Office in Democrat Building, east side of Second Street—ground tioor. The F uture’s Promise. How soon can the control of the Un"ed States Senate be wrested,from the Republicans? This is the supreme question which is now engaging the attention of the Readers of the Democratic party, and, indeed, of all who wish to see the infamous McKinley bill removed from the statute book and the burdens it entails lifted from the shoulders of the people. For without the control of that body how can the Democratic party hope to do anything in the line of reform? They may re-elect a Democratic House in 1892, and elect a President in sympathy with it, but should the Republicans retain the Senate and hold together, the repeal of the present law would be an impossibility. ENCOURAGING PROSPECTS. The prospects of the Democrats securing control of the Senate in the next two or four years, in the light of the recent elections, are Certainly very encouraging. Let us analyze the situation as it stands at the present time. Prior to last fall’s election it was universally conceeded that the Senate would have a Republican majority of at least ten years to come. The Republicans, having secured the six Senators from the new States of North and' South Dakota and Washington on their merits, determined to grab everything in sight on the principle that might is right and proceeded brazenly to steal the two Senators from Montana. This accomplished, they4mmediately forced the admission to statehood the two rotten boroughs ot Idaho and Wyoming,, and, drunk with success, exclaimed aloud: “We have the Senate for all time; in no event can we lose control of it.” As a matter of fact the Republican majority in the next Senate will be only five, a big drop from fourteen, and all in one year. It is only through the Representatives of the new States that a majority is preserved to the Republicans at all. The larceny of Montana and the admission ot Idaho and Wyoming seem to have been their temporary salvation. DEMOCRATIC POSSIBILITIES. So much far the Senate until March 3, 1893, when the terms of one-third of that body expire. The Republicans are sure to control the Senate until then, but what will be its political complexion after that date? The thirty Senators whose terms expire then are Senators Felton, Califor nia; Hawley, Connecticut; Gray, Delaware; Pasco, Florida; Turpie, Indiana; Hale, Maine; Gorman, Maryland; Dawes, Massachusetts; Stockbridge, Michigan; Davis, Minnesota, George, Mississippi; Cockrell, Missouri; Sanders, Montana; •Paddock, Nebraska; Stewart, Nevada; Blodgett, New Jersey; Hiscock, New York; Casey, North Dakota; Sherman, Ohio; Quay, Pennsylvania; Aldrich, Rhode Island; Bate, Tennessee; Chilton, Texas; Edmunds, Vermont; Daniels, Virginia; Sawyer, Wisconsin; Shoup, Idaho, and Warren, Wyoming. Os these nineteen are Republicans and eleven Democrats. The Democrats from the states of Florida, Indiana, Maryland. Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia, are sure to be succeeded by men of their own political faith. There can be no question about the seven Southern States. In both Indiana and New Jeise,,, the redistricting is >n tHe interest of the Democrats, and their majority of hold-over State Senators practically insures them control of the legislatures which will elect successors to Senators Turpie aid Blodgett. Cal ifornia, Delaware a id West Virginia remain. In the former State the Democrats lost ti e Legislature by a decisive majority, but Leland Stanford was a candidate to succeed himself and money was no object. The Democrats invariably control the Legislature when Stanford is not running. The next Legislature may have a different complexion. The Delaware Legislatuie which elected Senator Higgins, the first Republican ever s'-nt to the Senate from that State, was lost to the Democracy in 1888 through party treachery and factional quarrels, which are now at an end. At the recent election the Democrats regained their lost ground. Senator Gray is morally certain to succeed him • self.- West Virginia has become a very close State. The Democratic majority in the Legislature of 1889-1890 was one on joint ballot. The Democrats, however, carried the State at the last election by electing all four Congressmen and the odds are in their favor. Os the eleven Democratic seats in the Senate which will become vacant March 3, 1893, the Democrats are sure of holding ten and reasonable Mire of eleven. REPUBLICAN POSSIBILITIES. fjow iq it with the Republicans? New Senators are to eome in from Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Montana, Nevada, New York, Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, Idaho, Wyoming and Wisconsin, The

Bakina Powder

Republicans are morally sure of Senators from Maine,’ Massachusetts, Nevada. North Dakota, Penrsv Ivania, Vermont, Idaho, Wyoming and Washington—nine States. In nine more States, judging from the experience of recent events, they have got to fight desp rately to hold their own, and in four of these nine the chances are clearly against them. They are Michigan, Montana, Rhode Islitr.d. and Wisconsin In Michigan the Democrats con’rol both branches of the Legislature by go--d majorities. Montana, naturally Democratic, demonstrated without question last fall. Rhode Island will have two Democrats in the next Houre of Representatives. Wisconsin has given the Democrats a large majority on the State ticket and a majority of twenty-five or thirty in the Legislature. The issue which led to this astonishing result in the Badger State will scarcely down in the short period of two years. In Connect! -ut the Democrats made enormous ga.ns and control the State Senate. In New York their prospects are very fair for electing a successor to Senator Hiscock. In Minnesota and Nebraska the issue depends on the, course pursued by the Farmers’ Alliance, It has been clearly demonstrated that, united, the Alliance and the Democrats have the Republicans at their mercy. The Ohio Legislature has always been an uncertain quantity. The State has not for years had two Senators of the same creed. John Sherman has always had a Democratic colleague. Some claim this condition is not entirely due to accident. But whenever Mr. Sherman has been a candidate for re-election the Republisans have invariably captured the Legislature, It remains to be seen whether history will repeat itself next November. Thus it will be seen that while the Democrats do not stand to lose more than one, or at the outside two, out of their eleven outgoing Senators in 1893, the Republicans may drop half a dozen by the wayside. As their majority at that time will only be five, a net loss of four on their part would reverse conditions and give the anti-Republican elements control of the Senate after March 4, 1893. The news that reaches here from Ohio is that the Alliance are after Sherman’s scalp, and the gamesters of the State are betting 2 to 1 that Honest John will fall by the wayside next fall. Oa the whole, the chances are bright that the White House and both brances of C ingress will Decontrolled by the Democrats on the evening of the 4th of March, 1893 — St. Low's liefublic.. The Greatest Strike. Among the gre itest strikes that of Dr. Miles in discovering his New Heart Cure has proven itself to be one of the most important. The demand for it has become astonishing. Already the treatment of heart disease is being revolutionized, and many unexpected cures affected. It soon relieves short breath, fluttering pains in side, arm or shoulder, weak and hungry spells, oppression, swelling of ankles, smothering and heart dropsy. Dr. Miles’ book on heart and nervous diseases, free. The unequaLd New Heart Cure is sold and guaranteed by W. H. Nachtrieb, also his Restorative Nervine for headache, fits, sprees, hot flashes, nervous chills, opium habit, etc. A City Park. The time has come when we need a city park, and the only available ground, is the piece north of the city owned by the county, and laying out to the commons with a small portion used as a cow pound by the city. While such a place may be needed by the city they can easily get a lot in some part of the city that will do just as well for that purpose, and get a grant from the connty comin-ssioners to use the ground for a park, on conditions, that the same be improved immediately by the planting of shade trees, grading and graveling of walks through the ground for about S2OO for which the county need be to no expense. By the improvement of the grounds they will be increased in value, so that the county will be the gamer in „ the long run by the improvement that will be made, and so far as the city is concerned there need be no expense to amount to anything. The money can be raised by donations, and the ground beautified so that it will be a pleasant place for people to spend a few leisure moments when they have the time to spare. Let the matter be presented to the commissioners at their next meeting. Guaranteed Cure for Lagrippe.
