SIXTEEN NEW SENATORS SWORN.

tho Senate.

The Chief Feature of the Proceedings in
tho Senate.
The most interesting part of the senate
proceedings was the swearing in of six.
teen new senators, which with those tax
ing their seats last spring makes the sem
ate nearly one-fourth new blood. And it
is seldom that either branch OF congress
has so many conspicuous public figures
brought into it at one time. Thomas H.
Carter, chairman of the Republican ma
tional committee, made his first bow as
senator, succeeding Power, of Montana.
John M. Thurston, of Nebraska, presid-
ing officer of the national convention that
first nominated General Harrison, and at
torney for the Pacific railways, is another
of the new men. Horace Chiffon, former
governor of Texas, takes the place of Coke.
Stephen b. Elkins always picturesque
and breezy, comes from West Virginia in
place of Camden.

At p. m. the Republican senators met
in caucus, the purpose being to decide
about organization of the senate. If they
decide upon an effort to reorganize, as is
now generally conceded, the Democrats
will follow with q conference tomorrow
or Wednesday, at which they probably
will decide upon course of action. 1t

Congress in Session.

WASHINGTON, Dec g. - Nothing hap
pened in the senate at the opening of the
Fiffy-fourth congress that had not been
expected. The body was called to order
by Vice President Stevenson, the new SEN
ators and those who had been reelected
were sworn in, committee was appoint
ed to notify the president and the usual
resolutions incident to the beginning OF
O session were introduced; the senate took
a recess of an hour at 1928 p. M, and at
1880 adjourned after an absolutely un-
eventful session.
The house of representatives has passed
into the control of the Republicans and
Thomas Bracket Reed, Of Maine, has
again triumphantly assumed the speaker
gavel. His vote was 234 to 95 for Crisp.
The usual committees to notify the presi-
dent and senate were appointed, seats
were drawn and the house adjourned.
There were brilliant audiences present in
both houses.
WASHINGTON, Dec 4.-The presidents
message was read in both houses. after
which there were in the senate 2SS bills
and resolutions introduced. The more
important of these were the Monroe doc
trine and Cuban resolves, tho former of
which by Lodge and Cullom were prac.
tically challenge to Great Britain to
settle her dispute with Venezuela with
out the consent OF the United States. One
Cuban resolution called for recognition of
independence. The nomination of Olney
secretary of state, and Harmon, attorney
general, were confirmed and the nomina-
ton of Rufus w. Peckham to the supreme
court was referred.
The session in the house was very brief
and was consumed entirely by the reading
the presidents message. Then there were
a number of bills and resolutions intro
duced, one being call on Great Britain
to explain why she has not replied to the
congressional advice given her last year.
House adjourned to Friday.

TO THE POLE BY BALLOON.

70 The north pole will be a standing
challenge to the venturesome, I'M
til some plucky and courageous man
of some race and cline shall find it
and nail his country's flag to it.
From Franklin to Peary there is a
line of men who have accepted the
Challenge and been worsted in the
contest. Men, too, have been who
contributed Of their means to aid,
and governments have borne part
in the hitherto fruitless search. The
fey's Napoleon, grand, gloomy and
peculiar, wrapped in the mantle of
it's own originality" The practical
man discourages these repeated at
tempts, seeing no gain to be had in
lucre from success; but it is well
for humanity that practical men
have not dominated action, else the
Chippewa and the Sioux would still
be waging their wars on the site of
st. Paul.
The spirit that moves men to I'M
fold the mysteries of the upper pole
is the same that sent the early nav
igators out on the trackless ocean.
It is the same spirit that impels the
boy OF today to plunge into the deep
est forest and enjoy the sense of the
fancied discovery of places where,

ism. "the hand of man has never

noble part, moving MAYNARD and
Godward
That there is disappointment for
somewhat of their aspiration is
nothing. That their movement will
broaden and deepen and become
more general in it's purposes, and oc-
casionally mistake them, until in
some future day there arises a sue
cessor, is but part of the one great
plan. The fact which means more
to the world than the discovery of
a new planet or new motive power
is that the moral forces of the race
are not falling to decay. They dis
sipate, they gather, they are routed,
they bear the foe back by another
inch, but they persist forever. And
through them it is that the world
of men and women, the world of the
social and political state, the world
of doubt and fear and deathlesS
hope of everlasting things is still
carried onward through the count
less centuries in it's infinitely slow
but sure and steady pace to that
far-off, divine event, toward which
the whole creation moves"

NOT A SENSATIaN-

The silly attempt of a MINNEAPOLIS
evening paper to get up a census
excitement of publishing a scare ar
ticle, declaring that the returns in
st. Paul were being padded, fell
stillborn. Neither of these cities has
any appetite for a renewal of the
census war of 1890. 1t did both of
them incalculable harm abroad, and
set back by years the growth of
cordial and helpful relations at
home. The people are ready with a
club for the man who attempts to
repeat that experience. It is really
unnecessary to state that the asser-
lions of the paper in question were
pure sensationalism, without even
an appearance of fact behind them.
A citizens committee has been at
work, in Minneapolis as we'll as in
st. Paul, to supply deficiencies in the
work of the state enumerators and
secure an accurate count. Both of
these committees, as far as we are
informed, have been. doing their
work honestly and conscientiousIy.
And good work it is, that should
have the hearty cooperation and as
sistance of all the people, The eff
fort of small sheet to fabricate
sensation out of this is solely for
the purpose of selling newspapers,
and nobody will give it a second
thought or hold the people of Mime
apolis responsible for its nonsensicaI
statements.

FAILING RAPIDLY.

The decline of public interest in
the free coinage question is even
more rapid than we had supposed.
AT the present rate of progression,
it will be impossible to get up a de-
bate or an audience to listen to sill
yer talk after a few weeks more
have passed. Following the silver
convention in Colorado, at which
thirty persons were present, comes
one in Maryland, at which an even
score of delegates appeared; and
nineteen of them, on Investigation,
proved to be neither Democrats nor
Republicans, but Populists. The
editor of one Colorado paper has
had sufficient bravery to announce
boldly that he is through with the
business. He says that the silver
agitation has pretty nearly ruined
