Electricity For the Monument.

The substitution of electricity for
steam as the motive power of the ele-
yator at the Washington monument,
which change was provided for by
congress at the last session, is being
attended with some delay. An appro-
priation of $26,500 was made for this
purpose, of which $4,000 was for a
| dynamo and connections, and 5000
was for building an addition to the
| boiler house at the monument. Bids
were invited and opened for the dyna-
mo and connections by Colonel Blng-
ham. the engineer officer in charge OF
public buildings and grounds. AS they
were all in excess Of the appropriation
they were rejected. New bids will be

be Of figure to permit Of the prose-
cution of the work.
A curious condition prevails in the
corps of naval constructors, where
there will be in July of 1901 only two
vacancies, now that the strength of the
corps is limited, for the three navai
| cadets under instruction in Europe pre-
| liminary to being commissioned as as
| sistant naval constructors. Two or
| the cadets, Bishott and Bailey, will be
appointed, of course, but it is doubtful
what will be done in the case of Glea-
son. He may have to be commissioned
an ensign and later transferred to the

Gen. Joseph H. Lewis, candidate for
Governor, and Hons. John r. Allen and
South Trimble, candidates for Congress,
addressed a large audience yesterday
afternoon at the Courthouse.
Gen. Lewis was introduced by Hon.
J. S. Smith, and made short speech,
making a favorable impression. Gen.
Lewis said he wanted to go on record as
favoring the repeal of the Goebel law.
Gen. Lewis is former Chief Justice of
aae Kentucky Court of Appeals, and is
chairman of the Goebel Reward Com
mission. He is the only living COM
mander of the famous Orphan
Brigade"
Mr. Trimble made a speech that was
heartily applauded by his followers.
Mr.. Allen made mastery address
which many said was the best Demo
cratic speech they had ever heard. He
asked several embarrassing questions
which Mr.. Trimble failed to answer
Mr.. Allen charged that Mr.. Trimble
used an L. & N. pass while making his
canvass for Speaker, and Mr.. Trimblt
acknowledged the corn.

A Graft For Louisville.

The knights Templar Conclave to be
held in Louisville next year will be a
great graft for the Falls City. The San
Francisco Commandery has $4,000 in
bank just to spend for fun, and one
commandery at Pittsburg has 5000
for the same purpose. There are 1875, 900
Knights in the United States and it is
estimated that the last oonclave at Pitts
burg was worth $1,5OO,OOO to the city,
and Boston got $2,5OO,OOO from one in
in that city. There will be 10000 visi-
tors in Louisville, including 10000
knights, and %, 900 uniformed men will
be in the parade. One Pittsburg COM
mander has leased all of Seelbach's
Hotel for conclave week, and has ordered
81, 900 worth of floral decorations. A
San Francisco Commandery is coming
ON a special train and will bring another
special loaded with fruit and wine.

Able Men Needed.

This is no time for Democrats who
have the good Of the party at heart to
stop to consider thequestion of reward
ing" some particular candidate for some
particular service to the party The
Seventh Congressional District has al
ways been ably represented in Congress.
It is the duty of the Democratic party
to send the very best possible man to
represent the District in the councils of
the Nation. The Ashland Congressman
have always been the equal of any who
sat in Congress, able to cope with the
ablest Representatives on questions of
great importance. Is this time-when
so many important questions of war, of
finance, of revenues, of imperialism
confront us-to lower the standard of
excellence?
1t is the duty of the Democrats to
select the best man qualified in intellect,
In craftsmanship, in oratory, and in Gull
ture, to represent them at the National
Capital. John R. Allen, a staunch
Democrat, eminently capable of filling
the honorable position, is conceded even
by his opponents to be the most able
candidate for the Democratic nomina
ton.
Friends of Mr.. Allen should not fail
to attend theprecinct conventions Friday
afternoon at two o'clock at your voting

that strange man with horse and

or three hours. The continued absence
