PAINTING WASHINGTON RED. Wasutnaton has never celebrated the carnival quite so extensively or so consist- as some of our other cities - New Orleans for example; Washington is the seat of government and ought to be staid and decorous, Washington, with all the display of military and civil pomp it has seen in its time, has never been painted thoroughly red. Well, it is to have that experience too. Early March of the current year will see the artist at work. Ile has his colors mixed already; the very best quality of Democratic vermillion, with a dash of § picked ont with Confedera be a gaudy display ecession crimson, let. It will Staid old Washington will hardly know itself. It will be painted redder than c’er a cattle station on the staked plains. And will Washington be improved by a coat of color? Well, that is open to ques- tion. Some people object to red applied to a town, particularly the Democratic shade. It sticks longer and is apt to show some ugly tints with time. For better or worse, how- ever, Washington has got to stand it. They say that already every hotel in Washington has all its rooms retained for March fourth and Cleveland’s inauguration. Whether anyone has already engaged rooms whence to witness the march forth of the same gentleman from Washington four years later, does not appear; but the inauguration is enough for the moment. Sooth to say, it A unique spectacle and one worth going some d A Demoe president is not inaugurated at Washington every day, or every four years for that mat- ter. eneration seems to be as much of that luxury as the country can stand. So we, who are fortunate enough to be alive at the blossoming of the Democratic aloe, should esteem ourselves very lucky mortals, and keep journals, such of us as know how to write, for the benefit of posteri- ty. And, as the pent-up rejoicing of six-times defeated Democrats is apt to be pretty out- spoken and tumultuous when it Washington must make up her mind to take her dose of red paint with as good a grace may be, and live in hopes of being able to work it off again some day. For when Democrats start out to paint a town red, there are no artists living who can compete with them in brilliance of color and boldness of execution. ance to assist at. About once in a comes, LAMAR AND DAVIS. Sexator Lamar says Jeff. Davis is no traitor; never was a traitor, couldn't be traitor if he tried, and much more to the same effect. Senator Lamar’s entitled to the more zht inasmuch as, after this bit of bombast, most people will credit him with close friendship for and unusual opportunities of studying traitors, Jeff.

Davis’ treason did not prosper. The Sonth was beaten, and the victory of Democracy in 1884 comes too late to lift the weight of treason from the Davis of 1861. The victory was won last November by other methods and different leaders.
