There is another Clay in the Senate.
Since the death OF Charles Turner Clay. Of

there have been none; of that great family
in the upper branch. Butnow another comes
up from Georgia. He is tlistantly related
to the great Kentucky family. but he work
ed his own way to his present prominence.
He is now about forty-fve years of age,
and has been a member of both branches OF
the Georgia legislature, and was for sew
eral years chairman of the Democratic
State committee of Georgia, which made
him most active executive officer of the
party, When death laid it's hand on Charles
F. Crisp at the very moment of his entry
to the Senate vigorous contest ensued
among conspicuous Georgians for the sue
cesslon. Clay's fine political training camein
good use, and he defeated his rivals handily
and succeeded John b. Gordon, who com

pomattox, and who held higher rank than

very tall and slender gentleman, with
broad forehead and a full beard. and the
appearance not SO much of Senator as
of some medium western lawyer. Mr..
Fairbanks was born in Ohio in 1862 and
graduated from the Ohio Wesleyan Uni
versity. He became first a newspaper man,
and then a lawyer, and as his career de-
veloped into railroading aud public affairs
he naturally became a leading Indiana poll
tician. The candidate against him in the
Senatorship race was Gen. Lew Wallace.
though Fairbanks was evidently to be the
winner from the first. Senator Fairbanks
is close friend of Major Mckinley. ard it

George Turner, the new Senator from
Washington has had good deal of expert
ence on several sides in politics. He is
man still short of fifty and has been for
fifteen years conspicuous in Northwestern
political affairs. Long before that, how
ever, he was an active Republican in
Alabama, and as chairman OF the Ala
bama delegation of the Republican con-
yention of 1880, was one of the valiant
Three Hundred and Six, who went down
with the silent soldier, their colors still
flying. Mr.. Turner was territorial governor
of Washington and had been three times
a prominent candidate for the Republican
Senatorial nomination. In the late cam
paign he came out n silver Republican and
made hi campaign for the Senate upon Il at
basis But he has fallen out with the
Populists. He is most brilliant speaker,
striking personality generally, ana
man almost sure to do credit to himself and
his State in the upper branch.
The new Senator from Idaho, Henry
Heitfeld, is the greatest surprise of all.
Notice his career He was born IN st.
Louis in 1859, OF a German father who
died in '67 The boy attended the st.
Louis schools until 1870, when he moved
with his mother to Seneca, in Kansas.

four acres OF land, he was farmer, fruit
grower and cattle man, enjoying the es-
TEEN of his neghbors (who are, OF course,
not very numerous), and reared a good
healthy family OF five children.
Politically, he was Democrat first,
and then Populist and member Of the
Farmers Alliance. On the day OF Cleve-

his political prospect locally, as in "a he

The legislature of Utah lately went
through a most novel and bitter experience
Moses Thatcher, @ millionaire miller and
banker OF Logan, had become a candidate
for the United states Senate. He had re
fused to take counsel with the leaders OF
the Mormon church, OF which he had been
for many years one of the twelve apostles,
and the church therefore determined tode-
feat his aspirations for Senator.
Two years before Thatcher and Joseph
Lafayette RawlinS had been the regular
Democratic nominees of a popular State
convention of the Democrats, that is and
as the event proved, Rawlins not only be-
came the leading candidate against
Thatcher-though he had written letter
declining TO rUn-but, finally, with the
help of the church influence, he beat
Thatcher 1t can we'll be imagined thatan
intense bitterness was engendered; not
only in the legislature, but throughout the
new State, aud it was not surprising to
read that the friends of Thatcher intended
| to contest Rawlins' election on the ground
| that the Mormon church hao interfered in
a manner prohibited by the Constitution.
Rawlins is a pugnacious, brainy gentle
man of fifty; sandy, medium sized, impetu-
| ous He has represented Utah as a dele

origin, has of late years opposed the church

Surveyors Already at Work on a
Route to Klondyke.

Seattle, Wash, July 20.-C. B. McIn-
tosh, governor of the Northwest Terri
tory, in which is included the far-famed
Klondyke district, is in Seattle. The
governor freely subscribed to the truth

richness of the new diggings.
He estimates that the Klondyke and
its tributaries yielded over SO, 900, 900 in
gold last winter. OF this amount ST.

ships Portland and Excelsior. More

grand total that is yet to be made out.
In the Klondyke region 400 claims
have been worked and they have given
employment to 5000 men.
These men who have come out of the
Klondyke with the washings of two
months were compelled to leave for
personal or family reasons, and nearly
all of them have left partners on their

So useless was the medical aid af-
forded the soldiers, and so desperate
were they in consequence, that they
resolved to give up the city to the
enemy.
This resolution came to the ears Of
the Prince of Orange. He Immediately
wrote addresses to the men, assuring
them that he possessed remedies that
were unknown to physicians, and that
he would undertake their cure pro-

of their duty. Together with these adj
dresses he sent to the physician small

Lee Wing was ambitious. For three
long years he had toiled at the wash
board, working day and night until his
very soul revolted at the sight of clean
shirts and the little black beads with
which his employer made change.
He looked all around him and found
men who had been working for many
years at the washboard. and saw that
they were no richer and no better off
than they had been when they first
started in.
Lee Wing decided to get out of the
laundry business. and to go to work at
something else, so that in years he
might become rich and respected.

went down to see his rich kinsman. Lee
