Gcnnte Control Assurcl,

For the benefit OF those who may be in
doubt about what will be the political
complexion Of tho next United States
Senate, figures have been prepared by the
American Protective Tariff League show
ing that Republican majority in the up
per House of the Fifty-fifth Congress is
assured. There are four States whore Re
publican Senators to succeed Democratic
members seem certain of election. In
two States Republicans have been elected
already to the both Congress-Foraker in
Ohio to succeed Bricc, and Wellington in
Maryland to succeed Gibson. The other
four counted on as sure are in New York,
where Senator Hills successor is to be
chosen; in Wisconsin, to succeed Villas:
in Indiana, to succeed Voorhees,, and in
Illinois, to succeed Palmer. Then there
ore Kansas, South Dakota and Missouri,
where Republican Senators to succeed
Prefer, Kyle and Vest are not improbable.
Counting the four States first mentioned
as certain to be represented by Republi-
can Senators in the next Congress, and
letting the vacancies in Kentucky and
Delaware balance each other, the now
Senate would stand Republicans, II;
combined opposition 49, That is IA cunscr-
vative view. Should Kansas, Missouri
and South Dakota also elect Republican
senators, rs seems probable, the result
would be; Republicans, 80; combined op-
position 40. This computation takes no
account of the silver Senators whose sue
cessors are to be elected, they being class.

sustained in Utah. which State Arthur
now represents. Senator Brown refused
to bolt the st. Louis convention, but his
term does not expire till March 4, 1898.
All Of this goes to show that the Ropubli-
cans are assured practically of four ma

The late General Francis B. Spinola of
New York was once in gamo of poker
with congressman who was all the time
owing amounts as a result of his losses,
and he would forget to cash in his | o
US. 1t wasn't long before Mr. Bad Pay
obtained from the general $50 worth OF
chips The general kept on winning and
finally cashcd in his original investment
and began to pile up his winnings in an
artistic fashion. Mr.. Bad Pay also finally
struck fine streak of luck, and he, too
was comparatively large winner One of
the party inquired of General Spinola if the
chips in front of him were not all vel.

Spinola with glee. "And don't forget,
general said the man who had Oh SC
many occasions borrowed from every one
at the table, you have $50 in velvet over
here in my pile. Don't forget that. +"
That's all right, my friend, quietly re.

The condition Of the Republican party
In this state seems to be growing more
complicated, rendering success next No
vember very problematical. The Repub
hcan Convention, which met at Dover and
nominated candidates, may have made a
grieyous mistake, and it is an open uues-
ton now, whether the convention which
meets at Georgetown tomorrow, will only
sggrayate the matter, If another set of
candidates shall be nominated unless
some arrangement can be made afterward,
the electoral vote of this State will be Civ
en- to Bryan and Sewall, and we shall have
complete triumph of the Democratic
party, The advice of the Morning News
to the delegates ito stand firm" and to
treat the Dover Convention as nonenity
will lead to the destruction of the party
as certainly IA the sun shines. The better
way would be to submit the matter to the
Republicans of the State and to allow
them to vote on the ticket that shall be
supported, and the course which shall be
pursued, all parties pledging themselves
to abide the decision. If this plan cannot
be adopted, let the entire question of ir-
regularity Or regularity be argued before
the Judges Of the Court or before com.
mittee of seven intelligent men, and their
decision be final.
Honorable Republicans will do anything
that is right to get out of the muddlc,
while the selfish or vindctive, or those
who feel that they are in the wrong
are not willing to make any sacrifice to
uphold the right.
The suggestion of an appeal to the Ma
tional Committee may be satisfactory and
II not, let any other suggestion be made to
overt this threatened calamity.
This Is a crisis in our career, and men
cannot escape the responsibility resting
On them. As Mr.. SpruanCe observed in
his speech at the ratification meeting in
this oity, I'VE must have but one set Of
electors in the field, and he who contrib.
utes BY act of commission or omission to
the nomination Of two sets deserves the
condemnation OF the entire party"
Let all look well to their acts as no one
desires the fame which attaches to the
name of him who applied the torch to the
temple of Diana and caused the destrllc-
ton Of one Of the seven wonders of the
world

they found that the building had been Wis
tied by thieves who carried Off all the sill
verwarc and other valuublcs they had re-
moved from bureaus, the drawers of which
were left open and their contents strewn
on the floor. The intrinsic value of the
silverware is about $3.50, but Mr.. and Mrs.
Gulding do not value it because of that
value only. Many of the pieces had been
in the family for years and were therefore
highly priced
The entrance to the house had been
made through a rear door, which had been
broken open. The police have the matter

stolen property anyway. About year

PARENTS should see that their homes
are made attractive for their children. The
home circle should be the most attractive
spot for the boys and girls. If it was
made so there would be fewer married in
haste to repent at leisure. The home by
oil means should be more attractive than
the club rooms or the saloon. Try it, pa
rents, and see if the young folks won't
want to stay more about the home and
enjoy the company Of their young friends.

like home no matter whether it be palace

great change was made in banner por-

campaign four years ago. Mr.. Cleveland
was booked TO make one OF = his rare

to speak hung an immense picture Of him.
When Mr. Cleveland rose to speak the
people looked wonderingly at him and at
the banner. Where did you get that fiag2'

house. The black hair, the rosy cheeks and
the Roman nose on the banner contrasted
so strongly with the grayish hair and the
fat, rugged features OF the man who was
speaking. 1t was like the Germans shock

TURKISH sTORY-TELLERs.
Some of the Gems with which They
RegaIe Their Auditors.

From the New York Times
The professional story-teller still exists
In Turkey. In that land books are not in
every home as in this, the newspapers
are few and far between, and never the
interesting sheets they are here. 1t fol-
lows that person who has fund OF
bright stories which he can tell well is
in great demand. These story-tellers are
usually found in the large public restau-
rants, where they attract customers, ana
after q story collect their fees from the
crowd In the month OF Ramazin when
night is turned into carnival Of reyelry,
the story-teller is at his best. Gayly
dressed, in jacket, waisteoat, and fun,
baRRy trousers of gaudy colors, richly en-
broidered in gold, he sits, cross-legged. on
a raised dais above his audience quick
witted fertile in imagination, he speaks
with inimitabe action, ACCOMPANYING ms
description Of every scene with all the
accessories Of portraying tongue, chang
ing expression, eloquent shrug, ana ges-
ticulation that his subject demands-Bes-
lures and signs whose full signlncance
can be appreciated only by natlYe-porh
Oriental. Sometimes the story-tellers go
I'm pairs like Karaghenz and Hadji-aivat,
who are the acknowledged princes Of sto-
ry-tellers in Constantinople-ado the
question and answer style, after the FASH
ION of the end men in the old-time min
strel entertainment. Probably the clev-
crest and brightest story-teller OF them all
Is Nasartin Hodja.
Nasartin is always represented as an
elderly man, with flowing white beard and
innocent expression dressed In a long
gown and turban and holding cane in
his hand. His stories are numbered, like
those af Aesop, and comprise 1856 in the
original. The language Is Turkish and
the style as pithy and concise.
Among his stories are as follows:
One day a wealthy man called upon Ma
sartin Hodja to ask him how much he
would charge to educate his son. Three
hundred piasters." said the Hodja. What
are you talking about?" exclaimed the
man. THAT Is too much. / can buy six
donkeys for 300 piasters." THAT IS well
said" answered Narsartin. but II you
buy six donkeys with your 800 piasters in
stead Of educating your son you will be
master of seven donkeys, including your
son."
One day Nasartin Hodja went to the
