There are many changes awaiting the
United States senate after 4th March
1901. The New York Sun says that the
terms of the following members will
expire then, and unless reelected, new
names will appear: Bacon, of Geor-
gia, Berry, of Arkansas, Butler, of
North Carolina, Caffery. of Louisiana,
Chiffon, of Texas, Elkins, of West Vir-
ginia, Lindsay, of Kentucky, Martin,
of Virginia, Morgan, of Alabama, Sui
livan of Mississippi, Tillman, of South
Carolina and Turley. of Tennessee

Gratis. 1t is to be hoped that Buffers
name will go out never to be heard of
again. Caffery will not be there. His
successor has been chosen, Mr.. F. J.
Murphy. Lindsay, gold democrat, is
superseded by that eloquent, popular
Kentuckian, 10 Blackburn, who has al
ready served two terms in the senate.
Bailey of Texas, the able leader of the
democracy in the United States house,
will go to the senate, we are gratified to
know. We quote from the Sun:
Villas, of Wisconsin, Smith, of New
Jersey, and Palmer, of Illinois, are to
be succeeded in the next senate by
overt silveriteS and the representation
of gold democrats will, therefore, en-
tirely cease. Senators Berry, of Ar
kansas, Tillman, of South Carolina and
Bacon, of Georgia, will succeed them
selves, but in two other southern

1t is very significant when 162 Jaw
yers-some of them among the fore
most in North Carolina-unite in the
opinion that there is no conflict be-
tween the proposed amendment to the
constitution of this state and the con-
stitution Of the United States. But
great unconstitutional lawyers of
the Pritchard. Butler, Holton type hold
other wise. 1t would be interesting to
know if they have ever read the con-
stitution of the United States. 1t
would not be safe TO swear that they
had. The 126 lawyers affirm farther:
1T is clear this amendment, if rati-
fed, will not disfranchise, either now
or hereafter, any person who was him
self entitled to vote at any time prior
to 1867, either in this state or any state
in the United States in which he then
resided, provided he registers once be-
fore 1908 and does not thereafter be-

THE AWFUL BUBONIC PLAGUE.

The bubonic plague is the most dread
disease known to the world. 1t sweeps
with fearful ravages over a land when
it obtains a good foot hold. 1t is now
in San Francisco, and if it gets a good
headway it will rush over this country.
Probably it cannot be carried on the
winds as the Russian grip is carried,
but it is a much more fatal disease.
The effort to stamp it out in San Fran
cisco is being vigorously pressed. We
gather that quarantine regulations,
carried out by federal officers, have
been adopted and the marine hospital
service express itself as confident that
there will be no epidemic and that the
scourge will be confined TO the few
cases now on hand. The Chinese Six
Companies, more potent in such mat
tiers than even the federal authority,
are cooperating in the work of exter-
mination, and promise that all of the
Chinese in their employ, and that
means the majority of those residing
in Chinatown, shall submit to inocula-
ton with the anti-plague serum. We
lSNST Is tHS
same awful disease that used to visit
and scourge England. In 1866 it killed
thousands in London. 1t is said that
the great fire that destroyed so much
of the city-then not having more than
800. 900 inhabitants-had also wiped out
every possible germ, yet about 100 years
later it reapppeared. The scourge of
the pestilence was found to have been
some refuse, pits in which the clothing
of patients had been formerly buried.
Thc Sc were dug into, the germs Were
liberated, and the pestilence again
ragged So it is hard indeed to eradi-
cate whenever it obtains possession of
a city. 1t is now to be found in many
parts of the world-in Japan, in Egypt,
in the Philippines, in Arabian Africa,
in Australia and New South Wales.

OLD Friends.

We love them very dearly, the old familiar
places.
The road where every turn we know, the
trees that DER it bend;
The meadow grasses waving. and the lit
tie flower faces,
And the lifted hills benignant, each one
a steadfast friend.
We love the soft and springing sod oft
as our footsteps press it
The little waysfde brier8 that reach their
clnging fingers out;
The lowly nest half hidden in the dusky
hedge-tiod bless it!
And all the common things that GRID the
common day about
There's one wide branching maple that was
tall when we were tending
The baby lambs beneath it In the years
of long ago.
There's one great shadowy oak that stood,
its friendly shelter lending
To our parents, when they courted, its
tentng shade below.
The trees, the hills, the pastures, the lanes
we oft have trodden,
OF us they are a part, our blood has
caught thrill from them.
We may walk to-day in purple where once
we walked in holden,
But the selfsame soul is in us; we are
theirs in root and stem
We love them very dearly, the old familiar
places;
In Heaven think the road will wear
look like ours "a home;
The fields of living green recall the pleas
ant reckoning faces
OF the meadow-lands that hold us fast,
how far soccer we roam.
