The sp.Aker.Mip OF the House.

WASHISGTON. June 27.-Samuel
Randall making no noise, but there
is good ie SOL TO believe that he is
still II c n''ilate for the speakership.
Occasi, n, ly there is an indication
that his canvass is making progress
Congro man Dunn, of Arkansas, who
is now in Washington, says that four
of the five Arkansas Representatives
have agreed not to commit themselves
to any particular candidate; that
they want roug man with a view
to he influence of his administration
upon the Presidential contest next
year "a man with experience and
ability, who will make no mistakes
of which the Republicans can take
advantage.
The wrong man for Speaker, Mr..
Dunn thinks, would cost the Demo-
Gratis the Presidency and probably the
next House also. The Speaker must he
man opposed to any tariff agitation
Mr.. Dunn declares that the Democrats
have nothing to gain ard everything to
lose by undertaking to tinker with the
tariff while the Senate is Republican
and Republican is President
Mr. Dunn thinks that by keeping
their hands off the tariff next winter
the Democrats will probably gain a
million votes of men, who, while they
are not in favor of high tariff, are
by no means free traders, and all
this may be done without losing a
single free-trade vote. The mean
ing of all this is that Mr.. Randall
will probably receive at least toul
votes from Arkansas for the Speaker
ship,
1t is understood thai within the nex1
few days powerful effort will be made
to give the Carlisle " BOOM lift
with the hope of combining al the
anti. Randall elements in favor of tht
Kentucky candidate on the plattrom OF
tariff agitation.

Thursday:

Real laces, as intimated
some time ago, are now put
on a counter by themselves
The fact IS worth mention in
three ways. First, the conven-
ience Of having them togeth-
er, with no mixture of others,
second, the avoiding the
throng that gathers about
the imitation Laces; third,
(but this concerns us quite as
much as you), the fact that
our trade in real Laces has
come to occupy a whole
counter.
You may recall,if you like,
that we have been selling
general merchandise but
six years, and that we began
under some difficulties. 1t
was quite a jump from mems
and boys clothing to Laces
and such things. Is it any
wonder that a good many
people have looked on and
waited to see whether we
we're going to do our new
business as we'll as our old ?
Every now and then some
little incident shows whether
we are finding out how to
cater for ladies.
We have been enlarging
and enriching our Lace stock
and adding to our salespeo-
pie. 1t is made easier now
by this little change to see
what sort of a stock of Real
Laces we have.
