NO CHANGE IN
T0DAY'S BALLOT
Except That Democrats Go
Back and Vote for Ken
ney and Salisbury
PUBLIC SENTIMENT FOR SENATORS
Regulars Said to Be Willing to Accept
the One Senator Proposition-Mat-
ters Brought in On Both Branches
of the Legislature Today.
speeIal to the Evensng journal.


Dover, Feb 23.-"There is no mis-
taking public sentiment; we must elect
two senator's" said a Democratic
member of the Legislature on his way
TO the State House this morning.
The same opinion is expressed every
Monday morning when the members
are fresh from contact with their con-
stituents, but the days pass and moth
ing is done.
Your correspondent interviewed one
of the Regular Republican members
this morning and asked him:
Are you going to elect senators this
week?"
Il don't know" was the reply. 1T
is up to the Democrats"
But the Democrats say you are not
willing to do anything. and that they
have made the Regulars propositions
which you will not accept"
Il can't discuss our plans, of course. -
replied the member, but I think I may
say this: The Democrats claimed a
week ago that they were prepared to
elect a Regular Republican for the long
term, leaving the other senatorship
vacant. We see no reason why such q
are prepared to accept il at any time
So 1t seems evident that this week
VIII reveal something and il is likely
that in a few days the public may
know the real Democratic position. The
Biggs men have been saying that
Salisbury and Kenney stand in the
way of any agreement that eliminates
them. On the other hand certain OF
the Salisbury men have given out the
I impression that three Biggs men have
stood ready to block any game. This
Il assertion seems to have nothing in it
as the men named openly repudiate it
But il is evident that powerful
i pressure is being brought to get the
members to elect senators, and they
f have been besieged by constituents
t who demand that something shall b'
done. They have blamed Addicks fol
. blocking an election, but it seems Ger.
tain that they will also blame both tn,
Regulars and the Democrats unless
s they are able to find some solution.
The joint ballot today resulted a
follows.

A LIGHT HEART.
Said to BE Oftener Linked With
Drawn Than with Drain.

Said to BE Oftener Linked With
Drawn Than With Drain.
Is it possible to cultivate light
heart? Probably not, but all sorts Of
shifts have been practiced at all times
to retain one. There have always been
men like Thoreau and St. Francis who
believed that property brought with it
heavy heart and who have refused,
as did the American philosopher. to be
''harnesSed to his possessions" st.
Francis "cast aside every weight that
he might free himself from idle sor-
row." He and his first disciples loved
nothing earthly and feared nothing
earthly. They were secure in all places,
troubled by no fears, distracted by no
cares; they lived without trouble of
mind. waiting without solicitude for
the coming day" ST Francis in the
Businesses of the Italian hills singing
French hymns among the highway rob-
bers in his whimsical lightneSs of heart
makes n strange picture. He knew
French badly, but 1t seemed to him the
language of gayety. The founder of
the FranciscanS. though we are told
that he possessed what was quantity
called the gift Of tears when perform
Ing his devotions in his cell, was never
seen abroad without smile; neither
would he tolerate any appearance of
heaviness in his followers. He rebuked
brother to whom n detected manner
had become habitual, saying, MY
brother, repent thy sins in private, and
do not appear before the community.
thus downcast.'
We are inclined to think that those
who make their living-provided il is
a fairly good one-in the sweat of their
brow have lighter hearts than those
who make it in the sweat of their
brain. The high spirits which seem to
be enjoyed by domestic servants, to
judge by the sounds which come up
stairs. are a case in point. busting,
scrubbing and plate cleaning seem to
weigh on the heart far less than doc
toring, journalism or the study of law
or theology. Too often spirits are
broken by Overwork or by disappoint-
ment I'm the wild struggle TO succeed
which goes on among professional peo-
pie. Certainly in the literary world
light hearts are generally lost early,
yet the light hearted man of letters,
though he is rare. Is the most attractive
of all light hearted men. He knows
how to express the music that is in his
mind and is like a composer who is
also an executant.-London Spectator. /,

When He Did BETTER.

A celebrated bishop once sat through
long and atrociouS sermon on a hot
summer morning. With an immova-
BILE countenance he listened to meta
phors that were mixed, pathOs that
was bathos and humor that was sad.
The preacher was a youth just out of
colIege-a very conceited youth. He
beloved through his sermon at the
top of his lungs. His gestures were
violent enough to break his arms. At
every climax he fixed the bishop with
his eye to see If a suitable impression
had been made.
And at the end of the service this
young snip staggered up to the bishop
and said:
II fancy 1 did rather well today, sir.
Don't you think SOP
YES" returned the bishop; "but you
did better last year.
Last year, said the young man.
''Why. didn't preach at all last year"
That's the reason" said the bishop,
with a pleasant smile.
