The Little River Monitor EVERY THURSDAY. G. GREENBANK, EDITOR AND PUBLISHER. Letter. Our Regular WARBINGTON, D.

Nov. 15, '95. The nearer the time for Congress to meet gets the greater the interest pressed in what the Senate willdo. position of President pro tem of that body is vacant, owing to the last term of Senator Harris, of Tennessee, having expired with the Jast Congress. He has been elected to another term, but that' does not: affect the case.

There are also 8 number of vacancies on the importo at committees, including that 00 Finange. It matters little which the president pro tem belongs fo, as he ouly presides over the Senin the absence of the Vice lent, and anyway the presiding officer of the Senate is very different om the Speaker of the House. The tter dati, if so disposed, and he usually is, practically dictate the legislative course of that body. But the rules of the Senate leave its officer little control over its legislation, that power being exercised by the committees, which are not; as in the House, made up by the presiding officer. In the Senate committees are continuous, vacancies being filled by caucus of the party entitled to them, and when reorganStations occur by reason of a change in the political complexion of the Senate, the chairman of the committees are named in the same way.

It will thus readily be seen that if there is to be a contest it will be brer the committees and not over the election of a president pro tem. The uncertain quantity in the Senate is made up of the silver Senators, including the Populists. It has been asserted by silver Senators that party lines were to be ignored and that the 'silver men would organize the Senate on a silver basis, if they could muster the majority they have long claimed and have generally been credited with having. On the other hand, it has been said that the Democrats and Republicans have anade a deal to organize the Senate against silver. Still a new story shade its appearance this week, to the effect that' both Democrats and Republicans would decide in caucus upon a candidate for president pro tem and the chairmanships of all committees, and that each party rould stand by its caucus report and leave it to the vote of the Populist Senators which should receive a majority vote.

If that were really done the party which gave the Popilists the best committee places would probably be the winner. The politicians without regard to party regard Vice President Stevenson's alleged statement, that President Cleveland will be renominated py the Democrats if be desires to be, AS the most important utterance yet made on the third term question. They know that in speaking thus Mr. Stevenson did not voice his personal sentiment, which is known 1 to te antagonistic to Mr. Cleveland, but his judgment as an experienced practical politician.

They regard it he if be had said that Mr. Cleveland did the Democratic party where it could not do otherwise than nominate him if he wishes to be nominated. Ru cont talk and action of those near to Mr. Cleveland has caused many previous doubters to believe that he is really out for the nomination of his party again. The most probable rumor yet Bet afloat concerning that vacancy in the United States Supreme Court is that saying President Cleveland proposes giving place to Secretary Carlisle.

There: are several reasons why this rumor is the most probable of its kind, Carlisle but the legal eininence Mr. isn't one of them. Although he bas been a lawyer for nearly forty years, office-holding has been his real occupation. But not one denies that he is a much abler inan than some of those who have held seats upon the Supreme Court bench. President Cleveland ought to give Mr.

Carlisle something in return for the sacrifice he has made for him. According to those who pught to know, Secretary Carlisle's substitution of Mr. Cleveland's finandial ideas for bis own has' made it certain that his political career is plosed, as it has alienated the support of many of the very men who had previously stood by him. Thut he is' a poor man is well known, and creditable to him, too; therefore, it is altogether probable that Mr. Cloveland should think' of repaying his devotion by anchoring him in a lifetime position.

Unless Senator Cullum is mistaken there has been some very wild talking on the part of some of bis colleagues concerning the existence of an agreement between Democrats and Republicans as to the organiza(ion of the Senate. He states very positively that no such agreement exists, and adds: don't think individual expressions just now amount to a great deal. We shall certainly hold a caucus, either just before or just after Congress meets, in order to decide what la the best thing to do. Until then" no man" will The Kentucky Demoozat who re: fuses to accept a certificate of election tie legislature because he believes there is floubt about the fairness of his victory, evidently Nieves in letting the tail go with the -Emporia Republicans.

Turkey has almost collapsed owing to riots and revolutions, and like vultures the fleets of Europe are anchored a few miles away waiting for the "sick man of Europe" to breathe his last that they may divide up his carcass.

An enterprising photographer took a photograph of the scene during the negro burning in Texas recently. The picture shows a powerful negro chained to a steel rail set upright" in the ground. The flames reaching up to the negro's waist were purposely kept in check by pails of water so as to prolong the torture. Fully four thousand fronzied men and women, white and black, surrounded the stake and jeered at the shrieking negro. Creamery Business Profitable.

As the people of this vicinity have recently became deeply interested in the creamery business we reproduce following "specials" from a recent issue ot the Topeka Capital: Enterprise, Nov. Enterprise Creamery company today payed to the owners of cows in the county nearly $10,000 for milk delivered at its fives factories during the month of Oetober. These creameries are located in the richest agricultural section of the county and farmers patronize them liberally. Milking is considered as paying well and milch cows can scarcely be had at any price. Abilene, Nov.
