Exaggerated Eulogy.

The journal has already expressed
its opinion of Mr.. Georges ability
and its admiration of his unselfsh-
ness, his sincerity, his honesty of pur-
pose and his unfiinching adherence to
what he regarded as the cause Of JUS
tice and popular advancement. But
there are and have been many other
men who possessed all of these quail
ties in as high a degree as Mr.. George
did. There are many such still living
and there will be others hereafter.
Goodness has not died with Mr..
George, neither have uns~elfishness,
honesty of purpose, philanthropy,
conservation to a cause, nor any OF
the qualities which made him respect
ed. To say that he was a second
John the Baptist, that he was a man
sent from or specially commissioned
BY God. that he was destined to be the
savior of the liberties and the honor
of New York. that he was the great
est of the latter-day saints" is pure
cant. For practical philanthropy and
good works there are thousands OF
American citizens who have done more
than Mr.. George ever did, and there
is a host of men and women who are
at least as we'll entitled to be called
saints. Mr.. Low or Gen. Tracy has
the liberties and honor of New York
as much at heart as Mr.. George did,
though their ideas of maintaining
them may differ from his. We should
not work ourselves into the belief thai
patriotism, public spirit, philanthropy
and all civic and personal virtuehavt
expired with Mr.. George. The gov
eminent at Washington still lives
and the salt of the earth has not los
its savCr.-IndianapOlis Journal.

A Tomb of Buried Eloauence.

In order that oblivion may not n
trely engulf US, the Congress has es-
tablished its Record, a periodical
which appears every day when Con-
gress is in session, and for several
days after, in order to publish speeches
which have been belated in correction
or which first see the light of day in
print. Of course, such a record is
not at all the truth, though most men
respect the %proprieties and do not in
sert in the speech offensive things, or
things unfair to men not present.
Nevertheless, the writer happens to
know of three speeches at least which
were never uttered, containing charges
that would never have been made in
his presence, and which may some
times be cited to show what was
''hurled in his teeth" But Provi-
dence has a balm for every wound.
If the poison is there it is buried very
deep, for there are on earth few tasks
more hopeless than a hunt for a scene
you we'll remember among the vOlu-
minous verbiage of the Congressional
Record. Murder, treason, stratagem
and spoils could find no safer sepul-
ture than in that tomb of the buried
%eloquence of a century. Hon. Thos.

The Senate After March i, 1890.

Thirty States are to choose Senat-
ors before March 4, 1899. One, Mis-
sissippi, has already chosen MIR. Mo-
ney, and three, Ohio, Virginia and
Maryland, have chosen the Legisla-
lures which will elect. In these four
States there will probably be a gain
of one for the Republicans by the de-
feat of German. Of the other twenty
six Senators going out ten are Repub-
licans, twelve Democrats, three silver
Republicans, and one Populist. Leg
islatures to choose the successors OF
these will be elected nex year. The
Senate now contains forty-four Repub-
licans out of a membership of eighty
nine. there being a vacancy from Ore
gon. They are likely to lose no seats
unless it be those in Washington and
Wyoming to Populists or silver Re
publicans. They are likely to gain
five, from Wisconsin, New York,
North Dakota, West Virginia and
New Jersey, and may gain five more
from Indiana, Oregon, Nebraska. Cal
ifornia and Delaware. At worst they
should have forty-eight Senators, and
they may have tifty-four. 1t is safe to
count upon fifty, if conditions do not
change. This would give them an eff
fective working majority of ten and
make it possible to carry out the cur
rency reform legislation which will
get no hearing in the present Senate.
