horse whose name has been in the

that babyhood has passed into man

the advent of the bicycle sulky, has
been brought back, in his old age,
to spend the remainder of his days
in the land of his birth, free from

Honesty the Best Psliey.

Another bit of testimony to the truth
Of the axiom that honesty is the best
policy is conveyed in a dispatch from
Ocala, Fla When the defanlted presi-
dent had listened to reading Of war
rant for his arrest, he excused himself
to get his coat and hat, went up stairs
and shot himself This pltiful refuge
in self destruction to escape the legal
consequences of defalcations, forxeries
and kindred wrong dOings is matter
of such frequent occurrence As to be
commonplace. Nor Is it INDUCED in
only to avoid arrest. The one who has
escaped, almost as frequently as the
one who has not, ends his life, bitter
with shame and remorSe. II IS the
fashion of the iokers to refer to the
good times defanlters and Others who
have gone wrong financially are having
in other climates, while their victims
are left to suffer and to work. II IS a
poor joke. There is no place for these
/ wanderers Over and over is the test.

those who at last 60 back to be i'm
PrisOned rather pAan endure the har-
rowing strain upon them-that the

Democrat can be selected. One
Democrat, by custom, is always ap
pointed, and as Mr.. Ross is so well
and favorably known among all
classes of people in this community,
it is hoped that President McKin-

SOCIETY THIS WEEK.

The social circle this week has
been one of merriment and enjoy
ment. Never before in the history
of the social circle has there been
so much anxiety to make everything
agreeable and pleasant to the many
thousand people who visited the
city to witness the Inauguration of
Major Mckinley. The hospitality
of the Washington people has never
before been so expressive as it h S
the past week.
Among some of the most notable
events that have taken place were,
the strangers welcome By the citi-
zens of Washington under the aus
pices of Messrs. Daniel Murray,
DIR. Francis. DR.. Shadd, Robert II.
Terrell and others; the reception
by Mr.. and Mrs. Charles r. Doug
lass; still another by Miss Williams
and other well-known society peo-

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
PARTY VS.. PARTY.

The factional fight that has been
going on between the two demo-
cratic factions in this city is no h.
ing more than the disgraceful
scenes that are often prevalent
among certain republican factions
In this city The democratic fac
tions have fully demonstrated their
inability for home rule by their at
tack on Mr.. Harry E. Davis. When
ever the question of home rule is
considered, some excuse is ALWAYS
made by the Opposers to home rule
by saying hat the negroes will rule
IN the District of Columbia or that
they were responsible for the exist
ing condition of affairs in the Dis
trict of Columbia. If the colored
man voted for the appropriation of
money he never received any of it.
The white man always had the dis
bursement of the funds, but the
colOred man was held responsible.
How much benefit have District
democrats received by their opposi-
tion to Mr.. Davis? Has not
man a right to advocate any prin-
ciple he feels disposed? 1t is not
believed that Mr.. Davis was op-
posed on account of anything per-
sonal against him as much as it
was to get even with Mr.. Cleveland.
Mr.. Cleveland has been failure,
as President, and his name will
go down to posterity as man be-
ing possessed with monumental
stuborness and very little reason.
1t is regretted that Mr.. Birney
should have been sacrificed after
serving the President so well. 1t
only goes to show that men should
follow their real convictions, not
withstanding the wishes of their
superior officers. Cardinal Wolsey
was taught a lesson that all genera
tionS should not forget.
White men are like black men,
except the former will unite against
the latter and the latter will COM
bine against one another for the
benefit of white man.

MCKINLEY AND HOBART,
A LARGE DEMONSTRATION ON THEIR
ARRIVAL.

A LARGE DEMONSTRATION ON THEIR
ARRIVAL.
President Mckinley and Vice-Presi-
dent Hobart arrived in the city on
Tuesday, the former in the morning
and the latter in the afternoon.
President Mckinley was driven to
the Ebbitt House, where he had COM
modious apartments already engaged.
The Vice President went direct to the
Arlington Hotel.
In the evening President Cleveland
and wife rendered dinner to the new
President and wife. YRS. Mckinley
was unable to be present. Mrs. Cleve-
land, who has always been a favorite
in this city, and especially the people
of this country, sent beautiful basket
of flowers from the Executive Mansion
to Mrs. Mckinley.
The demonstration at the depot was
very large when Major Mckinley ar
rived. Around the Ebbit House thou
sands of people had assembled to take
a glimpse at the new Presidential
party.
The reception committee that met
Vice-President Hobart consisted of MIR.
5. w. Woodward, Mr.. H. E. Davis,
Hon w. w. Dudley and Gen. Butter
worth.
Both the President and Vice Presi-
dent had a number of callers. Major
Mckinley has to give instructions that
he could not be seen, only by such
persons with whom he had important
business.
