The managers of the Democratic party in Indiana—the county ui d and Stste Central Committees—ha e an abundance of work before them between now and November next. The need of thorough organization h apparent; every Democratic voter should be made to feel an interest in the campaign and its result; there should he no stay-at-home vote to mourn after the result is announced next November. Democratic newspapers should be circulated and Democrats sliould get right down to busi ness all along the line.

The bill providing for the election of U. S. Senators by direct vote of the people has been favorably reported to the House of Representatives, and will likely he passed bv that body, but when it reaches the Senate, it will be smothered by that “courtesy” which has gained for it an unenviable notoriety.

The colored contingent were "lined up” in shape and the votes were placed where they counted at the recent K<publican township primary. Consequently the Silver Leaf Band aerenaded Candidate Gra: am on Fri day night—the band was of use this time, and made a noise, but after the recent Congressional convention their services weie dispensed with and no noise was made.

The Democrats in the U. S. Senate should heed the murmuring oi the rauliitude.

The friends of defeated candidates at the recent Republican township primary election are indignant; they allege that the nominees were unfairly nominated ; that the primary was manipulated and that illegal votes were received in the interest of the victors. Ihis was made so plain that some of the candidates threw up their hands, quit, and went home early in the day. The party mana gers are now attempting to pour oil on the troubled waters and pacify those who were wronged and outliigcd, but with little success so far.

SENATE. Washington. May - J4. -Senator Gorman defended the tariff bill in a speech in the senate yesterday. A motion by Senator Teller to lay the bill on the table was defeated by a strict party vote of 38 to :W. Senator Kyle (pop., S. D.) introduced a resolution, which went over, declaring it the sense of the senate that the Fnited States should not use force for the purpose of restoring to the throne the deposed queen of the Sandwich Islands or of destroying the existing government; that the provisional government having been duly recognized highest national interests require that it shall pursue its own line of policy. Washington, May 25.—At the opening of the session of the senate yesterday Senator Kyle urged the passage of his resolution declaring that it was not the purpose of the Fnited States to use force to restore Liliuoktilani as queen of the Hawaiian islands, but it went over for the day. The tariff bill was further considered. Washington, May 28. — Senator Kyle's Hawaiian resolution was considered again for half an hour in the senate yesterday but no action was taken. The tariff bill was further discussed. Washington. May 28.—In the senate on Saturday Senator Hill (N. Y.) again attacked the tariff bill and was bitter in denouncing the income tax. A bill was introduced providing that all persons who receive pensions less than $12 per month shall have their pensions jncrea-ed to that amount, and special provision is made that no widow’s pension shall be less than $12. Washington, May 2'J.—In the senate yesterday, the lumber schedule ot the tariff bill being under consideration. Senator Frye (rep.. Me.) offered an amendment putting a duty of $1 per 1,000 feet on sawed boards and $2 per 1,000 feet on sawed lumber. Senator Frye said that Canada was one of the worst enemies the United States had. She was too small for the Fnited States to fight and had therefore instituted and kept up a system of ••nagging," like tearing down the American Hag and distributing its pieces through the street. The Fnited States was constantly doing Canada favors, and the latest attempt in that line was the putting of lumber on the free list. With free iron, coal and lumber Canada would, he said, drive half the American shipping from the great lakes. The House. Washington, May 24.—The house yesterday continued its onslaught on the civil service commission by striking out of the legislative appropriation bill the paragraph transferring department clerks to the classified service. A bill was favorably reported providing a fine of $500 and imprisonment as a penalty directed at i any ex-soldier who postdates his I voucher for pension before the 4lh of the month. Washington, May 25.—The amendment to the legislative appropriation bill to strike out the provision for contingent expenses of the civil-service commission was voted down in the house yesterday and the measure was passed. The bill to incorporate the supreme lodge of Knights of I’ythias was also passed, and a resolution was adopted setting aside Saturday, June 22, for eulogies on the late Representative Ilouk. of Ohio. Washington, May 20.—In the house yesterday the time was occupied in the discussion of an omnibus resolution from the committee on war claims, grouping together tl.'.rty-seven claims for cotton, etc., aggregating *1,040,000. Washington, May 28.—The bill to remit the 10 per cent, tax on clearinghouse certificates uml other notes issued by private aud state banking associations was discussed in ttie house on Saturday.
