DOES ADVERTISING PAY.-It il
sometimes questioned by merchants,
whether advertising pays. The ques.
ton will hardly bear discussion i'm
the light of the following facts, rates
of transient advertising being tigur.
ed. The Chicago Tribune, it is said.
for column year, receives S26, 1000.
The New York Herald receives for
its lowest priced column S39, ,723, and
for its highest S34s,0OO. The New
York Tribune, for the lowest. S29, ,764,
and for its highest SS5,64S, and these
papers are never at loss for adj
vertisements to fill their columns.
The patronage comes not from any
desire to assist the respective papers,
hut from business men who find it
profitable to advertise. The sem
sible business man does not consider
whether he likes the paper he adver-
tises in or not. What he wants to
know is, in what paper shall 1 insert
my advertisement so that it will
reach the greatest number of readers.
1t does not take long to find out by
experience where it pays them best
to advertise. That it does pay they
have no doubt, and raise no questions.
Long experience with almost every
business man who has succeeded has
proved that beyond question.

NUMBER l6.
Snyder's Dynamite Shell.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-F. H. Snys
der, of jersey City, has plans for a
shell which promise to reyolutionize
modern warfare and place even the
wonderful torpedo system as far in
the background as did the railroad
the stage coach. He has been here
for some time consulting with gov
ernment authorities in regard to if.
and test has been agreed upon. to
be made at Sandy Hook next month.
Ahe system combines the qualities of
the multi-charge gun and the Russian
dynamite bomb. Snyder constructs
cartrlde containing large quantity
OF dynamite. Back of this. and sepa-
rated from it, he places successive
layers of powder. so regulated by de-
greeS OF hneness and hydraulic pres
sure that they shall explode in sue
cesslve flashes as the shell leaves the
gun. BY this device he expects to
get velocity nearly fifty per cent
greater than is now possible. He ex-
poets also to ignite the powder by
electricity, thus emitting the vent
which he says causes much loss in
the present system. The dynamite,
he explains, is not exploded by a
spark, but by a blow. Hence his
shell will carry its hundred pounds
of dynamite without an explosion
until it strikes a ships side or the
wall of fort.

Editor Pulitzer.s Success.


Washington Herald.
He Is as remarkable for his ability as a
worker,as financier He is only thrty-five
and is the principal owner of paper that
clears over 81 900 a week. Then Just think
how great the success is. Pulitzer came to
this country green lad when he was fifteen
He was at first a stoker on a Mississippi
river steamboat. While learning our Ian
guage and acquiring foothold he did nearly
everything. Once when he was penniless in
st. Louis during the great cholera year he
obtained the job of digging the graves and
burying the dead cholera patients 1t was
difficult to obtain men with courage enough
for such dreadful task. Pulitzer worked
all through that terrible season and the
cholera passed him by, He did. not fear it
and so he escaped. Then, again, by another
strange turn he wore the livery OF a coach
man, and drove the carriage of man who
still lives in St. Louis. This all illustrates
the force of character and ability of the man
who has in few years accomplished 80
much. He is much too lively and vigorous
for sleepy old st. Louis.

Mr.. Hayes Still Has Hopes.
New York Special. -.

In the course of half an hours conversation
Mr.. Hayes chatted pleasantly on many topics,
laying stress, however, on the fact that he
had no desire to be reported. 1t is not a
breach of confidence however, to say that
the ex-President does not regard the useful
ness of his party thing of the past. He
spoke encouragingly of the future, and
thought it would only take the blunders of a
Democratic House to unite the opposition
for the next campaign. Mr. Hayes said he
did not think there was any doubt of the
ability OF the Republicans to find q
leader strictly within its own limits. Ed
munds. or Harrison, or Lincoln he believed
could, if nominated in 1884, find the party as
strongly at their back as it had ever been for
any one. The general apathy which exists
regarding politics he regarded as indicative
of the general prosperity of the ration. II

rmportance of Municipal Elections.

Richmond Palladium.
The municipal elections of this State are
now about to be held. These may not be i'm
portant in themselves, but they are OF the
highest importance as preparatory contests
for the fight next year. They will have, they
always do have, great influence on the
general contest following, when it is, as in
Indiana, close and doubtful. Every Re-
publican vote thrown away or given to the
enemy this year will have an influence
against Republican success next year. 1t is
the aggregate of little matters which consti-
tute the great, and these city elections, tri-
ing as they may seem in themselves, may
furnish just enough encouragement or de-
preston among Republicans to gain or lose
the State in 1884. If, as argued above, the
presidential election may, and probably will,
depend on the result in Indiana, then In
diana Republicans should run no risks which
can be avoided, and should begin now to
work and vote for the election of Repub-
lican President by union, harmony and
decided, action in voting the Republican
ticket at the city election. st

How to 1naiet Injury on England.
st. Louis Globe Democrat.

If the Irish Americans, as they call them
selves, now in session in Philadelphia, are
really DESTROYS OF inflcting some injury on
England for the wrongs done to Ireland why
don't they resolve hereafter to vote with the
Republican party in this country, in favor
of protective policy, instead of, as hereto
fore, with the Democratic party, which is in
favor of free trade? England has more to
hope from the removal OF the tariff on iron
than she has to fear from all Ireland up in
arms against her.

Democracy and Protection.

In the Democratic policy regarding protec-
ton. their avowed purpose is to take care
of the revenue and allow labor to take care
of itself. Such course is directly against
the interests of all classes of our industries
and all labor, and the surest way to prevent
the iniuryiis to support the party which has
always, by word and deed, administered af-
fairs of government in the interests of the
whole people. English capitalists have no
claim on our sympathies, and the American
capitalists and workingmen have. The Re-
publican party will sustain the latter, though
the former do not survive and grow fat.

The saloons continually violate the laws

They sell at illegal hours They sell on legal
holidays. They sell on Sundays. They sell
to drunken men and habtual drunkards.
They sell to minors. They keep billiard and
/ card tables, where men and boys are per-
mitted to gamble for the drinks or what
ever else they choose. The officers know all
this and permit it to go on unchecked.

cannot be ascribed to cowardice, as the ex-

position that they have been smitten with an
undue share of this worlds wisdom.
