The Hard Times.

The New York Nation. very conserva-
tive and careful authority, in its issue of
last week, notes general feeling among
business men and fnanciers that in the
matter of the ''hard times the country has
no doubt reached the turning point, and
that the symptoms of a favorable reaction
are now Enthusiastically apparent This
appears TO be the general opinion among
capitalists and the mercantile interests all
over The country. The only thing required
to make 'sgood times come again is res
tora,ion of confidence among the ca ptalsts
They hold the money, and not until they
can feel that investments in Industrial
commercial or speculative enterprises will
be safe, can we hope tor a turn in affairs for
the better. II is now three years since the
panic, and we can see no good reason why
the country should not ere th is have begun
to recover from its disastrous effects.

War I'm Boots and Shoes.

AS will be seen by reference to our ad-
rertising columns, war has been declared in
the boot and shoe line, the scene of hos iii
ties being the Champion Boot & Shoe Store
of Koerner & Krause, Main Street, where
one of the largest and best stocks of all
descriptions of boots, shoes, CATERS, slippers
and rubbers are slaughtered at marvelously
low figures. For elegance, style and dura-
bility their stock is unsurpassed, aad as for
prices, they simply defy competition.
Koerner & Krause are anxious that all
should call and examine their fine stock,
feeling assured that by SO doing none will
GO away without beng convinced that
what they promise can be fulfilled to the
letter. Read the advertisement Of Messrs.
Koerner & Krause, and call and see them.

The Columbus Democrat states without

Orion 800 majority for Congress, bat ven

county, as it did two years ago, when it as

Cook, of Columbus, the democratic star of
the first magnitude, who descended so
gracefully in the Congressional fight with
Hon L. B. Caswell two years ago? He re-

and withdraws from the field.

which this city had an interest, disguised
sensible men of all parties aud all factions
His action was not acceptable to the Union
League, nor did it meet the expectations
and wishes of those asking the passage of
measures which he League opposed. And
the same is true OF his course the previous
winter, when he forfeited the respect of all
who sought his aid and influence in matters
before the legislature. Though he finally
favored the measures which were adopted,
and gave great offence to the Union League
by his action, he made no frie nds with the
opposite side on account of the diffidence
he manifested and the contempt be exhibit
ed for the welfare of the city. His play ing
fast and loose upon all questions was for
the purpose Of making political capital,
and had special reference to his election to
the Senate for second term. Indeed, he
has not given vote at any time in which
the interests of the city were involved,
without calculating the chances AS to what
effect it would have in securing votes for
him when be was again candidate We
shall have more to Say upon this subject here
after. This will serve as reminder to our
people Of the ineffcency and incapacity of
the democratic candidate for Senate and
lead them to enquire if it is not their duty to
defeat him at the polls.
