Political Control of Senate.


Mr. F. B. Colliver of Aurora. ILL.,. asks
rs to the possibility of the democratic
party obtaining control Of the United
States Senate should II be successful
at the closing elections in November. He
writes: II have heard 1t said It would be
impossible for the democrats to secure
q majority In the Senate even II their
presidential candidate were elected and
the elections generally went democratic
formed. 1t will be impossible for the
democrats to obtain majority In the
United States Senate for several years.
without reference to the result OF the
presidential election in November, If
Mr. Bryan should carry every state In the
Union and be unanimously chosen to the
Office he has sought 50 long. he would still
have majority OF republicans In the
senate to contend with during his entire
term in the White House.
There are ninetytwo members OF the
United States Senate, OF whom sixty are
republicans and thirty-two are democrats
which makes 1t necessary for the latter
party to rc-elect democrats to succeed
all Of It's present representatives and elect
fourteen others besides. The members OF
the Senate arc divided into three classes.
and the terms Of each class expire every
two years. That is. thirty-one seats be-
come vacant March 3. 1900; thirty more
on the Sd OF March. 1911. and thirty-one
OH the Sd OF March, 1915. Mr.. Bryan's
term of Office. II he is elected President
will begin on the 4th OF March. 1909, and
expire on the 4th OF March. 1913. There
fore two Of the classes OF the Senate will
have to be reelected between now and
the end OF his term, and Of these forty
two are republicans and nineteen are
democrats.
OF the class whose terms expire March
3. 1909. twenty-four are republicans and
thirteen are democrats. The republicans
come from states which are absolutely
certain to go republican-from Iowa.
Washington. Connecticut. Vermont Ohio
Oregon, New Hampshire, North Dakota,
Kansas, Pennsylvania. California, New
York. Utah and Wisconsin. It is barely
possible that two OF these states might
elect democratic senators. Several Of them
have already elected republicans and 9TH
ers will be chosen by the republican iegis-
latures In their respective states, which
are now In session.
1t Is therefore impossible for the demo-
Gratis to Increase their strength In the
Senate by more than two votes before
1911. when thirty more seats become va
cant. Of which twenty-four are now filled
republicans come from the following
states: Rhode Island, Connecticut, Mich
tgan, Minnesota, New York, Delaware,
Maine. Pennsylvania. Massachusetts,
Washington. West Virginia. Missouri. In
diana, Nebraska. Montana. Wyoming,
Ohio. California, New Jersey, Wisconsin,
Nevada, Vermont. Utah.
or these Montana, Delaware. New Jer-
s,ey. Nevada. West Virginia and Missouri
have usually sent democrats to the Sen
ate and may be classed as doubtful states,
but even II those SIX should all 20 demo-
cratic they would not overcome the re-
publican majority and would only reduce
1t about one-half.

MUCH INTEREST SHOWN.
Middle States Regatta May Be .
Record-Breaker.

The Middle States Association. through
Its hard working secretary. Mr.. David
Brown of the ATLANTA Boat Club OF
New York, has notified the officers OF
the Potomac River. Regatta Association
that II IS preparing the posters and
circulars OF the regatta and will issue
them early in June.
Secretary Brown also writes that he
Is considerably asfonished at the inter
est shown by the clubs outside OF WASH
ington and the middle states territory
over the regatta for 1908, and he pre-
diets that the entry list this year will
eclipse the record of 1905. the banner
year of American regattas This WAS
the regatta held here on the Potomac
under the same auspices and which was
no doubt the cause OF the Middle states
Association voting unanimously TO come
again to Washington.
1t is expected that ell the races this
year Will be for the same distance
one mile. Hitherto the eight-oared
contests nave gone the regular dis
lance. The change IS made In order that
the great number OF events may be
pulled of In one day. as there are gem
orally sixteen different styles OF races
AS yet the local committee has not
done much toward booming the regatta.
week in order to map out a preliminary
plan toward q start. Owing to the re-
moval OF the Potomac boathouse there
is project on foot to move the start
and finish of the races 60 a point higher
up stream. In order that the finish may
be somewhere near the new clubhouse
To do this II would teopardize the apeo-
lutely straight course now in use. and
hence there is considerable objection
to the proposition.
The national committee Of the Middle
States Association appoints all the ofIl-
Gals OF the regatta except one timer
clerk Of the course and the Judges at
the finish. SO the local committee 10
relieved Of the responsibility OF this
hard duty.
The citizens OF Washington. who will
get the full benefit, will ba called on to
assist to finance the regatta by Hener-
Gus contributions.

The muddy water from upper Potomac.

miles down the river to a point below

fresh as 1t IL at this city. Oyster beds in
the vicinity OF the wharf are rapidly dy-

Maxims Of Confucius.

1t would be Impossible to give an ade-
quate idea Of the philosophy OF Confucius
in the space OF a newspaper letter. but
the following maxims give the drift OF
his teachings:
Il Esteem most highly filial piety and
brotherly submission. in order to give due
prominence &c the social relations.
Behave with generosity to the
branches Of your kindred. in order to il
iustrate harmony and benignity
J. Cultivate peace and concord in your
neighborhoods in order to prevent quar-
rels and litigattons.
= Recognize the importance Of hus-
oandry and the culture OF the mulberry
Tree. in order to insure sufhciency OF
Clothing and food.
.. Show that you prize moderation and
economy. III order to prevent the lavish
Waste OF your means.

Duke Kung- fu-tzu, the present head OF
the Confucius family, is q man forty-six
years old. who. as / stated In a recent
letter, is very highly respected and exer-
cises considerable influence. although he
keeps out of politics and preserves an
impartial dignity that Is very becoming
to the only example of hereditary nobility
in the Chinese empire. He ranks next to
the imperial family: he receives a large
income from an estate which Is probably
the largest and one OF the most productive
in China, and IL distinguished by various
special honors and privileges.
