The Democrats have captured
Montana. Local elections Monday
were held at Butte, Anaconda, Great
Falls, White Sulphur Springs and
Miles City. Great Falls elected q
Republican Mayor, the rest of the
ticket being Democratic. The most
noted victories were those of Butte
and Anaconda, where the ring Re-
publican element was whipped out of
existence. The best posted politi-
clans in the Territory claim that
Mondays election demonstrated that
Montana is safe for Democratic
majority at the fall elections. The
Democrats are united and the Re-
publicans divided.

The Republicans in Alabama hay,

The Republicans in Alabama have
formed White Mans party. 1t is
full of significance that the first po-
litical party to organize in this coun-
try whose main principle is the eNclu-
sion of the negro, should be formed
by Southern Republicans. A large
number of the leading Republicans of
Alabama met at Birmingham on last
Wednesday, with the avowed purpose
of making their party a white mans
party, and perfected an organization
which they call the White Republic
can Tariff League, the distinctive
provision of which is that no ne
gro shall be eligible to membership.
While the Convention was in session
other meetings were held by the ne
groes and disreputable white Repub-
licans, at which the originators of
the League were denounced as trail
{tors.
The State, referring to Hon. VIM.
L. Wilson's address at the COM
mencement of the Richmond Medi-
cal College, says it was an able and
carefully prepared one, which was
listened to with close attention. the
speaker being frequently interrupted
by applause. Among other striking
things he said:
'The advance of science is no longer n Cuc-
rilln warfare. Her army Is no longer made nm
of separate and uncommunicating sections
each moving upon its own line. concealing its
discoveries or achievements. guarding its tro-
phies with sense of private ownership. 1t
has become ono harmonious aud enthusiastic
column. Every discovery or victory is flashed
instantaneously along the whole line, every
capture is made common property. The intel
ligent man of this generation with senses alert
and eyes to see the movements of knowledge
and industry has enjoyed the experience of
the Disciples who witnessed the trans6gura-
ton of their Master Before his gaze new
heaven and new earth have been unrolled
and he has involuntarily exclaimed:
Blessings on Science: when the world grew old,
When Faith grew doting and our reason cold,
Twas she discovered that the world was young
And taught language in its lisping tongue.
In this great movement. gentlemen. your
profession has occupied no hill of observation
Its leaders have kept their part of the line well
advanced. They have thrown off the odi,tm

Blind reverence is authority, fatal to all pro-
gress- such as made the faculty of the fifteenth
century cry out, eve had rather be wrong
with Galen than right with Paracilcuci" has
yielded to the true scientific spirit which
swears in the words of no master. and is de-
lighted to exchange error. however august the
authority that champions it for truth, no mat
ter how humble its herald. 1t has learned to
accept the sentiment of John Stuart Mill, a
sentiment worthy to be inscribed over the por-
tai OF every school of science or indeed of
higher learning. that the beliefs for which we
have tue most warrant are those for which,
there is constant challenge TO all the world
to prove them untrue"

Mrs. Mutsu is q native Of Toxic the mikado's

emblem Of good fortune. It is customary to

craft. The higher classes are the Ruge or

feminine education in one Of the fashionable

sons. The minister and his wife are refined
and cultivated. They both believe in foreign
ideas and are in the front rank OF the reform
circles Of Japan. Mrs. Mutsu has abandoned
her picturesque native costumes and couture.
Her western dresses are selected with great
taste. At the diplomatic receptions at the ex-
ecutive mansion, when the ladies Of the diplo-
matte corps and Of fashionable circles vie with
each other in the elegance of their toilettes,
Mrs. Mutsu is always robed in all the richness
and taste Of an adept in western ideas Of femi-
nine toilettes
The Japanese legation is one Of the features
OF Washington social life during the fashion
able season. Mrs. Mutsu's drawing rooms are
always thronged with the elite Of the capital
and the annual ball is an event of the season.

The Capitol Ready for Congress-.

As a general thing it is safe to say that the
Capitol is in a decidedly cleanly condition
The employees whose business it is to make the
place look like new have labored hard and the
results are gratifying. On the Senate side
there has been a good deal of reftting and as
a consequence some of the committee rooms
have improved III appearance to such an extent
that those who have been accustomed to make
their headquarters therein will fail for time
to recognize the apartments. The members of
the committee on manufactures have never
regarded their room as worthy their presence
and Mr. Riddleberger used to indulge in pretty
vehement language as to its condition and loca-
ton. Its out-of-the-way location has not been
changed but the interior of the room has, Its
dinginess has given way before vigorous

arms Office. New carpets and rugs a gas log

and gorgeously framed mirror are among the
new features.
The rooms Of the committees on fish and
fisheries and military and militia on the Senate
side have also been improved to a very consid-
orable extent

was also gifted with voice of phenomenal
purity and compass, and in her school DAYS de-

her musical training and for some time was
seriously considering the advice of her in

considerations, however, dissuaded her from

The Department Of State has been informed
officially that the government Of Hsyti will
appoint Mr.. Annibal Price its plenipotsntiary
to reside near the republican court at Wash
ington. The new envoy has had q somewhat
varied experience in the ups and downs Of
Official life. Having been minister Of finance
and an exile he returns to power on the rising
tide Of the recent tidal wave of revolution and
will do the diplomatic honors of the lates,
regime in control Of the affairs of the black
republic.
This determination on the part of the new gov
eminent will lead to the displacement Of Mr..
Stephen Preston, and will give to the corps dip
lomatique a new dean. Mr.. Preston presented
his credentials to President Grant in February,
1873. Since that time he has been member of
the diplomatic circle resident near the govern
ment at Washington. The exceedingly inter-
esting family Of the Haytian minister has fig
ured prominently in Washington society.
Madame Preston is native of Kingston, ia
maica. In her maiden days she WAS great
belle among the types of Antillean beauty
which gathered at that colonial capital Az
Madame Preston she was greatly admired in
the government circles at Porte-au-Prince, and
during her long residence at Washington she
has been general favorite.
In the family of the retiring envoy and dean
are also three daughters, who are beautiful, &C.
eomplshed and very popular. Miss Marie C.
Preston is a peculiarly charming young lady of
retiring disposition, but great favorite. Miss
Rose Antonette is petite brunette, with large
masses of black curls covering head Of
GrecIan cast Miss Louise Emile is a stately
young lady. tall and wiilowy, with peculiarly
winning vivacity of manner.
Without disparagement Of the coming envoy
1t can be said that it will be difficult for the
president of Hayti to find minister who will
surpass the present diplomatic representative
Of the republic in courtliness of bearing and
skill in affairs. And at no time has there been
a family in the diplomatic corps possessing
more varied and striking types of feminine
loneliness.
The recall Of Minister Preston on account of
the recent revolutionary upheaval in the poll
tics OF the Haytian republic. the overthrow of
the government and the substitution Of a new
regime will place Baron de Fava at the ead

dignified representative of the ancient Neapoh-
tan nobility presented his credentials as the
representative Of 1taly's king in 1881, just one

The government of the imperial archipelago
over which the mikado rules, since the estab-
iishment Of permanent diplomatic relations
with the authorities at Washington, has been
represented by statesmen and diplomats who
have been prominent in the progressive move
ments in japan. Mr.. and Mrs. Kuki were
among the most popular members OF the diplo-
matte corps. In the present envoy, Mr.
Munemitsu Mutsu. the empire is again we'll
represented and the relations Of the two coun-
tries stand upon footing OF the greatest
cordiality. Minister Mutsu presented his Gre
dentiais to President Cleveland in the mid
summer of 1888. The last season of the demo-
cratic administration Witnessed the debut of
Mr.. and Mrs. Mutsu in the world of official
society at the American capital. Mrs. Mutsu
soon won her way to the favor of the executive
and cabinet circles and was much admired BY
the polite society Of Washington.
Mrs. Mutsu is a representative Of the aristo-
cratic classes of her native land. The women
of Japan are Of small stature and as a rule yery
beautiful, being modified type Of the Nom
golian physiognomy. They are exceedingly neat
in dress and couture. In Japan under the old
regime maiden, wife or widow could be dis
tinguished by the style of her couture The
women are always thoroughly trained in house
hold duties, and among the better classes they
are educated in literature, music fancy work
and other feminine accomplishments. The
graces of manner and conversation and polite
ness generally are national characteristic. An
established code of manners governs social
intercourse, which are taught in the schools
The women, unlike their Asatic sisters, have
more or less freedom of social life, and among
their favorite recreations are tea drinking and
gossiping parties.

The teachers for the night schools are drawn
from the ranks Of the day schools, and are thus
well qualified to teach the old idea how to
shoot from their experiences in directing the
aim of young marksmen. 1t is easier. they say,
to teach the older pupils to read or write than the
very small pupils of tender years. In the case Of
the little ones teacher must first find some
means of attracting and holding the attention Of
careless, thoughtiess, formless minds unaccus-
toned to any restraint or discipline. On the other
hand the older pupils all attention, eager to
understand and to learn, and the only difficulty
which the teacher encounters is in penetrating
the walls of ignorance, aided materially BY help
from the other side, given by the pupil.
THE MANUAL TRAINING IDEA
has been engrafted upon the night school sys-
tenn for white pupils, comprising instruction for
girls and women in sewing and cooking. These
schools are centrally located and are run en-
tirely Independent Of those branches dealing
with the ordinary studies. There are no re-
strlctions, of course upon girl who attends
the cooking or sewing classes to prevent her
from taking the book course as we'll, except
that the hours for instruction are likely to con-
dict. In the colOred schools nothing has been
done in the manual line, for the same reasons
of economy which deferred the superintendent
from organizing the advanced class. In the
white schools this advanced course is practi-
cally minimiZed edition of the ordinary
eighth grade, with few lessons in boOkkeep-
ing and mechanical drawing added. This is
as far AZ the course can 20 until there Is an in
crease in the appropriation for the pay of
