That Panhandle Parade.

DENVER, March 3l.-The fifth day OF
the great celebration of the opening Of
the Panhandle route was the grandest of
the week. 1t proved a day OF days.
More beautiful weather was never en-
joyed in Denver. The streets along
which the parade passed were
one wilderness of flowers, flags,
bunting and banners, while the pave
ments were one mass of humanity, 80
closely packed that sll travel had to be
suspended for several hours. The banks
and the state and federal offices were
closed, and all business suspended from
one to five p. m. 1t is esti-
mated that $4,000 people witnessed
the pageant, which, without doubt,
was the grsndest ever presented in this
state. The column OF the parade was
over four miles long, and was divided
into six grand divisions.

What He Thinks.

Mr.. Ed. Braden, OF the firm Of Braden
& Anderson, contractors for the federal
building, thinks that "DOrnick" who
wrote letter in recent issue OF the
LIGHT, advocating public ceremonial
in laying the foundation of that build
ing should "vait for de- wagon und then
takes a ride" because he proposed to
get up a good celebration on account of
his firm and to lay the foundation stone
solidly with the adjuncts Of a plentiful
supply OF wine and beer. Mr.. Braden is
to be commended for his liberality, but
the idea of public celebration Is a good
one and should be carried out.

New YORK, March 3l.-A Washington
special to the Herald says: "There is
no doubt that the president will sign the

member Of congress, the president re-
ferred to the surplus in the treasury,
and In making hasty calculation as to
the appropriation bills, which would
tend to increase this amount, included
the river and harbor bill. The gross
amount provided for in the bill is q
trifle in excess Of $4,000, coo. and as
this Ia about equal to the presidents ex-
peotations, he is supposed to be entire

A LITTLE more wisdom Of speech was
expected Of the Fort Worth Gazette
than is evidenced In the following:
"Mr. Blaine will sail for home on the
day the republican convention meets.
II he is nominated for president while
in mid ocean and the convention ad.
journs before he lands he cannot find 1t
in his heart to make another conven-
ton necessary by resigning.
Has the Gazette any knowledge OF
any convention to nominate q presi-
Dental candidate adjourning before the
acceptance OF the candidate, or his re-
lection, was asoertained Does not the
Gazette know that his little screed is
merely intended to throw discredit upon
. political enemy by subterfuge which
is hardly consistent with the dignity of
character which the Gazette assumes.
Mr.. Blaine has unqualifiedly signified
his intention to keep out of the conven-
ton, and says he is not q candidate.
He arranges his departure from Europe
so as to compel the convention to take
another man, and it is neither generous
nor manly, nor consistent with journal
istic propriety to treat that act as.insin-
cere.

EDITORIAL BREVITIES.

The Brennan Banner bristles like q
bantum in strange barn-yard and
emits the following BY way of crow:
THE white republicans OF Texas are
growing unnecessarily jealous of the
prominence attained BY the oolOred man
and brother, N. W. Quincy. He Is en-
titled to all the prominence he has
gained, and Of right and In point Of
natural ability ranks head and shoulders
above any white republican In the
state"
When next the Banner rails out at
"black republicans" and the "nigger
party" and NEGRO domination" 1t will
be in order for it to enter its dimirutive
sanotum, turn over the strings which
bind it's Issues and read the above. The
milk In its own cocoanut, is the admis-
sion, by an unwashed democrat, that a
colored republican politician is the peer
and superior Of q white one. When did
the democracy learn SO much wisdom?
Is the Banner man bidding for oolored
votes? Does he not understand that be-
fore he can secure them and gain foot
hold In the affections Of his colored
brethren he must repent, be converted
and be baptized in the cleansing waters
OF true republiosnism? Still there is
hope. The Banner man has learned to
esteem even his colOred brother as bet
ter than himself.
