racy interest to the most ordi-
nary observer of political events.
The contest in Pennsylvania, which
resulted in the easy victory of j. Donald
Cameron after a most ridiculous effort
on the part of the national administra-
ton to defeat him, was a notable instance
of the unbroken domination of the
Cameron family in the ruling politics OF
a great state. 1t began in 1915, when
Simon Cameron broke away from his
Democratic associations in order to Sc
cure the senatorship, and is now as
strong as it ever was, with every indica-
ton of continuing undisputed for years
TO come.
The New York senatorship did not
create any contest, the chief interest
from the first being centeled in the prob
able attitude of Governor Hill towards
the prize that was his whenever he de-
cided to accept it. His decision was not
announced until within as hours of the
time for taking the first formal ballot,
and many Democrats in New York and
all over the country now hope that his
election to the Senate will prevent him
from proving an uncertain and disturb
ing element in the Democratic party
during the coming national campaign.
Governor Hill will be only the second
Democratic senator from New York in
thirty-five years, the other being Francis
Herman Of Utica, who was chosen after
Governor Tilden's 10000 majority, in
1874, carried with it a majority Of the
legislature in that outrageously gerry
wandered state.
One of the most interesting of all the
contests is that now under way in Hi
nois, where the first ballot, taken yes
terday, resulted in 101 votes for General
John NJ. Palmer, the nominee OF the
Democratic members, 100 for Richard j.
Ogleshy, the choice Of tho Republicans,
and 3 for Streator, the candidate of the
Farmers Alliance. Those three votes
.willcontrol 1.-The OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
will go to either Of the other candidates
or force the Democrats or Republicans
to make deal with them, remains to be
seen. All the indications point TO a
protracted, desperate struggle.
In the Kansas legislature the Far
mers' Alliance members are in undis-
puted control, and although they have
not yet agreed upon candidate fol
senator, they show no disposition what
ever to crafty Senator ingalls, desire
for another term. They have the votes
to elect their candidate, and although
he will be a strong Alliance man hI
will possibly be one Of Republican in

Bungiing burglars Unsuccessful Attempt

10 Rob q. w. Lodge a. Son.
The safe in the store of G. w, Lodge
& Son, No. roo King street was blown
open by burglars at 4 o'clock yesterday
morning. No money was stolen. The
job was done so awkardly by the burg
lars and so much noise made by the
explosion that the dcpredators made off
in alright only glad enough to escape
from arrest.
The report of the explosion was ter
rife On all the contiguous streets win
dows were thrown up and terrified citi-
2ens pcercd around in the darkness all
of them impressed with the idea that
another terrible du Pont explosion had
taken place.
During yesterday large crowds beseiged
Lodges store inside and out. The large
triple window which looks out on Sew
enth street was blown out and hangs
only by its upper fastenings Within
this window the office is located where
the safe is. The burglars had in the
usual way drilled a minute hole about
two inches below the handle of the com
bination lock. They had used ordinary
powder, but altogether too much of il
for quiet businesslike job The heavy
safe door, in most bungling manner,
was shattered from its hinges and blown
clear across to the opposite window,
striking the lower castings and loosen
ing the whole window structure. The
contents of the safe were undisturbed,
and as far as can be learned no valu-
ables whatever are missing.
Residents of King street living across
the way saw man coming down the
steps limping as if he were badly hurt.
For a few moments following the ex-
plosion there was intense silence. Then
two pistol shots were fired from King
street down Seventh in an easterly di-
rection. Immediately after the night
clad gazers saw two men running as

GinehansS--
The styles this year We
are in the golden age of Cling
hams. The British Crown has
honored the cotton arts al
ready by noble titles; why not
the cotton fine arts also? To
be Just in distribution might
make too big a crop of Knights
and Baronets. But these
canny Scots are royalty
crowned with the favor of
American women. Our coun-
tiers prove that.
Look over the styles, An
derson's, Whytlaws, Rule &
Greenlees. Plaids are indi-
geneous to the brain and the
back of the Highlander. Mar
rowed to his clan tartan in
love and in war he takes
Plaids in broadcast and rich
est sense in trade and mill.
You'd expect that. But it's a
bit of surprise to catch an
effect, a trace, of the Chin
chilla here and there, to meet
the tone of a Cheviot, quite
equal in effect to the woolens
Of the Tweed, to have all
things thrown together auda-
cious as border warfare, but
beautiful withal. You are
captured at a single eoub.
You want newness and beauty.
You get them and they get
you. The prices 81, 371a, 40

Liquor and Legislators.

The Sacramento papers are TAX
ing strong grou DIS against the
sale of liquors in the Capitol build
ing.
There should be no liquors sold
in any Capitol building where men
are in session trying to make laws.
There are two reasons for this:
No man can vote intelligentIy
on a bill when he is drunk, and al
lowing the sale of liquors In a
Capitol building is an imposition
on people who pay a regular Ii
icense to sell liquor outside the
building
1t is to be hoped that tbs mem
bers will take action this Winter
and do away with the cheap gin
mill business that is usually run
in the Sergeant-at-Arms' rooms.

Wall Street on Deck.

The accumulated capital OF
Wall street is making its influence
felt as never before in throwing
obstacles in the way of any legis-
lation which will loosen money.
There are the usual hints that
the Treasurey Department is in
league with the street and that
pledges that the Administration
will veto any free coinage measure
have been again repeated during
the past week. That was hardly
needed. No free coinage bill will
be permitted to leave a commit
tee of the House or to pass that
body, and if there were a chance
of such an outcome it is highly
probable that enough Democratic
Senators whose votes while in the
minority were for free coinage
would turn about to further en-
barrass the Republican majority
The Democrats exult in the pro-
mise Of soon contr olling the Gov
eminent and are not disposed to
assist their opponents in any
popular legislation. That is one
key to the situation. The COM
