THE NEXT SENATE.

Before the election of Hon. Stephen NJ.
White to the United States Senate from
California, the Democrats had forty-one
members Of that body in the Fifty-third
Congress, and it is significantly mentioned
that Mr. White, besides being a sterling
Democrat, is with the exception Of Mr..
Broderick, the only man not million
aire who has been chosen to represent
California in the higher house.
His election gives the Democrats forty
two straight votes, free from complica-
lions with Populists or any other doubtful
political quantity. 1t is considered GER
tain that Kyle of Dakota and PETER Of
Kansas will vote with the Democrats on
tariff reform, and other leading Demo-
cratic measures, so with them and the
Vice President. the Democrats may safely
count on being able to give the country
the main reforms which were the issues
of the recent Presidential contest.
But in order to secure all the substantial
results of the late victory, the Democrats
need an assured majority in the Senate
to be i'm full accord with that of the
House, and to make sure Of this, two
more straight Democratic votes are need
ed. These are being counted on from
Montana and Wyoming. while it is quite
possible that Kansas will also send to
the Senate a man who will vote with the
Democrats on all questions of administra-
tive reform. and these will give a full
and substantial Democratic majori-
ty. But should Kansas fail to
do as the Democratic par
ty hopes, and Montana and Wyoming
shall. as is almost certain, elect Demo
Gratis, even then the party in power will
Senate will be equally divided, and Vice
President Stevenson will have the de-
Gliding vote on all party measures.
1t is greatly TO be hoped that three
more Democratic Senators may be elected,
as in that case ii will make Democratic
supremacy in both houses Of Congress
certain beyond peradventure. Still IL
only two more are chosen it Will do. since.
as we have seen, the balance of political
power in the body will then be in the
hands Of the Vice-President. who the
country knows full well will WELD 1t with
discretion and patriotism, and always on
the side of Democratic principle, with due
regard for the interests Of the people
With the party in a large majority In
the House, and with the Senate a tie,
Mr.. Stevenson will see to 1t that only
measures inspired by wisdom. and having
for their aim the public good. shall go
to Democratic President for his sane
ton.
Look at it how we may. therefore, 1t
seems certain that the Legislative affairs
OF the country for the next four years
will be in safe hands. And when this
becomes an assured fact. as 1t soon will
be. the mouth of the Republicans will be
shut on the subject of its being better
for the Democrats TO have full control OF
Congress. as thereby they will be re-
sponsible for all legislation" That is a
piece OF hypocrisy that they first In

The Christian world, irrespective or

Rev. Phillips Brooks. Bishop OF Massa-
chusetts. He was n liberal churchman,
and a Christian in the highest sense OF
tLat term. Besides this, he was man
of great learning and remarkable ability
who made his influence felt wherever ne
felt called upon to exert 1t. His death
will be a serious loss not only TO the
Episcopal Church, of which he was so
bright a light. but to the religious world
in general, for he always put his re-
markable talents to good account. and his
life was spent I'm doing good, and In ef-
