has an article in it concerning the sen
ate of the United States. We don't
know who the writer is He forgot to
sign his name. But there are some
thing. that he saws in the course o.
his remarks that are interesting, II not
amusing.
He divides the present Senate into
five classes % Senators Of the old
type and traditions (2) Senators who
are professional politicians and have
won their seats by political nnanipula-
ton; (3) Senators who have reached
their positions mainly by reason OF
their wealth a. Accidental Senators ;
90 Old fogy Senators.
In the first class we noticed among
others the names Of Senators Sherman,
Hawley, and Mills. They are perhaps
the best known ones under that head.
and according to the writer's view come
nearer representing the old glory OF
that body, when Webster, Clay, and
Calhoun we're the great lights.
In his second class of professional
politicians the best known examples
are Senators Hill and German. He
saws these men owe their positions to
the methods used by word politicians.
Among those who secured their seats
in the Senate because OF their wealth
are the two Nevada Senators and Brice
of Ohio In the class OF accidental
Senators the best known are Allen of
Nebraska and PETER of Kansas.
Among those of his fifth class, old
fogy Senators, we find quite long list
of them all from the South Wequote
one Of his paragraphs:
''(3) The old fogies of the Senate in
clude many men who originally could
Law claims to Senatorial fitness but who
have grown old mentally or tempera-
mentally and are now rather hindran-
ces than helps to the nations progress.
This class is naturally large from the
Southern States because of the strong
and almost pardonable tendency to
honor tie dignitaries who did conspic-
uOus service a generation ago, many
fact that, but for the salary they re-
ceiye, it would be difficult for them to
earn a living. This class includes Mr..
Bate, of Tennessee Mr.. Berry, of Ar
kansas; Mr.. George, of Mississippi ;
Mr.. Gordon, of Georgia Mr. Harris,
of Tennessee Mr.. Jones, of Arkansas
Mr.. Ransom, of North Carolina Mr.
Vance of North Carolina Mr.. Hunton,
of Virginia.
1t is altogether a remarkable pro-
ductiOn In reading it one can almost
hear the hum of the gold bugs wings
But it is a we'll written article and con-
tains a great deal more truth in it than
error But does it contain the whole
truth? Are the great States of the
South sending cold iOgies" to represent
them in the highest legislative body in
the world?
Our nameless writer thinks so, but
the Southern people hasn't discovered
it vet, and where ignorance is bliss it
is folly to be otherwise
We have expected the Wilmington
Messenger to comment on the article
in question as its scholarly editor is a
regular reader of the Forum, we believe.
and we shall be glad to know his opin-
ion.

Deadwood Times, Is: Edward Kidd
of this city has put in operation one OF
his patent devices for the saving OF
amalgam or any precious mineral that
may escape from stamp mills or other
works that reduce gold DR. silver ores.
The machine is an inverted cone, into
which the tailings pass. Near the top
are openings to allow the water and
light pulp to escape, the heavier portions
sinking to the bottom, where pipes are
inserted to permit the drawing off of the
mineral and amalgam that tmay.. have
been recovered. One OF the machines
was put in operation yesterday afternoon
at the Hawkeye mill and the result, it is
claimed will prove its practical utility.
Mr.. Kidd has made several inventions,
but this lest one, il it does all that ia
claimed for it will bring him both

gates and outlining the general scope
of the subjects to be discussed.
Notwithstanding the recent bank
failures, the generally confident condi.

Judge E. G. Smith of the Yankton
district has just held that the price OF
liquors legally sold in Minnesota may be
recovered in this state, even though 1t
we're known to the seller that the liquor
was t o be used for illegal sale in Dakota.
This, if we remember correctly, is con-
trary to a holding Of Judge Aiken in a
case in court here, where the rule was
laid down that no person could know
ingly contribute to the violation OF the
laws of a state and yet invoke the pro-
lection OF the laws OF that state in his il
legal act.

Aberdeen News, Is: 1t should be the
duty of some one to see that the horde
oil peddlers now infesting the country
either take out licenses or suffer for
their disregard OF the law. This vicinity
is flooded with them and all OF them are
doing business illegally. No law abiding
citizen should encourage law breaking,
and the fret demand made upon a ped
dler should be for his license. The
thing is serious when it is considered
that alien Italians alone send $20,000,0W
out of the country every year.
