A political statistician at Washington
has communicated to the New York Even
ing Post some interesting conclusions
with regard to the probable political com
plexion of the Senate Of the Fifty-fourth
congress. He has examined the field
with great care and absolute impartial
ity," and reaches the conclusion that.
granting to the republicans every seat
which can possibly go to them in the
next Senate, they and the democrats
will be practically tied, the balance of
power being held by the populists IN
case the democrats succeed in every
evenly balanced contest for legislative
maiorities next fall, they will still retain
a slight ma ioriJy over all. Ia case the
populists actually gain tho balance of
power, it viii bring Senator Allen, Of
Nebraska, to the front, after the Malone
fashion Of thirteen years ago.

Long Distance Trolley Lines.

The statement in the New York papers
a few days ago that arrangements were
being made to build an electric railway
between New York ana Philadelphia,
touching as many as possible of the towns
between those two cities, has attracted
good deal Of attention and excited much
favorable comment The very general
opinion seems to BE- thai such a trolley
lines would pay a hantsom, pro it on the
money Invested in it. Bus would it pay,
II IS certain tina. it would no. get much
through passenger traaic because of the
time it woIld take to make the
journey. People desiring to 20 from one
city TO the other want to go in hurry.
No doubt a trolley line could a ford a much
cheaper fare, ana that would be an in
ducement to some, but il is doubtful if the
number would heanywhere near so large
as many think it would No trolley line
could possibly provide mora comfortable
accommodations than are now provided.
Both the Pennsylvania and the Reading
roads make every effort to satisfy the
travelling public between the two great
cities, and the absence of complaints shows
that they are successful.
trolley road would, of course, get a
very large amount of local passenger
traffic, but unless a larger fare per mile
was charged than on street railways
it is a question whether it would be large
enough to afford profit on the capital in
vested. The steam roads would put on
| cheap accommodation trains, in all proba-
hility and the connection \vOuld hurt
| the business of the trolley greatly.
The statement that a trolley road could
be built between New York and Phila-
dclphia for a very small sum compare
lively can hardly be correct. There
would have to be a double track, and the
rights Of way would be very costly, be-
cause the land for the whole distance is
immensely valuable. The proposed
trolley road may be built, but
not so soon as the publications in
the New York papers would lead the pub
! lie to believe.

BEAUTY CONTESTS OF VIENNA.
Three Interesting Occasions When Choice

Three interesting Occasions when ChOtCe
Is Made by Popular Vote.
There are three contests among
the pretty girls of Vienna for the
prize of beauty every year. The first,
held on the summit of Mount Kah-
lenberg, takes place on ST. Anne's
day and is attended by all the not
ables of the city, including foreign
ambassadors. Every visitor, on pay
ing a coin equivalent to about 10
cents, receives a ticket which en-
titles him to record one vote for the
lady whom he deems the most beau.
tiful. 1t used to be open tothe fair
ones to canvass for themselves, and
many of the most enterprising would
boldly address a perfect stranger,
and with a a winning smile inquire
whether he did not consider her
worth a vote, whereupon he would
calamity offer his ticket. However,
that practice has been stopped, and
the utmost that a pretty candidate
is allowed to do is to appoint a male
canvasser OF to ask you what o'clock
it is or at what time the votes will
be counted. And the curiosity among
them for information of that kind is
quite amazing. But it is natural
enough, for a beauty prize is as good
as a dowry and throws open the
gates of matrimony to the crowned
m People from near and far throng
to these contests. Several first class
military bands r performing all
the afternoon on the mountain.
Toys, gingerbread, indigestible eat
ables, flags and lanterns are offered
for sale. All the ingredients Of a
regular fair-a Dutch kirmess-are
scattered over the place in abun-
dance, the whole ending in a bril-
liant display of fireworks at night.
At about 10 o'clock all those ladies
who have received the votes of their
admirers enter the brilliantly lighted
hall where the members of the CON-
mittee are seated, adorned with

results are read out: Miss A., hav-

Miss B., with 500 votes, has the Sec
