Senate today, IN the direction Of bsing-
ing matters to an issue and getting the
rules of the Senate in shape 70 take :
vote on the Election bill. The Vice.
President ruled that Aldrich's motion
to change the rules was properly before
the Senate and late the evening the de-
bate commenced on it. The Democrats
will now try 10 waste time by talking on
the resolution instead Of the Election
bull, but il will be the duty of the Vice
President after the debate has proceed
ed long enough. to decide that the
time has come for taking . vote and 10
stop talking. The Democrats assert
that they will resist this, bet it is difti-
cult to see how they will be successful
and AS they were defeated on every
vote taken to-day, it is plain that the
Republicans can bring the debate to an
end whenever they want to, and take
vote without any more delay. 1t is
believed by Republican Senators. that
the Election bill will be passed and out
of the way before the middle OF next
week

Pittsburg democratic ex-letter carriers
have formed a political club patterned after
one organized by Robert Mcclure
in Cleveland few days ago.
Members say that McClure's idea
is to secure an organization of ex-
government employees that will be as use
full to the democrats in financial way as
though the members were still holding
Office, They say that the probability of
being rsinstated in their old places in the
event OF party success as a reward for their
efforts and sacrifices is the motive which is
relied upon to insure cooperation. With
this idea In force throughout the country
it is thought that the party would have a
non-officeholding auxiliary that would be
almost as powerful as the officeholding
machine of the republicans. One Of the
plans of the Pittsburg club is TO send two
representatives to the next national con-
vention. 1t is said that this movement is
organized largely in the interest of Grover
Cleveland. Yet few papers claim that he
has but little strength.

One Of the best stories of the year Is told by
Jerry Simpson, popularity known as the Sock

talking about the attempt of the old parties to

the astute politician to the Kansas mule
Out In Kansas, " said he, there is a boy who
had taught his mule TO squat when he touched
him on the flank with his heels and one day
when he was riding beside an Englshman, the
mule suddenly sat down on its launches.
What's the matter with your muller said the
Englishman. Why said the boy he's setter
Don't you see that rabbit out there? The En-

They rode or and the mule squatted again.
What's he doing nowr said the Engshman
He's settin' again. said the boy. Don't you see

man was dyinG to own the mule.

he. He offered to buy the mule. but the boy
didn't want to sell him. Finally he consented
to swap the mule for the Englishman's fine bay
horse and 800 to boot.
THE EDglishman mounted the mule, the boy
the horse, and they rode on together. After
while they came to a creek, and the Englishman
drew up his feet to keep them from getting
wet. About half way through the creek the
water got so deep that he had to draw his feet
up to the mules flank.
las soon as the boot heel touched the mules
flank he squatted right in the middle of the
creek. What's the matter with your blarsted

Won1d Not Haua wahh

Society and club people In New York are
greatly agitated over the alleged social in
dignity to which DR.. W. Seward Webb has
lately been subjected. Despite the fact that
he is a son-in-law of the late William Il.
Vanderbilt he was ruthlessly blackballed
by two members of the governing commit
tee Of the Union Club when he was proposed
for membership the other day.
Consequently the friends of the doctor
are very wroth. Really very. In justification
Of their irate condition they say with much
simple earnestness that sit would be hard
to find in the city man better known in
social circles, the financial world, or among
club men," Besides he is d son of Gen.
Watson Webb, who is alleged to have been
one Of the founders Of the club.
Yet it is not altogether impossible that
the thorough general acquaintance with
the doctor was just what kept him out.
Though the club contains many much
poorer men than DR.. Webb it is one of the
most exclusive social organizations in New
York. Beside that it is an overwhelmingly
can. That may account for the rejection
of his application for membership.
just why some men persist In trying to
toist themselves into places and among
people where they have every reason &c
know their presence would not be welcome
nor desirable and that the sentiments there
prevailing arc in no wise in consonance
with their own is really beyond conjecture.
OF course the friends Of Dr. Webb have q
perfect right to be just as angry as they
may think becoming under the peculiar
circumstances. But those who object to
the ''rich and handsome" doctor equally of
course have perfect right to keep him out
of the club. Because two persons were found
to vouoh for him by no means constitutes q
paramount reason why he should be &C.
| copied by the others noIens Uoiens.
But che most amusing part of the whole
incident is the complaint OF the doctors
friends that the governing committee las
signed no reason why he was rejected. ~
| That two persons objected to him seems to
constitute an entirely sufficient reason why
he should not be admitted to a social Or
ganizatiou. No categorical analysis of his
personal attributes appears to be called for
in such case.
Possibly the fact that one of the DOCTORS
| sponsors was Stuyvesant Fish may have
largely contributed to his discontinue.
Ever since his peculiar conduct at the
Washington centennial that young man
has been somewhat dshked.
