The Senate is the conservative branch of the national govern ment. There are times when its value fails to De recognized. DuiiDg the extra session it was "damned" to; not paseiogthe Voorhees repeal bill without doe deliberation; but even then it was meeting one of the purposes of its creation by preven ting hasty and inconsiderate leg islation, and, althoagh the friends of silver were unable to prevent the passage of the bill, they advan ced arguments that even now are influencing the popular judgement, and maj yet be tht means of re storing silver to its legitimate position in the commercial world . LThe conservative inflaence of the Sencte acts not only ts a safe guard against the evil results ol any precipitate action on the part ot the House, bnt it is a chick upon the President and prevents the exercise of arbitrary power. It is said that we have a President who seems to be disposed to take the bit in his teeth and go where he pleases, but it appears that the Senate has applied its check and is holding him in. Some months ago the President nominated Mr. Peekham to a place on the Sup reme Court bench. Senator Hill objected to the confirmation ot Mr. Peekham and now the Senate is sifting the matter in the inter ests of the whole people of the Union. It is said that the Pres ident was influenced by personal friendship in making the nomina tion, and on the other hand it is insisted that Senator Hill is oppos ing confirmation from a disposition to antoganiae aad embarrass the President. We veutnrt to say that the right conclusion will be reached. The Senate will rise above the murky atmosphere of New York politics and decide the matter as it reUtes to the whole Union. We need not pursne the matter further. Our system of Government as established by our fathers, is firmly fixed in the confidence and affections of the people. Long live the Senate! WHO AND WHAT. Mr, Peekham, who the President nominated to the vacant plaoe on the Supreme Court bench, has foiled of confirmation , and in this Mr. Cleveland sustains his second defeat in the Senate. Mr, Peekham having passed from the stage, the question natur ally arises, who nextT It is very important that the va- vacancy be filled at an early day. Of course we cannot tell who will next be nominated for the position, but we venture tosav that he uuuiu ue a great lawyer who is entirely disconnected with the Cleveland and Hill embroilment. The couctry has bad enough exhib itors in the political prize ring. There are a plenty of sonnd Dem ocrats, all over the country, who would adorn the Supreme Court beech. Mr. Phelps, who was minis ter to England during the first Cleveland administration, wonld make a superb Judge. Senators Morgan, George and Gray rank with the adlest lawyers of the day, and the last named has been favora bly spoken of in this connection. It has been said)that Mr. Bayardjis not pleased with his high position as Ambassador to the court of St James, and would like to be again in the Senate. If Mr. Gray is given the appoint ment of Supreme Court Judge and Mr. Bayard is returned to the Sen ate somo rich and elegant New York Democrat can be sent t London to dance attendance upon thj Queen. This is a sueeestion, thrown out at random, simply to show that an improvement in the general situa tion may be reached, if it is gone at in the right way and in the prop er spirit. It is very much to be regretted that Mr. Cleveland turned the cold shoulder to the Demacratio party in the beginning of his administra tion. la calling Judge Gresham to be his premier, be threw down par ty lines, and when he attempted to take them up again they had pass. ed beyond his reach. How long it will be before the President and tha Senate lock shields in the in terest oft be party no man knoweth, but there is a very general opinion that no good oan come to the ad ministration or theoountry until it is done. Mr. Cleveland does not seem to take in situation fully. He knows that he is opposed by Democrats but he considers them refactory Democrats who are sadly in need of wbolesom discipline. Let us hope that the lessons of experience will inflaence the Presi dent and Congress to harmonious action and a strict construction of the Chicago platform.

Not long after ward I bought a few for my own use, and they cost me about $11 apiece with the freight to Missou la. There is absolutely no demand for them. Cattle and sheep are away down, too.

Leading American hotels car ry upon their annual expense ac count from one thousand to fif teen hundred dollars chargeable to paper, envelops, matches and toothpicks supplied to guests and StCJJ'r)-."- . u.ou uiuit! of them than the guests. A square box, iu which are kept a dozen necessary things such as cards, matches, envelopes and toothpicks stands on the coun ters of most hotels. This box has to oe constantly replenished. The proprietor of a large New York hotel furnishes some inter esting information regarding the way in which his hotel is sys tematically robbed by guests and strangers. Five hundred envelopes and one thousand sheets of paper are required daily. Strangers appear at the1 desk, and with the utmost cool ness ask for writing materials, which are usually furnished if the person is respectable in ap pearance. It is a common thing to see strangers enter a hotel writing room and till their fountain pens from the ml; bottles. Blotting paper given away costs ten dol lars a month. Every visitor to a hotel belit ve.- hinself entitled to toothpick- and matches. He takes a handful of the former and fills h:.i pocket matchbox with the latter. It costs fifteen dollars a month to supply these trifling article?.. Pens and pen holders and bottles di sa ppear at the rate of a dozen a day. Every one seems to consider that hotels and their belongings are public property, and tnat the proprietors have n , rig its worth considering. Women who are models ot thrift and neatness in their own homes, are constantly cnrel ss here. I have seen a ,oiL.er stand her citi.dren upon rifty dollar chairs to look out of the windows, and laugh at them when they jump up and down on two hundred dollar sofas.

The elevation and depre.-sion of Moses' hands on the famous battle-field with Am alek as his enemy ca have no other meaning than the elevatiou or depression of that Holy Troth which bis band denoted. All Bible readers will rememoer to have read this narrative above referred to iu which Moses was the principal factor, for when his hand were lifted up, the armies of Isreal prevailed, hut when Lis hands were let down, 'ha armies of A'ualek prevailed ami I'.ir hermore, we read that subsequently when ''Moses' hands were let down" because of their eins "Their God gave them in the hands of the Heathen, and oi oiy that "ofei ttiem were Lords over them-" But when they repented and turned to God and thus caused the hands of the Prophet to be raised up, God saw their adversity, he heard their complaint, and deliv ered them from the hands of the enemy. Is the hand of God short ened and .8 he not as willing to assist his children to-day as ever? He most undoubtedly is. Instead then of depending alto gether on human aid for political safety let us turn our eyes toward the top ot yonder thill which over looks this world's contentions and striff ; for as in the days of old when Isreal fought with Amalek there was a high hill uigh unto and overshadowing the held of battle, and as on that hill the fate of the battle was decided, the dis ordered aud terrible sc-'ue of com bat of warfare in this lower world, are still observed and the events determined by what ia being transacted at the top of it. But the personage sitting on the top of this eminence, which H Mount Zion is Jesus Christ, th- Sou of God and Redeemer of the World Do vou observe the hands of this Almighty Lord of Zion, how they alteror.tely rise and fall? And when they rise, then as in the case of Moses' hands his people prevail But .when they iall then Amalek the entmies of his people, prevail and do you further retvg'j'z h m emDires kingrd- ms, r.v s the wi(e at d h ; e v a1 i ! . h- wealthy iu t-h r and dazziiug r altogether . ; . rising or ! i hi: Oninipore C.'Uld We, ind na- tion, fully believe Lhat every good and perfect gift c"mes from above and spend our time in holding up the hands of truth and wisdom in imploring aid from one that is fully able to help and who is so willing and so anxious to help our condition would be inttnately dif ferent. But if we forger the Mount of G)d and th.i hands of ihe great Prophet, and look for peace, for prosperity, and for security iu low- r things, independent of those rusher ones, if we should sit loose to the obligations ot duly, and with the same crimiual indifference dissolve the ties of obedience to Guil and of allegiecee to our be loved eountry. and fail to confide in the proper source the Chief Executive of tho rjnluerse and let loose our hold upon his power, then the hands of the Great Pro phet must !of necesitv tall down. And as they fall the enemies of our wellf ue must prevail and we will be their conqured victims. But on the other hand if we take the word of rod to regulate our eondtiet and inspire our thoughts and impulses, if we suffer our un derstanding to be enlightened and led b the eternal wisdom of God rather thau to be darkened and deluded by 'sophistry, unholy aims and the uncertainty of untried means at the instance of political adulterers, broad mouthed Hand degenerase office seekers. If we remember and keep our eye upon the Hill of Z on and to the man dates of its fiufahible Captaiu and not lose sight of th- hand that wieals the Scepter of universal pow or and which determines all eeuts and not forget to render unto Cieser the things jthat are Cesser's and unto God the things that are God's, never losing sight of that power which brought us iudividu- i b; i-c , from the i Mon and extreme and indecision, on the Eternal iquagmac-. ,,t aob disgrace, f-corn idacmg our feet It-;ck, Christ J.JMI-, and at the same time secofojiciuij in this indi vidual Savior and Propiiet a pro tecor nor, !oc dizjd or bound by ;.igrar,i:!cal li ue - or bou ndar ies, out a 2 nerai aii ooweriul.

W. K VV. An Economic Millennium. In the lwer'tie!h century !i.e pi'lVdiO no. din la ihe nrraies of Europe will have learned what, fools men are to fight. When that time comes, hui.'gt-r, i. w pro moted bv tbe waste d'j.e ai ion for w,tr, will have ce it d. The barriers of hostile tariffs now sep arating European .-ouniries will have been thrown pown. Men will have become free to serve each other in the supply of all their wants. The military caste will have ceased to be honored, The well-trained officers of the armies will have been promoted from tn ir present worse than n-eless posi tions to become captatus of iu' dustry . They will theu hold positions f power aud influence, carry peace, good-will, and plenty amongall the nations of the earth. Dynasties will have f-eeu deposed. Rulers who now claim tornle by oirth or privilege, and who have attempted to resist the will of the private soldiers drawn from the ranks of the people, will have been over, come by force if necessary. Men when ordered lo tarn their bay onets agaiust each other will have turned them ou those b, whom the orders were given. Government of the-people, aud for ttie people, will have been established in Europe as firmly as it uow is in the United States. Science will have gained control over the nitrogen ot the atmosp here. The soil, no longer worked as a mine, but as a laboratory, will then supply the abundance tf food, fuel, fiore, and fabric necessary to comfortable subsistence in meas ureless abundance. The man who possesses average intelligence coapledi.h industry, and who is governed by a ptroual religion based on reason and not on supers tition, will be so sure of material weliare that it will not pav to be rich.
