WE xlsh to have It distinctly

WE wish to have 1t distinctly
undsrstood that the HERALD Is q
Democratic paper. We have nailed
our colors to the masthead and We
propose to sink or swim, survive or
perish, on that basis. Far more
than at any time in our history do
we believe that the United States
will be ruled, for years to come. by
either the Democratic or the Re-
publican party. We think the
chances are for the former. More
flrmly than at any previous time
do we think that the State Of Cali
fornia will be ruled by either the
Democratic or Republican party
for an indefinite time ahead. At
the date of this writing we are in
cllned to think by the lateral
least rs respects the next election,
allowing for shifting political
kaleidoscope which may give the
Democrats the upper hand None
the less staunchly Dc we think that
the county of Los Angeles, at the
election next Fall, will be either
Democrat or Republican, as to
which, for the present, we decline
to venture a prediction. OF one
thing, however, we are superla-
lively sure, and that Is that the
men who are now diligently en-.
gagged carrying water on both
shoulders are politically wrecked.
We beg readers of the HERALD to
put pin there. The time-servers
are possessed with the idea that

tell them that the time is
coming when neither Democrat
nor Republican will touch them
with q forty foot pole. 1t is all
very well to initiate the Apostle
Paul, and try to be all things to all
men, but, when the critical time
comes, the "stalwarts" of neither
the Republican nor Democratic
party will have aught to say to
these gentry. Some things can be
done ~ we'll as others; and the be.

Special Notice to the Public.

SpecEaI NOtlce to the Public.
report has been circulated that it is the
intention of our house to close business and
remove from Memphis. We take this method
of cOntradl2tlng the rumor and of assuring
the public that at no time in the career of our
firm IN this city have such extensive arrange
ments been made for the transaction of a
first. class retail trade Recognizing the ne
cessities of the times, the growing demand
for useful and cheap goods, and the small
profits arising from legitimate business, we
have resolved to curtail useless expenditures,
and have vacated one of the stores occupied
by US heretofore. We feel satisfied that by
combining our business to such proportions
that we can personally oversee it, the ad-
vantages to our patrons will be apparent.
Mr.. ]. Stanwood Menken, the managing
partner in Memphis, will devote his whole
time and energy to the business here-it is
his intention to make Memphis his home, and
he will move his family here in the early fall.
Mr.. Jules A. Menken, the senior member of
the firm, is still the resident buyer in New
York, and will forward novelties for
ladies' and children's spring wear as rapidly
as they appear in the eastern market. Our
wholesale business will be conducted On a
strictly cash basis. Hoping to receive the
esteem and confidence of this community in
the future, as IN the past, we promise to
merit it by rigid adherence to fair dealing
and honorable business principles.
