An .anxious New York parent

Mme. Carette says, in her memoirs,
that the last time Bismarck danced

accepted this as an invitation and

A letter has just come to light
which shows just what Senator Beck
thinks of President Harrison. It
was written to leading Democrats
in Montana, last December, during
the Senatorial contest here, and is
now j published in the New York
Herald. In it Mr. Vest says:
4 'The Democrats made a mistake
in going into the Senate session, and
it was a bad break, but as it has
been done we must do the best we
can with what is left. All of us who
have consulted the leading Demo
crats here are of , the opinion that
the Democratic members of the Leg
islature must elect two Senators on
the same daV"that the Republicans
elect. It will not do for the t wo Re
publican Senators to be here with
out contestants on our side."
5 After suggestions as to how to pro
ceed theletter continues: "Of course
the Republican Senate will not ad
wit our people, but we will make it
so hot for them that they will not
admit the others. If they needed
them it would be different, but thejr
have six majority already and can
afford to play the high judicial role.
The United States Senate requires
that the .Governor shall sign the
certificate of a Senator, and we will
make the best of it on that point,
but they will have the best of us as
to the Senate. The fact that our
people went into session with them
is an estoppel upon us as to the legal
organization of that body. It was a
terrible mistake, and one we did not
anticipate. -It-only remains
for us to have t o contestants here
on time, and if we do nothing else
wo can show up the scoundrelisiu of
Harrison' conduct in "the matter.
You know what I always thought of j
him, and everybody here now knows
the same, thank God, that he is so
mean consitutionally that he will
continue to drive awav from him
everv man of honor and liberality
and good feeling until the people
will come to the rescue of the gov-!
eminent from this congealed mass of
meanness.'

The recent municipal elections in
New York State show almost a com
plete revolution of popular sentN
ment. Taken as as a test they indi
cate a sure success for the party in
the next State or general election.
New York, Brooklyn and Albany
are the great Democratic strong
holds and outside of these the elec
tions show that the two parties are
nearly evenly divided. On this basis
the Democratic majority in the
State would approximate 100,000.

For genuine, unadulterated jol

a package of nonsense, done up in
innumerable wrappers, Avith a sur
prise as each is unfolded and with
thirteen square inches of good,
hearty fun to every lineal foot. The
house last night was one of the
largest of the season and everybody
enjoyed the play. There isn't astick
in the Avholo troupe and the life and
movement of the piece are simply
Avonderful. We hope it will drop in
on us again soon.
