Every human being has some ideal,

Usual Applause the Reading of the

The senators showed tho keenest in
terest in the reading of the message
There was hardly a vacant seat on the
Republican side of the floor and but few
absentees on the Democratic side.
AS the reading of the message closed
there was a hearty hand clapping from
all quarters of the chamber, Mr.. Chand-
Ter Rep, n. H. leading in the demon
stration on the Republican side. 1t was
indeed an innovation to the usual
decorum of the senate where the
senators seldom if ever give vent to
their feelings of applause. Veterans of
the senate say'it was the most spontane-
Gus demonstration in their recollection
The message and accompanying docu-
ments were referred to the committee on
foreign relations and then at 1-15 p. m,
the senate adjourned.

From the State Journals Special Cores spondent
WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-The Populists
in the senate are very much gratified
over the predominance of the silver sen
timent in that body, and its victory in the
prospective reorganization The pro-
posed action of the Populists which will
allow the Republicans to organize the
senate by their refusing to vote after the
first few ballots, was probably deter
mined upon because of the friendliness
of the majority toward silver. In return
for this the Populists will be better cared
for in the matter of committees.
Senator PETER, when asked what he
considered the prospect for silver legis-
lation in the senate this session, said:
"The first visible effect of the Popu-
list course with respect to the reorgani-
cation of the senate is the change in the
political complexion of the committee
on finance, which, just now, is the most
important committee of the senate.
"The new committee will have a ma
jority of silver men, aud we may, there
fore. reasonably expect some practical
legislation along silver lines during the
present session.
sin the senate we have a good work
ing majority aud can pass any bill that
we agree upon. We may not all get
just what we want, but we shall have
made good beginning, l hope"

KANSAS MAN WANTS IT.

An Ark ansas City Man Desires to Run the
House Restaurant.
From the State Journals Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Dec 17.-With the
change of politics in the house comes
the desire for a change in the house res
tauraut and of course it is fitting and
suitable that a Kansas man should be
after it. A little astonishing perhaps
that Kansas man should want to sell
beer and other drinkables to wash down
the food of the peoples representatives.
but when one is in Rome they have to do
as the Romans.
This particular Kansan who is after
the privilege of running the house res-
taurant is J. jolly Jones, formerly Of
Arkansas City, but who is now running a
restaurant in Washington. Though do
ing business here he claims a residence
in Kansas and was there in 1892 to vote
He wishes to have the solid
endorsement of the Kansas delegation
for the place and has already been prom
ised the support of most of them.
The privilege is let by the speaker and
the committee on public buildings and
grounds
There is general complaint of the
house restaurant at present. one member
saying he hadn't had anything decent to
eat there in years and he would support
anybody so it would effect change.
The man under whose management
the restaurant is at present run is Tom
Murray, Tammany man. 1t is thought
eminently proper that since the house is
overwhelmingly Republican no Demo
crat phould cater to the yearnings OF its
stomach.
Ii may be therefore that although
Kansas lost the privilege of praying for
the spiritual welfare of the members of
the house, it may be it will have the over
seeing of that shorter route to a mans
heart through their stomachs.

issue comes to the front in the next few
months. Should the tariff be brought
forward as the principal issue that would
of course be in McKinley's favor. If,
however, the question of finance is ad-

his expressed views are hardly to the

SMALL TOWNS AGAY GET THEM.

From the State Journals Special Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7-Representative
Broderick has in the last few days re-
received scores of letters commanding
fraud in the United States courts before
a pension may be taken away from a
pensioner. These letters he says were
not confined to Kansas, but came from
four other states, Colorado, Oklahoma,
Missouri aud Nebraska.
MIR. Broderick says he has no bills ask
ing for appropriations, as the only towns
in his district of considerable size have
public buildings. Referring to what
might be done sometime Mr.. Broderick
said: ''When the treasury gets in better
shape there may be something done
toward having government buildings in
the smaller towns There was a bill
passed in the senate at one time through
Senator Poilock's efforts which provided
for the erection of public buildings in
towns of from 5000 to 1000 inha abitants.
''Of course nothing of that kind could
be done with the finances of the country
in their present condition, but it will be
a good thing to do at future time. 1t
would save the government both trouble
and money. Almost all the bitterness
engeudered in postoffice fights is over
tho location of the Office, and if the gov
ernment owned its own building all this
would be done away with"

The unanimity with which the
Republicans of the House voted for
ex-Speaker Reeds substitute for
the administration financial bill
was very gratifying to Republicans
but not to the Democrats who have
been predicting that there would be
as many financial factions among
the Republicans in the next Con-
gress as there are among the Dem
ocrats in this. The administration
was strong enough to prevent the
adoption Of Mr.. Reeds substitute
but not strong enough to prevent
the defeat of its own bill.

sons. Deaths from homesiekn ness are very
common among cats, and, Of course, this

die because removed from the localities

separation from people they are attached

every person it allows to stroke it. A cat
makes few friends, and those are very
strong ones. 1t may live with family
