new foundation of the mansion and the
restoration of the greenhouse and SER
wants quarters have been regarded as
the most important work of the past
veal at Mt. Vernon. Among the plans
to be carried out is the repainting of
the entire mansion. The spacious hall
way, which is finished in an old design
of wall papering of a deep brown. is
also to be done over as in the time of
Washington. The walls will be tinted
yellow, with white trimmings, and the
colonial colors will be accurately car.
ried out.
One of the most valuable gifts receiv
ed during the regents council just
closed is the magnificent rug presented
by Mrs. Harrison Whelan, of Philadel-
phia. The carpet was the gift of Louis
WI to General Washington, and now,
after a lapse of q century or more,
adorns the floor of the banquetting
hall. In the centre is a striking design
Of the American coat of arms; the back
ground of the carpet is a rich leaf
green, studded with seventeen gold
stars. A handsome border completes
the finish.
Another relic received was a sand
box. General Washington used this
to sift sand upon his letters and docu-
ments to dry the ink. The gift was
from Marcus Clifford Martin, whose
grandfather, William Baker, was one
of the Minute Men at Concord and to
whom the relic had belonged.
The State reports presented to the
regents show that a great amount of
effective work has been accomplished
during the year.

FRIDAY EVENING, MAY Ia, 1897.

THE boilers in New York, like those
in Virginia, are now demanding that
the chief plank in the democratic plat
forms of last, shall be omitted In
those of this, year, with the threat that
unless that demand be granted, they
will bolt again. Why, certainly! A
bolter can never be relied upon. He
will always bolt whenever everything
does not exactly agree with his own
ideas. Of one thing the democratic
leaders should be forewarned, and 1t Is
hat the men whose votes give the
democratic party strength are becom-
ing very tired of boilers and mug
wumps, and of those who set up their
" opinions above those of State and
national democratic conventions, and
that concession to the demands of such
men, instead of adding strength to their
party, will drive away from it many
who have heretofore been among its
tirmest supporters. Then, too, they
ought to know that no party can rea'
sonably expect success, or that deserves
it, unless it enforces discipline In its
ranks. And besides, they should never
forget that but for the boilers, victory,
with all its accruing benefits, would have
perched upon their banners last fall.
