We see- approaching an election of

Iteming honesty the best policy, and .
in btrikini; contrast w ith the course of

the onposiiisr nartr, we have named an
eariv t:KV for tle assembling of the State '
Convt - ntion. Our principles as a partv !
wiU t10U hti enunciated and our eand'i I

pciitic.
The variance in the vote of this State
during the past few years, anrespecially
the very closo contest in the Presidential
election of 1880, "gives us much hope
that, notwithstanding our present mi
nority, with harmony in our ranks, and
a well directed exertion of our strength,
we shall carry o5 tho palm of victory,
But to assur this end it is imperative that j
all Democrats should contribute their un
divided support and hearty co-operation,
not only in the actual' canvas, but from
its very initiation ihf county primaries.
We do not presume to trespass upon the
province of our popular Convention, but j
do earnestly invoke all membr-rs of our j
party to put aside past difiorenccs and
personal antagomsn's, to unite in har
monious action in the various primaries,
and to send full delegations of represen- j
tative men to attend the State Conven
tion. Wo have deemed i fitting to
reduce the number of delegates in the
hope of securing th personal attend
ance cf those to be chopen. We es
pecially recommend the formation of lo
cal clubs, where practicable, throughout
the State.
Believing that the success of tho De-
mocracy is the welfare of the people, we
cordially invite all persons, regardless cf
past political affiliations, who favor sim
plicity, economy and frugality in the ad
ministration of public affairs, to unite

you make a test of your fire dampers and
t:rc shutters on the afternoon of Wed

convenient place near the Grand Pacific
hotel, as a meeting of the "Western Mu

The invention consists of a sheet-iron
ceiling and a deafening of ashes about
two inches in thickness between tho two
fioors. The test yesterday proved that
confined the fire to the place where it
originated. The amount of fire in the
building gave positive proof of the efii
mcv rif ih.n. in vrntinii. Aiiii-mr1 fho nr.
j a
chitects present was Mr. Walter Pash
ley, Mr. Marshall Field's architect, and
the board ot underwriters, that met at
the Grand Pacific hotel yesterday after
noon. These srentlomcn all gave their
unqualified approval of the result ob
tained. To-day another fiVe test will be
made at 3 P. M. on the sheet-iron ceiling.
A continuous fire, will be kept up to ascer
tain how. long the ceiling wPl actually
stand th? action of tho heat. Mr. Dol
man's is undoubtedly the cheapest of all
known methods of fire proofing.
1
TJjc Serond lest.
Mr. Dolman had announced Iris sec
ond and crucial test in yesterday's Times.
The tc-st yesterday consisted of keeping
up a constant fire inside the building de
signed for this purpose, to demonstrate
how long the iron ceiling would actually
stand the action cf the fiamos. Tho fire
was started at 3:30 r, ji., and was kept
up for an hour and fifty :i;inutes before
the sheet-iron showed any signs of giv
ing way. It must not Jie forgotten that
the cviling had been subjected to a forty
iivo minutes' fire on Wednesday, which
was fully reported in Th Times yester
day. The iron used b' Mr. Dolman is
that known as twentf-seven gauge,
weighing from tr-n to twelve ounces to
the souure foot. It was particularly rc
markab'e that v. h?n the iron did event
ually succumb to the hf-at it in no way
4urld" or 44 buckled," which terms are
quita understood among-.t practical -build-erf.
This second test has gone far to
prove what Mr. Dolman claim?, p.nd
which has now been Katisf-ictorially dem
onstrated, and with his method the lire
can be "oufir.ed to the part of the build
ing where it originated, and by so doing
prevent the destruction of the entiie
building. Tho only thing that actually
suiters is the interior of the room which
catclie.i on fire. Tltt Taw.?.
Is it not just possible that England's
noise and her victories are somewhat out
of proportion ? Fighting infanta dees
not require a great deal of ammunition,
neither does a strong government require
much strength, to . fight half-sa-age na
tions, but England' makes as much fuss
over her unequal victories as if she were
really fighting somebody she lakes
special care net to tackle anything of
her size. Tte American Sentry.
