It is all right for the democrats to hold meetings and refresh the public mind regarding the doings of the pres ent city government, but they will have to do more than that II they want to dislodge the enemy and elect men who will feel that they owe a duty to the entire community. While the democrats are gathered in session discussing ways and means. the other fellows are securing the town looking up new voters and endeavoring to talk people into sticking by their colors, and also seeking converts from the ranks of the opposition. It would be well to bear in mind that Thursday, September 14, is the last day for mak- ing applications to be made voters, and that there will be but one day for making voters this fall, Saturday. September 23. from 3 o'clock in the forenoon until 9 in the evening. There are several young men about town who will be eligible to be made by that time, but many of them will ne glect to come unless somebody gets after them. The republicans are working this thing for all it Is worth and democrats should be up and doing. too. This Is the kind of electioneering that pays. Electors whose names are now on the lists will not need much coaching this time. for nearly every elector you meet claims that he has had all he wants of local republican, rule for the present. The democrats should go out and have talk with the young men.

POLITICAL POINTERS.
". !. Larkin Slated for Chairman of
 Board of Aldermen.

Republicans of the second ward say that the machine ticket will contain the names of w. J. Larkin, c. L.. Holmes and Frank B. Buck for alder men, if they care to run. The two first mentioned are already members of the board and MT Larkin is com missioner of the board of education
 It Is understood that in case any of these gentlemen should change his mind, F. E. Stanley will be asked to fill the vacancy. The intention is to have MT Larkin chosen member of the board and then make him it's chairman. Henry E. Carter and oth- CTS will have to be reckoned with be- fore Mir Larkin gets there and his friends claim that some folks will be surprised at the strength of the Car ter forces when the time to step into the arena comes around. Although you can get wagers to-day that the Larkin ticket will win out. It will be interesting to watch how the party will use Fred Stanley. He is one of the best men the republicans ever sent into that chamber but he can't brook the thought of being led around by the nose and shows signs if insu-' bordination at the snap of the party whip, and this has prompted the management to look upon his reten- tion in power as somewhat risky. The several candidates mentioned are all good men but some of them take the rod with better grace than others and the grand advisers want to select the most dutiful ones in the bunch.

Democrats of the fifth ward held \ meeting at headquarters in the Platt block last night and organized. with James F.. Harrington president ana John Griffin secretary. The officers and Thomas 0'Gorman were chosen as e press committee. While no definite action was taken relative to mayoralty candidates. enough leaked out to show that the meeting favored the nomina- ton of Mir Thoms. Several addresses were made in the course of which at tention was called to the fact that precious little of the public funds went into the democratic wards during the past two years, and was felt by repub- lIcans as well as democrats. No atten- ton has been paid to the need of pro viding school accommodation. nothing done towards relieving the conditions that exist relative to fire. scarcely any of the s6.00O appropriated for repair ing sidewalks used in these districts. no crosswalks laid. no gutters clean.sL the macadam road on Baldwin street allowed to crumble to pieces and Is come public nuisance. The fourth snd fifth wards pay more taxes than sII the other districts combined. and the electors feel they are entitled io S fair distribution of the funds. They claim their taxes are being pushed ID right along and charge that the money raised is being illegally expended in the outside districts of other paris of the city. and think it time to call halt. This discrimination Is having a had influence as far east as Mill Plain. south clear down tO the town Isoandsry snd west clear into the remote sections of Town Plot. Another session wiE i,e held next Thursday night at which 2 little more will lla said with refer ence to the methods of the so-caIIesi business administration

A number of admirers of Dr John f. Hayes want him to enter tje race for nomination as member of the de- partment of education and 1t is undel
 stood that the doctor. who has had considerable experience in connection with the educatio institutions or the city, has consented to make the run. He is something of sprinter and anybody who tries conclusions with him will find that out It is also understood that Mir Phelan is a candi- date for reelection and it is safe to predict that his efforts on behalf o' the people in the question of pensions and life berths, which the republican members of the general assembly from this city tried hard to force through. will insure him place on the ticket and an election by big majority. Some of the republicans want E. O. Goss to accept nomination for mem- her of that board. but 1t Is understood that he Is not willing to have anything to do with 1t. It is also rumored that inasmuch as Mayor Elton does not in- tend to be a candidate for reelection as mayor he may be prevailed upon. to accept place on the board of educa ton, but whether he will or not no body seems to know. An enthusiastic third ward republican said this after noon that he wanted to see John r Elton, D. O. Goss. NJ. J. Byrne and o. & Chapman, the candidates of the re publican party for members of the board of education. The name of H. l.. Wade has also been mentioned r' connection with the school board.

 The revolver with which the assassin
 was armed was an automatic magazine

 employed by Hohenthal. the assassin of Socialon Soininen, the Procurator Gen eral of Finland, at Helsingsfors. on
 February 6. His injuries are not se- rious. The Grand Dukes coachman, who was badly injured. was removed to a hospital. Late last night he was
 still living.
 The news of the tragedy spread rap idly to every quarter of the city, aided by extra editions of all the newspapers, which appeared with deep black bor- ders. The police measures to preserve or der have proved effective up to this hour and the city is reported perfectly quiet
 Early accounts of the tragedy att tributed the crime to three men In < sIeign, but later it was developed that the three men were police agents ap- pointed guard the grand duke. Shortly after the murder Grand Duchess Elizabeth, the two adopted children of Graud Duke Sergius. has staff officials and immediate servants assembled in the chapel, where soI-

 When the acts was passed which established this hall of fame, men were winning the right to place here upon the field of battle, at the head Of crushing squadrons of cavalry. or df- recting the movement of long lines of Infantry amid the roar of cannon and all the din of war But the real bat tie which made this a nation one and indivisable, was fought and won after the surrender of Appomattox.

 Tn view of the interesting senti- ments lately 6ivulged by the President of the United States respecting the methods of obtaining income employed by the great railway systems Of the country, Washington has lately seen many of the distinguished masters of interstate commerce. drawn here to talk to the two committees of Con areSs have Jurisdiction on the sub feet. The House Committee has had its innings, has passed the Esch-Town- send compromise on the Hepburn bill, and pasted 1t finally with as great a preponderance of Democratic as of Republican votes.
 Now the railway rate situation Is shifted to the Senate, and the pressure of hearings will be even greater there than, in the Senate, considering the limited time to the end of the session.
 Samuel Spencer, head of the South. ern, has already. speaking for his own system. been acknowledged as having adeuuately represented the railway in- terests of the South and Q large part of the country. His presentation of the subject from the railway standpoint has been more generally commended than that of any railroad man who has talked to a committee of Congress. There will be other railroad men here ts. appear before the Senate Committee ere the expiration of the Fifty-eighth Congress. among them Stuyvesant Fish of the Illinois Central and Milton H smith of the Louisville and Nashville
 Representative Townsend is reported as saving that unless the Senate ac- cents the Esch-Townsend bill the Pres ident will call an extra session of the Senate in the spring.

 Mr. Cullom, in reviewing Miss Will lard's career as a temperance leader. said he was proud to say that he had been personally acquainted with Miss Willard during the greatest part of her active life. He said Miss Willard had brought sobriety into the homes of un- told thousands; that the world was bet- ter because she lived and he congratu- lated the State on the selection of the woman for the national hall of fame, the first of her sex in long list of distinguished people to find a place there.
 At the close of the ceremony at 4:32 D. m. the Senate as a further mark of respect to Miss Willard's memory, ad- journed until II o'clock tomorrow.

MANN BILL NOT FINAL

Isthmian Canal Commission Has Pow- erful Friends in Upper Branch of Congress Besides Nor

 Washington, Feb. r.
 The Mann bill abolishing the Isth- milan Canal Commission. which passed the House yesterday, is not finaiity. for the Senate, through its best in- formed members. does not a little like the measure. Not only does Senator Morgan. who has laid his own predi- lections on the altar of sanrifloe for the general desire for an Isthmian Ca- nal. deprecate the disruption of the Commission as the law recently enacted provided for 1t. but the Commission as 1t is has powerful friends in the Senate, notably Senator Allison brother-in- law of Admiral Walker, who is dIs- tingnished for his ignorance ofsthe de- tails of the proposed stupendous tack and equally noted for hls blind adher- encs to tta uiflhsate acooasp pfiBhmefste some how and some way.
 Senator German. the Democratic leader in the Senate. is likewise ad- verse to the proposition. There are other keen witted souls of the Senate who think the administration would better not swap horses crossing this stream. The Senate has much to do to keep from doing much for the man. ifest burden wearing the shoulders of Republican solons in the Senate. The administration will learn that ere the ides of March or all signs are as boot less as ever was any bunko business.
 Senator Morgan's amendment today against appointments to the Conmis- sion during a recess of Congress Is looked upon in some sensitive quarters as thrust at President Roosevelt, but there are others who think that the President ought to consult the Senate in matters SD vitnlly concerned with our foreign relations or at least look at 1t in the light of the constitution. An appointment made during a recess might be of some favorite wholly un- known to the Senate

PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
Friends of Measure Are Dismayed at
 Prospect.

Prospect
 Washington. Feb. 17.-(Speciall- l--- The public buildings bill looks as If it is doomed. Speaker Cannon has been particularly antagonistic to the meas ure and has, 1t Is reported, even said that another Speaker would have to be chosen before the bill should pass. Yet it Is said that a large majority of the members are anxious for the pas- sage of the bill. and are ready to sup- port Chairman Gillett, of the Public Buildings Committee, whenever he can summon the courage to make the fight.
 The Rules Committee will make no provision for the consideration of the bill Its only chance is to be voted for after a fight in the open House. Mir. Gillett does not seem to have any appetite for blood and therefore the friends of the public building projects are either dismayed or hopeless.
