Now THAT the congressional election
is over, as vox populi must continually
cry, the municipal election of next May
will afford it that opportunity here
and then, six months after. it will he
heard again at the legislative election.
The terms of all elective officers should
be heightened, and elections be cousoli-
dated, so as to allow people who are
tired of the political tune an opportu-
nifty to hear some others. Wise and
industrious men are sick and disguised
with popular elections and the desire to
do away with them, like grace, is in
creasing day by day.

Tomorrow. Friday, Is Remnant Day

The natural consequence OF busy week in
sixty-seven departments is a great colec ion
of remn .nts. So at your command all over the
house are bargains in short lengths, odd aud
small sizes, broken assortmcnts, odds and
ends sc. All such things are marked atquick-
selling prices. In Dress Goods will be found
hundreds of useful lengths of the newest fall
fabrics, including many recherche and oriq-
nal effects which are ours exc usively. If you
want Suit, Skirt, Waist, by little cal
culation and management you caa secure ma
teria enough FOX your wants, in some instances
for actually one-quarter the former price. So
with the other departments-they offer scores
of u efui things at prices that bear but little re-
lition to real value.

No MATTER what else the Presiden

No MATTER what else the President
may or may not have done, ne has
effectually eliminated every democrat
in his State from the list of possible
Presidential nominees during the next
twenty years. He has so divided dis
organized, demoralized, and set at each
others throats the democrats OF New
York, that they can not unite upon one
of their own men during the present
generation, and national democratic
convention could hardly be foolish
enough to nominate a candidate for
whom State with thirty-six electoral
ballots could not reasonably be expect
ed to vote. So, after all, Mr.. Cleve-
land may be blessing in disguise.

Mr.. VANpERB1Lr's BRONZE Doors.

Mr.. VANDERBILT's BRONZE Doors.
Considerable Indignation was express
ed in New York yesterday by several
gentlemen directly concerned in the
story that has been circulated lately, to
the effect that Cornelius Vanderbilt had
been swindled in the purchase of pair
of bronze doors from firm in Paris,
France. According to the story, Mr..
Vanderbilt, while abroad, a few years
ago, visited the Cathedral of Santa Ma
ria del Flore, Florence, and so greatly
admired the San Giovanni baptistry
doors there, which were executed more
than 400 years ago by the famous
Italian sculptor Lorenzo Ghibertti, that
be determined to have a reproduction
of them made for his new mansion in
Fifth avenue, and paid 1925, 900 for them.
The doors.says the narrative, were taken
70 the Bonnard Bronze Company's
works. in west Sixteenth street, to have
some Of the guiding removed, and, it
is asserted, it was then discovered that
the doors, instead of being solid bronze,
were made of heavy wood, with metal
covering, and weighted with iron spikes
to make them appear like the real
thing.
1.-The story is absolutely untrue" said
Mr.. O'Kane, of the Bonnard Company.
THE facts are that pair of doors were
imported about II years ago for tie old
Vanderbilt mansion, where they had
been hung in the vestibule until short
time ago, when they were sent to us to
b, overhauled. We did the work and
the doors are now in their old place"

PREVIOUS to the last Presidential
election, some democrats, familiar with
the true character of Mr.. Cleveland,
said it would be better for the demo-
cratic party if he should be defeated.
What they said was them attributed by
the cuckoos, who judged others by
themselves, to personal feelings. Tues
day proved that they not only spoke
words of wisdom, but of soberness and
truth.

THE CLEVELAND democrats in New
York, in order to make sure of Senator
Hills defeat, scratched the name OF
Wheeler, their own candidate for Gov
ernor. and substituted for it that of
Morton, the republican nominee. Their
object was to beat Hill, irrespective OF
consequences, and, unfortunately for
the party that believed what they said
at the Chicago convention, they have
succeeded.

THAT THE vast majority of the peo-
ple of this country are so stupid and ig
uorant that they even vote against
their own individual interests, is proved
bv the fact that Tuesday they united
with the few rich men and voted, prac-
tically, for the repeal of the income tax
bill. though they are not subject to that
tax. and though, by means oft, the taxes
on their necessaries are reduced. But,

AS IN all the other elections since the
Presidents second inauguration, the
democratic defeat of Tuesday was not
the result of republican gains, but SOLE
ly aud entirely of democratic losses,
people who had never in all their lives
voted any other than a democratic
ticket, refusing to 60 to the polls because
they were utterly disguised with the
mugwumpism of modern democracy.

The Baltimore Sun attributes the
disastrous democratic defeat of last
Tuesday to the delay in the repeal of
the Mckinley bill. But if the memory of
not forgetful people be not at fault, the
Sun was one of the newspapers that ap-
proved the Presidents refusal to call
an early extra session Of Congress in
order to repeal that very bill.

THE LOSS OF THE ARCHER.
Report That One of the Boats Was
Picked Up BY Indians

The many friends of Capt Dawson, OF
the British bark Archer are beginning
TO Gear that all hands persisted after the
vessel was abandoned on the west coast
of Vancouver Island recently. The hulk,
which is In tow OF the tug Pioneer, has
not reached port, II is thought prob
able that the tug will take her to Port
Townsend or Port Angeles, unless ar
rangements We're made by the owners of
the British steamer Maude to tow her
to Victoria. The Maude was the first on
on the scene. A terrible gale was rag
ing about the time the vessel was aban-
doned, and for that reason fears are en-
tertained that the men were unable to
serach the shore. In any event, II Is
likely to be some time before eny dell
mite news is received. on account OF the
country thereabouts being inhabited
chiefly by Indians
A Victoria dispatch says that one OF
the boats was reported TO have been
picked up by Indians near uculet. From
the appearance OF the wreck, when
found in Barclay Sound. II is evident
the trouble was caused by the shifting
OF the ballast. Had Il been properly
slowed before the vessel left Victoria
the accident would not in all probablli-
~ have occurred.

parts, with many regrets, for all unite
In saying that the time here has been
very pleasantly spent. All Of the people
have been of q flrst-class order, which
is due to Mr.. Hegardt's skillful judg-
ment in selecting his help. We all join
in hoping that wherever he may go he
will have unbounded success, and also
his efficient clerks, Mr.. Philebaum and
Mr.. Sanberg, but the latter-named viii
never have to ask for blessings, as he is
SO tall that he can reach up and take
them. We understand that he wanted
his picture taken standing, but Photog-

ing a plate Of sufficient length.
We feel that we owe great deal to
Mrs. Sherman, who organized our Sun
day school, and has since conducted it.,
with her able assistants, Mrs. Hall as
organist, and Mrs. Lowe, Mrs. McBur--
ney and Mrs. Mudd as teachers. We
also thank Mr.. Hegardt for the trouble
and expense he was to In fitting up a
room, and in making everything COM
Portable, where we could meet and lis
ten to the sermons of Mr.. Rounds, of
the M. Z. church of Warrenton, who
mas been here once every two weeks,
rain or shine.
And again, we must not forget that
gentleman on the Mendell, Capt. Brown
The ladies especially say they appreci-
ate the many courtesies he has shown
them on their frequent trips to and
from town.
The latest arrival at the Fort is
Lucretia Vivian Mudd, who will make
her home with Mr. and Mrs. Mudd, and
now Willis wears such a bright smile
that everybody feels happy in his pres
ence. Willis said he could not afford TO
buy cheap articles for playthings, so he
sent over to town and purchased nice
bright faucet, with about foot Of gal
