A correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
aaercial, writing from Washington under
date of Nov. 81, says:
Gen. Butler makes a speech-called by
courtesy lecture-'n Boston, on Wednes-
day night, on the subject l believe, of
the fisheries, but it is understood that he
will cover not only the fisheries, but
Canada, the British colonies, the Alabama
claims and all other questions in dispute
between England and the United States,
and it is also understood that he will fore
shadow the views of the President, and
develop many of the ideas to be used by
Grant in his forthcoming message. 1t is
believed that this is what his visit here at
this time means; that the President called
him here for consultation, and that having
been had, he at once returns to Boston to
speak his piece.

The official vote of the Fourth Con-
gressional district of Illinois, gives
Hawley, Republican, majority of Al.
Two years ago his majority was A, 722. Ii
is thus that the great Radical msjorities
are being whitfield down, where they are
not absolutely overcome. One more effort
will wipe out the majority of many a
Radical Congressman.

IT is stated that for some days before
the New York election, all the lathes in
the Brooklyn navy yard were at work
turning out clubs, at the rate of 81 70
apiece, for the use Of the special United
States Marshals in that city and New
York. 1t is said that over twelve thou
sand were made. Clubs did not happen
to be trumps on that particular day, and
much good wood was wasted. Would it
be too impertinent to inquire what has
become of the said clubs, at whose Or
ders were they made, and who paid the
money!

The New York TrS6uae is singularly
magnanimous since the election. 1t goes
so fsrHas to say: ''We presume Hoffman
received at this election what he never
did before-a majority Of the legal votes

is miraculous from the Tribune.

SOME of the districts which the Demo
Gratis carried in the late elections show
wonderful changes. For instance, the
official returns for the first district in
Wisconsin (Which includes Milwaukee,
give BGtchel's majority at 6,424. Two
years ago the Radicals carried the district
by majority of 429.

The Cincinnati Enquirer puts the New
York I,iJune in rather tight place
after the following fashion: The New
York Tribune has an elaborate article,
the gist of which is that the negroes as
negroes should vote for the Republican
ticket because the Democrats opposed
their voting at all, and they obtained the
ballot through the influence of the Re-
publican organization. Admitting this
logic to be well founded, can the Tribune
tell US why ali naturalized citizens should
not vote the Democratic ticket, for if it
had not been for the Democracy, the
naturalization law would have been re-
pealed in 1915 by the opposition party.
II, on the premises of the Tribune, the
negroes should vote for the Radicals, the
foreigners should go against them.

THE POSTMASTER GENERAL ON
THE SITUATION.

=
Postmaster General Creswell, in an in
terview which he has had with the editor
of the Washington Star, endeavors to
explain the adverse result of the late elec-
lions which have just passed to Grants ad-
ministration, by remarking that ''the off
year elections, midway between Presi-
dental elections, are pretty generally adj
verse to the party in power, and little
significance can be attached to them"
Upon which the Cincinnati Enquirer
remarks: Now, there is this to be said:
The party which makes great gains in
these 'off-year elections" is almost GER
tain to win the Presidential election fol-
lowing. Thus in 1866, midway" in John
sons term, they resulted in a sweeping
triumph for the Republicans. They car
ried every thing by larger majority than
the year before. Two years after they
elected Grant. The elections in 1862
were against Lincoln's Administration,
and he would have been beaten in 1864
if it had not been for the military power
which he welded, and the fraudulent
soldiers votes which he obtained. In 1858
the Democrats lost the great States of
Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, and so
forth, and in 1860 they were defeated in
the Union on President. In 1854 they
were totally beaten in the North, and al
though they had carried all but four
States in 1852, they narrowly escaped de-
feat in 1856. The Wings carried the
House of Representatives in 1916, and in
1S4S elected the President. The Demo-
Gratis carried it in 1912, reversing Wing
majority of 1910, and chose Mr.. Polk
President in 1874. The Democrats lost
the House of Representatives in 1888,
and in 1910 Harrison was chosen. Thus
the Democratic gains in the House in the
''midyear, )" portend, in the light of prcce-
dent, Democratic victory in 1872.

Advertising and its Results.

The following comes from New York paper
'The changes going on in society make it necessary
for business man to keep before the people. II
he expects to succeed in trade, fair statement of
what he is doing and will do, is necessary for him.
self and those dealing with him He must make
this statement, and does do it in some way If be
sells anything. People are quite apt to go where
their attention is called, and if they 6nd things
represented they will purchase there in preference
to spending their time in seeking elsewhere. Those
whose patronage and influence are of the greatest
value never spend too much time in looking up a
thing They have learned that time is money, and
that without time in this world money Is worthless
II is conclusive that there IS merit well profit
in advertising honestly and fairly in telling people
what and how you will do, and then doing it. Those
who are willing to trade strictly upon principle can
circulate an advertisement throughout an entire
community, and it viii have just as much force as
though they spoke to each individual by word, or
each visited their establishment and examined for
himself. This advertising only amounts to the
same as telling your patron when he calls on you
how you viii sell 70 him. II Is just to all con-
cerned to advertise conscientiously and those who
do it viii find advertising Of the utmost tmpor-
tsnce."

How an Illinois Merchant Made IL
Paw

The Indianola OILY Visitor relates this incident:
'rIn 1861, yoeng man was employed in this place
as a clerk in house, at the moderate sum of four
dollars per week In the fall of 1862 he went into
small business on his own hook In 1868 he
formed a copartnership with his brother. When
the senior Of this firm threw his little bark on the
sea of public trade, we suggested to him how to
advertise He took our advice-followed 1t strictly
to the letter-using printers ink than all the
business firms Of Indianola combined. The result
of our advice together with the honesty integrity,
and go-ahesdativeness of this firm, has given them
a competency and foothold among the people Of
Warren that will tell big in after years.

Does 1t Pay to Advertise ?

If you have any doubts about it, the only
way to find out is to give it fair trial, and as
certain whether it does or not.
From every section of the country come tes-
timOnials of the advantages derived from a
well regulated system of advertising. A surer
or safer investment for business men cannot
well be imagined. 1t puts them before the
public in beneficial light; ''they become
known and read of al men," and reap an
abundant harvest from the seed thus sown.
There can be no doubt of the fact; patrons de-
clare it; newspapers assert it, and experience
conclusively proves it. Here are few cases
gathered from various sources illustrating this
point:
