BURKETT'S RESOLUTION.

About a year ago when Senator
Burkett introduced his famous resOlu-
tioh to change the rules governing the
appointment of senate committees he
directed the attention of the country
to the almost supreme oligarchy of
the east in congress. 1t was TO break
up that ring that he formulated his
resolution. He was determined that
the west should have its share in the
control of the affairs of the nation.
All agree that now is the time for
the west to secure itself in the con-
gress of the United States. The old
guard from New England is passing
out and as a result the western sena-
tors are getting their places. If the
west keep its senators in they will be
in the position of control. The place
SO long held by Aldrich as head of the
finance committee and therefore
majority leader will 60 to Burrows, of
Michigan, long step west. Senator
Hale of Maine retires and the chair.
manship Of the great appropriations
committee will pass to a western man.
Perkins, of California, is next in line,
but he has already said that he will
not accept it.
Warren, Of Wyoming, would be the
next one to whom this great chair.
manship would naturally 60, but he is
much interested, for local reasons, in
the military affairs committee, and
may decide to retain the chairmanship
of that committee. Senator Burkett,
of Nebraska, is in line, and if there
should be one Or two waivers as above
he would become the chairman. The
craftsmanship of the agricultural COM
mittee has already been captured by
Dolliver of Iowa, a western man, and
Nelson, of Minnesota is second from
the top on commerce, craftsmanship
held by New England almost continu-
ously for hundred years. Clark, of
Wyoming, another western man, is
chairman of the committee on Judi
ciary, and McCumber of North Dako-
Ia has succeeded to the head of the
pension committee. If the west keeps
its head and returns its senator's at the
next election, the great committees will
pass into their hands after the fourth
Of March next. The old timers say
that never in the history of the coun-
try has so much depended upon an
election as upon the coming one.
And every indication is that the con-
troll will 60 west the first time in his.
tory. OF course it all depends upon
what the west does for itself. If they
send new men they must go to the foot
again and patiently work their way
up, while the people at home complain

Wedding Cakes.


An old fashioned woman recently
attended . wedding, and the procession
with its maidens in trains, and its flow
er girls impressed her, but when they
brought out the brides cake she gave
such . sniff of disdain that it blew it
out the window. In my day. she
explained to . man without legs who
sat near her, and who couldn't run
with the rest to pick up the cake from
the ground outside. I'VE hadn't any
such parades but We had cake that
was . cake. No plain slab like that
in those days! My wedding cake had
seventeen layers, and on the top there
was two story house Of white sugar,
with q man and woman standing in
side, and . wedding bell on top. and
al around the cake there were white
sugar roses, and silver leaves. There
wasn't cake at the wedding that was.
mt trimmed with something, candy
heart, or cinnamon drops, and one had
the date and 4 Love You done in red
and blue sugar on top of the frostiDg.
Therelwasn't a..cake as plain as that
slab, and here she snified!in disdain
SO violently again that the::cake in the
hands Of the rescuing party just COM
ing through the door, was blown to the
Ao.,.

The Worst Luck.

General e. P. Alexander died the
other day, and his death marked the
end of . singular and interesting car.
Ger. Alexander was q federal army
officer at the time the war broke out,
but, being Southerner, he resigned
like Lee, to 60 with his state, rather
than from any great confidence in the
Confederacy. 1t was General Alex
ander who started the artillery duel on
the third day at Gettysburg. and gave
Pickett the command to charge.
Three years ago Alexander published
his memoirs. This book is counted
one Of the best dealing with the great
struggle. He was q Confederate, and
q good one, yet in that book he says
that the worst thing which could have
happened to the Confederacy would
have been success. Most people will
admit that now. That was q great
war; giant issue was at stake, which
set brother against brother, father
against sons. so seriously was it taken.
Yet one Of the great losers admits that
success would have been the worst
luck. 1t is we'll to remember that the
same may be true today Of some Of the
impossible things the people are
screaming for. Success might damage
industry, throw men out Of employ
ment, provoke panic: it might easily
be the worst luck.

The Jury Human.

Judge Hough, Of the federal court
in New York. doesn't pose As re-
former, but he is real one, probably
because his legal knowledge is supple
mented by common sense. His latest
achievement, and one which might
we'll be considered by Judge Latshaw,
Of Kansas City, and a good many
other more or less eminent jurists, is
to treat . jury as human beings. 1t
may Ike recalled that counsel for
Charles W. Morse was greatly shocked
because the judge allowed the jurors
to read the newspapers, and drink
whisky. There was even talk of
new trial on this ground. And now
the same privileges and others, are to
be extended to the jury in the trial of
+. Augustus Heinze. "In the matter
of eating and drinking" announced
Judge Hough, "they are to be permit
ted to lead their usual lives, as if they
were attending To their own affairs,
instead Of engaged in the public
service"
1t is only reasonable to assume that
such liberties promote unPrejudiced
judgment, for the man sorely har-
raised can hardly maintain a perfect
equilibrium. Yet how unusual it is
for q juror to be allowed to lead any
part of his usual life. 1t is so unusual
that the common sense Of Judge Hough
