The latest ballot reported from Ken
lucky shows that at the outset in the
senatorial contest Blackburn polled his
full strength. About a dozen goldbug
democratic votes go scattering day az
ter day, Carlisle getting some of them
and McCreary scoring a few. NC
Creary longs to get into the senate ana
the administration would put him there
IL that were possible, because he mas
proved himself to be a subservient
cuckoo. Undoubtedly the little contin-
gent that trains with McCreary would
prefer a republican to Blackburn; 1t Is
made up of people who, at the behest of
the white house helped to carry Ken

Der. Hunter. the republican candidate,
came very near getting elected day be-
fore yesterday. That he will win, in
the end, seems likely.

Good Enonnh As 1t Is.

Somebody is after Senator Davis with
a sharp stick. In his recent effort in
the senate, Mr.. Davis calls for a new
announcement Of the Monroe doctrine.
He supplies a bill of particulars, emu
merating the things which Europe
shall not do on this hemisphere and
widening the application of the views
promulgated by President Monroe.
Among others newspapers, the New
York World is inspired to say that
Senator Davis is prompted by sordid
motives; that he has powerful constit-
uents who are interested in land-grab-
bling and gold-speculation schemes in
Venezuelan territory; that this COM
pany has a concession on fifteen million
acres in the disputed strip; that certain
representatives of the syndicate have
recently been presented to high Off
Gals of Venezuela with credentials
signed by Senator Davis-and so on
through a lot of sensational accusa-
tions.
1t may be that there is not word
of truth in these charges; it may be
grossly unjust to impugn Senator
Davis motives-the British press in
New York would be reckless in Its
charges If only it could make point
in London's favor. But, in any event
the best way is TO let the Monroe doc
| trine alone. 1t is all right just as II has
| come down to us from the time wher
John Quincy Adams shaped it to be

sage to congress.

The Senator fr1m Idaho

Mr.. Dubois had the floor in the SEN
ate while the silver conference was in
session at the other end of Pennsyl-
vania avenue yesterday. Silver was
the senator's theme, although the por-
zion OF his talk reported by the asso-
ciated press relates chiefly TO the rela-
tive corruption OF politics east and
west. Mr.. Dubois told the truth re-
specting political wickedness I'm New
York; whether II is worth a western
senator's while to notice the scurrilous
talk of the New York press in regard
to silver constituencies, is question.
on the merits of the question, Mr..
Dubois announced that he cannot
travel with the populists. We suppose
that. in these words. he intended to
serve notice on the populists who are
in Washington and whose mission is
TO urge the silver men to meet the
populsts in convention at some con-
yenient date after the democrats and
the republicans have announced their
platforms.
Not enough of the speech Of Senator
Dubois IS at hand 10 suggest conclu-
slons as 10 his intentions. The general
presumption is that he proposes to
fight for silver within the lines Of the

In a Hard Filht.

California proposes to fight Hunting
ton hard; the effort of the coast Will De
to defeat the refunding scheme which
will be worked through congress, If
rich and powerful lobby can do 1t, in
the interest of the railroad magnates.
In Congress the Californians are not as
we'll equipped as they formerly were.
Mr.. Geary was a good fighter and
man of influence in the house Of repre-
sentat ives. He was defeated for re-
election, and the member who succeeds
him is not a very strong man. Mr..
Caminetti had served two terms in the
house and was active in opposition to
the schemes of the Huntington ring,
but he was defeated as a candidate for
the Fifty-fourth congress. Other tried
men in California were put aside for
novices IN Washington who were elect
ed through the Huntington influence.
Besides, things are not in the best OF
shape on other scores. In former test
in the house, Dingley, chairman OF
the committee on ways and means,
was with the railroad ring, so was Mr..
Dalzell, who speaks for the committee
on rules. The Huntington forces are
camped at Washington, and by hook or
crook they propose to have their way
and restrain the government from TAX
ing possession of the property which
ought to have passed long ago into its
hands for operation or reorganization

LincoIns Pictures.

There is but one collection of the por-
traits of Lincoln that pretends to be COM
plete, and that is the collection made by
the publishers of McClure's Magazine.
They have been able to secure either
originals or copies of every photograph,
dagurreotype, ambrotype. drawing or
painting of Lincoln, so far as known, In
existence. There are in this collection 80
photographs, ambrotypes and daguerreo-
types. The best collection of Lincoln
heretofore published in any work con-
tanned 10 portraits. 1t is possible that the
Mcclure collection may be still further
increased. The entire series of portraits
will appear in McClure's Magazine dur
ing the current year. With the February
number 20 of them will have been print
ed. These portraits cover a period Of
about 20 years, are from originals taken
I'm a great many different towns and
cities under a great many different condi-
tons and are so varied, and present
lincoln under so many different aspects.
that the result of the whole collection is
70 make Lincoln vivid and real. so that
even those who never saw him can form
a very accurate idea of how the living
man looked and acted.

Godey's Magazine for February appears
in a beautiful and original cover by T. c.
Ransom-a quaint Japanesque conception
for st. Valentines day. Most striking
among the contents is a profusely illus
trated article on the famous museum
freaks Cleveland Moffett tells some of
the richest stories about the late Eugene
Field, and among the interesting articles
are Studio Life in Paris" What the
Bicycle Does for the Muscles" and de-
scription of how the deaf are taught

on Music in America" which is dis
tinctive and successful feature of Go

discusses Mr.. G. w. Chadwick's works.
Under the head of Talks by Successful
Women" appears an interview with Mrs.
Dunlap Hopkins, who has accomplished
so much for women in New York and
elsewhere. The fiction of this number Is
unusually strong and abundant, includ-
ing a farcical spook story by Tudor jerks
and an intense romance by Robert c. V.

republican party. We are not speak
ing in a partisan spirit, yet the con-
clusion is manifest that the advocate
of silver who asserts that within the
ranks of republicanism silver has hope,
stuPtifies himself and does the cause
as much harm. at least, as all the good
he accomplishes. We are not presuming
to imply that silver is safe with the
democracy of to-day; but the one rec
ognized fact in national affairs is that
silver's most aggressive and telling
enemy is the republican party. or
course, Mr.. Dubois knows this; but he
has his own motives for his course, as
the rest of the politicians have.
