for it doesn't seem to this sarcastic
 commentator that thtre is any special
 reason why the railroads should be represented in the senate any longer by proxy. It may be that MT. Chandler
 brought on his own defeat by various
 unconventional political antics. 1t is also true that the railroad combination -,s h.s state gave him the finishing coup. I don't take any stock in the
 story of William A. Clarkis interfer-
 enoe in New Hampshire politics; prOb-
 ably he couldn't have accomplished anything if he had tried. But the poor
 success that statesmen have in fgh'- ing the railroad combinations ,.i
 seem to warrant the conclusirr .,-at 1t is hard combination to "- ..sainsit." |" The simultaneous anr ..lcement of
 Mir. H,ll's willingness serve his coun- try b'ars out the ;..eory that direct 1 representation may be the best after all At least ne good purpose would be servSd. If James J. Hill were sen- i ator fc~ X years he would probably learn in that time that he could not
 possibly am,nd "a tariff bill or subs!-

 what you might call in Latin Jim Hills ndus Achates here in New York. and elsewhere, no doubt Colonel Lamont
 meets him at thn train and goes with him to the train. He gocs about Tn a
 little cab with him. looks out especial ly fer his interests in Great Northern, of which Cd. Dan Is vtce-pre s.dent,
 and Gouotf' ss put him next" tc many
 of the little but all-important diplon- acies which made Grover Cleveland, and chen President Cleveland, a dem ocratic prophecy for century to come. There are some queer goings on in society. and perhaps the most inters st. ing today is that of Mrs. William As ! ter. This sooj lady has taken to her
 hous, hold one already extensively ad- vertised as a social censor one Harry
 Le.hr. formerly of Baltimore, later of
 Newport, and st.ll later of Sherrys
 where He.bart Barnum Seelsy exhib- ited hts danse du ventre girl on one oc- cas.on. It apears that Mir Lehr is to becCme second Ward McAlHster, and perhaps the four hundred may be cut , down to three hundred. or possibly by the joint efforts of Mrs. Astor and Mir Le'hr 1t may be increased to five hun
 dred. Whsther the charmed circ.a of good society in New York Is to be en- | larged or c-ntractsd, 1t Is to be hoped | by those Who know him best that the
 srecial brand of wine which MT. Lehr f Is doubtless touting. now even more | successful than before, will receive due attention.
 The very unconver. ional William c. Whitney seems to wish to enlarge thp circle of go,d soci ity here With Mir.

Society takes more tim, , and therefore it Is mor;, work. There were some six hundred gueg'ss at his beautiful party in honor of the coming y, additional two hundred were rather re-
