THE SENITORLAL CIRCUS.

Cedar Rapids Commercial; If Paddock

in the race at all. In casting about for a re-
publican who can unite the party and draw

In the congressional race he polled several
Thousand votes more than his party strength
Meiklejohn is "a sure winner, having never

johnson County Journal (dem): All this
ak from republicans TO the effect that they
will elect democratic United States sena-
tor from Nebraska rather than see an indie
pendent elected is simply bug dust They
have no intention of doing so, but are using
such argument as a blind TO secure demo-
cratic votes enough to organize the legisa-
ture. Should they succeed in seducing
enough democrats or independents into assist
ing them in organizing the legisa ture they
would then proceed to unseat enough mem
bers-elect to give them a majority. There is
no use talking, the republicans are not i'm it,,
ana the democrat or independent who lends
his vote for the purpose of organization will
be committing crime against the people of
the state, as well as against humanity. The
independents and democrats should, and un-
doubtedly will, organize both the house and
senate, They have votes enough, and we
belive not one of them will be blinded by the

Nebraska City Press. The Lincoln News
Is giving Senator Algernon Sidney Paddock
ttut stille us senator "A. -. PaQdOCk) a
mighty Jarring because, forsooth, he has not
followed in all things the career of the illus
trious and ancient English gentleman from
whom he received his name. This is unjustly
severe since the senator had nothing to say
at the time he was given name, and il was
practically impossible for the little, kicking,
squalling Paddock TO get one in accord with
the career he had marked out for himself
Nor, on the other hand, has it been possible
Tor the senator's parents To keep their son
under the slipper during all these years,
and SO shape his character after
that or the gentleman they had
honored. Senator Paddock has evidently
been conscious of the weight his name places
upon him and has sought to strew laurels
the senator fully recognized the fierce old
warrior, Sidney, had made serious blunder
In losing his head for so ephemeral thing
as opinion or principle is altogether prob
able. He has made some innovations upon
the old Englishman's career, has taken
warning where he failed and may assume to
have been much more fortunate and wiser
than he in the end.

4AMUSEMENTS.
Enjoyable Church Concert.

The concert given by the Mendelssohn
Quartet club of Boston at the First Metho-
dist church last evening was favored by an
audience of very modest proportions. The
program was an enjoyable one, well calcu-
lated to please the artistic tastes of an audi
ence in which musical talent predominated.
The quintette was heard in half dozen
selections, including compositions of Men
delssohn, Boccherini, Durond and Pleyal.
Their music was, in no sense, dramatic, and
required close attention to appreciate its
beauty. The violin solo by Mr. Sol Marcas-
san was marvel of technique. and deserved
the very enthusiastic encore it received. A
flute solo by MIR. Henry Herbort and a
clarinette solo by Mr.. Thomas Ryan, were
also well received
Miss Ida Juel, the soprano, sang an aria
from Caro- Nome by Virdi and waltz
from Gounods "Romeo and Juliet" She
displayed very fair voice which had been
well schooled, but her singing appealed to
the judgment rather than to the heart. She
rendered her somewhat difficult selections
with precision, but without inspiration.
The entertainment was the 117th musicale
of the Ladies Musical society

TOOTs FROM RAMS HORN.

A sore eye hates the light
Culture is only polish. 1t does not change
the heart
Pure sugar never sours or gets mouldy.
Pure religion is like it.
When lazy man looks toward heaven the
angels close the windows.
A hint to churches-ice is never allowed to
stay long in front Of a saloon.
1t does not take an eloquent tongue to give
a pleasant sound to good news.
When you want to see the crooked made
straight look at n railroad map
A good man always brings more into the
homes he visits than he takes away
Preaching science will never cause men
to give up sin and go to loving one another.
There is nothing for which men have to
pay so dear as for the privilege of being
btingy.
:. Whenever bird goes to fly, it looks up,
Sut some men shut their eyes whenever they

What General Van ,Wyck Said.

General Charles II, VanlWyck was in the
city yesterday. He was asked by BEE re-
porter whether the report that he is a candi-
date for the United States senate was cor
rect. The senator had not heard any such
report, and said that while certain influen-
tial democrats had recently urged him to
enter the senatorial race again, he had told
them that their kind solicitations were
somewhat behind time He intimated
further that had they been in dead earnest
in their fealty TO him the result of the re-
cent election might have been different. The
inference to be taken from the senator's re-
