WASHINGTON DEMOCRATS.
Are Struggling With the Question of
 Prohibition.

Spokane May 1S.-At 10 o'clock tonight the democrat convention had made little progress on the adoption of a platform. while the selection Of the national delegation is far off. .
 The liquor plank is still the center of a bitter fight. The majority re- port of the committee on resolutions advises an amendment to the state constitution prohibiting the manufac- ture or sale of liquors within the borders of the state. An all night session seems in prospect.

 BUSINESS HOUSE WILL MOVE The Francis Cloak and Suit house will move about the first of July from its present quarters on the cor .ner of Second and Washington streets, to the opposite corner north, formerly occupied by the Boston store. The storeroom is now occupied by J. B. Longs hardware business, as well as the adjoining storeToom. MT. Long will retain the adjoining store room and also a part of the other storeroom, giving him an opening on Second street as well. He has re- tired or is fast doing SO, from that bEinch of the business including Ve- hicles or large heavy hardware and is confining himself more particularly to shelf goods so he will require less room. The Francis store by the change will secure a better window frontage for display and be on the shady side of the street, which fea- lures are important and win make the store more attractive than its present location.

 COUNCIL MEETING.-The city council held last night what might be, called with prejudice a "conversation- al" session. There was a very extend eti and. deliberate conference over one or two. matters notably the ordinance fixing the rates for irrigation water. but at the end of it it was thought that still more light might be had by further inquiry SD the subject was re- ferred back to the committee again for report at tbe next meeting which Trill be held a week from "Wednesday night Several other questions, tax levy. etc. were discussed informally and deferred. one thing that was done was to grant the DeMund Lum- ber company's petition for the privi- lege of moving its wagon scales from Fourth avenue and Madison street to Third avenue and Jackson street.

THE MERCER MONUMENT

The dedication OF that splendid
monument erected to the memory OF
Gen. Hugh Mercer by the Federal
Governments has not yet been dedi-
Gated. Some, who for some reason
seem not to want it dedicated with
imposing ceremonies, now say it is
too late; that the monument has
been completed too long to have
any dedicatory ceremonies. We are
informed that in one or more in
stances these ceremonies have been
held where the monuments had been
completed for a longer time than the
Mercer monument. Gen. Mercer, the
hero OF the battle OF Princeton, the
turning point OF the Revolution,
was the most prominent and illus
trious citizen OF the town OF that
time, II not since. The life reads
like romance his memory should
b. honored by giving to this monu-
ment some public ceremonies. The
monument was erected by the United
States. We have only accepted it.
Now let the committee having
charge arrange for these services.
The public looks for 1t. We do not
believe that anywhere was such a
monument ever erected without hav.
ing some public demonstration. Dc
not let our town even appear to lack
In patriotism.

r.. F. & P. r. r.

We are glad to note that Speaker
Byrd has reconsidered his PROPOSE
tion TO require the R., F. & p. Rail-
road TO comply with an ancient and
obsolete provision OF its charter,
namely, to sake up and let of pas
sengsrr at any point along its line,
in order to force that company to
apply for a new charter, and thus
render all its property taxable.
1t is highly probable that the r., F.
4 p. Railroad ought not to enjoy ex-
emption from taxation, when all
other railroads in the state are re-
quired to pay taxes. but We are OPP
posed to the method proposed by
speaker OF the House for accomplish
ing this end. Mr.. Byrd was brood
enough to see the error OF his way,
and frank enough to admit is and
correct it. The two bills which Mr..
Byrd has substituted for his former
measure, while they viii deprive the
road ofsome ofits special exemptions
and privileges, will not in the least
impair its interests, and willno doubt
bring about. with the cooperation
OF the railroad officials, what was
sought to be accomplished by indi-
rection. We do not believe the yir-
ginia people are clamoring for any
harsh or radical legislation so far as
corporations are concerned. All that
they are seeking in our judgment is
that they be put upon thesame foot
ing as individuals.
The railroad officials, it Is stated,
viii apply for n new charter. They
should be given q reasonable time
In which to secure a proper charter,
and when that has been done the
object aimed at WILDE accomplished.
