A THREATENING EVIL.
The Seats of Too Many Senator's Arc
Obtained by Corrupt
ss .EErsa.s4 -. Practices.

It 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 it's 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 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 .1... .,.s
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 a 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 a low-toned
senator or representative means, as
rule, low class of federal appoint
ments in the states or districts thus
represented; for it is 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. -

The Eighth grade is evidently
taking lessons in stampeding to the
time of piano music.
Everybody opened their eyes wide
last Friday when a body of men car
ried out the old piano; but they
opened them still wider when the
same troop brought a plain, but
handsome, and bran new, "piany-
fore" and put it in the place of the
old one. The music-loving teacher,
who has charge of the room, has
been seen to wear quiet smile ever
since.
The state inspector of schools, Wis
iting our high schools this week,
brought the red blood of embarass-
ment to the face OF many student,
with his mean questions. The
strangest part of it was, that one
young lady shone, and yet, unlike
the sun, kept cool.
The main bone of contention
among the High school students, al
present is embodied in the question,
Should an end, if heading an inter-
ference, break the formation for the
sake of bunting his man?''
