REVOLT OF LATTER UNLIKELY Length of Service Will Decide Whi h benat rs Are To Receive De sired Chairmanship. . Washington Feb. 14. From time to time there arc revived rumors of the'"revolt of the Senate progressives against seniorit ." From the bei;t that can "be as:, rtai ed from an ab solutely disinterested point of view, there is -less and less-i-i these rumors as t e 4th cf March draws near. Not only does seniority in the Senate seem to be on top, but it appears that it will not have to make so many con cessions as seemed likely a. month-ago. There is no tangible evidence that when, the Senate is reorganized at the beginning of the new administration there will be much change from the system of individual ratings adopted by the Democratic caucus of the Senate two years ago. It is a safe prediction that the Sen ators entitled by length of service to the best .committee cnairmansh ps will get ther choice of such chairmanships as they are in F.ne for, whitout refer ence to anybody's individual liking for these senior Senators. It is also likely that these senior Senators wi'l retain their positions of ranking mem bership on n ost, if not all, of the other committees where they are in line for the chairmanship. And there is not much left of the talk about a new sort of steering committee. Some changes in procedure will doubtless be made to protect the principle of majority rule in the committees and to dis establish certain abuses which have grown by habit, but the seniors will themselves favor these reforms. Seniority wins by its own force and logic, and not because of any inde structible power okindividua'.s. The principle is just as important to most of the younger Senators as it is to the Old Guard. The fact is that the Old Guard is almost gone. There waere ninety men in the Senate March 4, 1907. March 4, lvlJ, years one Senate , term) from that date, only rtwentv-six of those ninety rema:n. lhere are oniy twelve uemocratic Senators who on the 4th of next month will be seniors of long standing. The vouner seniors will be the men who will ,ave seniority, and they will do it to save themselves. Rapid changes in party sentiment combined with a complete overthrow of the party now in office, have brought about a condition less favor able to an attack on the principle of senicrtiy than has existed for many years. At no time within a genera tion, nerhaos have so many good com mittee places been available for Sena tors new in service as will be avau able March 4th. 191.. Seniority is so valuable to the vouneer Senators that Senator Shep pard of Texas, who took his seat a few. days ago, consented to be a candi date for these few remaining weeks of the present Administration because this trifline service would DUt hi-.n iu a position of seniority as compared with Senators beginning their terms March 4th. After this statement of the matter from-Mr.'-Sheppard's point of view., the Texas Legislature refused to connrm tne annoiniment or ui. j M. Johnson to serve the remainder of this raoidlv-exDirini? Congress. Here is a' striking instance of the ' brutal logic- of 'seniority, in thisjtase applied by- a.mwftrewive of the progressives in na -8ucres8iu caraapign ukujuou au Void nrhool". Democrat.-. .It IS a Door rule that' won't work, tot Vf ways, and the seniority rule v-works ''both ways with unerring precision. . NEW ADVERTISEMENTS V" 1. J. Baxter New Goods.

Exami nations tell the tali. The only happy persons on the Green were those who made 90 or over on each subject during the term. After roll cad these wise ones were dismissed for the day, while those who made less than 80 remained to struggle with the examinations which were necessary for promotion. Regular systematic work counts two thirds an i exmaniations count one- third in school work and reports. The average daily attendance during January in the white school was 772-. 65 and in the colored school 512.70, making the total average daily at tendance during the month 1285.35.
