has arrived to look out for the English
money invested in those roads. The
impression is growing that this is an
other important question that will be
left Enacted upon.
Senator Burrows, of Michigan, to. day
began his senatorial career, and no man
ever started in with more good wishes
than he. Although one of the strongest
partisans on all political questions who
ever sat in the house, Mr.. Burrows has
always been highly esteemed personally
by his political opponents. That his
career in the senate will be quite as
marked as the one he made in the house
is your correspondents prediction.
Representative-elect Huff, of Pennsyl-
vania, who is successful business man.
is in Washington looking over the
groud of his future labors. He says
1.-The country is sick and tired of agita-
ton and ought to be given a rest. The
President may choose to call an extra
session, but I should think it very I'M
desirable from democratic standpoint,
as it is inimical to the business interests
of the country. Senator Sherman has
advanced a good plan of relief and do
not see why the democratic majority
should not act along the liEes of his
measure if they really want to enact
some currency legislation.
1t will be long time before Senator
Black burn, of Kentucky, hears the last
of his ridiculous and silly statement,
that the city of Walla Walla, Washing
ton, was not on railroad. It was one
of the most glazing displays of ignorance
ever made on the floor OF the senate,
and it will be strange, indeed, if those
who oppose Blackburn's reelection to
the senate do not make good use of it in
the legislative campaign in Kentucky
this year.
Some of the members of the house
committee on the judiciary having be-
come ashamed of the undue haste with
which that committee ordered the prep
aration and the presentation of an i'm
parchment resolution against Judge
Kicks, of Ohio, the committee has re-
considered its action, in order to give
Judge Kicks a hearing, and no one will
be surprised if the committee finally
votes against impeachment.

After hot, but not bitter contest OF
eight days, including Sunday, which
was publicly used by both sides, the re-
publican legislators of Kansas unani-
mously nominated Lucien Baker, OF
Leavenworth, who now represents that
constituency in the state senate. Mr..
Baker is not politician, and was not
one OF the contestants in last week 8
struggle. He has never held office ex-
cept that of state senator and formerly
county attorney.
Lucien Baker was born in Graham
township, Fulton county, Ohi@. 48 years
ago. His early education was in the
common schools and three years in the
Methodist Wesleyan college at Adrian,
Mich.
In April, 1869, he came to Leaven-
worth. and has since that time been en-
gagged in the practice of his profession
in that place. In 1892 he was elected
city attorney of Leayenwprth. In 1892
he was nominated and elected by the
republicans of Leavenworth county for
state senator, defeating Hon. Thomas
P. Fenlon by an overwhelming majority
of more than $500, running largely
ahead of his ticket.
Mr.. Baker was married in Leaven-
worth in 1872 to Miss Mary Higinboth-
am, daughter of Hon. John Higinboth-
am. He has one son, Bur Baker, at the
Ann Arbor, Mich, law school: one
daughter, Miss Mary L., aged IS, who is
attending Vassar college. Mr.. Baker
has made about 100000 from the prac-
tice OF his profession.
More than quarter of a century of
such life in the oldest city of Kansas,
and for most of the time the principal
city, has made our candidate thoroughly
acquainted with public affairs, though
not much in public life. He will be like
the late Senator Plumb. a power in the
nation, and with ingalls,, who will come
in two years after him, will make as
strong team as there is in the senate
