What the railroad is to the mule

MISTAKEN ADVERTIS , Y !

The Denver (Col.) Herald, eX-
presses the opinion that the public
can be better reached through the
columns Of a newspaper of fair cir
culation than through all other me
diums, costly circulars, cards, post
ers, give -aways and jim cracks put
together. The old established week
" newspaper is, after all, the only
general, iudicious medium for adj
vantageous advertising. A thou
sand doors are opened to welcome
it; thousand messengers are week
" seeking the Postoffice to receive
it; thousand families look for its
coming, and ten thousand read it
when it dose come, advertisements
and ALL" There is much truth in
this. The thousands Of dollars vast
ed annually upon expensive altman
acs, circulars and other questionable
methods of advertising, which, in
company with patent-office reports,
find their way to the junk shop,
would render very material aid to-
ward the support of numbers of de
serving local papers, and also return
something in the way ofprotit to the
advertiser.

the Egypt Cotton Crop.

The consul-general of the United

cottonfrom Egypt during the three
proceeding years averaged. 1900, 600
quintal year.
This great falling off in the cotton
crop for 1875 was caused by the lowness
of the Nile last year and its unprece-
denied. overflow this year. Two mil
lions acres, or more than two fifths of all
the arabic lands of Egypt were inunda-
ted in September Of this year. This in
undatlon included most of lands of
Lower Egypt, which were planted with
corn and cotton. The former crop was
almost all destroyed and the latter
much injured.-N q. Times.

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING.

Newspaper advertising IS now rec
ognized, by business men having
faith in their own wares, as the most
effective means for securing for
their goods wide recognition OF
their merits.
Newspaper advertising compels
inquiry, and when the article offered
is of good quality and at a fair price
the natural result is increased sales
Newspaper advertising is a per,
manent addition to the reputation
Of the goods advertised, because it
is permanent influence always at
work in their interest.
Newspaper advertising is the
most energetic and yigilant sales
men, addressing thousands each
day, always in the advertiser 5 inter
est. and ceaselessly at work seeking
customers from all CLASSES.
Newspaper advertising promotes
trade, for even in the dullest times
advertisers secure by far the largest
share of what is being done.

editor of great ability. He had trav

Greece, Russia, Crete, India, China,
etc., and accompanied the United

of all these explorations were publish

During this most active life OF travel,

At Chicago The snow, on dead level
measured from twelve to eighteen inch
es, the thermometer ranged from ten to
fifteen degrees above zero, and winter
had begun in earnest. Business was
slack, and navigation very much impe-
ded by the ice. The people were Dress
ed in fnrs and robes, and looked like
Laplanders Notwithstanding the cold
they were not idle. Those who have
business on hand attend tol it in the
day and employed half the night in
sleighing. Thousands spend the day

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

Harpers Weekly takes the position
that TIden will be tbs next Democrat
ic nominee for the Presidency, and
offers some sound reasons for the opln
ion. 1t says. the Southern vote will be
solid for the candidate, whoever it may
be, but the Southern vote alone will be
inadequate, and New York must be
secured 1t will be necessary, there-
fore, for the Southern delegates in the
Convention to accept the candidate who
is surest of New York. Now Messrs.
Thurman and Hendricks are SO I'M
sound upon the financial question that
the New York Democratic money
power" would rel 9ct them both, 50 that
the nomination of either would Ger
tainly lose New York. Mr. Bayard,
who is agreeable to the sound-moueY
New York Democrats, and unquestion :
ably their choice, cannot carry the
State. because it can be carried only by
skill and care and experienced manage
ment. But these ste the very quail
ties that Mr.. Tilden is supposed to
contribute to the situation. He has,
or certainly will have, according to the
view, the control of the State Commits
tee. His friends have Horstets Mr..
John Kelly in his own arena, and MIR.
Tilden will probably have very large
proportion, if not the majority, of the
State delegation to the nominating Con
vention, so that it would be very mex
pedient to set him aside. New York
must be carried; Tilden can carry it
more probably than any other COMPETE.
tor, and the same reasoning which was
conclusive in 1876 it is held will be

is no place for Messrs. Thurman or

Mr.. Tilden is the most promising.
