home, on south Lee street, at an early

sufferer from heart trouble for some
time. The deceased was an old resi-
dent and native of Alexandria, and was
known by the greater portion of the
community, among whom she was
much esteemed. and her death is sin
cerely regretted.

ter of Mr.. William D. Wood, who had

EMANCIPATION CELEBRATIoN.-The
colored Catholic Knights of Washing
ton will take part in the emancipa-
ton parade in this city on the 23d.
They will be prominent feature of the
parade. Chief Marshal Frank Will
Hams has announced his mounted staff.
The staff will wear high beaver hats,
black suits and yellow, blue and white
sashes. With the county marshals the
stsd will number about fifty. James
E. Turner has been appointed mar
shall of the Falls Church division which
will be 200 strong in line. cambridge
Smith will head the farmers from Gum
Springs and Woodlawn. The Young
Mems Zouave Club, Captain Andrew
Johnson, of this city, have decided to
parade OIL horseback. Magnus Robin
son, chairman of the committee of ar
raDgements, is working assidnously TO-
ward making the affair success. Appli-
cation has been made to the Governor to
allow the Capital City Guards and But
Ter Zouaves, of Washington, to come
here on that day, and the application
has been sent to the Mayor for his az
prevail. Opinion as to the wisdom of
granting the request seems to be d.
vided, some contending that it will be
imprudent for the reason that there
was trouble last year when the Butler
Zouayes came here. Others, however,
think that the permission should be
granted only with the express under
standing thst the soldiers come with
unloaded guns and that the officers
guarantee that the cartridge boxes be
left behind, and that the soldiers be-
have themselves. Of course the au-
thorities have no disposition to curtail
the pleasures of any one. but the mis-
cellaneous horde Of colored people
which follow soldier companies to this
city from Washington is menace to
the peace of the community. There is
no special trouble apprehended from
the soldiers. Mayor Thompson has
the matter under advisement.

Democratic Discord.

our democratic friends do not appear to
have been chastened by public wrath to a
point whore they can dwell together in
unity and harmony. Having fought over
the formulating of national politics to no
purpose. one would naturally suppose that
in defeat they would find fraternal relaxa-
ton and quiet, but this does not appear to
be the case. On the contrary they are not
only quarroiling over the question "Who
did it, but they arc also serously.a At odds
over the most empty Of honors.
The announcement that cx-Speaker Crisp
would be candidate for the compliment
Of denomination by his party in connec-
ton with the organization of the Fifty
Fourth Congress has served to place the
teeth of the entire administration on edge
The president has caused il to be under
stood that Crisp must be suppressed at
VIVA teVer cost, and so bitter are Mr.. Cleve-
land and his sympu thzers that they threat
en- to take off their coats for the express
purpose Of preventing the ex-speaker from
receiving any further recognition at the
hands Of the democratic members Of Con-
gress.
This seems to be freak of i'll nature on
the part OF Inc president, which may have
had its origin partially in the desire of Mr..
Cleveland TO create the impression among
the people that the democratic party Is a
sound money organization. If this be the
case, the effort will hardly prove success.
So many democratic State conventions
have come out for free silver that the peo-
pie will hardly be deceived as to the true
status Of the financial policy of the demo-
cratic party.
| If Crisp desires 10 enjoy The solace of re-
ceiving nomination for the chair which
he once filled and which he knows he can
not reach again. at least for two years,
there would seem to be little reason for
the administration to exert the full force
