IT looks as though the right sort Of
men are not being elected TO the
United States Senate nowadays.
Senator Cameron and Senator Quay
OF Pennsylvania are nearly always
out OF their places, and that great
State is practically without represen-
tation in the upper branch OF Con-
gress. They arr only useful in poll
ties, and do not bother themselves
about affairs OF state. And now Sen
ator Hill is disappearing New
York in the same manner. 1t isarare
thing for him to be seen in the Sen
ate chamber, although he has
abundance Of time to devote to his
political advancement. Such men
are not fit for the high places they
hold.

and lover of Miss Moore went to the
house aud cut her throat with what

ment used by Eliza Hackney or Els

from Washington states that party
OF prominent West Virginia Repub-
licans spent the greater part of last

sent to run for Governor of this State
next fall. They handed him the
nomination on silver platter and
made the most glittering promises OF
a certain election, but Mr.. Elkins

thing for the party he can in the way
OF influence and so forth" but he
declines to put himself in a position
