to proceed forthwith to Washingtou and

DR.. Hammond responded with such
alacrity that he didn't wait even to

who must recognize the fact that the
Territory needs the presence Of capital
to develop further It's enormous mineral
wealth, and that the best way to secure
such presence b by producing evidence
that II can nnd profitable investment
here. This may Be given by generous
display Of the various rich mineral
bearing ores which abound in every
mining camp in the Territory. The op-
portunity for cheaply advertising ito

not zee how our miners can we'll afford

that another attempt will be made to
bring about . reconciliation between the

the almost assured success Of the Demo
Gratis 1t the ensuing election I'm that

moment, be hazar1ed, and no doubt
extra efforts will be made to harmonize
the contending clans in Pennsylvania,
and to quiet the murmun now heard
all along the line Of the party from
Maine to Texas. A general revolt
against Republican bosses would mean
the breaking up and destruction Of the
party, hence President Arthur's eolici-
tude concerning the situation in the

We learn from the San Francisco
Clroajo1e that the veterans q tho Mex
iesn war, residing on the Pacific Coast,
have taken steps TO erect home for old
SOLDIER. They have organised . Home
Association with . constitution and BY
laws and have appointed IN executive
committee TO collect money for the en-
te9prise. The chairman Of the commit
tee recently reported that ~, 900 have
been raised and that be expected 90, 900
more would be added to the SOM within
the present month. Large amounts Of
money were scattered all over the coast
which would be gathered In 1t IN early
date. He also stated he had received
assurances from Senator Miller and Rep
resentative Rosecrans that Congress
would appropriate 90, 900 toward the OBJ
ject. Altogether the prospects were 20
encouraging that the committee expect
ed to inaugurate the Veterans Home
during next October. The site has not
yet been selected but 1t il proposed to
purchase improved property on which to
erect the building. In conclusion the
chairman reviewed the present condi-
ton OF the 6oldien' Homes in the
United States, and gave the following
interesting facts concerning them:
The Home In Augusta, Me-, had about
400 inmates; that in Milwaukee had
800; the Dayton House 2, 800, and the one
1t Hampton, Va, about 600. Healluded
to the Home for soldiers Of the regular
United States army at Warrington, and
said that New York had given 91o0, 600
to establish home for her sons. New
JeDey had also built home, and Mas-
sachusetts was preparing to do likewise.
California would be the fourth State to
establish . soldiess' home, and he ex-
pected some assistance would be given
to It by the legislature next winter"

Compsny are preparing to establish at
the South EnQlewood suburbs OF the
city an improvement that will revolu-
tionize the transfer Of grain from the
Western to the Eastern roads. They
have begun the survey Of the ground,
and will soon commence the erection
Of a. large transfer house one thousand
feet long. The loaded cars from the
West will b. run into the house on a
track twsnty-t three feet above the
ground ard then with elevator shovels
the grain will be unloaded into hop
per scales holding carload each thus
accurately ascertaining the weight Of
each carload. The grain will then be
spOutei into An eastern car standing
on the track below The grain will be
inspected at the yards and the loaded
eastern cars made up into trains and
started eastward. Tho transfer thus
made Is quick and cheap and the
weighing accurate. The new house
Is expected to have the capacity Of
transferring 500 car loads per day.

M0chine Politics.


taught . severe lesson in politics in the
Senatorial District which the lamented
Webster Wagner so long represented
in the New York Legislature. Mr..
Wagner, it will be recollected, was
burned to death in the recent railroad
holocaust on the New York Central
Railway, was opposed to the re-elec-
ton of Conkling and Platt to the
United States Senate, and in this he
WAS heartily supported by the Republi.
cans of his district. But while the
people were with Wagner against Conk-
Ling the leaders of the party were with
him, and they nominated to succeed
him q strong Conkling adherent, Mr..
Stanford. This open defiance of the
will of the people was openly but
quietly resented at the polls on Tues
day. They could. be brought to the
water but they couldn't be made to
drink, and though they loved Republic
can principles dearly their hatred for
machine. politics was stronger, and they
took the opportunity 10 rebuke the ma
chine by either not voting at all or
voting for stanford's opponent. Tie
three strong Republican counties in the
District all gave strong Democratic
maiorities, and the only Democratic
county in thu District gave strong
Republican majority. Such y turning
around was never before known in the
history Of New York politics, and
teaches An important lesson that would
be we'll for every Republican leader to
learn. Democracy it would appear
was naturally inclined to ringism and
Repablicauism to the opposite. A les
son taught is that it is worse than use,
less to nominate Republicans for office
who cannot get the votes of their party,
1t may do well enough to raise the cry
OF 'stick to the party" and she is a
traitor who will not vote for the regu.
lar uominee," and all such things, but
thai don't elect. There are thousands
of Republicans who want no office,
wouldn't have the best office in the gift
of the party if offered to them, but who
want the privilege of voting for men in
whom they have unbounded confidence.
Such men won't pull well in machine
harness, and without such men the
rarity cannot be successful. This the
Republicans of Wagner's district have
found out to their sorrow. An anti.
Conkling Republican could have boen
elected easily but the Conkling leaders
were determined to nominate a Conk-
ling candidate in district where two
thirds of The party were opposed TO
Conkling, Had the majority of the
Republicans Of the District been COnk-
ling adherents the case would have
presented different aspect. Will Re-
publicans learn?

We speak with an assured degree of
certainty, when we say that there are
nearly thousand Republicans in the
city who are not yet assessed. Some
who were assessed were accidentally
omitted when the general assessor ent
was made and large number of others
WHO have within year or more past
removed to the city, and others still
who have arrived at age, are
strangers to the assessment books.
There is still one chance left for these
persons to get assessed. The Levy
Court will meet next Tuesday, and will
continue III session probably two
months, but only during March can as
easements be made. This opportunity
for enfranchisement should not be over
10 )ked. Those not assessed and desir-
ing to be, will have to provide them
selves with freehold voucher to prove
tt at the applicant is who he represents
hi nself to be, and that he is q worthy
81 bject to be assessed. This may seem
Ike an arbitrary requirement Of the
law, and so it is, but nevertheless it is
the law and must be complied with,
while it remains upon the statute
book. The best way to get clear Of
nch an arbitrary law, will be FIR Re-
publicans all to get assessed, then
vote and defeat tie Democrats at the
n 1t State election and then if there Is
a Republican Legislature, repeal the
lav. The thousand unassessed Repnb.
Ii ans OF this city should make a grand
effrt az soon a. the Levy Court meets
10 get on the assessment. This will
not, it is true, give them the right to
vote at the MAJ or's rlrrti II in June.
buS 1t will give them the hight to vote
at the State election IN November. when
Governor, CungresSmau, a LppiSla-
ture, Levy Court Sheriff and Coroner
arc to elect. THIS is N" el"c'ion that
il of the mot cons -qu4ncH, aud al
which no Republican should fail to
vote. Remember Republicans, tn II
u e Levy Court meets next Tuesday,
AID yOn can Re assessed on that day
or any other day thereafter that the
Court is in BESSIE n, during the month
OF March.
