The City Decorated.

The city is very liberally decorated
with American flags and bunting today.
Many of the stores and large share of
the residences are adorned with the ma
tional colors. Second street throughout
its entire length is ablaze with color and
presents patriotic appearance calcu-
lated to inspire every Republican heart.
There are several displays which are
unusually effective.
Pease & Mays center window pre-
sents beautiful combination of colors
and in the window is placed live
sheep. In the back ground fare hung
cards, upon which are printed the past
expressed sentimentsyupon wool of both
presidential candidates. Bryan says ::
ST am for free WOOL" Mckinley says
"Wool on the free list is vicious and
indefensible blow at the entire agricul-
tural interests of the country"
A. M. Williams & Co. are most pro-
fuse with the tri-colorS, one of their
mammoth show windows being entirely
devoted to flags and bunting. The
American eagle perches above the hand
SOul0 ASnOSTdpu5 VI MChLnloy anu
Hobart.
Mays & Grove also express them
selves upon wool. A window is parti-
ally filed with this raw material, with
the significant motto over it, "Sixteen
cents for one pound under protection. )"
A magr ifcenf eagle forms further a
-dornment.
Marders & Michelbach, in addition to
the usual DECORATIONS. have placed a
live eagle upon perch in front of the
saloon.
Republican headquarters look gay
with flags Floating high, bunting every
where, portraits of the candidates and
political posters.
Mr.. Donnell's drug store contains the
flag that was used in the ratification
meeting when Grant and Colfax were
elected in 1868. ItJis faded and worn,
but the occasion is NOT too important to
raise the old silken banner. Mrs. DON
nell was one of a number of ladies who
made it in that year.
Saltmarshe exhibits a frayed sheep
hide with short wool and an old broom,
with a Bryan motto pinned to the hide.
The flags do not exactly indicate the
political complexion of those who display
them, though the Republicans have
been by far the most liberal.

Cuban History I'm Brief.

From the Chicago Times-Herald.
Spain colonized the island in 1911.
In 1884 and again in 1854 Havana was
destroyed by the French.
Matanzas was the first city to fall into
the hands of the insurgents.
Cruelty and injustice to the natives has
always been the creed of the Spaniards.
The present revolution began Feb. "a,
1895, when the republic was proclaimed
by Marti
In 1S4S President Polk offered Spain a
million dollars for the island, which Of
fer was refused.
The constitution of Cuba, modelled on
that of the United States, was adopted

before Spain succeeded in compromising
by promising reforms.
A triangular blue union. having a sin
gle star and five stripes, three of red and
two of white is the flag of the republic
Very little reliable news of the present
instruction can be obtained, owing TO
the censorship of the press and the men
dacity of the leaders of both Sides
The first serious revolution took place
in 1S4S, under the leadership of Narciso
Lopez, who in 1851 repeated his attempts
to free the island from Spanish control.

COULDN'T KEEP WARM.
A Diplomat suffers by Not Knowing
the Uses of n Register.

the Uses or Register.
From the Washington Post.
A member OF the House, who has served
on the foreign affairs committee, and who
has often come in contact, and still comes
in contact, socially, with many Of the dip
lomats, remarked yesterday:
Il have just had a remarkable proof of
the fact that our South American neigh
bors lack a good deal of what we call
horse sense in Anglo-Saxon. 1t was fur
nlshed by one of the ministers of the
South American republics now in Wash
ingtOn. He is intelligent and hard head
ed enough generally speaking, but he fell
down completely in regard to very sim
pie matter a heating register.
'He occupies a fine residence in a fash
ionable part of the city. The cold snap
came on, and the minister began to SILVER
and freeze in his own house. He endur-
ed 1t in patience two weeks. The other
day he sent for the landlady
" 'Ah, madame" he began in his char
acteristic accent, and with despair in ev-
cry line Of his face; "ah Madame, ] cam
not stand de house. it ees simply 'orreeble

insufficiently heated
" i no can help dat said the minister
vat tell you ees de truth. / freeze to

The landlady looked around the room.
There are two registers here Do you
know how to work them?
'Weerk dem" exclaimed the minister;
'ow? No. nevair touch dem, nevair.'
" Don't you turn the little brass knob
when you want heat, and push it the 9TH
er way when 1t gets too warm? asked the
fandlady.
g No. exclaimed the minister. in a high.

" Well, said she perhaps that explains

" I see dat leetle brass ing in de reg

g We'll, all you need to do is to push it
this way. See how it's done?
"A hot wave of air suddenly shot UP
into the diplomats face as he bent over
the register to study the mechanism. He
almost screamed with JOY as he saw the
simple process Of converting his ice cham
Der into a tropical dollhouse, and the
landlady had narrow escape from being
Rugged to death.
"And for two weeks" concluded the
congressman, the minister had swathed
himself in Turkish rugs and California
blankets in a desperate attempt to keep
from freezing to death. 1t had never oc-
CURED to him or his Irish butler, or tho
rest of his household, to push the button
in the register"

The Latest Thing in Thieves Goats
From the Chicago Daily Tribune

Pickpockets who rob men and women
in street cars have adopted a new device
to escape arrest-One which at the first
trial proved successful. Detective Sam
O'Neii of the Central station saw a pick
pocket at work in a Wentworth avenue
electric car last evening, and when the
thief had extracted pocketbook from
the pocket OF woman passenger O'NeiI
sprang toward the offender.
The car was moving south over the
Madison street intersection and was heav-
iiv loaded O'Neil's hand closed on the
coat collar of the thief who dashed to-
ward the rear platform. Like a shell the
coat of the offender fell from his shout
ders. and the former occupant had no
difHculty in reaching the street and get
ting away from the detective, who, with
the empty coat in his hand, stood still
and astonished. Attempts to follow the
thief were interfered with by the crowd
on the car and in the street, and the coat
was the only evidence O'Neil could pro-
duce when he entered the Central sta
ton.
that 1t had been slit down the arms and
sleeve holes. under the shoulder blades
and in other places, so that the wearer
could get out of it without stopping to
take it off in the regular manner.

Indianapolis, Jan. 11.-Oran Fathlng is a
wealthy and highly respected citizen of
Bartholomew county, but regarded as very
eccentric. over forty years ago he planted
a walnut tree in front of his house and
said at the time that he would have his

when It ceased to bear nuts he would know
that he was destined to live but a short
lime. The tree has not borne for two
years. and last Thursday he caused it to

from this he proposes to have his coffin
made. He is in his seventy eighth year and
anDarently hale and hearty, but he con-
tends that the end is near and that he
must complete the preparations for his

for the purpose designed.

Sidewalks for Pedestrians.

The ordinarily-carefu1 wheelman, who
does not scorch. and who makes an effort
to observe the rights of other people who
do not ride. deserves some consideration
from the public in the matter Of the use Of
the driveway by pedestrians. Washington
sidewalks are 50 VIGOROUSLY bad that it Is
no wonder that citizens prefer the asphalt
Yet that fact should not excuse them from
strict observance Of the rules Ct the road
that govern the driveway. Probably many
collision between wheelmen and pedes-
TRANS is caused by the unwarranted pres
cree of the latter in the street. Such col
lisions are often charged to the fault Of the
bicycle rider, and unjustly so In some
cases. There is a present movement toward
better sidewalks. and. perhaps. IN the
course Of a few years the people OF Wash
ington will be able to overcome the habit
OF walking In the street; which Is said to
mark a resident Of this city wherever he is.
Whoever makes choice of the driveway over
the sidewalk takes the risk of encountering
the swifter-moving bodies that there hold
possession. Searching. of course becomes
more dangerous under such circumstances
and the reasons for its Encouragement are
more powerful here in consequence. At
cross-walks the wheelman cannot hope to
avoid responsibility for collision, for there
the pedestrian has a right of way that must
be respected.

democrats three weeks later. Both bodies
will pass resolutions of cordial sympathy
with the insurgent cause. The two bodies.
taken together, viii represent the great
bulk Of the American people. What will
Spain think of that? How will she digest
it? VIII she decide that the President
should have prevented it! VIII 1t seem
strange to her that while these popular
assemblies were rioting in sn indulgence
in sentiment OF such nature, her friend in
executive authority should have been alb
sent at his summer home taking his ease
after six NOR tbs of hard work? Will she
feel that at such a time he should have
teen on the scene and active In her be-
half?
Her friends in this country will Of course
endeavor to set her right. They will ex-
plain the conventions as they have all
along explained Congress She will be told
that the conventions were nerely noisy
bodies OF reckless politicians scheming for
advantage in home contest. Their de-
Nverances mean nothing. They are de-
signed to serve only a temporary purpose
The President will be defended. Spain will
be assured that he Is all right, and adj
jured to put her trust in him. He will not
forsake her. The marshals and district
oltoIheySs anu the Ia9t cruisers, are Still
at his command. and may still be put at
Spaiii's service at the bare suggestion of
Minister de LONE. But Spain will wonder,
and fresh outburst of Spanish indigna-
ton may be expected to follow the ST.
Louis and the Chicago dcIiverances.
The insurgents will not be misled. They
VIII get the correct appraisen.ent of the
matter. They will understand that these
convention resolutions do mean something:
that an irresistible public sentiment is be-
find them. and that. in the end, 1t will
lnure to their advantage. They are not
law. They cannot be put into immediate
operation Ike statute; but they will COM
pei the making Of law. and when that
Jaw comes 1t will be all the more compre-
hensive and effective for the delay.
The next occupant OF the White House,
whoever he may be, will be a friend of
Cuban independence. if the struggle on
the island is maintained by Spain that
long.

A Missing Sense of Humor.

European editorials upon American affairs
are as a rule of two classes; they either
annoy or amuse: hardly ever do they
instruct. 1t might reasonably be supposed
that the London Times would provide fire.
Guent exceptions to the rule, inasmuch as
the ThUnderer prides itself upon its
editorial wisdom, but even that journal
declines to avail itself of the services Of
those who are conversant with political and
social conditions in this country. The latest
effort of the Thunderer to enlighten its
leaders current history in the United
States deals with Mckinley of whom it
says that his career offers nothing that the
most devoted biographer could call pic
turesque. his convictions are inconspicuous,
and his opinions are indeterminate. Similar
criticism has come from nti-McKinley
newspapers en- this side of the Atlantic.
but the Times strikes out for itself when It
says: Mr. Mckinley has been acclaimed by
the scribes of his party as Napoleon. but
party enthusiasm in America Is capable of
incongruities SO splendid as to reach the
highest effects of sarcasm" The erudite
gentleman who wrote the leader never
saw portrait of Mckinley, or if he did IT
DID not occur to him that it was facial
rather than mental resemblance to the
great warrior that originally gave Mr. Nc
kinley the title which the Times discusses
with SO much of seriousness title estab-
hshed and confirmed, however, by recent
political exploits Some of these days the
Times will hear of Field Marshal Murat
Halstead and then we shall have solemn
editorial inquiry as to where he procured
his title and why.

Good and Faithful Public Servants

A New England way of answering the
inquiry What has Congress done?" would
be to ask What have the committees
done?' The legislative record is made by
committee. An Industrious and capable
committee is power that makes itself
felt from end to end of a session: weak
organization leaves little impress Upon the
pages of the journal and adds practically
nothing to the labors of the engrossing
clerks. Fortunately for the people Of Wash
irgton, the two congressional committees
whose privilege it has been to control all
general legislation as to the District Of
Columbia. have, during the session just
closed. been remarkably attentive to their
duties and have a natural sequence
made record to be proud Of. There is no
such thing as quota Of legislation-noth-
ing to curb the lawmaking ambition or to
repress wholesome activity-so the District
committees have placed to their respective
and collective credits legislative rewards
considerably in excess of anything previ-
ously known in local history.
The bright, active men-especially those
who are new to Congressional affairs
ought naturally to gravitate to member
ship in the District Committees; there
they have opportunities to learn the meth
eds of practical law-making and Congress
sional speed h-making. opportunities not
vouchsafed those who are content with
committee assignments where the demand
for energy is almost entirely absent. Dis
trict legislation is a frequent feature in
Congressional proceedings-two days in
each month are set apart by the House for
its consideration while in the Senate it
hobs up continuaily-so 1t Is comparative
ly easy for an able but inexperienced mem
her to become intimate with the methods
With which he must be acquainted before
he may reasonably aspire TO legislative
prominence. 1t should also be borne in
mind that local legislation is non-partisan;
it cultivates mental and political breadth
and incites to detailed study of the many
and various municipal needs of the resi-
dents in this peculiarly-governed commun-
ity.
During the session which concluded this
week there has been more than ordinary
devotion to District business by District
committees; this has been 50 n the House
in the face of many difficulties: in the
Senate there was less obstructiveness and
no demagogic effort in behalf of mistaken
economy. For the good that has resulted
from patient and conscientious attention
to the needs of the National Capital both in
the District and Appropriations Commit
tees the nearly three hundred thousand
residents return thanks. Many of the
things that have been left undone by Con-
81 ess will doubtless be taken up and COM
pieted at the next session.
