On the other hand Senator Teller Is al tba held of tlie republ'can ' membership cl no committee nnd one of the pioblems wltl which the caucus commlt'e ° has to deal h that ot furnlFhlng him with an acceptabl ; committee. Senator Chandler Is not n mem ber of the census committee , but as th ; ex isting members of the committee all gel other chairmanship0 , he Is enabled to take the plac > at the head of his committee Sen ator Hale secures printing because the re publican membership Is entirely vacant. Amcng the ( mportint chairmanships con cerning which there Is no certainty as yel are those of contingent expenses , cnroll ° i ! bills , labor , library , Pacific rallroids , pat ents , pension ! , railroads nnd of revision ol laws Senator Shoup Is the senior republican on pciiblons , but it Is probable ho will surren der the chairmanship to Senator Gilllngi and accept another assignment. Senator Jones of Nevada will in all probability be returned to hlh old po-ltlon on contingent expenses , notwithstanding his Independent proclivities , Senator MltchMl Is the only republican mem- b r of the committee on claims , and lie will probably resign his memb3rshlp If It Is neces sary to reconstruct the committee. Senatoi Hansbrough could have the chalimnnshlp ol this committee , but It Is understood ha has virtually declined It. DESIRABLE CHAIRMANSHIPS. There arc some committees on which mem berships nro ns much sought nfter as are the chalrman&lilpb of others. These aie appro priations , Judiciary , flnanc ? , foreign relations and commerce. There has been some talk ol Increasing the last committee from nine mem bers to eleven , but the prolnbillties aie against this. If It Is not Increased and If the republicans organize Senator Brlci will retire from the committee and his place will be filled by a republican The aspirants arc Senitors Quay , Pettlgrew and Perkins. It appears piobable that the finance committee will ba enlarged from eleven to thirteen mem bers. In that event the republicans will name Senators Cameron and Platt for the two places nt their disposal and the demo crats would probably select Senator Daniels as their additional representative. Senators Wolcott and Lodge are slated for foreign relations The membership of the Judiciary committee has been but slightly dlscusseJ. WHERE THURSTON COMES IN. There are. two vacancies there , and it is possible they may be given to Senators Da\ls and Thurston , or to Thurston and some other now man. There are four new places to be filled on commerce , but nothing Is certain about the filling of these , except that onei of the places will go to a Pacific coast membar , probibly Senator Squire. Senator Mitchell , as chairman of the > caucus committee , 'nas been devoting himself to procuring data fcr t'lo guidance of the committee's deliberations. He finds theio are forty-six standing nnd four teen bcl'ct committees. At present the dem ocrats control forty-six of the committees , the republicans nine nnd the popull'ts five There nro fifteen new jepubllcan senators who have no committee assignments. In the event of the republicans being allowed to crginlz" they will have a chairmanship for each republican senator , with one to spare , ever after the Utah senators s'inll take their belts.

Day before yctteiday , says the Bnffalc Express ( her ? was a man at the Mnnsloi : Hou e fresh from the lively scenes at Crlppli Cieelc , where ttuy have been mlnliif $1000.000 worth of gold a month. This mar was Thomas McNamara , one of the oldesl prospectors of the west. Twenty years ngc he was wandering from place to place througl the Rockies , looking for gold , and all those years ho has been looking for It In vain But he has nevei swerved from his pur pose. Once a prospector , always n prospec tor. Is the rule In Colorado , and when n mar ones s ° ts ont to look for gold he usually keeps at It for the rest of his life , even thougl he meets with not the slightest success tc encourage him This has been the case will McXamara. He is quite well-to-do now , bul not because he has found gold. He has made hid money by speculating In Cripple Creel stocks. He had some Interesting things tc tell an Express reporter about the booming mining camp. He went there as soon as tin rush s ° t In , four years ago. He hag beer there ever sine. ? . He has seen the grow 11 of the wonderful little town from Its be ginning When ho went there , there wren only a few scattered houses. Now there an hotels , banks , theaters , electric lights , rail roads and eveiy thing that belongs to any other thriving town. "I knew a woman during ray first few months ? there , " snld' ' the < old. prospector , "who had three small children on her hand ) to support and hardly a dollar to buy fooi for them. Her husband had dlcl a short time before , and she- had been left up In thai lonely country without anyone , to look tc for help Her little pile of money got lowei and lower , and she began/ tri wonder wlnl was to become of her. It was n bard posi tion for a woman to bo 4n In. that plac.3 , Everybody --around her was making money , Halt the poor people who , hadi come there with hir husbanj weie getting rich She began to wonder If there was not some way for her to maks money , toi One day , when almrst nil her money had gonei one of her children came running Into the , houyu with a handful of glistening dirt. She looked It over carefully , nnd she fount ! that the dlrl was full ot specks of gold , Sheofiot the child to show her the spot where hs had got It , and there she found that the ground was full of specks of gold She went back to the house and found a shovel. Then sh ? began to dig. She washed out the dirt and founJ that she had a small handful of gold , enough to pay her month's rent nnd to buy food for weeks to come. , She set het children to dig ging. They kept It up day after day. Th ° y found enough gold to keep them In comfort , and in three or four months sbb had about $200 saved up That was at the beginning of the placer mining In the place where her child found the gold there ore scoies of placer holes , and an enormous amount ot gold Is being washed out. The land Is all controlled by certain Investors , who have the'r machines nt work on It , but awhile ago anybody in town could go there and dig and make $1 or $5 a day without work ing very hard So It was impossible for any- able-bodied person to bo out of money then "I knew Stratton , the owner cf the Inde pendence mine , when he hod hardly a cent to his name. That was only four years ago I used to leave my s'ioe-5 with him to be fixed. Stratton Is making $100,000 a month and he owns the richest mine In th" camp He has so much money that he doesn't know what to do with It. He Is n man of s'mple- ' habits , not used to spending much money and It simply worries film to know how to dlbposo of any part of his Income , nr even how to Invest It. Th * Colorndo- college people nro nfter him to get him to give some money to the college , and he doesn't know whether to give ( hern anything or not. Ho Is tie most pnzzleJ man I ever saw. It Is Just as If n tramp should sud- Jenly come Into possession of a million. Th ° Irnmp might blow bis money foolishly , but Stratton Is a conscientious , business-like man , and he wants to use his money lo the l ) = st advantage. Pom yeira ago he used to live down on one of the little side streets 3f Colorado Springs , over his shoe-shop , In two or thre ? dingy little rooms. Todav lie IIHH one of the finest houses In the town ip In the millionaires' district. "Pour years ago I knew a dozen poor young nen In Colorado Springs und the surround- ng towns , who were struggling along on i few dollars n week , all of whom are now rich. They went to the camp just when the joom began. " Tin * Origin < if Ilonllri'M. It Is Just an well that the police and the insurance companies object to bonfires on ; lcctlon days , indifferent to the fact that street urchins ore simply reviving ths rites if Baal and Moloch. When Christianity ruled , says the New Yorlc Tlmey , old ways ind customs could not pe abolished , and so : he heathen , still hankering after the- ancient Icltles , but half controlltd by pope or bishop , made their fires on the eye a St , Peter or 3t , John.

In older to secure the pas'agot 'he mil P bill by the lower house it the last sess'Ion I became neceisary to make at least a qins piomlcc to the radical prohibition republican ! to resubtnit the whole qu tloii of piuhibitbt In the form ot constitutional atub-vlmen to a vote of the people , and a to'olutlon 01 this character was adopted In order tc give effect to this agreement It will be n ce sary for the coming legislature to ratify thli resolution and IK u time for the vote tc be taken Some of the ultra-prohlbltlonlsis elected tc the next house , under the lead of John ll'im Punk of Hirdln county , have announced thai the passage of the rcsubmlsslon resolution is the only legislation on the subject that wll meet their approval , and that they will bit terly oppose a manufactures bill and al efforts lo modify the harsher features of the mulct law. They will Insist on letting tlu riulct law stand until the people have an other opportunity to vote upon the questlor of constitutional amendment The last state convention left the whole matter to the legislative districts , so thai both elements In the legislature will b ? untrammeled - trammeled by pirty plct'ges A careful can vas's of the members-elect shows very clearly that neither side can secure the necessity fifty-one votes In the lower house to carry oul Its program without democratic assistance A further compromise or n union of the lib eral republicans with the democrats Is the solution. If the prohibition element should be suc cessful in securing control of the lower house nnd thereby blocking furlher legislation In line with the mulct law , overtures would un doubtedly be made to democrats to Join forces and dispose of prohibition at once and forever. Just how far the democrats will go toward bringing abaut this end Ib a mattoi for conjecture. Te rcaubml1 prohibition and reopen nn agl tatlon upoik this question Just now on the eve of a presidential election , and with nn Iowa candldite In the person of Senator Alli son , In the field seeking a nomination , seems to the average republican to be the height ol folly. To DOS pore the vote till aftei the election of the president would not help matters , espclally If Allison should bs the candidate The only safev course , therefore , should It become necessary to resubmlt , would bo to fix the time , nt the earliest possible date and have the "question out of the way bsfore the presidential campaign fairly opens. for MNNIIK | !
