previously existed in our streets in the
shape of vacant lots have been closed

painting anything optomistic, at the same

TIE SENATE COMMITTEES.

The COMMITTEES of the Senate passed into
the control of the republicans yesterday even.
ing. 7 he change in the political complexion
of the committees was effected by the adoption
of 3 resolution organizing the committees as
agreed to by the republican and democratic
steering committees. The populists, with
the exception Of Mr.. Kyle, of South Dakota,
declined to vote, and the republicans, having
plurality of the Senate, were thus enabled
to adopt the resolution by vote of 30 to %.
Mr. lyle voted with the democrat, against
the reorganization. A two hour debate fol-
lowed the adoption OF the resolution, the
purpose of which was mainly political. The
democrats, under the leadership of Senator
Gorman, seconded by Senator Harris, at
tempted to show that the reorganization was
effected by an allisnce between the repqbli-
cans and populists, contendir z that the silence
of the latter. by making pessible-the reorgani-
zation, indicated acqniescence. They also
insiatad that the republican assumption Of
control saddied them with responsibility for
legislation. The populists. led by Senator
Allen, Of Nebraska, and Senstor Butler, Of
North Carolina, denied that they were in any
fashion responsible for the result. The re-
publicsns, ppder the leadership of Senator
Mitchell, chairman of the republican steering
committee, and assisted by Senators Hosr.
Hale, Allison and Chandler, combatted the
Arguments of the democrats by asserting that
the populists had even refused TO make any
suggestions as to their committee assignments
and had, as matter of fact, been LEFT by the
~ organization in the position to which they
had besn assigned under the democratic con-
troll of the Senate. Tho republicans strongly
protested also against beng held responsible
for legislation.

time ago were most pronounced in their
advocacy of the adoption by all civilized

of war, in the settlement Of interna-

vehement in their demands for war
with Great Britain, ifshe should not

are preachers, who now, even in the

the members of the legislature are dis

large amount of money is now invested
in this business.
The confectionery business is on the
increase and Alexandria made candies s,
cakes &C., are now sold in all the cities,
towns and villages for miles around.
As the use OF tobacco increases so In
oreases this business here, and beside
Alexandria made cigars find ready
market wherever introduced.
The dealers in clothing, hats, shoes,
etc., report that this years business has
fully equalled that of last year.
The dealers in furnaces, stoves, tin
ware, ETC., report fair business during
the year.
The jewellers report no falling off 10
their business and by keeping in stock
all the latest styles and novelties in
their line they now keep at home much
money which was formerly spent in
other CITIES for such articles.
The shipyard has done quite fair
business during the year. Though but
comparatively few large vessels have
been oyerhauled there, many smaller
ones have been and many men have
thus been given employment.
The brick yards have been kept quite
busy during the year, supplying not
only the home market, but shipping
many bricks elsewhere.
aThe business of the railroads and
steamboats, has increased considerably
duriDgthe year-a sure indication OF
the general increasing business Of the
city. Alexandra, with few exceptions,
pays more money than any other point
on the roads centering here, its mer-
chants receiving and shipping goods by
the car load.
As will be seen from the above re.
sumo there is much to feel encouraged
at from business standpoint, and it is
the devout wish of all Ale1andrians
that the city's trade may continue to
ilcl lse, that her limits may extend
year by year, and that her people may
live long and prosper.
