A THREATENING EVIL.
Ghe Seats of Too Many Senators Are
Obtained by Corrupt
Practices.

1t is the popular habit to attack
the senate of the United States with
general condemnation. This is mis-
leading, says writer in Century
An honest man, who knows the SEN
ate intimately in all its workings
the other day said of it that any
such sweeping attack had the mex.
actness of caricature, the fact being
that the senate contains a group OF
well-equipped and disinterested pub.
lie men who have become experts
in governmental questions, and who
get through in the course of the year
ian immense amount of useful pub
lie business"
There is much truth in this. But
the other thing is true also, that
state after state, and some of our
Oldest states, are represented by men
whom it is loss of reputation to
associate with intimately; who got
their seats by corrupt practices" OF
one kind or another; and whose
presence in the senate is an adver
tisement of the low tone of the state
machines" and legislatures, through
whose corrupt management, or vir-
tual purchase, they obtained their
honorable seats. And low-toned
senator or representative means, as
rule, low class of federal appoint
ments in the states or districts thus
represented; for it is a part of the
miserable situation that every means
is taken to deceive the appointing
powers as to the real character OF
those recommended by corruptionists
to office.

One Comfort for a Bell Boy who Had
Seen the Play of
"Faust."

1t is declared by the manager in
charge that through the south Lewis
Morrison and his performances of
Mephisto in Faust" with the fiery
brocken scene and its other features,
is something of terror to the colored
population. His principal billboard adj
vertisement reads: "The Devil Is Com
ing" and this announcement, spelled
out and repeated among the cabins,
is enough to bring out all the voodoo
charms in the neighborhood, relates
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
At southern hostelry recently,
where all the attaches are colored, the
actor rang for ice water, but no one
responded. He rang again and again,
with the same result. Finally, start
ing wrathfully for the office, he found
a very black and small boy huddled in
one corner of the hall.
"Come here, / want you, I've been
looking for you for half an hour"
roared the actor.
"Foh me, sub; oh-h Lawd, / amt
done nothing. seen you at de show,
suh Please sub, don't you touch
me-"
The boy was so evidently terrified
that Morrison took pains to set him at
ease, and succeeded in drawing him
into a conversation, which revealed the
fact that not a colored boy in the ho-
tel would voluntarily answer the bell;
ode debble" was ringing.
ST was plumb scared myself, sub;
