Hi for the Senate.

Gov. Hill, Of New York, having received
the caucus nomination Of his party, vii be
elected United States senator to-day unless
enough democratic members Of the legisla-
ture should be kept away from their post OF
duty to leave the democrats in the minority,
Of which there is not much danger. The
democratic leaders are not wholly without
apprehensions, however. on that point. The
democratic majority on joint ballot is only
three. Two Of the democratic members are
sick and may not be able to reach the
state capital, and another was ar
rested a day or two ago on a charge
of having committed a forgery. IL three
should be absent there would be a dead
lock, as there would be a tie, provided all
the republicans were present The chances
are. however, they are all in favor Of Gov.
HILLS electi n.
Gov. HIPS acceptance Of the senatorship
occasioned surprise among those not &C
quainted with bis plans. 1t has been I'M
derstood all along that he wouldn't accept
the senatorship and that he intended 10 be
a candidate again for governor. If such
was his purpose it would be interesting to
know what caused him to change it.
The most plausible explanation given is
that he became satisfied that he could not
get the Presidential nomination Of his party
in 1892. and concluded, therefore, to 90 to
the Senate, and from that standpoint make
a fight for the nomination in 1876 At
Washington be would have an opportunity
to make himself acquainted with all the
leading democratic politicians throughout
the country, aud also to make combinations
that would help him to reach the goal of
bis ambition.
That he has voted wisely is by no means
certain. The people seldom look to the
senator for presidential candidate, for the
reason that a senator who does his whole
duty generally makes a great many politi-
cal enemies. If he is sincere he is bound to
do things which will lessen his popularity.
The farmers alliance is an organization Of
great influence and power, but the legisla-
ton it favors is not regarded in all in
stances as wise. No man can satisfy both
the farmers alliance and the sentiment
which prevails in financial centers. Cen
sequently Gov. Hill may be no further ad-
vanced toward the presidency in 1896 than
he will be in 1892
He is being condemned in some quarters
because of his reticence relative to his pur-
pose in connection with the senatorshlp. 1t
is said that he ought TO have made the fact
known that he was senatorial candidate
His excuse, however, for issilence appears
to be good one He said that he did not
want to go to the Senate. and only con-
sented to 60 because his friends thought he
was the only one who could harmonic the
party. A factional fight over the senator
ship might have had damaging effect
upon the party.
\ But whatever Gov. Hills motives were
for keeping silent and finally taking the
senatorial nomination, there is no doubt
that he is virtually out of the presidential
race of 1892. As matter of fact, however,
he never had much of a chance to get the
presidential nomination. That will go to
Mr.. Cleveland.

Recently Clerk Blundin became so
desperately in love with a Philadelphia
damsel that when she repulsed him he
sayagely took to robbing the mail in the
postoffice where he was employed. That's
an entirely new turn for the withered swain
to take. There is no telling whsre he may
break out next. If he ooud manage to re-
member that several deliclously nice girls
are yet living and a large crop is still grow
ing he might manage to be a trlfle more
cheerful. That would be reassuring to
the public But so long as the forlorn youth
continues to NOPE and grunt and manifest
a tendency to crack safe, block the side
walk or rip somebody up the back the
public can but regard him with sentiment
akin to nervous and panicky dislike. This
is free country and giIls are not bound to
love a man who is baldheaded, tedious and
given to singing through his nose and eat
ing pie with knife.

a lively Election.

There has not been 80 much excitement
at an election in this city for many years as
there was at that of yesterday. The work
ers were out in full force and the struggle
between the contestants for victory was
stubborn one. There had been no cam
paign worth speaking Of before the election,
and there was therefore the greater need
for work at the polls. AS
result Of the election Mayor Schwarz
is not to have second term.
1t is probable that he would have had, how
ever, had there not been a movement
against some of the councilmen 1t is
understood that that movement called into
life the opposition. If such was the case
Mayor Schwarz owes the loss of q second
term to his friends.
Mr.. John j. McDonough, who will be
mayor for the next two years, has had a
good deal of experience in city affairs, hav-
ing been councilman for long time. He is
a prominent man and has large business
interests in Savannah. He has hosts of
friends and is popular He ought to make
a good mayor. II he does he will receive all
the credit due him.
AT O'Clock this morning the counting of
votes for aldermen was not completed. 1t
was the impression, however, that pretty
good council had been chosen.

A New Story.

The publication Of new story by Miss
Dora Russell, the celebrated English novel
writer, will be begun in the MORNING NEWS
next Sunday and in the WEEKLY News on
Jan. 81. The story is entitled IA FATAL
PAST" Miss Russell is an author of excep-
tional powers and remarkable success. Her
stories ars everywhere received with salts
faction and delight. They are wholesome.
readable and reliable. They possess fresh
ness Of incident, fund Of humor. striking
scenes and homely surroundings. always
combined with an effective plot and a de-
iightful love story, which are rarely found
80 happily blended Her Forthcoming story,
"a FATAL PAST" will undoubtedly prove
one of her most successful works. A brief
outline of the story is as follows:
A young offlcer-without friends, as he
supposes-receives a mysterious package,
which, on being opened, is found to contain
$500, and an intimation in a lady's hand
writing that he will be the recipient of a
similar amount yearly.
The gift is welcome, but who is the donors
The second chapter reveals somewhat the
source of the gift, but leave the motive as
inscrutable as before.
The officer and his friend join shooting
party in the north, where they are the
guests of Lord and Lady Ennismore. Ii
the locality are lady friends of the hostess
about one of whom-Miss Helen Drum

In his recent Grafton to the Senate and
country Senator Ingalls, used the follow
ing remarkable language: "If my political
enemy smites me on the cheek. would
smite him under the butt end of his left
ear" This is objectionable, the Baltimore
Sun thinks, both as inelegant English aud
bad oratory, to say nothing of its hostility
TO the spirit of the Sermon on the Mount.
Not since Gen. Butler replied to one his OPP
ponents, "Shoofly, don't bother me-" has
there been such violation Of parliament
tary propriety of speech. Mr.. Ingalls,, in
the grafton referred to, apologized for and
explained away his famous observations
derogatory to the Golden Rule and the Deca-
logue. But what will his critics say when
they find him, even in his apologies, going
directly counter to the Gospel itself" And
where is "the butt end Of the left ear" any

Blair's Career Ended,

1t may he safely said that the political
career of Senator Blair, of New Hampshire
is about ended. his successor was elected
yesterday. His name is Jacob H. Calling,
ger. 1t is sincerely to be hoped that he will
not be so much of a crank as Senator Blair
He has had much experience in politics,
having been a member of the House
Of Representatives. There is no doubt that
he is a man of considerable ability, and is,
perhaps, not quite so narrow
minded as Senator Chandler. He
would not have been elected
at all had it not been for Chambers ques-
tionable political methods. A democrat
would have been elected. Chandler, how
ever, succeeded in depriving the democrats
of majority of the legislature. The
supreme court of the state and the clerk of
the House lent him their aid. Together
they managed to seat republicans who were
not fully entitled to seats before the organi-
zation Of the House was effected.
The south has heard a great deal of Mr..
Blair since he has been in the Senate.
Nearly the whole Of his time in that body
has been given to his educational bill.
Probably his bill will disappear with him.
1t must be admitted, however, that he
made gallant fight for it, and he came
near winning. At one time the south
favored his bill, but as the discussion of il
proceeded the southern people became con-
WINGED that they would DO better off with,
out it. They believed in relying upon
themselves in educational matters, and
there is no doubt that the conclusion they
reached was the correct one.
But Mr.. Blair is knd-hearted man, and
had his environments in his earlier year:
been of q more liberal kind he would have
been broader ahd more useful man. He
will be missed in the Senate, but not greatly
regretted. IL would not be surprising If he
should become an associate editor on Col
Elliot Shepard's paper. tho Mail and E,r
press. His views seem to harmonize witt
those Of Mr.. Shepard. They are two of q
kinda rather queer kind.

The MORNING NEWS has kept the public
fully informed about the smallpox in this
city, and yet there are papers in different
parts Of the state which have published SEN
sational reports with regard to it, and that,
too, without any reliable authority for
them. Such papers are wholly unworthy
the confidence Of the public. They do not
desire to give their readers the truth and
they are Indifferent to the damage they may
do. The few cases which have appeared in
this city ought not to have attracted more
than passing notice. They have certainly
caused no alarm here. The two persons
now in the city who have the disease are
convalescent, and it is pretty safe to say
there viii be no cases at all within a very
few days. If there should be any reason TO
apprehend danger to persons visiting the
city from the disease, the public will be in
formed of the fact through the MORNING
News. There is not now, nor has there
been at any time, any such danger
