DAUGHTERS OF THE REVOLUTION.

The general convention of the
Daughters of the American Rev
olution that convenes in Wash
ington, D. c., this week, is an
event of more than passing in
terest, and should not fail to re-
ceive in all parts of America the
recognition it deserves, and we
hope it will be fraught with ins
SEPARATIONS of patriotism among
all classes of our citizens.
1t is said that the delegates
will represent every State in the
Union; they bear the authority of
more than IL, 900 members, and
their object is most patriotic
they aim to ~perpetuate the mem
DRY of the men who laid the foun-
dation of the freest and greatest
government in the worlds his
tory.
There is the touch of ancestral
pride in their labors, for they are
themselves the descendants of
the builders of the republic.
This fact, however. does not de-
tract from the value or imports
ance of the work, but rather adds
to it, for the reason that the per
sonal interests they have in it
will insure it's thoroughness.
It is we'll that the women of
the country take upon themselves
the gracious task of preserving
in one way or another the patri-
otto achievements of the past, No
matter with what period Of the
nations life these efforts deal,
they are all of incalculable value.
Whether 1T be the deeds of valor
in the field, or the words Of wis
dom uttered ''listening Senates;"
whether it be the war of the rev.
olution or the war Of 1872, in
which the foundation of the ma
tional structure was cemented
with the blood of patriots, or the
gigantic struggle for the preser~
walton of the Union that the
fathers had constructed, to no
better hands could the work of
embalming the memory Of them
be entrusted than to the women
of the land, with whom, indeed.
it is a labor of love.
The influence Of these patriotic
endeavors on the part of Amer
lean women cannot be estimated
too highly When the child at
his mothers knee lisps in his
prayer a supplication not only
for parents and home. but also
IO1 Iilo GUILTY., WhOLI WIN LIS
A B @ his mother also teaches
him the origin of the Stars and
Stripes, when in the daily reun-
ions of the family circle national
valor and national worth find
some Illustration, when in the
home patriotism has it's apostle
in the woman, there is no danger
to the future of the country from
the rising generation.
It is ar excellent, a glorious, a
patriotic cause, in which the
Daughters of the American Rev
olution are embarked, and be-
cause of all it means for the past,
present, and future of our coun-
try, as we'll as for their own
sweet sakes, they should be most
welcome to the nations capital.

BRYAN's SILVER PARTY.

A Washington special to the
st. Louis Republic tells of the
presence in that city Of William
j. Bryan, of Nebraska; J. J.
Mott, of North Carolina; Gen.A.
F, Warner and other rabid sill
verites, for the purpose of be-
ginning the organization of a
new party in every State in the
Union. It is stated that the sill
yer leaders anticipate a refusal
on the part of both the Republis
can and Democratic conventions
20 adopt a free coinage plank
and confidently expect immedi>
ately thereafter large accessions
to the ranks of the new party
throughout the West and South
Continuing the special says:
.'Dr Mott, who is chairman of
the National committee, has
chosen Offices in the Sun build
ing here, where the Blmetallic
Union, a kindred institution, is
located. The Bimetallic Union
is having 200, 900 copies of these
resolutions adopted by the silver
conference printed for general
circulation, and expects within
the next few months to ship from
500. 900 to 1000, 900 to free coins
age organizations in different
States.
lit is gstated that the silver
leaders have lately been actively
organizing throughout the coun-
try and that in some of the States
preparations are already made to
bring out an electoral ticket in
anticipation of the action OF the
National Convention, which it is
belived will be called after the
Chicago convention. The leads
ers of both the silver organiza-
tions observe very great retl-
cence as to their work and plans.
"They declare confidently that
no candidate nominated on the
single standard platform can Sc
cure a majority in the Electoral
College and the election will GER
tainly be thrown into tile House,
where each State will cast one
vote for the President of the
United States in accordance with
a majority vote of the delegates.
They intimate that should what
they term the cause of silver be
not fully recognized by either of
the two big conventions, the
efforts of the new silver party
will be directed to bring about a
choice of Mr. Cleveland's sue
cesso by a vote of the States in
the present House, a vote in
which Nevada would count for
as much as New York, Colorado
would stand on equal terms with
Pennsylvania and Utah would
Offset Ohio"
The above scheme is a wild
one, but the Democratic party
will undoubtedly be the better
off if such marplots as Bryan,
Tillman, Sibley and others Of
their ilk do decide to throw off
their masks and flock with their
own kind. They have system
atically made war on the party
leaders and platform and have
spared no effort to pull down the
organization. To their work is
largely due the party's defeat.
If the new silver party removes
these agitators from the Demo.
cratic councils it will have done
good service TO the Democracy.
There is little danger of it's get
ting many others.

Frederick Price, who used to
be the centre rush in the foot>
ball team Of the University of
Georgia, is now fighting in the
Cuban army, He says it is not
half SO exciting as football.
Weyler finds that he has not
only to fight the Cubans, bat the
friends of the Spanish officers
whom he has seen fit to relieve
of their commands. The oppo-
sItion of the latter, moreover. is
formidable to a degree.
Japan doesn't by any means
propose to let Russia pl actically
take possession of Korea by ess
tablishing a pr~otectorate there
over. and SO she doesn't hesitate
to put on her fighting clothes as
against the big Bear. Japanese
pluck may become a proverb,

thing goes on.

Newspaper offices all over the

with letters from all sorts of
lunatics proposing the widest
and most fantastic schemes for
saving the great vessel. But the
wrecking companies were wiser
than the cranks. They went on
coolly and calmly to apply meth
DDS which had been thoroughly
tested by experience. and the
result is a marked triumph for
skill and sagacity in saving the
steamship.

LONDON MARKETS
Business Expected to Be Dull Until the
New Year Comes

LONDON, Dec. 6.-Easier money
rates are producing a further advance
in investment securities. The stock mar
ket has been very quiet and is not likely
to be active until the new year. Home
railways and foreign securities were
firm. Egyptian securities have risen,
and it is believed the decision of the
tribunal holding that the funds ad
vanced by the caisse of the Egyptian
debt for the Dongola expedition must be
refunded will tend to prolong the Brit
ish occupation. Brazilian securities went

THE OLYMPIC ATHLETICS
Assert That COrbett Is Now Ready
To Fight
The National Club Makes Explanation
of the Sharkey- -Fitzsimmons Affair
to Protect Its Good Name.


SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 6.-There is
prospect that Corbett and Fitzsim-
mons may be brought together in this
city in ten round contest. The Olymp-
ic Athletic club, one of the Oldest and
most influential institutions of the city,
has offered the men $4,000 to fight ten
rounds under it's management Corbett
has accepted the proposition. which Will
now be laid before Fitzsimmons.
The directors of the National Athletic
club sent the following statemtn today
to the Associated Press. explaining the
clubs position relative to the Fitzsim-
ons-Sharkey contest:
To protect the good name; OF the club
and as matter of justice to the public,
we have left nothing undore to deter
mine the correctness of the claim made
by Fitzsimmons that Referee carp had
robbed him of the decision over Sharkey.
A committee of six physicians, two of
whom were designated by the morning
papers, examined Sharkey and con-
Cured in saying that he had been in
jured.
Apart from the medical examination
ordered by the club the precaution was
taken to stop payment of the check for
$4,000, so that if fraud had been perpe-
trated by anybody upon the club and the
public. an investigati tion would reveal
the same and the guilty party brought
to justice. The matter is now in the
hands of the courts and the club is
awaiting anXiously the result OF the jul
dicial inquiry. (Signed)

DAMAGING A REPUTATION.

The reputation, originally good, of many
proprietary articles, Is in some instances
damaged by that most egregious of all bust
ness follies, fiamboyant advertising. The
public soon becomes disgusted with an arti-
Gle concerning which statements are made
with the evident design of hoodwinking it.
by reckless claims of impossible merits. 1t
has ever been the aim of the proprietors of
Hostetters Stomach Bitters to make the
published allegations relating to it conform
with reason and proven facts. That they
have succeeded in this laudabe design Is
shown by the fact that their remedy is no.
only popular but widely respected. Ex-
perience without the aid of bombast has
demonstrated that it is tonic of the first
order, a safe and thorough remedy for and
preventive of malarial diseases. salutary
anti-spasmodic and remedy for debility
and capital corrective of disorders of the
stomach, liver and bowels.

THE LEXINGTON RAILWAY.

Senators Go Over the Territory of
Proposed Extension.
Senators Mcmillan and Proctor this after
noon went on a tour Of inspection over
the land proposed to be occupied by the
lexington and Soldiers Home Railroad
Company in the extensions outlined in a
pending bill. They were accompanied by
ex-Congressman Talbot of Maryland and
Col: Douglass, formerly chief engineer of
the Baltimore and Ohio road. who repre-
sent the lexington road before Congress.
This is the bill recently submitted by the
Eckington company to the District commit
tee through Senator Mcmillan, who has
since been examining it, but has not yet
introduced 1t in the Senate. 1t proposes
to extend the line of the road from the
southern point on the water front to the
arsenal gate, thence north to NJ street,
east to 9th east, and up 9th to Stanton
Square, there to connect with the present
line of the road. This would involve the
use OF the Anacostfa tracks on NJ street
between ~ and 9th east. The Commits
sicners have just taken action on this
proposition, which is similar to one pending
In the House, and have recommended that
1t be rejected. The District committee of
the Senate, however, will continue to con-
slider the proposition in connection with
the plan for putting the entire lexington
