WILL GLOW WITH ILLUMINATION.
Unique Features of the Night Display
Grand Army Place.

Grand Army Place.
One of the most important features of the
decorations will be the illumination of
PENNSYLVANIA avenue. AT intervals have
been placed skeletons of the corps badges
and other familiar emblems, accompanied
by the names of prominent battles and dis
tinguished soldiers and sailors. These will
flash out with all the brilliance of incan-
descent lights, a display unique in its con-
ception and extent One of these is an i'm
mense G. a. X. badge which stands on the
corner of the treasury grounds at the head
of the avenue and will be visible its entire
length from the Capitol. The central place
of interest to the visiting veterans is Grand
Army Place. Here are located the regi-
mental, brigade, division and corps tents,
where the old soldiers may most readily
find their associates in that time of peril
which they experienced together. Here
also are the larger tents in which the vari-
Gus corps reunions will be held, Thomas,
Meade, Sherman, Sheridan and Grant.
Reproduction of the Kearsarge.
Here, also, stands the striking reproduc-
ton of the Kearsarge as she steamed out

PETITIONS DON'T COUNT.

In referring to the reappointment OF
George T.. Anthony to the board of rail-
way commissioners the Atchison Globe
concludes that petitions don't count. 1t
saws: THE executive council at Topeka
reappointed George T. Anthony as a
member of the state board of railroad
commissioners, in spite of the fact that
petition signed by $3.50 was pre-
sented, asking that General r. G.
Bradshaw of Ottawa be appointed. The
supporters of Anthony presented petit
ton containing 3,700 names. Attorney
General Ives cast the only vote for Brad
shaw"
The Globe takes wrong view Of the
matter as to the potency OF petitions.
The force in the minority petitions pre-
sented to the executive council Is found
in who and what they represented. The
larger petition spoke for only very
small community, while the smaller
pleaded for the whole state, and came
from all over the commonwealth.

TIE INFAMY OF VICTORY.

The lustre of Dave Hills GLORIOUS
achievements is dimming fast. The
bold steal perpetrated to seat one OF his
henchmen in congress has been so plain
ly exposed that committee of Demo
Gratis has unanimously condemned 1t by
seating the Republican contestant.
Judge Maynard, who committed the
theft of stealing the election returns
from the comptroller's office thereby en-
aiding Hill to count in member OF the
legislature and who was afterward re-
warded for his dirty work by an appoint
ment to the court of appeals, has been
condemned by the bar association of
New York, and his removal demanded.
The contest for election supervisors
following Hills rascally performances
resulted in sweeping Republican victories
all over the state. His own city defeat
ed his chosen candidate, who was the
regular nominee. 1t is plain that Mr..
Hill has bought his triumphs in New
York state at dear price. He has earn
ed infamy with victory and made a
record which no party can afford 10
made its own.
The person must be blind indeed who
now believes that four months hence
Hill will be regarded as even a presiden-
tial possibility. The Democratic party's
most marked characteristic is its pen
chant for laundering, but, unless it is so
ordered by the fates, it will never COM
NIT the folly of nominating such per-
son for president of the United States.

The people of Genoa, Italy, propose to
celebrate the memory of Columbus by
an exhibition which is to open on June l
next 1t will not be commercial and
industrial display merely, but will also
appeal to all lovers of art. Among the
features contemplated viii be the pre-
sentation of an opera, entitled "Colum-
bus Columbian museum in the house
in which the great navigator was born.
and the exhibition of a rare collection of
paintings, statuary and relics of past
centuries belonging to the Genoese nobili-
~ and to the prlncipality. Tourists who
propose to visit Italy this summer will
find in such display very delightful
attraction.

According to official statistics collected
by Mr.. George c. Buchanan, the Louis
vile liquor prince, the production of
whisky in Kentucky up to Feb. 20 in the
current season amounted to 10, 734, 800
gallons, of which 40. 1914 gallons were
spirits, against 1913, 1873 for the CORE
spending period last year. The Louis
Vile Commercial says this decrease of
over 100000 gallons in production is a
good thing for the Kentucky whisky
trade and proportionate decrease for
the balance of the season will be a better
thing. The better thing the CONNER
cial refers to is higher prices for the
goods. A better thing still, according to
the notion of some people, would be for
the government to remove the 90-cents-
a-gallon tax on liquor, which would so
increase the competition and reduce the
profits in the business that it would die
of inertia

The statement was made a short time
ago that Chinese were securing natural
ization papers in Canada as British sub
jects and were using them to enter the
United States. Fresh reports to the
same effect are now being circulated.
The treaty of the United States with
Great Britain makes it obligatory upon
us TO make no distinction among British
subjects on account Of race OF. color.
This opens the way for fresh complaint
against Canada, and before the trouble
can be overcome an army OF Chinese
may invade the United States.

The Lawrence World concludes
strong editorial endorsement of the idea
or policy of educating the Indians Of
this country as the proper solution of
the Indian question, with this declara-
ton: 1.-The cry that the Indian is in
capable of culture and refinement is sell
dom heard now. That has gone to be-
come tradition. We have placed new
truths before this people and they are
hungering and thirsting for more. Shall
we give them what they crave? By do
ing so we can make strong, stalwart
men Of them, men that will be a credit
to the country" The trend of public
sentiment is very strongly in that direc-
ton, and with the understanding that
the expense of this educational sytem
shall be paid out Of the funds in the
treasury to the credit of the Indians,
there will be practically no objection or
opposition to the policy.

The senate refused to strike out the
Indian appropriation bill the provision.
requiring that Indian agents shall be
hereafter taken from the list of army Of
ficers, and the bill will most likely pass
in that form. This may be accepted as
the first decisive step taken in the d.
rection of transferring the Indian bureau
from the interior to the war depart
ment where, in the opinion of many, it
should have been placed years ago for
the good of the government and of the
Indians alike,

hope that it will have some influence
upon the national conventions to be held
at Minneapolis and Chicago. He has
conferred with a number of the leading
silver men in Washington, and they ap-
prove OF the silver convention plan.

The late trial of strength between the
two Democratic factions in the state OF
Louisiana shows that they are so nearly
equal in numbers as to make compromise
of their quarrel a matter of difficulty.
The lottery wing, which claims to have
majority, would justify its belief in the
doctrine of chance and improve its posi-
ton before the country if it should offer
to decide between McEnery and Foster,
the rival candidates for the gcvernship,
by adopting the favorite Kentucky
method in such cases, j. e. the toss OF a
copper.

The free coinage Democrats in congress
will no doubt thank the Democrats of
Minnesota for indicating to them and the
party extant "a way OUT of the present
perplexed and perplexing situation on the
coinage question. The plan proposed by
the Minnesota Democrats is borrowed
from the Republican position on the
question, It's true, but it has been
labeled "the4 traditional policy of the
Democratic party" and that is enough
to insure its acceptance by the bulk of
that party.
