The Senate is in a bad humor with it,
self. It has neglected to take care Of
its own interests. In the midst of its
chickering's during the past few weeks it
forgot to include in the appropriation an
item for mileage for senators. The sena-
tors always pay themselves % cents a
mile for travelling expenses at the begin
ming and ending of each session. When
new senator's arrive they look for their
mileage right away, and the older ones
watch for the mileage regularly. But the
fact that an extra session of the Senate
will be held before the regular session
seems to have escaped every senator's
attention, and no appropriation for mile
age was made. New senators, therefore,
will have to wait until next winter before
they can begin to share in one of the Sen
ate's choice perqusites

After they had shaken hands, says the
Chicago Post, the seedy one gave a few
minutes to a close inspection of the one
who looked prosperous.
You must have struck Ii rich" said
the seedy one at last.
Not at ALL replied the prosperous one

"Of course; of course" returned the
seedy one. But what's the matter with
my genius?"
The prosperous one shrugged his Shout

Possibly you don't know how to pre-

last. That was what stood in my way a
long time"
THAT may be it," admitted the seedy
one. How did you finally succeed"
The prosperous one hesitated for a min
ute, but finally consented to give his less
fortunate eomrade the benefit of his ex-
perience.
You see. I have young brother" he
began.

Yes, but

An anti-spitting crusade seems likely to
succeed the anti-high hat crusade. A
number of cities lately have made 1t a
misdemeanor to spit on the floors of street
cars and other public conveyances, and
in public halls. The Louisville Courier
Journal says it is not questioned that
cities have the right to chase the four-leg-
ged hogs off the streets by legislation,
and that they have the same right TO
regulate the two-legged hog on the street
cars and in other public places.

"Hushed-Up" Entertainments.
From the Columbia (s. ca State Dem)

Another OF the causes for the Increase
OF smbezzlement is the numerous cases
that are flushed up" The fear of ex-
posure doubtless, often furnishes a check
when the moral sensibilities are benumb-
ed and In communities where IL is the
rule for defalcation by men OF family
standing and with influential friends TO
be kept out OF newspapers and smoothed
over, Il Is not surprising that there should
be many cases requiring such conceal
ment In this matter of mistaken charity,
we are not prepared to say that every
community I'm South carolina is free from
criticism. and Il cannot be said that il
has proven either a moral or financial
success. There are eases where the veil
OF charity may be turned Into cloak
for crime.

we have no hesitation in saying that he
deserves the kindly esteem and the CRATE
full remembrance of the American people;
and though a large section of his own
party is now estranged from him, we feel
sure that the democracy at no distant day
will reconfirm him in its affections, and
that in the party temple his will be re-
garded as the name of a true, a tried and
a fearless champion of the people.

American Warships at Havana.
Springfield (Mass) Republican Qnd).

After all, If the United States did station
warships in Havana harbor it would be
no necessary cause for war. Gen. Grant
kept warships there a good deal of the
time during the l0-years' war, and it was
considered entirely legitimate. But, of
course in so far as the attending circum-
stance should now make the act of sending
a warship seem a threat the relations
between Spain and the United States
would be somewhat more strained. That's
all.

Kansas has been raising brains for mar
ket and the market is overstocked. That
is to say, brains are going TO waste in
Kansas with few takers. State Senator
Lewelling, speaking upon the bill to re-
duce salaries of about all the officers
in the state, said that good judges" could
now be had for SIS a month, and good
professors" for the same price. and other
good servants of the public for CORE
spondingly low hire. There seems to be
only one thing for Kansas to do, and that
is to curtail her crop Of brains until the
demand catches up with the supply.

Clean Streets.

Already the streets and lanes, since the
mayors order relative to throwing waste
paper and advertising circulars in the
streets, have a much cleaner appearance.
If the order is strictly enforced it will
not be very long before the people will
readily yield obedience to 1t. Instead of
throwing waste paper in the streets and
lanes, they will deposit in some place from
which il will find its way directly into the
scavenger wagons. ItSs about as easy for
people to make a proper disposition of
waste paper as it is to throw 1t down
wherever they happen to be. A strict en-
forcement of the order for a few weeks
is all that will be necessary to get the
people into the way of complying with it.
When the work Of improving the squares
was begun several years ago signs were
put up warning people to keep off the
grass and policemen were told to arrest
persons who were caught violating the
ordinance, making it an offense to tram
pie the grass. The ordinance was obeyed
for awhile. but the police became neglect
full of their duty and it wasn't long be-
fore people walked across the squares and
grass plats whenever it suited their fancy
to do so. If the police had continued
their surveillance for a year or so there
would have been no more difficulty in
protecting the grass.
If the mayor persists in enforcing his
order relative to waste paper and cireu-
lars for a few months, we shall not only
have much more slightly streets and lanes,
but the people will have come to under
stand that they will not be permitted to
litter the streets with paper bags, circu-
lars and other refuse that ought to go di-
rectly to the garbage barrel The mayor S
purpose is to make Savannah a clean, as
well as a beautiful city, and he should
have the assistance of every citizen in
accomplishing that purpose

1hc Immirrntion Run Vetoed.

II is a question whether the President
acted wisely in vetoing the immigration
bill, although it was far from being a sat
isfactory bill, yet it would have had a
beneficial effect in the direction of re-
strIcting the kind of immigration which is
regarded as undesirable.
1t may be the President took the ground
that if the bill were permitted to become
a law it would stand in the way of secur-
ing more desirable law. The bill was
faulty. There Is no doubt about that and
IL will be contended, and with some show
of reason, that its faults could have been
corrected by subsequent legislation.
There is a strong demand throughout the
country for restriction of immigration, and
the next congress will be forced by pub
lie sentiment to comply with It, 1t is not
by any means certain, however, that a
more satisfactory bin than the one vetoed
will be passed. Our doors have been open
so long to all who cared to come to our
shores as home seekers or as temporary
sojourners that it will be difficult to get
congress all at once TO enact restrc-
tive law that would have much effect IN
restricting immigration. IL is probable we
shall have to reach the end aimed at by
successive steps. Assuming that such viii
be the case, It would have been better to
have given the measure which the Presi-
dent has vetoed a trial.
There is no doubt that a very large per-
centage Of the immigrants we have
received during the last few years has
had the effect Of reducing wages IN GER
tain lines Of employment. There is no
good reason why We should permit our la
Dor market to be over supplied for the
benefit Of Europeans. our FIRST duty is
