No century since the world began has surpassed the nineteenth in the general development of ideas and institutions; no other has equalled it in mechanical and scientific progress. It has prepared rich and noble heritage for the coming age, and the year 1900 will be immensly in advance of 1900 in all that tends to the comfort. convenience, knowledge, peace and pros perity of mankind. The twentieth cen- tury will begin its labors at high level and with wonderfully developed materials and tools. Will it bring the illusiye gift of happiness to mankind? All we can say as to this is that it will be free from many of the sources of misery which afflicted man in the generation of the past. What new ones may be developed it remains for time to tell.

MAYOR KILDUFF's first official paper out lines policy which. if carried out, will lead to radical changes in the local govern ment It is model document and even those who do not look with favor on it's recommendations must admit that it is the work of man of progressive ideas, which he Is not afraid to express. The matter of taxation is carefully discussed. Mayor Kildutf believes in economy in public affairs and favors a consolidation of the town, city and school governments, be- lieving that the unifcation would result in a material reduction of taxation. He ad- vocates permanent street repairs, instead of the patchwork sys- tenn which ::has proved so costly. The suggestion that the city take steps to se- cure its own electric lighting plant is A good one. The DEMOCRAT is not yet pre- pared to advocate such radical change from present conditions, but the ssmatter might be investigated with good results. This and several others of the mayors recommendations will be discussed later. The message will be found ln full on ano- ther page .and should be read by every citizen and taxpayer.

WILL Mr.. WHITNEY MARRY {?
He Sailed with Miss Davidge, and
Gossips Talk.
The Story May Be Merely the Re-
vival OF an Old RuImor.

Ex-Secretary william C. Whitney's
departure for Europe. with Miss Whit
ney and Miss Joanna Davidge has re-
vived an old rumor. Social wiseacres
have been putting their heads together
once more and have again arrived at
the conclusion that Mr.. Whitney Is en-
gagged to Miss Davidge. There seems.
however. to be just as little foundation
this time for such a supposition as there
was when the former rumor to the same
effect was exploded.
q. u. NJ. Harvey. very intimate
friend Of ex-Secretary Whitney, said to
an " Evening World" reporter this after
noon that he had heard nothing about
the engagement.
1t Is now three weeks since Mr..
Whitney's party left for Europe on the
Majestic. Mr. Harvey said, and, OF
course. II Is possible for an engagement
TO have taken place In that time. But
II such thing has really occurred, !
Know nothing at all about 1t.
IF Mr.. whitney had any matrimonial
intentions he kept them from my knowl.
At Mr.. Whitneys house, / West Fifty.
seventh street, II was stated that before
sailing Mr. Whitney denied a rumor
that he was engaged to Miss Davidge
Nothing was known OF the present ru-
NOR.

and gave chase to the miners. who re-
treated with the stolen horses. The
miners took refuge behind their fortifi-
cations
A battle at long range followed. The
deputies got their Parrott and Gatling
guns In position and fred several shots
from them.
Gen. Adams says he will train his
long guns on Bull Hill and begin bonn
bardment of the miners fortress. II the
militia does not arrive soon.
The troops are now marching from
Midland, but the roads are almost I'm
passable and they cannot reach Bull
Hill before p. NJ.
