The new Senate of the United States embraces forty-two Republicans and forty-five opposition of various phases, with three vacancies. The Republicans have a: decided plurality, but not a ma- jority, as the opposition embraces sound money and free silver Demo- hrats, with a number of Populiststome of whom are of Democratic,antece-~ dents. The Republicans have. the adminsora- tion; they have the house by a decided majority, and they have a larger vote in the Senate than that of any other party, and they should be permitted to organize the Senate to give them the best oppOrtunity to be responsible for the legislation of the session, says the Philadelphia Times. The Demo- crats cannot organize the body; the Populists cannot organize it, and there is every reason why the Republicans, being the strongest party should be permitted to make the organization re- sponsible to the country" for the exer- cise'of Republican authority. There are rumors that the sound mone’h Democratic Senators have been approached with a view of uniting them with the free silver Democrats and Populists to organize the Senate. Any such action on the part of sound money Democrats would be simply disgraceful. It would be regarded by the country as a union of discordant elements solely for the purpose of obstructing the ad- ministration in accomplishing results tor the nation. Any party that forms a coalition with the little cot'erie of Populists in the Senate, must provoke . the contempt of the country, and neither individual nor political good can result from it. The honest way to organize the Sen- ate, continues the Times, is to give the party in power, and thejparty‘ having much the largest vote in the body, the right to effect its organ'zatien, and thus become fairly responsible to the country for the legislation that may follow. The officers of the body are now chiefly Republican, so that no violent changes would be made, and it would be in accord with the presumed dignity of the first legislative tribunal of the nation to give to the strongest party of thebody the organization, and thus compel it to accept a just responsi- bility for the power it assumes. AMUSEMENTS. Rip Van Winkle. manager Hoyt announces Rip Van Winkle as the attraction at his house Saturday night. The Chicago News says: “The Academy of Music was packed to the doors last evening, when Robert McWade began a brief engage— ment as Rip Van Winkle,the Vagabond of the. Catskills. For years Mr. Mc- ‘ Wade’s impersonation of the character of Rip has been considered one of the standard dramatic creations of the ago. It. brings out more clearly than any other, the pathos and beauty of the story, which Americans accept as their own delightful legend.” ~ Matinee 2:30.

Report ofthc Mutilal Life for I896. ‘The continuous, magnificent growth of The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York has for many decades been a source of pride to its army of policyholders and of wonder to those interested in social economics through- out the civiliz:d world. In many re- spects The Mutual Life stands alone as toils position. There is nothing like It. Its Annualeport of business for the year ending December ,31, 1896, the full details of which are now in the hands of the New York State Insurance Depariment, shows that the Company pom-i9 uses net assets aggregating $5234,- 744,148 42 The books of the Company indicate, according to its own standard in policy valuation, a much larger sum than that, but this year the report is made in conformity with the require- ments of the State Department, which excludes assets that are not realized up- on, but which are proper to regard as ultimately good and available. The liabilities on the risks in force amount to $205,0l0,633 72, leaving a surplus land of $9,733,514.70. '1 his shows ' an increase in admitted assets during 1896, according to the New York State stand- ard, of $15,040,005 22, and an increase in surplus of $2,853,467.06. The total income of the Company for the year was $9,702,695.27. _ The amount paid to policy-holders aggrega- ted $25,437,569.50. Since the date of disorganization, in 1843. The Mutual Life Insurance Company has paid to living members $258,959,451.53, and to ihe beneficiaries of deceased members $178,045,74376, making a total of $4.37,- 005,195.29. . The Company hasiusurance THIS IH HIHD. The Statement of a Norwalk Citizen that 'May Save You Much Future T r0 u b l e. You contract a cold in the chest. One that stays a while with you. It won’t leave even after you have abused it- to your heart’s content. You have to eject it, break it up, or scatter it; Goose grease freely rubbed in has been known to do the trick. W’ell, arter you have gotten it there is no reason why you should not contract a second in a month or perhaps in a year. Frail humanity is no more cold proof than buttel proof. 'It is so with other ailments of the body. Take the kidneys. They go wrong and raise an internal row. They often right them- selves like the liver, without using any medicine, but as a rule kidney troubles: stay awhile. They linger on and recur semi-annually or periodically and as the victim ages he is crippled in the back—— twisted and contorted out ofshape and is a regular hotbed of pains and aches. If you have anything wrong with your kid- neys follow the plan adopted by G. S. Partrick of 127 Main street, Notary Pub- lic, who says: “Mrs. Partrick had a severe attack of backache. Just at the time we both noticed an announcement about Doan‘s Kidney Pills and came to the conclusion if they only carried out half what they promised, they would re- move the trouble, My wife got a box at Glendenning’s drug store, and took them. They gave her relief. We can recom- mend the preparation. ' ‘ ‘ Doan’s Kidney Pills for sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents or mailed by Foster-Milburn company, Buffalo, N.
