SOFT SNAPS IN THE SENATE. Orientil Luxury nmt I'tlrivitiganrt1 * I'atd for liy tinft iiplr. If the domooratlo narty in c ngrcs3 is really anxious to i odeem the pledge of st ict and Impartial economy which had nude to the people as a bid fur voles , saj s the Now York Sun , item 11 ml no more fi-iiltlul Held for llio be ginning of the l-isk than the pay rolls and contingent fund of the United States senate. Could some of the old-time dem ocrats of the days of Jackson ( or repub licans lor thai matter ) como to eirlh again nnd olnoi vo the lu.Mtry and per quisites that now lUttch to the ollicot United States senator they would regret thai they had died ? o soon. Much of the oxlraviiuanco Indulged in by United States senators of Into \oars Is of n char acter that is not particularly olTonshe to those who behove that thu lopresoii- lallves of the Amer.can neoplo should live In a slylo commensurate with thu importance of their olllco , but the OKI of economy has boon piom- i'-cd to tlio rank nnd llio , the masses , us the stump orator4n\OH to call them , and no doubt they conlideiiliy expect lo got it. If I Hey uo they m-iy be di--appolnicd , so far as the oxpondllu o of nionoy for the comfoi t of United Stntos sonnfyrd is cimcerncd , Inr ills a fact not to bo den led that when the democrats last had con trol of the senate they not only did not curtail xho vast expenditures of that bo.ly , but they actually inero.isotl the amounta in some cases. A democratic United StatuM senator is no loss human than his republican colleague , and as fond of c'outuro comforts. Some ot llio men who will como to the semite after the Itli of Maich , however , as a lestilt of Iho leconl gieat democratio tidal wave , are plain , everyday clti/ons , vvlio vull ho nut to kick over the tracoa and endeavor to keep the promises made to their constit.ients by prying into the question of senate expenditures with a view to cutting1 them down , and if they do investigate they will hiing tolighl some Intcivsting and possibly astonishing - ing facts. They will learn , for instance , that each member of ihe United States senate has a clerk provided for him til the govern ment oxpmitio , while the members of the house , who must vole the money for all the salaries , have none ; that United States senators are MirtTvod and shorn , oiled and ] ioifumed by "sKillou laboroib" paid by Uncle Sam , while the membeis of the house piy- for these attentions oul of their own pockets ; that each United States senator , without excep tion , wholhor chairman of n committee o- not , has a private loom at hisdisposal either in tlio capitol or in the brick an nex at the cdgo of the capit'ol grounds , which was icceiitly purchased so that this accommodation could bo extended to the senators , while only such mem bers of the house as are committee chairmen have room" , nnd those are shared by those members having none. The innocent-minded now senator with the inquiring mind will learn further thai llio looms assigned to the senators are fitted uu in the moat ox- Iravagant slylo , vvllh velvet cai pets , real lace curtains , gold decorated .Tapuicso screens of line work manship , modern library furnituie , the most elaborate electric lighting appa ratus , marble clocksautt general bilc-a- brac , while the rooms of the house mem bers are furnished in the plainest and most unpretentious manner ; nnd if the investigator isshicwd lie will ascertain tluil there are oll\or luxuries onjoveU by the members of the American homo of lo.ds thai are nol authori/.od by Iho general appropriation bills , hut vvl.ich owe their existence to that law of all laws , "senatorial courtesy. " Under this authority it will bo found tint some of the senators longest in service manage to have two , and in some ci'-o- * , three cleric il atjsisUmts , with a messenger and laborer thrown in. and all pud for out of the money which inui-t bo appro priated lirjt or last , directly or nidi redly , by the less aiistocralic members of Iho lieu = e.
