ed to the oratory of Webster, Clay,
Adams, Calhoun and other giants OF
the republic, it was generally conced-
ed to be the most beautiful legislative
hall in the world. AS time went on,
however, and repairs became neces-
sary, motives of economy or misguid-
ed judgment, caused some Improve
ments' to be made that did not justi-
fly the name. To undo some of this
work is the object of the present task
for which congress at it's last session
provided funds.
Accordingly, for weeks past the

been boxed up and the big apartment

Here also are stately pillars-a colon

coats of paint applied during a long
succession of years.
But the restoration of the meeting
place of the house Of representatives
during a most important period of the
nations history will not end with the
restoration of the pristine glory of the
semlclrcular walls. Two of the old
stalrways which led from the legisla-
tive hall to what was formerly the
mems gallery and the women's gallery
have been ~rediscovered and opened.
and the mems gallery will be restored
to the original condition which char

The reelection of A. 81. Boy
den as mayor of Salisbury, for
the fourth time was consumated
by a very poorly attended cleo
ton held here last week. This
Characterization of confidence"
was made possible by the stay-at-
homes and the whiskey rings
money and whiskey. We believe
there is not a half dozen intelli-
gent men in Salisbury who do not
admit Mr.. Boyden's unftness for
the position, yet some good peo-
pie allowed themselves to be ca
joled land Joined to the cor
rupt element and whiskey dealers
and manufacturers in sufficient
numbers to place him in office q
fourth time. However, it is some
satisfaction, even with his claim
of 1870 majority, to know that his
political sun is surely setting IN
this community, but by throwing
out the illegal votes and Repub-
licans who ought not to have been
allowed to vote in the primary,
his majority does not reach much
over 25 OF 80 votes, the certainty
of his defeat and his followers in
the future is patent to all.
While he secured the noml-
nation and has again been g.
leeted, that "manifestation of
confidence becomes somewhat OF
a dream. OF course there are
some self-interested, jealous or
ignorant people who will remain
on the decks of Boyden's sinking
craft only to 60 down with it, and
the going down part of it is the
major portion of it's activities
Just now. Those who have been
on deck anu now abide there IN
blissful ignorance, are known,
will be remembered, and are well
