does the west begin? Heretofore. in
the making of some of the presidential
tickets, Ohio and Indiana and Illinois
have figured as western states. The
nomination of Hayes called for an
eastern man for second place, and he
was found in Wheeler of New York.
Then followed GARFIELD and Harrison
and Mckinley, all considered western
men, and all had eastern running
mates. The democrats considered
that they had gone west when in 1868
and 1872 they drew upon Missouri for
Blair and Gratz Brown; when in 1876,
in 1880 and in 1884 they drew upon
Indiana for Hendricks and English:
when in 1888 and 1892 they drew up
on Ohio for Thurman and Illinois for
Stevenson. Does that old line still
hold good? Does the west, POLITICAL
ly described, begin at the western
slope of the Allegheny mountains?
If that is the line, then the west
should prepare to canvass for the
right man. Nearly every state on this
side of the line has fhvorite son anx-
ious for the honor iii question, and
some have two. There really is good
deal of excellent material to choose
from. But who is the chief among
the ten thousand and the one alto.
gether lovely? The question of To-
cality is as good as settled. The
vests claims are easily paramount.

Chicago Chronicle, DEM: The popu-
list leaders who have been making an
effort to reunite the various factions of
the party at conference in Denver
have issued preliminary statement
of principles in which freas silver, the
initiative and referendum and public
ownership are made very conspicuous.
In the preamble to their confession
of faith they declare that as "experi-
ence has demonstrated the futility of
any attempt to secure the enactment of
these principles through the republican
or democratic parties" they will oppose
hereafter any utilization with either of
those parties in national political ac-
ton.
This is ungratful to say the least of
it. The democrats have been carrying
the free silver banner for eight years;
the republicans of Illinois have indors-
ed public ownership: Carter Harrison,
democrat, and Graeme Stewart, repub-
lican, of Chicago, have swallowed the
initiative and referendum and the dem.
ocrats of New York, led by David B.
Hill, have embraced national owner
ship of coal mines. d.
What more do the populists demand
Of the brethren?

THE RUSSIAN SPRING.
May Pastimes in Moscow-"AlP' st.
Petersburg Moves Southwark.

From the London Globe.
To write about a Russian spring is to run
the risk of making some of the aboriginal
inhabitants turn in their graves with
astonishment. For in former times 1t was
reckoned in that country that there were
only three seasOns-summer, autumn and
winter: Nevertheless, squeezed in between
the last Of these and the month Of May
there is period which for want of a better
name may be designated spring. 1t is not
however. very easy, even for an experienced
observer Of nature to say when 1t begins
and when 1t ends. For first there Is much
snow bitter wind and glorious sunshine,
then less snow and ever the same sunshine,
till finally only few fragments of winters
mantle lie here and there half hidden in
hollows that face to the north. On the
banks of the Neva the citizens of st.
Petersburg gather annually to watch the
breaking up of the ice, but on the great
rivers that flow southwark it often happens
that this process is accompanied by moth
ing noteworthy; channel forms up the
middle of the stream and the ice floats
down 1t with more or less hindrance toward
the sea. The rock, the lark, the swallow
return. and, according to Russian saying,
bring back the heat; willows display their
sllken buds: the sportsman comes with his
gun to visit the wild duck among the reeds
and high alOft hundreds of geese may be
tundra.
Perhaps it is for the change produced by
the melting Of the snow and the breaking
up of the Ice that Easter Is celebrated with
such transport by the Russian people. There
Is fullness of pleasure that 1t Is not diff
fcult to understand in seeing once again
after so many months the flowing river, the
green plain, the forests of birch or pine
stripped of their robe of snow. On the 1st
OF May the inhabitants of Moscow go to the
woods and bring back from them shoots of
the fresh green, like the dove released from
the ark after the deluge. Even the dis
carding of furs seems to suggest new era
of untrammeled freedom and activity. But
goloshes must be worn to the bitter end for
the amount Of mud Is extraordinary.
Though the snow may have vanished,
though 1T may not have rained for weeks,
though the sun shines magnificent day after
day in cloudless heaven, the mud con-
tfnues to increase. 1t oozes, of course,
from the unfreeZing earth, and renders
roads impossible to carriages for a time
that seems incredible.

LOCAL BENEVOLENCE.
Royal Arcanum Association Provides
for Hospital Care of Members,

At a meeting of the representatives of
the several local councils of the Royal Ar
canum, held last evening at 1907 G street
northwest, the Hospital Bed Fund Associa-
ton of the order was perfected. AS its
name implies, the association Is benevolent
in character and aims to provide hospital
treatment for sick or disabled members of
the councils who do not possess the neces-
sary funds to procure proper treatment
when i'll or incapacitated.
Immediately after organization a consti-
tuition and set of bylaws for the gov
eminent of the body was adopted, and Off
GERS were elected as follows: President w.
H. Brigham; vice president, John L. Beat
tie; secretary. John j. Hefferman; treas
urer, Moses Cohen: trustees, Charles J.
James c. L. Grouse, William s. Riley, w.
c. Miller. William Mckenzie, w. w. Moore,
j. c. Littlepage and NJ A. Tolson. The
association, it is understood, is to be main
tanned by subscriptions and the proceeds of
entertainments.
The first step to carry out the objects of
the association has already been made in
that Major Sylvester, of the metropolitan
police department, has been requested to
have the policemen see that any member
of the order. who may be found sick or in
jured in the street. receive proper treat
ment. Arrangements have been made with
the Sibley, Homeopathic, Garfield, Provi-
dence and the Columbian University Hos

Evidences of Public Esteem.
HIT HIM WITH A BRICK.
But Matthews Said Savoy Had Threat
ened Him.

Bicycle Policeman Cullinane visited South
Washington yesterday afternoon on bust
ness connected with the fifth precinct, and
while near the corner of Sd and F streets
he saw Thomas Savoy, cOlored seated on
the curbstone with blood streaming from
his head. To the officer he said that
colored man by the name Of Joseph Mat
thews, employed on the new sewer under
course of construction on New Jersey ave-
nue. southeast. had struck him on the head
with brick few minutes before. Savoy
was so weak from the loss of blood that he
was unable to stand, and the ambulance
from the Emergency Hospital was sum-
moned. Before it's arrival he became I'M
conscious and remained In that state some
time after reaching the hospital. The
physicians found 1t necessary to take sew
eral stitches in the wound on the side of
his head, and he remained at the hospital
over night.
After sending the injured man to the hos
pital Cullinane started out In search of
Matthews. but he had left his work on the
sewer soon after the trouble occurred. Sew
eral places were visited before he was APP
pretended in a house in the southeastern
section of the city, enjoying a can of beer
with a female friend He was placed under
arrest and escorted to the fifth precinct
police station, where he remained until sent
to court this morning. Savoy, who recov-
cred sufficiently to leave the hospital this
morning told Judge Scott, after Matthews
had been arraigned on charge of assault,
that he loaned the latter % cents several
days ago and asking for it's return
when Matthews struck him with a brick.
What did you do to him to cause him to-
throw a brick at your" the court asked
Savoy.
81 told him that II he did not pay me I
would knock his top off, but l was only
playing" he replied
Yes, and he came very near knocking
your top Off" Prosecuting Attorney Null
lowry suggested.
Your honor" Matthews said to the court
when called on to tell his side of the trou-
bic, "he asked me for the money and told
him would pay him when got it,
What them" Judge Scott inquired.
He threatened to knock my top off and
then run at me with knife. and l just
picked up piece of brick and let him have
it."
A colored man who said that he saw the
difficulty between the two men corroborat-
ed Matthews by saying that Savoy had
knife and made threats against the de-
PENDANT.
The court decided that the case was not
one calling for severe punishment and only
imposed fine of $40. in default of which
Matthews will be deprived of his liberty for
two months.
