7The Kentucky Senatorship."

The Springfield Republican says
the outcome Of the Kentucky SEN
atorship contest furnishes another
telling argument for the election Of
United States senators directly by
the people. The legislature was De-
mowatic on joint ballot by eight vot-
es. and, according to the ordinary
rules of the political game, the Dem
ocratic party was entitled to the sen
atorship. Four Democratic mem
bers, however, refused to be bound
by the verdict of the Democratic
primaries of the State in favor Of
Former Gov. Beckham, and thus a
deadlock was created.
1.-THE final election Ct a Republi-
can, MIR. Bradley, was brought about
under circumstances that do not
reflect favorably upon the pre-
sent s;st.ora. Two Democrat { mem
bcrs fel! III and we're absent without
pairs. while anot!.er had di.i. The
four Democratic boilers then voted
for the Republican candidate al
though, when their purpose was fl.
nally disclosed, Beckham released al
of his followers from their primary
pledges end offered to support the
rejection of Senator McCreary or
any other Democrat upon whom TIE
party could agree. For the Demo-
cratic boilers to persist in voting for
the Republican candidate, under such
conditions, was, from a party point
Of view no doubt, political treachery
of an exceptional nature.
mo such action was ever taken in
Delaware by the Republican opon-
ents of Addicks even. in the years of
mis- malodorous struggle for place
in the United States senate, although
there were many occasions when q
combination would easily have sent a
decent Democrat to Washington.
The fact that thesefour Kentucky
Democrats were willing to deprive
their own party of senator, and at
the same time increase the Republi-
can majority in the United States
senate, reveals again the progressive
decentralization Of the Democratic
party and the extreme bitterness Of
its factional feuds.
'These legislative contests over
senatorships are vicious to an excep.
tional degree if they result in g
State being misrepresented. Wheth.
er Kentucky is Republican ore
Democratic on national issues, al the
present time, may be mooted ques
tion. On State issues last Novem,
Der, it elected a Republican COVER
nor. the legislature remaining Dem
ocratic, but the same voters might
have chosen Democrat to the sen
ate had they been given the chance
Of voting directly on the senatorshiE
question. However the electors
might have decided as between
Bradley and Beckham and other can
didates, they would atleast havese
tied the issue beyond further dis
pute. And the popular choice
would have been made clear. But
now Kentucky has a senator elected
through an extraordinary conlplica
ton Of accidents, felds and deals
and no one knows whether or not he
S the real choice Of the people. "

JUST KICKED A CAT.
Cure for Rheumatism Discovered by a
Jersey Freight Clerk.

cure ror rheumatism discovered by
Jersey Freight Clerk.
A clerk in the Pennsylvania Rail
road freight Office in Jersey City,
suffered from spasmodic twinges in
his right leg. which he attributed to
rheumatism. He consulted pbysi-
clan and spent a good deal for oledi
cine, but continued 70 grow worse.
One morning recently the Office
tomcat in spirit Of friendliness arch
&c his back and rubbed against the
afflicted Calf. The clerk gave vicl-
Gus kick with his bad leg and a gray
streak SHOT through the air. He hob
bled to chair and SAT- down with
few stirring remarks about cats ana
rheumatism.
A few minutes later he gritted his
teeth hard and arose. He shook mis-
leg and feebly smiled. Then be
walked like drum major across the
floor and 5oisterously shook hands
with himself. The sharp twinges had
disappeared and there has been no
recurrence Of pain.
The clerks doctor corrected his di-
agnosis when asked for an eXplana-
ton of the sudden cure anu said that
what he mistook for rheumatism
WIS probably caused by a
twisted ligament. The kick at
the cat scrsSghtened out the
twist a4d removed the cause OF the
trouble.

her Washington;
Gazing OF his linz Of 5;,;tle, AS il
warsied to and fro;
Meath the front and flank advances
Of the almost conQuering foe,
Calm as was that clear May morning,
ere the furous death-roar broke
From the iron-throated way lions
crouching meath the cloudy
smoke;
Cool, as tho the battle raging was
but mimicry Of fight.
Each brigade an ivory castle, and
each regiment knight;
Chatting in reserve beside him, two
brigades Of Texans lay,
all impatient for their portion in
the fortunes Of the day.
Shot and shell are 'mong them fall
ing, yet unmoyed they silent
stand,
Looking. eager for the battle, but a.
waiting his command.
Suddenly he rode before them, as the
forward line gave way,
Raised his hat with courtly gesture,
Follow me and save the day."
But as tho by terror stricken, still
and silent stood that troop,
Who were wont to rush in battle with
q fiercs avenging whoop.
It was but single moment, then z
murmur thru them ran,
Heard above the eannon's roaring as
it passed from man to man.
you go back and we'll so forward -
now the waiting leader hears,
Mixed with deep impatient sobbing
as Of strong men moved to tears
Once again be gives the order, I'll
lead you on the foe!"
Then thru all the line Of battle rang
a loud determined "No!"
Quick as thought gallant major,
with firm and vise-ltke grasp,
Seized the generals bride, shouting
Forward, boys! III hold him
fast"
Then agan the hat was lifted, "sir !
the older man;
Loose my bride, will lead them, IN
measured tone and calm.
Trembling with suppressed emotion,
with intense excitement hot
In a quivering voice the Texan, mo
by God, sir, you shall not!'
By them swept the charging squad
ron with a loud exultant cheer;
We'll take the salient, General, ii
you watch US from the rear.
And they kept their word right nobly
sweeping every foe away,
With that grand grey head uncovered
watching how they saved the
day.
But the calm was shaken, which nc
battle shock could move
By this true spontaneous token OF ms
soldiers child-liae love!
