TWELVE REASONS
Why the Trade give to the Excelsior Diary the
preference over all others.
LIST. 1t is printed on fine rose tint paper.
I'd. The same quality OF paper is used through
the entire line, giving just good paper in q
cheap book as in high priced one
Sd. 1t is the best finished Diary in the
market.
4th. We give you 2s5 different styles to select
| from.
5th Quite number OF the best selling pat
terms are made by no other house.
9Th. The pocket-book styles are all arranged
to suit the business man.
| eth. Retailers want Diary that is neat at
| tractive and saleable.
sth. You Will find fewer OF them among the
old stock of dealers, as they sell better than
any other Diary.
9th. The sale OF the Excelsior has increased
more than 800 per cent. in the last four years.
which fact shows that the retailer appreciates
them.
10th. We give attractive show cards and post.
ers, and plenty OF them.
18th. They cost no more, and no less than
other Diaries--all lists and discounts being
uniform.
18th. The Excelsior is the best retailing
Diary offered to the trade.
We intend to visit all dealers In Diaries early
in the season. II there are any, however, that
we do not reach, we shall be pleased to send
them, on application, a line OF samples to ex-
anime In comparison with other goods.
Early orders are always filled complete while
late orders are apt to lind the assortment
broken, and frequently the best selling styles
used up. 1t is good plan to put In orders early
as payday comes no sooner than with late or
ders. We can deliver goods any time after Ist
OF October
Send in your orders for the Excelsior. early to

Tho Spanish government was 50 far in
Inundated by the warlike demonstrations i'll
Cuba as &c instruct the Spanish minister at
Washington to ask the United States to con-
sent to modification Of the terms of settle
ment agreed upon in the protocol. The pro-
position is that made by the Cuban Spaniards,
that the Virginius shall bc delivered into the
custody of neutral power until the question
Of ownership, &C.. could be determined. Of
course the President and Cabinet peremptorily
declined to entertain any such proposition rs
this. The government will adhere firmly to
the terms Of settlement already agreed upon,
and will demand the complete falfilment of
its obligations on the part of Spain. What
course the Spanish government viii now pur-
sue is the important question. Itmay refuse,
point blank, to stand by the terms of the pro-
.ocol. 1t may send a feet to Cuba to enforce
compliance with its orders to make lis repara-
ton. Or it may declare its inability to carry
out its part of the agreement and leave it to
us to seek redress from its rebellioas subjects
in Cuba. A few days will determine what
course will be pursued and whether we arc to
have a brush with Cuba or not.

Many thoughtful and good persons will

London has not now the natural SANITARY

Senor Castelar,, the Mirabeau of the
spanish revolution, is evidently Iaborinp
hard to give Spain O stable constitution.
IL Is saiG that he is preparing IN irstru-
ment which is to be analogous to the
Constitution OF the United States. The
number OF States that ore to compose
the Federal Union will be fifteen, in
cluding Cuba and the Philippine islands.
The President Of the Federal republic is
to be elected by universal suffrage for q
term of five years, the Senators are to be
chosen by States and the Deputies ov
universal suffrage. Though the funeral

Senor CASTELAR, that he is making q mis-

heat OF popular passion will soon convert

SO difficult here to get the essence of
wisdom by counting the noses Of fools,

In Spain. Il is not unlikely, too, that
Castelar, will be the first to realize this
mistake. The same folly was attempted
In France, and wher Abbe-Sieyea com

we'll for the Spanish statesman to learn
wisdom from this example before he un-
chains the bull.
