Cincinnati Commercial Special
WASHINGTON, December 1.-The
Star Route ring men think they have
assurances from some quarter that ex-
Senator Chsffee, Of Colorado, is to be
the next Postmaster General, and
they are, for some reason, drawing
much comfort from that fact, In this
connection it is understood that ex-
Governor Rhoutt, Of Colorado, who
believed himself to be General Grants
favorite candidate for Cabinet posi-
ton, has been told that he is to be
made Minister to Russia. Doubling
ones think that neither Of these posi-.
tions yet has the assent Of President
Arthur, and the story told TO Governor
Rhoutt is designed merely to keep him
from entering himself to obtain a Cab
met appointment and thus leave a
clear field for Chaffee. In spite Of
these claims it is more than probable
that when the next Postmaster Cen
eral is nominated it will be found he
is a Missouri man.

fully up to the average in its volume,

During the past few months we have

met with glorious success. This is
gratifying and not to be wondered at,
for they are all young men Of pluck
and energy, which is bound to win its
reward. In this connection we are
glad to make special mention Of the
firm of. Samelson & Co., composed
Of Ike Samelson and Louis Rosenthal,
who entered the wholesale and retail
cigar and tobacco business a few
months ago at No. $40 Main street,
opposite Peabody Hotel, and the pres
tige this firm have received in so short
a time is astonishing. True, they are
both young men of indomitable pluck
and energy, and they keep one Of the
finest stocks of goods in the city, both
for wholesale and retail trade. Their
special brand Of five cent cigars is the
Full Moon, which they claim, and is
universally acknowledged, to be the
best five cent cigar in the country. II

in domestic or imported cigars, call Oh

FALSE ECONOMY MANY people think it
economy to buy cheap food, and save in ar
ticlcs which really are more necessary than
they believe There are people who really
grudge ten cents for vegetables, because they
say it is too dear. others will restrict their
children in milk others will-buy no fish, be-
cause there is nothing in it others will deny
tue little ones refreshing orange OF banana,
and others will never have pudding on the
table.
Meat and bread, hot cakes, chops and
steaks they call cheap because it isreal food.
These people forget that variety really nour-
isles the body, and makes up for that food
which can alone supply our requirements
Besides that, there is no real economy III it,
Meat and bread cost more than vegetables
aud buildings combined with them. The
former leave you craving for something else,
