Personnel of the Senate.

The biographical sketches in the Congressional Directory issued for the
 present session of congress show that the law is the prevailing profession of senators. All the states in the union have their full quota of senators eX
 cept Delaware, which has none. and of the eighty-eight senators all told, six ty-one of them are lawyers. Of the rest, enc is a civil engineer, two are doctors, three are journalists, and the others are bankers, miners, farmers, business men and politicians. The only senator who does not give his age is Burton, of Kansas. The average age of those reporting is 59 years. Pettus, of Alabama. who is near S2, is the eldest senator. and Bailey, oi Texas, is the youngest. being only 40 Pettus fought in the Mexican war, and he and twenty-five others are veterans of the civil war. Clark, of Montana, has seen service as an Indian fighter. but no senator served in the Spanish or Phil ippine wars. Fifty-five of the senators are college graduates, and the remain ing ones have good common school ed- ucations. There are seven foreign born senators, namely: Kearns of Utah; Gallinger. of New Hampshire: Willard of Nebraska-all Canadians; and Nel- son, of Minnesota. a Norwegian: Pat terson, of Colorado. an Irishman; and Jones, of Nevada. an Englishman. Wetmore. of Rhode Island. is an American. though born in London while his parents were abroad The senators from Georgia, Kentucky. Lou isiana, Maine. Maryland. Massachu- setts Mississippi New York. Ohio. Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennes- see. Vermont and Virginia were all born within the borders of the states which they represent. The birthplaCes of the other senators lie scattered throughout the union.-Kansas City Journal.

The Negro and His Country.

A mass meeting of negroes. held ur- der the auspices of the Afro-Ameri can League, which has been in session In Washington, was opened with the singing of the hymn My Country.
 lis of Thee" Why do you sing that song shouted the orator of the even ing. as he began the speech in which he called on his hearers to seize the torch and the sword and spread waste blcod and desolation through the south Why do you sing that song? Ycu have no country
 In the midst Of the busy West Indian waters there lies an island wtich the negro may claim as, in the fulIeet sense, his country. Hayti is exclusively a black mans land In the eastern half of it proportion of muIattos mingle with the blacks. but in the pop ulous territory O: Hayti proper there the full-blooded Africans alone. The white man nowhere exists. Hayti is an island three times as large as Mas sachusetts, with Connecticut thrown in. It has q population of nearly D. COO,00O, an excess over that of Cuba.

The U. s. Supreme Court.

Judge w. R. Day. of Canton, Ohio. McKinley's close friend, has accepted a seat upon the supreme bench to sue ceed Justice Shiras. The senate will confirm him.
 In an Ohio court Of common pleas and in the United States district and circuit courts the appointee has had valuable experience. He has been fla miliar with large affairs as secretary of state and as chairman Of the peace commission in Paris after the Spanish war In the latter capacity he is thought to have subordinated under presidential pressure a mature iudg- ment adverse to the acquisition of the Philippines; but it cannot be assumed that he would prove yielding or ir- resolute in a judicial role
 With MT. Day the supreme court will include two members named by Mr Roosevelt, one by MT Mckinley. two by MT. Harrison. three by Mir Cleve- land and one-the veteran Justice liar Ian, by Mir. Hayes. As has been the case for several years. six of the nine members will be appointees oi repub lican presidents Chief Justice Fuller is a democrat

A Garrulous Statesman.

There was a certain disease recog- rized among the ancients and called caccethes scribehdi, which being inter- preted means the itch for writing. Modern doctors, sneeTing at the strange and disordered fancies which prevailed in the early days of medical science, have stoutly disputed the ex- istence O: such a malady. The over whelming weight of evidence might have sustained the moderns as against the ancients had not Albert J. Bev- eridge been elected to the senate ard his peculiarities placed thereby prom inently before the public and subjected to critical examination. The honora- Ole gentleman from Indiana certainly has got the itch for talking There is no doubt about il; and us this distem- per can exist in a most aggravated and Irritating form. ergo the other. which is so closely related, exists also.
 When Senator Beveridge first entered the senate he manifested symptoms of his complaint. but the seizure did not become violent until debate upon the omnibus bill arose. Since then he has been gabbling and cha .tering like runaway phonograph. Staid senators who first thought the young mans garrulity was due to the vanity and lndlscretion of youth find that they have to do with a colleague who is af- nlcted with seemingly constitutional and perhaps incurable disease. With his eye upon the gallery and his heart set for applause, Senator Beveridge has fallen into the disagreeable habit of breaking into every debate, inter- ruPtlng speeches and interfering with proceedings to such an extent that he might truly be likened to a cross be- tween an impudent schoolboy and a pesky scold. Senators Spooner and AIllson, who formerly entertained ex- ceedfngly friendly regard for him, ex- pressed their annoyance the other day.
 Mr Beveridge is fast losing his friends, reputation and influence which ne had upon entering his senatorial ca reer' and If he persists in his folly the only good he will be able to render any cause will be by opposing it.-Kansas City Journal.

It is by nature one of the most marvel ously favored spots on the face of the globe. It has been under negro domin- ation for almost a century-it was just ninet ty-nine years ago that the inde- pendence of the black nation was de-
 clared after the inhuman butchery of the French population. It is fair to ask what the negro has made of his
 country.
 go sinister has been it's reputation
 that the island is summed by the ships
 of the nations, and its interior al least
 has remained for many years unvisited
 by white men, though from time to
 time reports of hideous conditions to which the people have sunk have reached civilization. Within the last three months. however, correspondents have penetrated into the heart of the island and have come back with com plete picture of the most degraded, the most abject and contemptible human spectacle. which the sun has ever looked down upon in any land pretend ing to civiliZation-a state of society appalling in it's wretchedness. an of fense to the conscience of the world. and an affront to every instinct of de- cency and order.
 It is not merely a case of a country without a mile of railroad, or even highway over which wheels may pass: nor of harbors filled with filth, rotting wharVes, roofless warehouses, aban- doned plantations and the encroach- ing jungle; nor O. mere squalid, grow cling, hopeless poverty; nor of imbecile governments occasionally emerging out of normal anarchy. It is a case of national atavism far on the way to primitive African savagery. character lzed by serpent worship. the sacrifice of children, cannibalism and kindred abominations.
 It is with no eXultation. but with profound regret that the horror of the failure of the experiment of negro gov ernment Is contemplated. But when a black man, living in the enjoyment of the right of property and citizenship, in the midst of an orderly society, re- joicing in the opportunities for educa- tion, the exercise of religion. national pleasures and all the manifold ad- vantages secured to him under this government-when such a man in his folly, because he and his friends arc not given offices enough to please them, cries out, We have no country" 1t is evpedient to remind him from the example of Hayti that in the sense in which he means it. he is happy in hav- ing none.-Louisville Courier-Journal.

INVENTIONS DUE TO ALCHEMY

Tn "The Story of Alchemy and the Beginnings of Chemistry" a new vol tune just published in Appleton's Li- brary of Useful Stories. the author. M. NJ. Patt.son Muir. brings out some very interesting facts in connection with the Crigin of a number of familiar inven- tions. He says: Tn their search for the pure and penetrating matter which applied to any substance eXalts and perfects it after it's own kind the al- chemists necessarily made many in ventions, laid the foundations of many arts and manufactures, and discovered many facts of importance in the sci ence of chemistry.
 'The practitioners of the sacred art of Egypt must have been acquainted with many operations which we how class as belonging to applied chemis- try; witness. their jewelry, pottery, dyes and pigments, bleaching. glass making, working in metals and alloys. and their use of spices, essential oils. and soda in embalming, and for other purposes.
 During the centuries when alchemy fourished, gunpowder was invented, the art of printing was established. the compass was brought into use. the art of painting and staining glass was begun and carried to perfection, paper was made from rags, practical metal lurgy advanced by leaps and bounds, many new alloys of metals came into use,/ glass mirrors were manufactured, and considerable advances were made ia praCtic medicine and sanitation.
 Basil Valentine, who was one of the greatest alchemists of the 16th century. discovered many of the properties of the metal antimony, and prepared and examined many compounds of that metal; he made green vitroil from py- rites. brandy from fermented grape

A Chance to Buy Some Ships.

The Gillian and Argentine republics, having agreed to disarm and be peace able, have decided to dispense with their navies. Each government has some very fine warships building in English yards, and they have ap- preached the United States government with a suggestion that Uncle Sam take the vessels off their hands. Two bat tleships and two cruisers are availa- ble, and since this country is in the business of building up a great navy congress should authorize the purchase of the vessels in question. The battle ships, particularly, are very desirable They are of 12.O0O tons each. and are among the most powerful fighting ma chimes ahoat. It requires about three years to build battleship and make it ready for service, and that much time would be gained by closing with the offers from Chili and Argentina.
 It has been suggested that the pur- chases should be made because of the possibility of a war with Germany. but it is hardly possible to dpprehend serious trouble with Germany on ac- count of the debt-collecting business Tn Venezuela. With no question oi na- tional honor at stake, Americans would abhor a war with the Germans over a people so worthless and ungrataful as the Venezuelans. A war need Tot be conjured up as a reason for buy ing any good warships that are found on the international bargain counter.

NAVAJO BLANKETS
How They Came to Gain a National
 Reputation.

Though Navajo blankets as rugs, DOT tieres, couch coverings. and dozen other things. have held their own in American homes for a season or more. there are many interesting details of their manufacture which are not known to the casual observer. The impress of the Spanish cross. recalling the inva- sion of the Coronado expedition of I54O is still paramount in this industry of the tribe. This marked the Navajo's first knowledge of the white race. and the later influence of Mexican art can be traced in the zigZagging diamond.
 There is always one blanket weaver in Navajo family. generally Q woman. .lough sometimes a man, and the blanket frame. which is erected out side of the hogan" or hut. is a. part Of it's architecture. This frame is of upright posts or rude poles Kneeling or squatting in front of 1t is the pe- uent weaver from morning till night. The blankets are considered a medium of barter, as current as any coin among the neighboring tribes, for the Maya jos country Is the finest for fiockrais- ing, and their wool far-famed. Tho dyes used, too, are practically indeIi- HAN' ehN NhClL IS a trlDC secret.
 The blanket is the banner garment of the squaws with "dressy' aspirations. and the choicest of wigwam decora- tions. The care taken in the making or these blankets may be realized when C2e knows that two or three months are given to the manufacture of the most elaborate. No two of these are ever exactly alike. and for certain tri- bal ceremonies especial patterns are in- troduced. The choicest designs are re- served for enshrouding the dead, as the journey to the happy hunting ground" IS considered much enhanced by the richness of the travellers wrapping. It is the Navajo blanket, too, that often est forms the charmed square of tine. snake charming Mokis, and the sun dancers of the Shoshones and Arapa- hoes carpet their sacred enclosures with these same weaves that American bachelors and den devotees of all class es pay such round prices for. No won der, with its hietcrv. it's wealth of as- sociation and it's richness of color and originality of design, the Navajo blanket has attained a national repu tation.-New York Tribune.

Mir. Mitchell on Socialism.

A very notable speech on socialism was delivered by President Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers, before the convention of that organization in In dlanapois at its session last Tuesday. Ee warned the mine workers not to permit socialism in the local unions Despite their plausible arguments, he declared, the doctrines of the social ists were based on wrong ideas of the functions of government. If those ideas were put into practice. in his opinion, they would lead to anarchy.
 At the annual meeting of the Aneri- can Federation Oi Labor in New Or leans a few weeks ago, where Presi- dent GOmpers in a vigorous speech turned the tide against socialism and political action by the Federation. the representatives of the miners mainly voted in harmony with the wishes of the socialists. Indeed, the speech de- livered by MT. Mitchell on Labor day last year in Philadelphia was declared by many socialists to be deeply inn bued with their doctrines The agita- ton in favor of government ownership of mines has made considerable head way in some localities among the mine workers. MT. Mitcheil's strong words at this time and the marked favor with which they were received by d majority of the delegates in the con vent.on will clear up the doubts which have befogged the situation as regards socialistic leanings in that powerful union.
 Press reports from Indianapolis rep resent the socialists as much discon- certed by MT. Mitchelrs speech. Well they may be, since it is one more tell ing blow against their doctrines as in- fuencing trades union sentiment Chicago News.
