The general sentiment expressed in
the press of the East is that when .
State fails to elect Q Senator, its Legisla-
ture having full opportunity to do so,
that State consents to be deprived Of its
right to equal representation in the
United States Senate. in the contempls-
tion Of the Federal Constitution. The
Senate itself has laid down the same
rule. and this lie not likely to be changed.

The space occupied by the chief clerk Of
the treasurer has been enclosed with a
bronze wire railing, reaching nearly to the
ceiling, and having within its confines the
safe, desk, etc. The safe is thus far bet
ter protected than heretofore, as the sim
pie closing of door with a spring lock
renders access to the place impossible. BY
the removal of the safe and the clerk s
desk from the treasurer's Office, much
more room is secured for that official,
which is fully appreciated.
Out in the main part of the room,
where are the other clerks, the obsolete
desks have been replaced by six modern
ones, standing desk and a desk for the
pension books. A door has been cut in
the south side of the building, leading OFF
the piazza and on pension days the men
enter by this door, receive their money at
the wicket, and pass out by the main en-
trance, thereby greatly facilitating the
disbursement of the pensions. 1t is con
sidered that the appointments of the
office are equal to any banking house in
the country.
Great improvements have been made at
the restaurant, giving increased room for
the transaction of business in that de 2
partment, and also adding six sleeping
rooms overhead. The new coal shed IS
in working order, several new cottages
have been built, and, to cap the climax,
many of the buildings are resplendent
with new paint.

In the smoking room the men gather
