March is the most dangerous

Declaration of Principles.

T. It C. Newsonle colored chairman of
the committee on platform then presented
resolutions which embodied the principles
on which the Simmons Chase fight will be
made The resolutions, which were adopt
ed declared that sit is with much reluct-
ance that we are again forced to call the
attention of the administration to the giar-
ing discrimination in our local government
against republicans who have been and are
true to the principles OF the republican
party, and. while we believe in the funda-
mental principles OF the party, we condemn
the inactivity of the party and party lead
ers in the Congress of the United States in
permitting without protest the wholesale
disfranchisement of republican voters in
states which are controlled by the demo-
cratic party
The resolutions also urged upon Congress
the necessity of establishing home rule for
the District and the elective franchise for
it's citizens.
Support of the delegates and alternates
presented for election to the republican
national convention is pledged.
The candidates were instructed to use
their good offices to have inserted in the
republican national platform qualified suf-
frage in the District of Columbia, permit
ting delegate in Congress.
The election by popular vote of school
superintendent, judges of the courts SUPER
intendent of police, tax collector assessor
and all Offices that have supervision over
the people is favored.
Continued faith in and fealty to the poli-
cies and principles of the republican party
was declared

the regret of the meeting that Mr. Myron
NJ Parker who has made his legal resi-
dence in Maine and is no longer eligible to
represent the District of Columbia on the
national republican committee would not
again serve, as he has done for eight years
The resolution expressed the deep appre-
ciation' of the assembled republicans for
''the eight years of faithful, useful digni-
fled and self-sacrifcing services of Mr.
Parker as a member of the national com
mittee.
No other candidate for the position of

Why the President smiles.


BY the way, a lady Of the official
circle claims she has made a discov-
cry as to the origin of one of the pres
ident's best known traits. 1t is the
habit of keeping a smile or the sem
blance of a smile on his face on all &C.
casions. eff you ever saw the presi-
dent when he was forced to Danish
his SMILE" this lady confided to a
friend the other day, "you would un-
derstand why it is he has acquired the
habit of wearing it on all possible &C.
casions. I never saw him without it
until the other day at Mrs. Hoar's fu-
neral, and I give you my word I don't
want to see him without 1t again. No
one would call his face handsome or
attractive, wen when he looks his best
and smiles his %genialest. But when
his face is in absolute repose and not
only serious, but solemn = well, it's
enough to startle a timid person. It's
the most solemn human countenance
you ever saw. He probably found
that out long ago, and that's why he
wears the smile that doesn't come off.
He is entitled to wear it."-Washing-
ton Letter to Pittsburg Post.

Il CITY OF LIGHT.
Philadelphia Claims to BE Brightest
Town at Night.

= NA&bAAAh ~ 0C AOAA8
Town Mt Night.
Philadelphia now claims to be 1.-The
best lighted city in the United States"
It is led to make this claim after hav.
ing erected 500 new electric street
lights and rs a result of comparison
with the number of street lights main
tanned by other cities.
The Quaker City now maintains
nearly 10000 lights, or, to be exact,
9,977. Chicago, covering a much larger
area, now operates 1881 arc lamps
from it's municipal plants and rents
Cos more arc lamps, which are oper-
ated by private companies, making a
total Of 1886 electric street lights. In
addition to these lights, however, Chi
cago has $4,000 gas lamps and 5000
gasoline lamps. In the absence of fg-
ures regarding Philadelphia's gas lamps
it is not possible to make comparisons
as to total lights Of all kinds. In the
matter Of arc lamps, however, 1t is evil
dent that Philadelphia is away ahead
Of Chicago.
The history Of street lighting in Phil
adelphia is interesting because it is a
history Of the development of the arc
light. When Brush of Cleveland in
vented the arc light, as every one
knows, he hadlsa hard time convincing
city authorities Of it's practicability. 1t
was ridiculed by inventors and electri-
clans and it's failure predicted. After
many unsuccessful efforts to secure it's
adoption in Philadelphia a local com,
pany offered to light Chestnut street
with the arc lights for a year for moth
ing. The offer was accepted in a city
ordinance passed by the Philadelphia
council on June 20, 1881, and the dark
and gloomy thoroughfare was convert
ed into a brilliantly lighted promenade.
This marked the beginning of a very
wide and rapid extension of the arc
lighting system not only in Philadel-
phia, but all over the Union. In Phil
adelphia, it is claimed, the increase of
lights has caused a great decrease in
crime, burglary and thievery being
very rare. 1t has also effected a great
change in house architecture, the old
fashioned outside shutters being
done away with and ornamented glass
panels being placed in front DOORS

LOSSES ARE LIGHT.
Not Many Dead Sheep on Eastern
Montana Range.

Bert Shorey returned yesterday
morning from a trip to the eastern
part of the state, to look after his
interests there. Contrary to report,
he says, the losses of sheep on the
range will not aggregate the great
number that rumors have led many
to believe. 1t is true that sheep are
thin, decidedly so, but up to- the pres
ent not very many have succumbed.
While he has no personal knowledge
concerning the matter, he was told
of a man who had lost 1900 head out
Of a flock of 5000. This was the only
really heavy individual loss of which
he learned. ,"#
and in many places the range is bare,
permitting sheep to reach the grass.
The storm that prevailed here last
| Wednesday did not extend very far
east, having exhausted itself before
| Miles City was reached. At the latter
place a flood covered a large part of
the city Wednesday night.
The ice in Tongue river began to
move last Tuesday afternoon and the
usual rush of water followed. During
the night a gorge formed north of
town and the impounded waters be-
gan to back up until they left the
banks and the fiat on the south side
of the railroad tracks was inundated
when MI. Shorey passed through. AS
the water was still rising fears were
expressed that considerable damage
might be done, particularly in the
lower parts of the city.
In the Yellowstone the ice still re.
NAMED intact, which accounted for the
gorge in the Tongue.
