FOR many years Democrats in the Senate
have been at striking disadvantage when
compared in ability or distinction with
their Republican colleagues. But they
now seem to be recovering their ancient
prestige. Senator Carmack as speaker
on question In which his feelings are in.
terested, exhibits the satire. the irony, the
fellcitious use ofwords and the picturesque
briliiancy OF ingalls,. and the announce.
ment that he Is to speak draws great
audiences. Bailey. though almost the
youngest member is by tacit consent the
constitutional lawyer OF the Senate, and
Republican Senator. even Allison, Foraker.
or Doliiyer. hestates to question his con
c'usions. His personal appearance Is also
attractive Young. tall. and very comeIy,
when standing by the side OF such man as
Spooner. he seems colossal. He has dark
eyes. black and shaggy name. firm-set
mouth and aggressive chin, and high fore
head like panel OF white marble. He
would not don a swallow-taif to 60 the
Presidents reception. but during the day
he uniformly wears a Prince Albert. His
immense voice would reach acres of voters
and was evidently Intended for Texas.
Like Spooner he INDUCES too much In
spatting his hands to emphasize his periods.
which seems to an amused listener a sort
OF selfapplause; but he will get over this
in'his recent contest with Spooner on Cuban
reciprocity he so completely triumphed
thatLodge, Frye and Plat sprang to the
assistance OF his oppouet and covered his
retreat to the cioakroom.

The Cuban Congress. in an effort to
prevent reduction OF the revenues OF the
new republic, is considering bill increas-
ing duties on imports as. per cent. Should
this bill discriminate against the United
States in any important manner. il would
perhaps cause the abrogation OF the new
reciprocity treaty. The Cuban Senate has
voted down the increase and II is thought
the lower house will do the same

Senator N. B. Scott, of West vir-
GINA, has been offered and de-
clined the, craftsmanship of the Re-
publican Executive Committee.
The President made him the tender
last week, but he positively refused
to consider IL. Scott is the .'oreinaI
Hanna man" ia the Senate. He
detests Roosevelt. Senator Nathan
B. SCOTS probable reason is that he
will have TO devote his time to his
fences in West Virginia. When
asked about the report the Senator
evasively replied that il would not
appear right for him to say he had
been offered the place, thereby
putting somebody else in the posi-
sion Of being the second choice of
the President. Senator Scott came
out in favor of the nomination of
Marx Hanna for President.

The most horrible catastrophe
that ever occurred in this country
was the FIRE and panic in the new
Iroquois Theater in Chicago last
Wednesday afternoon. A matinee
performance of Blue Beard, was be-
ing given and the large playhouse
was crowded with people mostly
women and children. A FIRE started
on the stage. caused by an electric
wire burning out and an explosion
OF gas took place, the flames being
thrown ont over the audience caus-
ing an awful stampede. Hundreds
OF people were tramped to death
and burned to death and died from
inhaIing the gas. The exact num-
beris not yet determined, but es-
timated at about 500.

WAR COUNCIL APPROVES PENINSULA PLAN.
The Confederate abandonment of Manas-

iected campaign. In his proposed scheme
of transferring his army to the lower Ches.

for the new base of operations had been
Urbana OH the Rappahannock. But this
enterprise, which had for its object to cui

mond, of course became impossible aftef
they had retired behind the Rappahannock
There now remained the move to the zen,
nsula-a move which he had considered
in his general plan. but which he regarded
as less brilliant and promising less decisive
results. This project was submitted to O
council of the corps commanders while al

and by them it was unanimously approved
provided the Merrimac (Which FEW days
before had made its destructive raid on the
vessels i'm Hampton Roads, and was now
at Norfolk) could be neutralized; that
means of transport for the army were at
hand: that a naval force could be obtained
to aid in silencng the enemy's batteries
on the York River: and that sufficient
force should be left to cover Washington,
to give an entire feeling of security. The
proceedings of this council were submitted
TO the President, by whom they were ap-
proved upon condition that Washington
should be made entirely safe. and Manas-

prevent its repossession by the enemy.

A SKIN GAME
The Telephone "Stock Company"
Reaps Rich Harvest.

Some OF the citizens of Brookings
will appreciate this item taken from
the Armour Herald:
The Dakota Central Telephone COM
pany with headquarters at Aberdeen
has purchased controlling interest in
the Southern Dakota Telephone COM
pany and the Southern Minnesota
Telephone company, which were aux
iliaries Of the Western Electric COM
pany. The three systems have become
consolidated and among the improve
mentS promised will be the construc-
ton of copper metallic lines from
aberdeen to lankton, via Huron and
Mitchell, with branches to Armour
and Chamberlain. This change will
enable Armour people to talk with
Aberdeen and points over the Dakota
Central lines, something that could
dot be done in the past. The secre-
tary of the Western Electric system
has notified stockholders that all
passes of the company were cancelled
at a special meeting of the directors on
the 4th inst. And by the way, the
promoters of the system made a "bar-
rel of money" out OF the construction
of the lines in this state. They sold
stock enough in each town to construct
the system and for each share of stock
sold, issued one to the promoters.
That is what is known as "watered
stock" The promoters controlled the
corporation and the business men
throughout the state paid the freight"
With each 800 share pass was issued
and aside from the use of the line,
those who put money into the COM
pany have never realized a cent ON the
Investment.
