The NEXT SENATE.-The question
whether the Governors OF the States
which have chosen no Senators within
the time allowed by law can proceed
to fill the vacancies has been informal
ly discussed by number of members
of the Senate committee on elections,
and their opinion is that the Governors
have the power. The question has not
been considered fully, but the Senators
who have expressed their opinions say
that ruling ought to be made in the
case, which would not deprive a State
of its equal representation in the SEN
ate. The vacancy will not exist until
the fourth of March, and the Governor
cannot we'll appoint until the vacancy
actually occurs; but it is believed that
he can then designate Il Senator to act
until choice is made at some subse-
quent meeting of the legislature.
This will enable the republican Gov
errors of Washington and Montana to
appoint republicans Senators, while the
democratic Governor of Wyoming will
he able to designate democrat and
the populist Governor of North Dakota
a democrat or populist. 1t will not
change materially the complexion OF
he Senate 10 have the Senators named
nv the Governor, and they will not be
present when the Senate meets in
March to take part in the organization
There is reported to be Il growing
feeling among the democratic senators
that it is not worth while to attempt q
reorganization Of the Senate offices al
the special session of the Senate. Vice
President Stevenson will preside, and
it will rot be of special importance
whether president pro tenn. is chosen
or not, unless the democratic senator:
desire to keep Judge Gresham one de
gree further from the presidential sue
cession. :.
The democrats have now chosen Il
Senators, including Judge Martin, O
Kansas, without counting any of tho
populists. vacancies exist on March
i. the Senate will stand-democras, Is
poouIists, / !: republicans, 81. The re-
publicans cannot by any com
bination of circumstances obtain
a majority in the Senate, even i
Stewart and PETER act with them. One
more democratic Senate will give that
party complete control of the Senate
even when it is full, and the 43 Sen
ators already chosen make a clean ma
iority of two if four seats are vacant.
The democratic leaders may decide
to 90 ahead with the work of reorgan-
ling the committees and choosing new
officers, but some OF them are disposed
to wait until December. They will then
know their exact strength, the Senate
will then be full and there will be no
trouble in adjusting committee places
for the new senator's wno afterwards
come in. fan extra session of both
Houses of Congress should be sum-
moned to deal with the repeal of the
Sherman act and the bond question.
complete reorganization would be nee
essary in order to secure committees in
harmony with Mr.. Cleveland's views.

THIS COUNTRY, with its present bor-
ders, is in no danger of foreign invasion,
from any quarter, but it would be vast
IL different if those borders were ex-
tended nearly two thousand five hun
dred miles. so as to include the Sand
witch Islands. What with the bounty
TO the Hawaiian sugar planters, the an
nuities to the legitimate rulers of that
country, and the expenses of the fleet
and troops that must be kept there, Ha,
wall would cost great deal more than
it would come to; and that, too, leav-
ing out of view the danger of interna-
tional troubles TO which its possession
would subject this country.

IT is printed in the newspapers that
the appointment of Judge Gresham to
the premiership of the incoming admin
istration is viewed with pleasure at
the German foreign office in Berlin, as
it indicates that the foreign service OF
the United States will be freed from
politics" 1t is sincerely hoped that the
foreign relations of this country during
the next administration may be freed
from politics, but how it was possible
for the people at the foreign office in
Berlin, where Judge Gresham had
probably never been heard of before, to
suppose that his appointmentwasi indie
atiyc of such thing, is passing strange.
