CHANGES IN THE SENATE.


The most important change in the
United States senate after the close OF
the present congressional term six
weeks hence will be the reduction OF
the present democratic majority to a
minority. 1t does not necessarily fol
low that the republicans will gain con
troll of the senate nor is it certain that
there will be any change in the organ,
iZation of the senate giving the repub.
licans the advantage, butt is certain
that the democrats will not have q ma.
jority. The present senate consists OF
SO republicans, Al democrats, and pop.
ulists. AS there are three vacancies,
the democrats have a majority over
all. These three vacancies will be
filled in the next congress by republican
senators and the foOtings will appear
as follows: Republicans, 43; demo
Gratis, 80; populists, 6. The republicans
will lack two of IL majority and the
democrats will be short six. The pop
ulists will in fact hold the balance of
power.
There is only one way in which the
republicans are likely to get control of
the senate and that is by the admis-
sion of new state and the selection of
new republican senators. 1t appears
probable that should Utah be admitted
1T would send two republican senators,
and should new state be made in
Oklahoma there would be a chance to
get two more. In case of the death of
ii democratic or pOpulist senator in
Kansas, Illinois, South Dakota, Nebras-
ka or some other of the states while the
legislatures are in session a republican
would be selected. 1t thus appears
practically certain that the closing two
years of the democratic administration
of national affairs will be spent with
republican hOnse and a deadlock
senate.
Of the 30 senators whose terms ex-
pire with the present congress, II are
republicans and Is democrats. They
will be succeeded by 81 republicans, 10
democrats and pOpDlist. Several of
the old members have already been re.
elected such as Cullom, Perkins, VOL
colt. Pettigrew, Frye, Power, Chan
Gratis in the senate who, will succeed
democrats are: Tillman, South Caro-
lima, succeeding Butler; Chiffon, Tex
as, succeeding Coke; Martin, Virginia,
succeeding Hunton; Bacon, Georgia,
succeeding Walsh; Whithall, Missis-
sippi, succeeding McLaurin. The new
republicans succeeding republicans are:
Gear, Iowa, succeeding Wilson; Mel
son, Minnesota, succeeding Washburn;
Burrows, Michigan, succeeding Patton;
Mantle, Montana, succeeding Power;
Thurston, Nebraska, succeeding Man
derson; Wetmore, Rhode Island, sue
ceeding Dixon; Warren, Wyoming, sue
ceeding Carey. The republicans who
will succeed democrats are; Sewell,
New Jersey, succeeding Mcpherson;
Elkins. West Virginia, succeeding
Camden; Pritchard, North Carolina,
succeeding Jarvis; Baker, Kansas,
succeeding Martin. Messrs. Clark and
Carter have been already selected to
fill vacancies in Wyoming and Mon.
tana. Butler, of North Carolina, will
succeed Ransom, a change from demo
crat to populist. About one-half of
the new men in the next senate have
seen service in one branch of congress
before. The contests in Idaho and
Delaware have not yet deem deter
mined.-Sio,tr city Journal.

UTILIZING WASTE PLACES.

On nearly every farm there are lands
that are unfit for general cultivation,
which ought to be put down into per-
manent pastures. What grasses to
SOW on such places is what troubles
most farmers. We believe there is no
grass for permanent pasture like that
of blue grass. 1t is not summer
grass, like that of timothy and clover
for it ripens in June, and does not grow
we'll through July and August. But
in September as the weather cools and
fall rains come it starts and outdoes
any other grass. 1t also starts before
any other in the spring of the year and
furnishes more feed to the acre than
either clover or timothy up to the first
of July. 1t is emphatically the spring
and fall grass of the farm. There is
also another advantage in raising it
for permanent pastures, and that is
tramping does it but little harm. The
writer has had patches of it all cut to
pieces in the early spring with horses
running over it, and yet when summer
come it came out as though nothing
had happened. Horses will winter on
it and come out fat in the spring with
out any grain or hay, even though
covered with snow. 1t is grass that
is easy to start, butt. takes at least
three years to make good pasture.
One of the best times to sow it is the
early spring, say in March and early
April while the ground is freezing and
thawing. If sown then no need of
worrying about it's not catching. For
time the writer cut off few acres of
timber each year and in February or
March sowed broadcast to clover, tim
othy, and blue grass. The first sum-
mer there was a good pasture of clover
and timothy. The second year there
was a good spfinkling of blue grass
and timothy and clover, and the third
SINNER there was a we'll set blue grass
pasture. We never had failure when
sown when the ground was still thaw-
ing and freezing. On such land we
used two pounds of blue grass, two
quarts of clover seed, with one peck of
timothy seed to the acre. We would
not recommend the sowing of blue
grass at all on anything but perma-
nent pasture. If well plowed under,
it rots as we'll as that of clover, and
gives no more trouble than any of the
grasses.-G. JAQUA, in Humboldt Re.

THE IDEAL FARMER.

The ideal farmer is aman with broad
and comprehensive reasoning facul-
ties, and thoroughly practical and
liberal education. by liberal educa-
ton mean one not confined entirely
to agriculture, but broad enough to in
clude reasonable amount of discipline
in the sciences related to it.

a kingdom of aspiration. How often W
see men whose lives are reasonable and
faithful, but who are content to plod along
upon the same old level travelled by their
fathers. 1t is well to have ideals but it is
dangerous ever to feel that an ideal has
been reached. Be determined TO know
more and be more than you are tonight
An eternity Is before us, to stop now
would be little short of criminal.
Seek we first the kingdom of Cod that is
seek we first the kingdom of spiritualzed
reason, the kingdom of faithfulness, the
kingdom of aspiration, and then, with all
these, seek the kingdom of his righteous
ness, of the divine rightness.
You may have questioned the statement
that it makes no difference what one does,
but see how completely our principle from
the Bible covers the whole matter: Seek
not only the kingdom of God, but also his
righteousness; not only the divine method,
but the divine life ITSELF
Christianity says: Find out what you
can do best, and then do it according to
the divine method and life. Very brief
and simple is it not, but yet of wonderful
power. BY "all these things which shall!
be added unto you are meant material ne
cessities. The man or woman who incar-
mates reason, and industry and aspirations
will be blessed with a sufficiency of this
worlds goods. But those who seek God s
method and life first will not only have the
material comforts added unto them, but
the higher and more abiding realities, the
intellectual and the spiritual, in the pos
session of which comes true happiness and
glory.
"Seek We first the kingdom of reason, of
faithfulness, of aspiration, of divine right
mess, and all these things shall be added
unto youn

But a Better Diagnosis Would he a
Case of "Wheels In the Head"
The little hill town of Warwick, Mass,
has been agog over hypnotic trance"
One principal was Paul w. Goldsbury, %,
a graduate of Williams college in the class
of 1872, and member of the Moody Inter
collegiate quartet which sang at Chicago
during the, Worlds Fair and has given
concerts all over the country. His father
is Minneapolis real estate dealer, and an
older brother, graduate of Princeton, is
also singer in the Moody quartet. The
other principal is Mrs. A. j. Wessener, %,
wife of Prof. A. j. Wessener of the college
of Physicians and Surgeons in Chicago.
She is fine instructor of music and came
to Warwick to train the quartet. Accord
ing to the first story Goldsbury was a
doubter of Christian science and Mrs. Wes-
sener believer in it. In order to show a
physical manifestation the two clasped
hands, the grasp being retained Is hours.
The couple went from the house where
they were staying out to the common, where
their hands were forcibly parted, after
struggle with Goldsbury, who was locked
up at his summer home. Mrs Wessener
was carried to Mortified and two days
ldIeT RETURNED 10 chicago.
Goldsbury was interviewed Sunday. He
claimed that 'our deep spiritual expert
ence' could not be understood by the world
in general. He claimed that he had no be-
lief in spiritualism, mind reading, Chris
tian science or any other fads. He and
Mrs. Wessener found that their souls were
sympathetic and had an affinity for each
other. He says that one night while a
party were returning from Mt. Grace Mrs.
Wessener had what might be called faint
ing SPELL He was able to assist her through
their affinity They clasped hands for a
long time after reaching the house, but
not for Is hours. All through the night
he soothed and strengthened her by his
presence. The entreaties of their friends
worried them and in the morning they
went out upon the highway to compose
themselves. Postmaster Sampson, Select
man Taylor and VIM. Shepardson sepa-
rated them forcibly, and kept Goldsbury
bound several hours. Mrs. Wessener was
carried to Mortified as soon as possible.
Goldsbury says: 81 have no apologies
to offer. l know l was doing what l was
told to do by God, and l don't care what
people say. We were both led by the
Holy Spirit. 1t was an outpouring, and
we were led by truth, faith and light. l
know people may say that l am not sane,
but know that / am. My success in my
studies shows that my mind is all right"
Goldsbury is well known in Brattleboro.
He has been here several times and once
sang here for week at revival services.
