agreed upon finally by the Democrat

titled to one delegate, Berkeley to

THE Senate was asked the other
day 10 provide for u fourth assistant
postmaster-general at salary Of
$4,000 a year. Senator Plumb OPP
posed it. and declared that he had
never visited the Postoflice Depart
ment lately, but he had seen the
heads of the department reading the
newspapers and otherwise leisurely
disporting themselves. He believed
the department, under its present
management, was unnecessarily eX-
travagant and characterized by a
lack of attention to the public eX-
penditures. This new Office would
simply enable the PostmasterGener-
al to devote all his time to his pri-
vate business. We think Senator
Plumb is right about the neglect of
business in Mr.. Wanamaker's branch.
At least the poor state Of the mail
service makes it look that way.
->~~~~~>~-->-~->-----~-~~
ONE cannot help but respect Sena-
tor Plumb of Kansas for his refresh
ing candor and his utter contempt for
political chicanery. He never dis
sembles, but calls spade a spade.
He blurts out the truth, no matter if
1t does hurt his own party. He made
the Senate mighty warm for Senators
Edmunds and Ingalls, on Monday,
by exposing some of their schemes.
He said that the bounty on maple
sugar, in the tariff bill, was granted
solely because Senator Morrill,
thought it would help his political af
fairs in Vermont, and it was agreed
that the item should be stricken out
of the bill after it had served its po-
litical purpose. But when the time
came to take it out, Senator Edmunds
threatened. in writing, to vote against
the entire tariff bill unless the item
was retained. Two things are shown
by this incident: Senators Edmuds
and Morrill, size up very, very small
as statesmen; and the tariff bill was
simply a Republican electioneering
cheme from beginning TO end.

THE SPEAKFRSHIP.

Just now and until the organization Of
the Fifty-second congress, which will
take place one week from tomorrow
December z, the speakership will be the
absorbing topic of political interest, in
view of which a brief retrospect Of that
very important and responsible and in.
huential position may be of interest.
The congress of the United States has
held fifty-one terms of two regular ses,
sions each. The first term of the First
congress began April 1, 1890, and the
second session of the last, or Fifty-first
congress ended March 3, 1891. The con.
gress has had thirty-one permanent pre-
siding officers or speakers. OF these,
four-Jonathan Dayton, Joseph B. Var
mum, James K. Polk and Linn Boyd
held the office two full terms; four
Nathaniel Macon, Schuyler Coltax,
James G.. Blaine and John G.. Carlisle
three terms each; one-Samuel J. Ran
dall-two full terms and one
session; one Andrew Stevenson-for
three terms and one session, and one
Henry Clay-for five terms and
one session. Kentucky furnished the
speaker for eleven terms: Virginia
and Pennsylvania each six terms; Massa-
chusetts and Indiana each four terms;
North Carolina, Maine and New Jersey
each three times; New York and South
Carolina each two terms.
Only twelve states have participated
in the honor of furnishing the presiding
officer Of congress; it has never come
west of Indiana north of the Mason and
Dixon line, nor west of Kentucky, Ten
nessee and Georgia south of that line.
The New England states have had it
eighteen years; the eastern middle states,
nineteen years; the central northern
states, eleven years; the southern states,
forty-five years Kentucky takes the
lead. having had it for twenty-one years
all together.
The west and northwest haven't been
in it so far. but they are encouraged BY
the reflection that "all things come to
them that wait.

and could not keep them over night, so
along toward evening they departed.
About seven o'clock they returned
and entering suddenly covered Burns
and his son with revolvers and went
through their pockets and ransacked the
house. Taking $50, an overcoat and
saddle, they went, to the barn, stole two
horses and fed. Burns had no horse left
on which to follow them and so they made
