THE FIREWORKS DISPLAY.
A Grand Spectacle Witnessed and
Enjoyed by Thousands OF People.

A Grand Spectacle Witnessed and
Enjoyed by Thousands OF People.
The display of fireworks last night in
the white lot was the Rrandest ever wit
messed In Washington. Long be-
fore the hour set for the exhibition thou
sands of people assembled within and
about the place Everybody was good
humored and anxious to see the beautiful
scenic effects promised. Nor was any
disappointment. Feltfrom the commence
munt to the close of the entertainment
there W as constant applause, and the vast
throug seemed only sorry that more was
not given them. The place selected was
we'll adapted for the display, as the large
open space gave those present q good
chance to see everything. The effect
was not alone appreciated by those on the
spot, but at all points Of the city people
were enabled to realize the grandeur and
magnihcence Of tho fireworks.
THE PROGRAMME WAS WELL ARRANGED
and carried out. Everything worked in
harmony to cause success. The darkness
Of the sky became q suitable background
and showed forth the beauty and excel
lence Of the bursting bombs and rockets.
For time the heavens were mass Of
gold. silver, and variegated colored lights.
Thousands of rockets rent tho air with
their kissing and bursting noise. In
quick succession fire balloons aecended,
accompanied by signal rockets, batteries
with mines Of stars and serpents. jap
anese shells were exploded by tho hum
dreds, ss also thirty-inch bombs by tho
myriads, making mammoth spray of fire.
The floral fountains, bombs Of great gold
cloud, tourbillons, parachute rockets and
rockets by the thousands Of all varieties
were exploded in mid-air with grand
effect.
THE GREATEST TREATS WERE RESERVED
until the last, and consisted of a nam
moth device, disclosing the capitol. with
portraits Of Cleveland aud Hendricks,
flanked by the emblems of industry and
commerce, with the words "Poaoe and
Prosperity" and
GREAT FIRE PICTURE
representing Jefferson. The grand finale
was the monster representation of the
Falls Of Niagara. This was q faithful
presentation in golden FIRE of that great
wonder. This device was about 300 feet
long, and at its reception a loud shout Of
approval was raised by the multitude.
The flight of 5000 rockets forming vast
floral bouquet in mid-air concluded q
scene long to be remembered in the hearts
and minds of the people gathered there.
The display was successfully carried
out by the managers, and no little credit
is due the "Unexcelled Fireworks" of
New York, for their share of the pro-
gramme. Mr.. L. +. Linton, the presi.
dent, and Mr.. O. II. Roster. the secre-
tary of the company. personally super
vised the display, and made many friends
by their courtesy and pleasant manners.

The reports from the municipal
elections in Indiana are highly en-
eouraging. They show important
republican gains. There are good
many old soldiers in that State who
Tor one cause or another have diff
ted into the democratic party, and
it is only natural that the partiality
Of this administration to rebels and
copperheads should bave curative
tendency. The special fayors be-
slowed upon the Lawtons Of the

North arc just what might have
been expected, but there are signs
Of o wholesome reaction all the

Maiar Edwards, OF the census
commission, from elaborate static
tics at hand, estimates that Il G
present population Of the north half
Of Dakota is 229, 600. II this esti-
mate is a correct one, south Dakota
has a population Of 45o, 900 and all
Of Dakota a population Of $40 ,00o.
This would entitle the whole terri
tory to four members Of congress.

go, coo people viii persist in sitting

as so many stoughton bottles, and

representation and voice in govern
mental affairs, they fully deserve

them.

important battles against the concentrate
ed forces of the opposition, possessed II
vast intellect, and in his management of

30 inconsistent is the item above copied,

every lover of liberty and his country

domination.
General Grants name will ever be
emblazoned upon the hearts of the peo-
pie of America in letters of gold, and the
man whom the nation will on the NOR
row pay final tribute of respect to, is
dead only in body. His memory and
