A reporter dropped into one Of oul

"You have a great rush." remarked
the reporter.
"Yes,'' replied the proprietor, part.

mainly on account of advertising"
GLOW can you tell whether adver.
tising pays, and what papers are good
mediums 2"
81 can tell that advertising pays by
stopping my advertisements. I've
tried it. Trade drops, not at once, but
the tide of purchasers flow some other
way. The cash receipts tell the story
ais there any difference in the
sharpness of tie buyers-I mean, dc
they haggle much over the prices!'
"Oh, no; we sell at one price and all
the best stores in Boston do the same,
They will sometimes say they can buy
such and such an article cheaper else
where. When they mention the place
we send and see if it is true, and if SO
we mark our stock down."
Suppose you should give up adver :

"Well, should save big pile
money the first year, but should los
bigger pile the next two years. Ye

Is THERE DANCER /!

The Sedalia Eagle thinks we are on
the eve Of a general foreign war to
maintain the Monroe Doctrine lately
emphasized by the action of Secretary
Blaine. The Eagle thinks congress
should either back down from the
position taken by Blaine or appropri-
ate without delay, at least fifty millions
of money to build a navy. 1t also
suggests that an invasion from Canada
would be one of the possibilities.
What it says in regard to our navy is
correct but we should smile to see any
army Great Britain could muster in
Canada attempt such a feat as the in
vasion of the United States. We
could very well afford to turn them over
to the loving attentions of our Irish
fellow citizens who would afford them
all the amusement necessary while
Uncle Sam was attending to his own
private business affairs. A war on the
part of the England against the United
States would mean the loss of Canada
and in all probability Ireland also.
We do not apprehend very much
danger from that direction.
Those claiming to be we'll informed
on the subject say there will soon be a
general reorganization in the different
departments at Washington, and a
wholesale cutting off of the heads of
those who enjoyed the sweet privilege
of occupying office at the government
expense under the Hayes Administra-
ton. If this is done to give place to
more competent and better officials and
employees it is wise, but if it is done to
make room for favorites, and to crafty
members of a political faction to the
exclusion of other republicans equally
as good and true, the result will be
neither beneficial to the country at large
nor the republican patty. Ifthere ever
was time when wisdom and modera-
ton were required upon the part of the
administration, now is the time. The
republican balance of power is very
small, and it would not take much of
blunder to throw that balance into the
hands of the opposition. Just now is a
good time to hasten slowly.

READ AND VOTE.-Extract from the
conclusion of the Address of the Conser-
vativc Committee in Richmond:
"Look around you, gentlemen, and
mark upon which side of this contest is
the wealth, the Intelligence, and the
probity of your community, and array
yourself on that side. Look around you
and see where stand the men most sue
cessful in business affairs, most sanguine
of our future look for the men who EN-.
ploy, promote, and encourage the labor
of this city for the mechanics, artisans,
and skilled labor of all kinds. Look how
they vote, and vote with them. Our in
terests are all identical. Vote with the
men who read the papers, who think and
reason as to their political opinions /; not
with those who are bought like cattle
and driven to the polls like sheep. You
Of political aspirations, who fear the re-
suit of the election, your future will be
brighter, your record will be cleaner for
having voted against Malone brighter
even, cleaner even, though Malone
should carry the day.
There are more white men in the State
Of Virginia than there are negroes, more
Democrats in the State than Republi-
cans, and sit must follow as night the
day" that If every white man and every
Democrat goes to the polls on the 7th day
of November, Mahoneism and its mon
grel following will receive such rebuke
that they will no more have the audacity
to face the offended wrath of people not
dismayed by the infections of war, not
dishonored by their lack of wealth, a
people still true to the glorious traditions
of Virginia, still true to her enviable flu
ture. H. M. SMITH, Jr.,

How this world is given to Lying,

We have been surprised to learn from
q respectable citizen of this city that he
was told by Readjuster that we would
not vote for Massey. In the language Of
Falstaf. we exclaim: 20 Lord how
this world is given to lying" If we had
ten thousand votes they would all be
given to Massey. We think it more i'm
portant to elect Massey than any district
candidate. As we have said from the
beginning of the canvass. we would
vote for Satan himself, with hoofs and
borns, if he would vote the Democratic
ticket IN Congress in preference to any
man, however respectable, who would
vote in Congress with the Republicans,
as Wise and Paul will be sure to do. We
would earnestly invoke all, as we have
done all the time, to vote for Massey and
O'Ferrall.
We repeat, that if we had ten thousand
votes. every one of them would be cast
for Massey and o Ferrall.
We hope that both of these candidates
will be elected, and we have done all
that we could effect that result.

VOTE FOR MAssEY.-With the Rich
mond Dispatch, 1--WE cannot understand
the Democracypf a man who can vote
for q Readjuster Republican, such as
John s. Wise, but cannot vote for a Re-
adjuster- Democrat, such as John E.
Massey. We would not give a fig for
such mans Democracy. To all such
men we appeal once more to vote for the
representative of the Democratic party.
Do not stumble over a mere name.
When you vote for Massey you will vote
for Democracy. When you vote for
John 8. Wise you will vote for an Adj
ministration Republican. In the name
of reason, why not support the candi-
date who agrees with you in principle
and will vote always with your own
party, rather than for the candidate who
does not agree with you in principle and
will not vote with your party In Con-
gress ?
Look at this fact: John 8. Wise's vote
might elect the next President Of the
United States if the election should be
thrown into the House Of Representa-
tives. If Virginia sends to Congress six
Republicans, including John s. Wise,
and but four Democrats, her vote would
be cast for Arthur. If five Democrats
and five Republicans, her vote would be
lost altogether. If six Democrats, in
Guiding Massey, her vote would be cast
for Hancock or the Democratic nomn-
nee. Won't you give vote for Han
cock and against Arthur ?-for Democ.
racy and against Republicanism?

DEMOCRACY VS.. STALwART REPUB-
L1CANIsM.-The present contest, it can
not be too often repeated, says the Rlch-
mond Dispatch, is between the national
Democratic party and the Arthur-St
wart faction of the Republican party.
General Malone wishes to send to the
next National Republican Convention
delegates pledged to give the nomina-
ton for President of the United States
to Mr.. Arthur. It is little that Arthur
would care for Mahone's stereotyped
resolution, adopted by all the little knots
of Mahoneites whom he has gathered
together in the various counties, if it
were not for the fact that he understands
that resolution to mean that when the
proper time comes the Coalition Boss
will again assemble his colored clans
and their local white leaders and make
them declare that Arthur Is the fittest
Republican to succeed Arthur in the
high Office which he now holds. The
prize which he drew In the lottery of
assassination, to use Senator Edmund's
words, Mr.. Arthur would like to possess
for four years longer as the gift of the
people.
Not single vote should be lost. Look
to this, and get every voter to the polls.

LIQUOR DEALERS The Office of the
Auditor of Virginia is rlnsacked for the
names of every licensed liquor dealer
in the State, and to each of these lie
sent circular letter on the eve of the
election advising them of the action of
the National Protective Association of
Liquor Dealers and the danger to their
interests of electing Prohibitionists, of
which John E. Massey is alleged to be
one, to Congress. W., do not see what
Congress has to do With prohibition.
The Republicans keep up pretty stiff
tax on the grog sold by liquor dealers
and refuse to abolish it. Each State in it's
legislative capacity regulates licenses or
prohibition. In Congress Mr.. Massey
would favor q repeal of the United
States liquor tax. Liquor dealers will
therefore find it to their interest to send
the old prohibitionist where he will do
their trade good instead of harm.-

LOOK UPON THIS PICTURE AND UPON

BILE white people of Virginia. Arrayed

negro population of the State, supple
mented by few regiments of Office
holding and ofice>seeking white men.
Under the flimsy disguise of liberalism,
the purpose of the renegade Virginians.
who are In command Of this m0ngrel
army, is to Africanize the Old Com
monwealth, with view to the perpetu'
alton of power and patronage in their
own hands and for their own benefit.
Their success in this election will be
fatal to the best interests of our State
and people. It will secure permanent
degradation, under the iron rule Of a
corrupt and malicious political Boss,
who has no conscience to restrain him
from visiting upon all who oppose him
the full measure of his vengeance. The
triumph of Malone will be the most ter
rible calamity that could by any posi-
bility befall the people of Virginia. The
evil consequences that would result
from it are fearful to contemplate. The
degraded and suffering condition of oul
sister States of the South in the dark
days of reconstruction, furnish no ade'
quate conception of what we may expect
at the hands of stalwart Radical ad
ministration through the agency of
heartless and embittered Boss, and the
underlings that always do his bidding

dren and twenty-four great-grandchil-
dren, most of whom are living, making

READ, WHITE MEN.-A correspon-
dent of the Richmond Dispatch, in his
account of the speech made by Mahone's
colored speaker Langston, in Williams
burg, says the speaker stated:
"That Malone, in a conference with
leading Republicans at Philadelphia.
had said he did not stop at readjustment
of Virginia's debt, but intended to ami
hilate every legal obstruction to perfect
equality in the South and that Malone
would be compelled to overturn the re-
naming legal barriers are. I believe,
the laW against intermorridge, mired
schools etc. Malone had brought much
to pass, and more would come to pass"
It would seem from this that Langston,
like Gen. Malone, is In flavor of the
obliteration of class distinctions.
The white people of Virginia have
but one alternative-that is. protect
themselves at the polls against the negro
equality crusade led by Malone.
