We think that the members Of
different Boards in our CITY had
better cut down the amount of
money needed to make improve
mcnts in our city and county. The
various projects contemplated Will
amount to nearly million dollars
To add such Il sum to our indebted
ness will prove serious burden on
the tax payers. We are in favor
Of Improvements of all kinds. but
at the same time thcre is such a
thing as moderation. When prop

1t will be wise to pare down appro-
priatlons, do less paving, less at

WE hope Repu ohcan harmony is
now assured. The satisfactory
organization of the Legislature
gives promise OF the success of the
Republican party at coming cleo
tons. The Democrats appear to
think that the State may lose some
thing in honor and standing by
election OF candidates TO the U. S.
Senate, but that fear arises from
the fact that the Democrats are
ruled out. The State has survived
the orgies OF drunkenness and the
tricks Of gamblers in the past, and
1t is not likely that it cannot stand
any excess likely to be enacted by
any man that the Republicans will
elect to the position of Senator. A
greater display OF hypocrisy was
never made in any State by SOCIAL.
ed Democrats and ii they cannot
understand that they are being
laughed at by majority of the
people. they must be very dull OF
comprehension. Their concern is
a pretense, a Democratic trick,
which has failed in its purpose and
the hypocrites should hide their
heads IN shame. The bogy has
lost its influence and the Republi.
cans can go ahead aud perform
their duty and dare these ghost
seers to do their worst.

TUESDAY. JANUARY .. 1901.

THE Democrats were fooled IN
their attempt 10 capture the organ-
ization of the two houses at Dover.
All the Democratic politicians were
on hand with an eye to securing al
least the votes of five Republicans.
At one time 1t looked as it they
were going to be successful and
prevent the Rep olicans from organ
ring both branches OF the Leyisla-
ture, as numerous conferences were
held before any satisfactory con.
clusion was reached. The poli.i.
cans OF both parties were running
around Hotel Richardson like chick
ems with their heads oil, aud nobody
appeared to know what effort was
made to get the Republicans into a
caucus or even a conference. After
considerable wrangling among the
Republican members and the per-
suaslon OF Governor John Hum, the
five Republican members who had
held out for what they considered
right IN organizing the two houses.
at IL. 81 o clock this morning finally
conceded that they would be will
ing to organize the House, giving
the same privilege to the Union Re-
publlcans to organize the Senate,
one-half the officers of both bodies
to be half Regular and half Union
Republicans. Such Democratic
politicians as Willard salisbury,
John G. Gray. Patrick Neary aud
Senator II. Il. Kenrey, were doing
all in their power to cause breach
in the Republican ranks and IN
TACT, had counted on the help of at
least five Republicans to carry ont
their scheme. But luckily it was
nipped in the bud, through the ell
iorts OF Gov. HUM and others. Now
that the Legislature is organized,
1t looks as if even bigger fight
would be on when the two Senators
are balloted for.

TENDERED A FAREWELL.
Friends of Rev. E. d. Bailey to Bid
Him Goodbye.

Friends of Rev. E. ID. Bailey to Bid
Him Goodbye.
A farewell meeting in honor of Rev. and
Mrs. E. D. Bailey Of this city will be held
Sunday evening next at Metropolitan M.
E. Church, AZ and c streets northwest
The Brooklyn, n. Y, City Mission So
ciety has extended an invitation to Mr..
Bailey to take the supervision of its re-
ligious work, and he has accepted. He and
his famiy will, therefore, remove to Brook
lyn October 1, where they will reside here
after. A union farewell service will, as
stated, be given them. Mr.. B. H. Warner
will preside and addresses will be made by
Rev. Teunis S. Hamlin, d. D., Rev Geo.
n. Luccock, d. D., Rev DIR. Chapman and
others.
Mr. Bailey has resided In this city for
the past eighteen years and is well known
because of his connection with the civil
service commission and on account of the
conspicuous part he has taken in the evan
gelistic work of the city. For the past two
years his energies have been mainly de-
voted to the work of the Peoples Mission,
a report of which will be presented at the
farewell service next Sunday night The
report will show that this mission has had
great success. Its receipts have aggre-
gated about $500. 1t has maintained a
central station on Pennsylvania avenue be-
tween 9th and 10th streets, at the former
location of the Independent Ice Company
The congregations at this point under the
leadership of MeSSrs. Bailey and Havell,
have outgrown the seating capacity of the
hall. 1t is estimated that more people were
turned away last Sunday night for want of
room than gained an entrance.
The executive committee of the Peoples
Mission is composed of Mr.. B. H Warner
president; Mr.. Matthew G.. Emery, vice
president; Dr. p. c. Cladin and w. G. Orr.
Besides the central hall, a branch has
been maintained under the name of Gospel
Hall, located at the corner of 11th and T
streets southwest. The attendance at this
branch also has outgrown its accommoda-
has been carried on among the river men
gospel herdic meetings have been held Sun
day evenings near the city post Office on
Pennsylvania avenue.
1t is understood that Mr.. Bailey will take
occasion in his farewell address next Sum
day night to review his work in this city,
including his experience in the civil service
commission. 1t is understood also that
he will give some account of his connection
with the gospel wagon movement which
originated In this city and spread rapidly
to almost every city in this country and
has extended to other countries, One So
ciety in London is said to have built eight
gospel wagons for use in that city Mr..
Bailey was the originator Of the gospel
wagon. Mr.. Bailey was also one of the
founders of the Central Union Mission in
this city, which was patterned after by
missions in other cities, and took rank
among the most effective agencies for
reaching the non-churchgoing masses
The Peoples Mission has decided to con-
tinue its work in this city along the lines
