Contests in the senate.

When the extra session of the Senate
adjourned in April last, it left pending
three contested seats. These were of the
senators from Montana, Wyoming and
Washington. In all three of these states
the legislatures got into prolonged de-
bates, and adjourned without electing
senators to fill the vacancies that were to
occur on the 4th of March The COVER
nor of Montana appointed Lee Mantle,
republican, but pronounced free coinage
advocate to succeed Wilbur f. Sanders
republican. Mr.. Mantle's credentials
were referred to the committee on privi-
leges and elections, which made MAORI
ty report in favor of seating the appointee,
but the Senate adjourned without action
on his case. and the seat remains vacant.
The Montana legislature is controlled by
democrats and populists. The governor
is republican. Should the republican
appointee of the governor not be seated,
the legislature would probably choose a
democrat, or a populist
In Wyoming the legislature has dem
ocratic ana populist majority, but failed
to elect a senator to succeed Francis Il.
Warren, republican. The governor. a fu-
sionist, appointed A. c. Becl1with, a free
coinage fusionist. Beckwith's credentials
were also before the Senate committee,
but action had not been taken at the
adjournment
In Washington the legislature and gov
ernor are both republican, but the legisla-
ture failed, on account of local fights, to
elect a successor to John d. Allen, repub-
lican, and the governor appointed him to
succeed himself. His case also was pend
ing when the Senate adjourned. Mr. Al
len, it was thought, would vote for the
repeal of the Sherman law if admitted to
his seat
These three cases are full of potent
possibilities, and should be taken into
/ consideration in any calculations upon the
S Mates probable action during theuextra
session Indeed, protracted and
acrimonious preliminary fight may be
brought on before the Senate settles
down to the business for which congress
! has been convened.

The Legend of Evil.
(Rudvard Kipling.j

lhuuNard hlpllng)
This is the sorrowful story
Told when the twilight fails,
And the monkeys walk together,
Holding each others tails:
Our fathers lived in the forest,
Foolish people were they;
They went down to the cortland
To teach the farmers to play,
Our fathers frisked the miller.
Our fathers skipped in the wheat,
Our fathers hung in the branches,
Our fathers danced in the street
''Then came the terrible farmers,
Nothing OF play they knew;
Only they caught our fathers
And set them to labor. too
set them to work in the cortland
With plOwS and sickles and fails,
Put them in the mud-walked prisons
And-cut off their beautiful tailsl
Now, We can watch our fathers
Sullen and bowed and old,
STOPPING over the miller,
Sharing the silly mold.
Driving a foolish furrow, q.
Mending a muddy yoke,
Sleeping in mudwalled prisons
Sleeping their food in smoke.
We may not speak to our fathers,
For if the farmers knew.
They wo aid come up to the forest
And set US to labor, too"
This is the horrible story
Told as the twilight fails.
And the monkeys walked together,
Holding each others tails.

The moral of 41sops fable of the grass
hopper and the ass is, that zone mans
meat is another mans poison" The ia
BILE itself can hardly be applied to the fl
nancial situation that existed last week
and the week before, but the moral can.
The poison that destroyed banks and in
dividuals was meat to that class of tinan-
cial operators of which Mr. Russell Sage,
of New York, is a type and exponent.
Mr.. Sage has the reputation of being al
ways able to put his hand on more ready
cash than any other man in New York,
and he is ever in the call loan market
when the rates are high. One day last
week the rate for call money went to
three-sixteenths and interest; that is to
say, three-siXteenths of accent a day on
the dollar, with the regular rate of inter
est added. A brief calculation will show
that rate to be equal to about 49, per
cent. a year. Mr.. Sage made extensive
loans at that rate; the actual amount of
the loans is, of course, unknown, but a
Wall street man estimates that Mr. Sage
profited to the extent of $50, 600 a day dur
ing the stringency, until half d dozen of
the great banks went into the loan market
and forced the rate down from 1871 per
cent. to per cent, the legal rate of in
terest, in order to save borrowers

The outcome of the Bardwell, Ky,
lynching bee was rather remarkable.
The lynchers had determined that simple
death was too good" for their in. ended
victim; they meant to torture him: to
make him die by inches, in the most hor-
riblc and cruel manner that they could
devise. Fire as the means of death, was
determined upon; the wood was selected
and the building of the pyre begun. The
desire of the mob to kill somebody was
ungovernable, and every breath that Mil
Ter breathed seemed to them a reproach
for their hardness. The mob went mad,
blood mad. They were not sure that
Miller was the guilty party; but they
were bent on having sacrifice SO they
killed him. However, they gave Miller
the benefit of the doubt as to his guilt:
he was hanged instead of being burned.

New street Car Motor.

The satisfactory system of street car
propulsion has not yet been put in opera
ton. The cable is probably the best that
has yet stood the test of actual service.
But the cable has serious disadvantages,
as well as the trolley and the mule. On
both cable and trolley roads all cars are
dependent for power upon one source of
supply. An accident at the power station,
or along the line, stops all the cars. A
broken cable or grounded" trolley wire
puts every car without means of propul-
sion; and an eXasperating incident to all
such suspensions of travel is that nobody
knows when the power will come back. "
The traveller caught in such predIca-
ment must put his patience into action
and sit STILL or get out and walk.
To produce a system of propulsion in
which each car shall be Independent of
every other car without the necessity of
employing a regulation steam locomotive,
furnace, smokestack and all, is the pur-
pose of Chicago inventor, who thinks he
has solved the problem with the Kinetic
motor, The Kinetic motor is constructed
on ihe storage steam plan. 1t is stored
VIII SJttLLl anu HOU water db Hedululr-
ters sufficient to run themotor and trailer
cars twenty miles. The steam is used
over and over again, not escaping through
an exhaust, but being re-enforced by a
small fire of anthracite coal and the hot
water the motor carries.
This motor was tested on Chicago
street railways recently. 1t ran through
the tunnels and over the grades easily. 1t
is claimed that the cost o running does
not exceed two cents per cara mile Then.
too each car with a motor is rs independ-
ent as a trunk line train. If one car should
happen to break down another would
come along and push it away, avoiding
the delays made by grounded trolleys and
parted cables. The rate OF speed at
tanned at the Chicago experiments was
greater than the speed of trolley cars.

The Unborn Love of Distinction.

Man is but child of larger growth, a
child that has not outlived its fondness for
toys and gewgaws. Hence it is that the av-
erage man has an irrepressible longing for
some badge of distinction, or more properly
speaking, some distinctive badge.
Any outward and visible sign of the diff
ference which separates a man from the
common herd is seized upon with avidity
and worn with pride and satisfaction,
whether it be the legend Conductor" or
certain numerals which serve primarily to
distinguish him from the other employ
ees of a corporation, or the hackman's
badge, or the emblem of some secret frater-
nifty, or the garb of a policeman, letter car
rier, messenger boy or what not-in any
and every case it is the same. The man
presents a token that removes him from
the commonplace, or so he feels, and raises
him to eminence.
It is because of this feeling or instinct
which is implanted in the human breast
that men take so kindly to the uniform Of
the soldier or the gimcrack millinery of the
secret society. To it must be ascribed the
rage for parading the streets at night, half
suffocated by the fumes of i'll smelling
kerosene and for marching over the pave
ments in the daytime in Haunting feathers
and white gloves three sizes bigger than
the hands they envelop and emphasize

WorId's Fair Food products,

In the agricultural department Of the
Columbian exposition the American will
see ranged side by side the displays of
the great nations that are our rivals III
food production and wool growing. The
exhibit is most significant on that ac-
count. Our chief rivals we find to be
Australia and Russia. The greater part
of the Australian space at the fair has
been occupied by New South Wales.
Such a quantity Of wool was never be-
fore seen in the same shape. Bales Of
wool are built up into an immense pa
vilion, and inside this house of wool are
displayed the agricultural products Of
the Australasian colonies. But it is
Australian wool and meat that will APP
pear steadily in competition with ours in
the worlds markets in the coming years.
The Russian agricultural exhibit is
composed largely of wheat-wheat in
every shape in which artistic design can
arrange it. The grain is of excellent
quality, esteemed rather more highly
than ours in Europe. Russia is becoming
more and more civilized; her fields are
coming under more general and superior
cultivation. Russia is henceforth to
give us hard chase in the bread fur
nishing business. 1t will be well for
American farmers to realize this and di-
versify their crops, especially since not
only Russia but India and Egypt have
joined the ranks of the wheat producing
countries.
Canada rivals us in the cheesemaking
industry At the fair is a tremendous
Canadian cheese weighing 10000 pounds,
30 heavy that the floor of the Agricul-
tural building had TO be strengthened to
bear it. Ten thousand COWS gave the
milk that made this cheese, the largest
that ever was, probably that ever will
be. So Canada calls attention to her
great and growing dairy industry. Not
so much in the line Of rivalry at present
come the chief displays of some other
nations, though with the new products
with which our agricultural stations are
constantly experimenting it is impossi-
BILE to say what cannot be grown in our
country. Brazil shows her hand as the
worlds greatest coffee producer. France
and Germany stand pre-eminent in the
production of beet sugar, and our little
beet sugar show is nothing compared to
theirs in the exposition. But there ape a
few articles wherein the United States
stands first and always will. These are
