case, involving the right OF Dnno,.
Dupont to a seat in the senate froh-A
state of Delaware, was taken up in the
senate today, with view to conclud-
ing the debate and taking final vote.
A brief colloquy between German and
Mitchell developed that difference of
opinion existed as to the character of
the vote to be taken. When German
spoke of the unaniomus agreement to
vote, Mitchell admitted the correctness
of the statement, but added significant
ly that the character of the vote would
be determined when the vote was
reached, which was open to the mean
ing that the case would be postponed
until next session. Platt spoke in sup
port of Mr.. Dupont's claim.
Washington, May 1S.-By a vote of
81 to 30, the senate determined today
that Henry A. Dupont was not entitled
to seat in the senate from Delaware.
This closed long and animated con-
troversy, which had been one of the
most notable contests of its kind in the
history of the senate. The result was
in doubt up to the last moment, and
this lent added intrest to the final vote.
There had been some question as to the
direction of Stewards vote, but it was
with those of the Democrats and Popu-
lists, and was the decisive vote in de-
claring Dupont not entitled to seat.
Before taking the vote, Platt spoke for
Dupont, and Villas against him. Ba-
con spoke against the issue of bonds
without authority of congress. Reso-
lutions were proposed by Morgan for an
inquiry as to our treaty rights with
Spain, and Gallinger relating to the
need of additional enactments.

We do not cite these facts as con-

Dental election, or that it haH an equal

they give unmistakable evidence that
the Republicans have not so "sure

afford to run unnecessary risks. The
Democrats of the country arc not dead.
They have been greatly disheartened
by the failures of their party in Con-
gress, and thousands of them have
stayed away from tho polls in recent
elections on that account. But tho
conduct of the present Republican Con
gress has cheered them up bit on this
point, by showing them that one
party is no worse than the other in this
respect, and they are beginning to
vote again. They have not gone over
to the Republican party. and the ex-
citement of presidential campaign
will bring them in practically solid
mass into active politics again. The
town elections foreshadow this unmis-
takably, and the Republicans will bo

There have always been vague tradi-

interior, but when the tales have come
to be tested the white race general,
turns out to be merely tribe of lighter
colored Arabs, keeping all the charac-
teristics of the race and having none of
the white mans. But in this race we
have something much moro correct and
precise, says writer in the London
News.
Capt. Larymore, at present A. ID.
G. to Sir Francis Scott, Was sent up to
horanza on mission and stayed a
considerable time in the capital He
took advantage of the opportunity to
inquire about this comparatively un-
known race and its neighbors and was
surprised to find that there was an ac.
cepted tradition that there lived, an
Indefinite number of days marches to
the northeast, a tribe of white men.

that they lived on the skirts of desert
which was difficult and dangerous 10

avoid this desert by passing through
their country, but they were found to
be 30 fierce and SO absolutely devoid of
fear that the caravans preferred tho
dangers uf the desert to tho hostility
Of the white trihr.

Reverence for the Bible.

There is sin prevalent in our

IT is SURELY COMING.

Since the results of the variou;
State Conventions have demonstrated
that the Republican National Conyen
ton will indorse the gold standard
and denounce free silver coinage al
the ratio of 10 to /, our silver Repub
lican exchanges have found something
besides the money question to write
about. They are industriously incul'
eating the idea that after all protec'
ton is the Issue, and no matter what
position the platform may take ON
the silver question, the Mckinley idea
OF protection is sufficient to keep all
Republicans in the middle of the
road.--Visalia Times.
You have not heard any such
change in language found in the Bee.
No matter what happens, this paper
will always be--as it ever has been
devoted to the aus OF the people
against the gold gamblers. 1t will
ever champion the rights Of silver.
1t will ever battle Tor the declaration
by the Government that every dollar
stamped by 1t must be accepted 10y its
citizens at its face value. 1t Will ever
crusade for Il law making ii II felony
to d~epreciatc the face value OF any
money issued by the Government.
The cause OF silver may not win be-
fore the coming Republican National
Convention. But it is rs certainly des-
tined to achieve victory shortly, as
the stars are to shine and and the sun
to shed it warming rays.
And when the day OF triumph shall
come, every Republican newspaper
in California, which now blows Il
golden note, or is silent for fear Of dis
turbing the harmony OF those who
are blowing, will rush 10 the front
and loudly trumpet forth that it 'iLs
wei been a loyal knight for the
cause.
But the Bee has not despaircd OF
the st. Louis Convention. 1t hopes
and believes yet that a victory n be
gained for silver on the floor of that
National Convention, which will
SKATER the confidence of the gold bugs
and give renewed hopes to the silver
ties. At any rate, 1t does not believe
that a battle was yer won by waiting
for II victory to come along.
The time to say that the St. Louis
Convention will not declare for silver
is after it has absolutely refused to so
declare - not before. - Sacramento

nent farmers on the trncSce Meadows

tons Of the valley.
Tho pest is commonly known as the
meadow mole Il little animal two or
three times larger than an ordinary

in and around Glendale. Some idea
can be formed of how numerous they
are. from giving one instance of Mr..

took a small dog one morning II short

Of hours. killed iG2 mules ON a rart of

MIR Martin says they hurrow quite
deep and attack the alfalfa roots
where they are tender, cutting OH
and entirely killing the plants. He
says that us soon ms they have de.
stroyed IL patch they move to
another, and 60 from field TO field.
Drowning them out has been tried
with some success. but they will find
higher ground or CLIMB up into the
stalks Of the alfalfa. until the water
has subsidized, and then renew the
attack. They breed remarkably fast
and at the rate of from eight to ten at
Il litter. II something is not done,
and that soon, to- check or destroy
them they will, in his opinion, ut the
rate OF increase OF the last year or
two, take the valley in Il short time.
He thinks that it is something that
should receive serious consideration.
and that no time should be lost, us an
