The Primary Election,

We direct the attention of Demo
Gratis to the call for the Primary Elec-
ton which appears in this impression.
The election this year comes upon the
9Th day of April. and about the only
material change in the usual notice is
that the tickets will be printed upon
colored paper instead Of white. This
is done so that they may be distinguish
ed from the regular spring election
tickets. which are upon white paper,
as the law directs they should be.
Heretofore there has been some little
difficulty in this respect and many
Primary tickets were voted in the
wrong ballot box. In adopting the
colored paper this is remedied. Every
Democrat should make it his duty to
vote at this election, so that full ex-
preston of the party may be had, and
candidates should not be backward in
announcing their names for the several
positions to be filled.

Dedication of the Washington Mon
ument.

The formal dedication of the Wash.
ington monument took place at Wash
ington on the 2lst inst. The weather
was intensely cold, but this did not
deter large crowd from gathering,
and at an early hour in the morning
the streets presented an unusually ami
mated appearance, with the numerous
military and civic organizations, and
the crowds of spectators marching
toward and converging near the base
of the grand shaft, 555 feet high, which
looks down upon all other construc
lions upreared by the hands of men.
Senator Sherman presided over the
exercises at the base of the monument.
The venerable Hon. W. w. Corcoran
President of the Monument Associa-
ton, read an address, and addresses
were made by Col. Casey, Eengineer,
and President Arthur. Appropriate
exercises were also bad in the halls of
Congress, presided over oy President
Edmunds. After prayer by Rev. S.
A. Wallis, Of Pohick Church, Va, and
music, "Hail to the Chief" by the
Marine band, the Grafton Of Hon. Rob,
ert G. Winthrop was read by Congress.
man John D. Long, of Massachusetts.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Winthrops
oration, Hon. John W. Daniel, of Vir-
ginia, delivered his oration. And
thus has at last been dedicated the
monument to the Father Of his coun.
try which has been in course of erec-
ton for the past thirty.seven years.

The Craze.

Roller skating riuks have given
theaters, saloons and other places
where people are apt to congregate, q
black eye and are now tackling the
churches. The Congregational church
at Central City, Oak, is no longer a
place of worship, but a scene of revel'
ry. Where once the solemn deacon,
contribution box in hand, walked slow.
| ly down the aisle with reverence in
his heart and 60 cents in the box, the
sinful skater cuts queer antics, and
ever and anon there is flash of white
and kaleidoscope display of rainbow
tints as some lovely damsel sits down
on her shoulder blades and kicks o.
the chandelier. The place that knew
the choir known it no more forever
but six dissolute German musicians
have taken the place of the singers
and wicked waltz music is heard where
hymns were sung so short time ago
Verify, we are strange people.

Silver and Gold.

The Plain Dealer says 1t is DIOR sill
yer and gold or their equivalent as
money--not for gold alone--we do
not believe in mono-metallsm. We
think that the history of the world of
finance has proved that gold and silver
are safe and sound as currency or a
basis of currency. We are in favor Of
free coinage for both silver and gold
and of making them equal under the
law. Both metals are produced large
ly in the United States, and therefore
should be protected and used as money
alike. They have always been so used
and treated alike till the suspension of
silver coinage by the gold bug trick.
Let them be treated alike. There is
not gold enough in the world to do the
business of the world over, and certain
ly not enough in the United States on
which to do our own business. Drive
silver out of the currency and You
tighten the money market and make it
more difficult for men to pay their
deb's or to do business, and you just
make the man of fixed capital richer
and all other men poorer.
ave are thoroughly convinced that
no harder blow could de struck at bu-
slness---at the common rights Of the
people-than to drive silver from our
currency. Let us have law, if any
change is to be made, by which silver
dollars may be received or silver bills
in exchange for silver bars or ingo1s
whenever such bars are deposited in
the treasury or sub-treasury of the
United States aud above all let US
have the united support of all business
men for the free coinage or free use Of
all silver and gold alike. When this
support is once made manifest-for
there is but little doubt that it will
come-,we shall have the safest and
best currency which the world ever
knew

The devices of Washington people
for turning an honest penny are both
numerous and ingenious. All along
the line of Pennsylvania Avenue,
through which Mr.. Cleveland's inau-
garal procession will pass, the win
dows have been advertised for rent at
prices ranging from ten to sixty dol
lars each for the day, while the inde-
fstiguable Yankee has leased lineal
frontage the whole distance from the
Capitol to the White House, projec-
ting from four to ten feet from the
hnilding line, upon which stages and
platforms are to be erected and seats
thereon utilized at rates Of one to ten
dollars for each seat, with brilliant
prospect of a tremendous raise on the
price by the 4th Of March. All the
hest rooms at the best hotels were
long since snapped up at prices that
only a Washington hotel keeper knows
how to exact, while all the halls and
billiard rooms and restaurants land
possibly the churches) will be the tenn
porary abiding place of many of the
military organizations that will be
unable TO secure other quarters.

A Now Volume.

No. of Vol. XXXIII is issued
this week, and as the old DEMOCRATIC
NORTHWEST passes another mile post
in the onward flight Of time, it feels as
young and vigorous in the advocacy
of Democratic principles as it did
when born thirty-two years ago. On
Sept. s, 1852. in the memorable cam
paign of Franklin Pierce against Gen.
Winfield Scott, the first number of
the NORTHWEST was issued, when the
present proprietor Of the paper was a
lad of eight years of age. Still at
that early age he can remember he
was an ardent Frank Pierce manor
bov, and from that time until the
present he has been a Democrat from
the sole of his foot to the crown of his
head Although the past year has
been one of business depression, the
newspaper business suffering with all
other classes of business, the NORTH
WEST subscription list has increased
somewhat, Notwithstanding the fact Of
being compelled to drop from our
books many old subscribers who were
in arrears for number of years. This
was not of our own choosing, but was
a necessary precautlon in order to meet
the times. May we hope for a more
prosperous season during the present
year, for ourselves and all our patrons
