A feeling) of better humor prevailed in the House, which was enjoyed by a | number of ladies, who were allowed | for the first time since last Friday, toenter the galleries. The doors | were thrown wide open as on yester | day and the same sight of blue coats was witnessed in the corridors While the clerks called the rcll of both houses, the democrats failed) to answer, and the roll stood 66 present. The ballot was then ordered for the last vote in the race | for United States Senator. Neither the democrats or republicans voted. ! On motion of Hon. C. Z. Brown, the joint assembly “eternally, forcibly. leyerlastingly and perpetually and | for all time desolved, never to meet) | again.” When the motion was put, | the long meter doxology was sung | by the assembly in a spirit of humor. The gavel fell for the last time in 'the joint session of the Kentucky’ general assembly at 12:17 without) lelecting a successor to Senator, | Blackburn. As scon as the joint session had dissolved many of Sena- ‘tor Blackburn's friends made a rush for the senate cloak room and began to shake the hand of the free silver champion. “Joe” told a story and wound up by saying he had just be } Wnow a flagrant subversion of the | gun his fight.

CAPT. W. H. BRADBURY DEAD The Veteran Deputy Warden of the Missouri Penitentiary Is No More. Jefferson City, Mo, March 17.— | Capt. Wm. H. Bradbury, the veteran | deputy warden of the Missouri pen- itentiary. died at his home in this | city at noun to day after an illness | of two weeks. He was one of the best known prison disciplinarians in the country and altogether was con- nected with the prison here thirty eight years. He was born in Augusta county, Va, Sept. 4, 1827, , At | the age of 16-be was an officer of the | prison and resigned in 1847 to go as and came to Missouri in 1837 a yolunteer soldier to the Mexican war. He served in the army until the fall of the City of Mexico, re- turning to Jefferson City, and was | appointed deputy wardeh of the pen- itentiary, @ position he resigned in | 1857. During the year 1861 he served again as deputy warden, when he retired and went into the mercantile Morgan county, Mo. In 1871 he was again appointed deputy warden and filled the place continuously up to the time of bis death. During his long service Capt. Bradbury gained a wide reputation for courage and skill in handling dangerous and des perate criminals. In all propability he has had charge of more of the dangerous element of society than any other prison official in the coun try. The discipline of the prison was mainly under his care for many years. He wasaman of splendid physique and cool, calm courage that never never failed him in tue direst extremity, and during the stormy period of the prison when it was onder the lessee system back in the ‘70s,-his presence quelled several riots of a dangerous character. Capt. Bradbury's second wife preceeded bim to the grave about a year age bh idren survive him. His furneral will take place at 2 m on Thursday. ; f The People to Vote for Senator, Kansas City World.

It means, if the démo crate shall control the next legisla ture, each one of them shall cousider himself instructed to vote for Vest for senator. A popular man nom- | inated in this way for senator will | always be an element of strength to | the ticket, while, on the other hand, | an unpopular man whom the rank | and file of the party do not want as | their representative in the senate, will be a dead weight on the ticket. | | - This is one way, and, perhaps, the | most practical way, of popularizing the senate and making it less what | | it is said to be now, a club of mil- lionaires whose first duty is to them. | selves and the money power, and| who acknowledge only a nominal al- | legiance to the people. The election | of senators by state legislature has | proved by practice to be a failure. | In a majority of cases the wishes of the people are not consulted in the, matter, but the honor is really put, up at auction and the man who can and will pay the most for it gets it. | The men with money and no other | | recommendation will not be likely | to seek a popular nomination, with | the exceptions of buying them! through. nor will the other candi-| dates on a ticket consent to be, weighed down by having to carry | through the campaign an unpopular | or an incompetent senatorial candi- date. Members of the senate of ability and standing recognize this popular ‘demand for reform, and are willing | to do what they can to comply with | the wishes of the people. If the senate asa body chooses to stand | | out against a change in the law reg- ulating the election of senators, there does not seem to be any way | |of getting around or overcoming | their opposition. ot the senate is necessary to any change in the law, and the constitu- tion cannot be amended without the senate votes to submit the amend- ment to the legislatures of the states for ratitication. All the senate has to do, then, to prevent a change fn the manner of electing senators, is The concurrence | to do nothing. There is no power to compel senators io agree to an amendment ii they do not like it. It is well enough to talk about amend- i but it be constitution, cannot be done without a majority of the senators wanted it done. But there is no denying that the senate is not in touch with the peo- ple. and that i frequently costly club in the Chandler, of New constituted himself a committee of and has been lo>king into the Han buy $10 worth of goods of us, but us for the next 30 days will be cash which is worth more in times like this than any thing we Then you ure not compelled to bu : ‘S75. to get this, but get it on every dollar before you leave the house call in and examine the goods and prices ai an what tells the tale, no trouble to show you. offer you. ane &Adair’s 10° off UPWARDS FOR SPOT CASK -:- 10 per cent of all money spent with handed back to you in good solid could worth Now and see for yourseif that is $20, $50 or $75 = cower = | { ARMERS?

He found that there are 353 persons employed to wait upon and supply the wants of ninety senators, ora ator. The amount of money necessary very large. The aggregate amount paid the senators for salaries and mileage is $480,000, with $165,000 additional for incidental exp-nses. The growth of this life of expenses is as remark- able as the-amount. In the last nine years it has increased £175,000. In addition to the mileage and salary the country pays every year $7,202 for each senator or all together And the ag- the main, and this enormous expense its constant increase comes from senators not being respontible directly to the people.
