The Washington Monument has now
reached height of 40 feet, and the Gus
tomary shift is being made to continue
the structure twenty feet higher, at which
point another and last change will be
made, as only five courses will then re-
main to raise the structure to height OF
500 feet. From this point the pyramidal
roof fifty-five feet, will begin. All the
stones which have thus far been laid have
a smooth finish on the inside, but the
stones of the next course will jut little
on the inside, and the next ones little
further, and 80 on, these corbels forming
the support for the interior arch, which
will be the base of the pyramidal roof
1t is expected that the monument will
reach height of 500 feet in less than two
months time. Steps will then be taken
to commence the work upon the roof, and,
while that work itself will not take more
than three weeks, the preparation for it
will re SO delicate and Of q different char
acter from any heretofore made that it
will be some time before the work is be-
gun. By the 1st of November it is conf
IDENTIFY expected that the structure will be
under cover and practically completed
There will be some finishing touches to be
made, perhaps, but these can wait until
next year, if necessary.

Theodore Lyman, who represents the
Ninth Massachusetts, District, is an indie
pendent Republican, and makes no con-
cealment Of his opposition to the Repub-
lican nominees of the Chicago Convention.
he said recently: "The strength of the move
ment ofIndependents and Independent Re-
publicans in Massachusetts,, New York and
Connecticut WILL render it advisable that
the Democratic party should, if possible
gain those votes by nominating candidate
acceptable to the gentlemen who hold these
associations. Mr.. Cleveland is known in
New England and New York as Civil
Service Reformer, and reformer in gene
raj, and that reputation will lead the indie
pendents to support his nomination Fol-
myself I prefer Senator Bayard very much
to any other candidate, because he is a
man of entirely correct views on all ma
tional subjects aud statesman by educa-
ton and by nature. To this should De ad-
ded the fact that he has had great expe-
rience in public affairs and is a man OF
unsullied honesty. For my part, having
carefully read the Dover Speech, I find
nothing in it unnatural under the circum-
stances nor incompatible with thorough
loyalty. 1t was period of the greatest
political uncertainty, and the opinion OF
Mr.. Bayard was shared by Gen. Scott and
by many eminent men,"

We publish elsewhere long letter from
Mr.. W. H. Fl. Miller in rejoinder to COM
munication published some lime ago in
the Independent by the local republican
triumvirate commonly known as the "cour,
house clique" Mr.. Miller informs US that
the said triumvirate, who are the control
ling owners of the paper in which they
published their piece, have refused him
the privilege of rejoinder, and he appeals
to the TINES for the privilege thus denied
him, which, in the interest of fair play
We cbeerful'y give him. His letter con-
tains some interesting reading in regard
to transaction of which the public. has
never before had any definite information.
The matters he refers to furnish a subject
of serious thought and consideration to
the taxpayers and upright citizens of the
county. The question which will natur-
ally arise in the minds of every one who
reads the disclosures made by Mr.. Miller
will be, what should have induced or
warranted those certain office holders. of
the Republican party to pay Mr.. Miller
$500 not to resign his place in the board
of commissioners and let the Governor
fill the vacancy SO that the taxpayers
could get the control of their own affairs.
If the public service of the county was
being honestly administered, could they
have afforded to pay that amount of money
for the control of it2 The disc osures Mr..
Miller makes afford additional evidence,
if any is needed, that there is and has been
something wrong in Denmark

Close OF the Session

The first session Of the Fo;ty eighth Con-
gress closed on Monday at p. NJ. having
extended over a period of seven months
and five days. Both as respects the meas
ures passed, and the measures which the
two houses had before them and declined
TO pass, the record OF the session just
closed is fairy creditable one The
House passed some popular measures
which the Senate either killed or declined
to act upon, and urged degree of econ
omy to which the Senate was unable to
condescend. On the other hand, there
were several useful measures originated
by the Senate which failed to receive the
favor of the House. The total of the ap-
preparations made is $193, 201 .0S7, or, in
Guiding appropriations, $259, POI ,0S7.
Compared with the appropriations Of the
first session of the Forty seventh Congr IS,
which aggregated 1895, 729,0l5, these
figures are very creditable tn the demo-
Gratis of the House. They will probably
point also to those of the first session of
the Forty-sixth Congress-which were
$1S9, 356, 251-to show that the relatively
small figures of the Forty-e:ghth Congress
are due to no accident, but are in accord
ance with the traditional policy of their
party as the party of retrenchment and re-
form. The measure of relief from taxa
ton for which the country looked to this
session Of Congress was presented by the
democratic leaders of the House, and hav-
ing the support of over four.Afths of the
democratic members of that body, would
have been passed but for the solid oppos-
ition of the republicans, not merely to the
Morrison bill as proposed, but to any a
mendment or modification of it. The mo.
raj effect, however, of the ruggle for tar
if reform remains, and when at length
this measure is carried, its friends will
probably attribute to the firm attitude of
the democrats of The Forty eighth Con-
gress the inception of the definite move
ment finally ended in success.-BaAo SIM.

Der, on Tuesday, in which he declared
that he would support the nominee of the
Democratic convention, whoever he might
be, and, if necessary. he would stump his

seem to dispose of all apprehensions that
have been expressed regarding the effect
in the doubtful States of the ''Greenback-
Labor" and the "Anti-monopoly" parties
and Buffers independent candidacy as the
nominee of those parties. 1t is difficult,
indeed, to see how the Ex-Governor could

vote, because John Kelly dislikes Tilden

because Johnny O'Brien likes John Kelly;

ter is so ignorant; the Soldiers vote, be-
cause of Logan; the Peanut vote, because
it is the Boys" who eat peanuts; the
Cowboy vote, because the Cowboys like
magnetism the anti-Mexican vote, be-
cause Blaine is an annexationist; the
Catholic vote, because Blaine was born a
Catholic; the Congregational vote, because
he is now a Congregationalist. In this
way he expects to dispense with the Re-
publican vote altogether.
