IMPORTANT TO TEA DRINKERS.

We offer the following facts in expla-
nation of the advantages we afford the

Experienced buyers will understand
that good stepping tea, of fine style,
comma nds much higher price than
same stepping quality of Indifferent
style. Hence the first big saving.
Cd We constitute OurseI0es yotr

teen years in the business and never
make our purchases except by stepping
and comparison, which enables us to
judge correctly and purchase judi
ciously.
Sd. The economical manner a,5 reach
ing yow and the sacing of one or more
profits. We import our own teas, when
practicable; always in the markets for
bargains; means ample; no rents to
pay or exp enses of travelling agents.
4th. The establishment of prices GN&
eiae profits yow pay. This is another
great saving to you Our profit is very
small, not one quarter so much as Is
charged by the wholesale dealers gen.
orally, while our agents are placed upon
the same footing as by the increased
amount we sell, by making small profits,
enables us to accept much less remuner-
alton than is usual. We are compelled
to give the sale OF our teas upon our
terms and conditions 10 but one house
in each town, as no dealer would cen
sent to sell teas for the small profit we
offer, could they not reasonably expect
greatly mere ased sales. AS our agents
are selected by us from those of the
best reputation and credit In their re-
spective towns, they will be found will
ing and abundantly able to make good
our guarantees Of saving and eeonemy.

The Prohibition Humbug
Again. 81

Again. -
The so-called Prohlbitionists
have nominated State ticket
for the coming Fall campaign.
This Prohibition party is one
of the arrant humbugs Of the
age. If its few adherents were
really interested in the cause
they profess they would seek
to build up a public sentiment
to enforce our already efficient
temperance laws, rather than
to divide and weaken public
sentiment. We respect the
cause of temperance, but we
have an utter contempt for
this party OF winners who as
sumo 10 themselves all Of this
virtue. 1t is composed in a
small part Of honest men, but
who are so misled by a hobby
that they will not accept the
good which is practical and
then strive for perfection, but
must needs reach the goal at
one step or forever refuse to
move. For this class we have
pity for their misfortunes, but
for the much larger class who
make temperance a business,
AMI prey off cf the smaller,
drawingtheir annual salariesfor
pretended work in the cause,
we have only contempt, which
feeling we believe is INDUCED
in by the public generally
Your professional prohibition
lecturer at one to two hundred
dollars a month, so far as our
observation has extended, is a
poor, puSilanimous blather-
skite, too lazy to work for Il
living, and too cowardly to
steal direct, and when his sal
airy as a "lecturer" ceases, is
more likely to turn up as the
Neeper of a dOggery, than as a
useful citizen.

A Most Righteous Verdict.

There is a general degree OF
satisfaction expressed at the
verdict of the jury in the GRIM.
con. case of McLane against
Mitchell, tried last week, which
we consider a healthy indica-
tion of public sentiment
While popular opinion readily
enough exhonorates the man
who takes the life of his wife's
seducer, it is too liable to
frown upon the one who seeks
the only legal redress he has
a suit for damages,-and juries
are prone to letting the guilty
party off as lightly as possible,
1t is true that no amount oil
money can compensate man
for the loss he sustains in a
matter Of this kind; that the
bringing Of such a suit shocks
all the feelings of our better
mature, yet it is the only legal
remedy a man has, and we are
glad to see a jury award sum
that will make the transgress-
or smart, and have the public
approval Of the verdict.
The law is one which lies al
the very bottom of society,
and protects that which is near
est and dearest to every mans
heart. 1t may be weak and
inadequate; we believe it is;
but while it remains the only
legal means of redress, it
should have the moral support
of every good citizen. 1t is
the lack of this support and
ssmpathy,-the prejddging OF
the injured mans motives,
which leads him to take the
law in his own hands, and seek
o~tisf-Stien an the naurdor of
his enemy.

An advertisement published for a sins

If those persons who profess to be.

give publicity to somc matter they

ADVERTISING is apt to give us that

Er.
Why do people read advertisements?
To see who is enterprising and to learn
what is going on. TO see if there is
anything new, or anything that they
want. To see if the seasons STYLES
have come in, and to find out who has
them. TO know if any one is selling
off at reduced rates, or to watch the
chance of an auction. For amusement.
To satisfy curiosity. Because they
have read all the stories, marriages,
births, deaths, locals and accidents
Because they want to. Because they
cant help it.-Ohio State Journal.
The power of print is well known,
but not well understood. A printed
sentence has a wonderful advantage
over one that is written or spoken
This is one of the many reasons which
gives sn Importance to advertising But
advertisers, even those of experience,
do not comprehend as we'll as they
might the capacity to influence, to per.
suade, to convince, which lies in print
ed matter. Spoken words require the
graces of elOcution and the force of
eloquence, yet even then fade away in
to nothingness if not caught in their
flight and printed. But there is some,
thing in the silent language, the quiet
assertion and the sense of permanence
about printed matter which gives it
marvellous force and influence. Busi-
ness men should never permit them
selves to loose sight Of what may be
accomplished by persevering use of
the printing presses. Learn to adver>
tise, and then the show, when and

knowledge worth having.

"Ihe Ohio Geological Survey

The Cnsn of NIr. CnIfnx.


The New York Star, a strong
Democratic paper and a bitter
enemy of Vice President Col
fax, contains the following,
which is certainly OF the high
est Importance, tending, as it
does, to vindicate Mr.. Colfax
completely:
'In spite of the terrible
weight of evidence against
Mr.. COlfaX, we believe that
every fair-minded man would
be glad to see some honorable
way by which the Vice Presi
dent could eXtricate himself
from this embarrassment. His
story about the $1,000 bill was
very fishy, but yesterday re
porter was sent to Interview
the Nesbitt family about the
affair. He found one of Mr..
Nestitt's sons, ard casually re-
marked that Mr.. NesbItts
name was somewhat promi =
nently brought out in the
newspapers and receive d this
reply, which contains a some
what important bit of testimo
ny in favor of Mr.. Collax: Yes,
indeed; AMI what Mr., CollaX
says is true, for mother says
that she remembers my father
telling her at the time that he
had sent that money on to
him. On mentioning this to
ex, Recorder James NJ Smith,
that excellent criml nal lawyer
remarked that it was a most
important piece of evidence,
and added that once. when he
was running f0r a public office,
Mr.. Nesbitt, with whom he had
at that time a mere bowing &C
quaintance, had sent him
check for Sl00 IN the same
manner. Mr.. Nesbitt was a
warm personal admlrer of Mr..
Col(ax.
1T was expected to have
been able to add the testimo
ny Of Mrs. Nesbitt, but it could
not be procured in time for
this issue. The evidence of
the son, however, is undenia
bly,. important. If Mrs. Mes
bitt should cor firm his state
ment it will be seen that gross
Injustice has been done to one
part of Mr.. Col(ax's Defense"
