A Merchant's Opinion.

Ex-Mayor Bullene, OF Kansas
City, was recently in St. Joseph,
and was interviewed by the Her.
aid. Mr.. Bullene is the head of
the great dry goods house of Bul
lene, Moores & Emery. lie said
in reply to q question, that he at
tributed the success of his firm ''to
good times and its extensive adver-
Using" advertising" he said,
twas necessary to ecure trade"
His firm last year expended $40,
600 for advertising, and would ex-
pend between S12, 900 and $15, 600
this year for the same purpose.
This, he said was for newspaper
advertising alone. And he added:
1.-THE newspaper is the only
proper medium tor a live merchant
to employ. / wouldn't give a cent
n bushel for circulars, dodgers and
signboards. When you find a mer-
chant attempting to do business
without advertising in the newspa-
pers, you can make up your mind
he is not very anxious for custom
erS. The people read the daily
newspapers nowadays. Why, sir,
to show the value of advertising,
let me tell you that we spent a
round sum for a full page of the
St. Louis Globe Democrat and Re
pU6Iicdn, and we we're astonished
at the results. People thought we
were crazy to advertise in St.
Louis, but we secured customers
from Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, and
Kansas that could be traced direct
ly to these advertisements"
"You advertise regularly; that
is, constantly" said the reporter.
Eyes, sir Our contracts are
for six months and a year. The
dull season, is the very time we
advertise. People are always ready
for a bargain, you know. Our pol
icy is to put as much money into
newspaper advertising as into store
expenses-that is, rent and light.
All the successful merchants of to-
day owe their success to legitimate
newspaper advertising.

just as much surprised as anybody
when it occurred. You see, our
minister is laid up from the effect OF
the ride to the funeral, when he
tried to run over a street car, and
an old deacon, who had symptoms
of being a minister in his youth,
was invited to take the minister's
place, and talk a little. He is a.
absent minded old party, who
don't keep up with the events of
the day, and whoever played it OH
him knew that he was too pious to
even read the daily papers. There
was a notice of a choir meeting to
be read, and | thinkthe tenor SNUG
gled in the other notice, between
that and the one about the weekly
praycrmeeting. Anyway it wasn't
me, but it like to broke up the
meeting. After the deacon read
the choir notice he took up the
other one and read, Il am requcs-
ted to announce that the Y. M. G.
Association will give a friendly en-
tertainment with soft gloves, on
Tuesday evening to which all r
invited. Brother John Sullivan,
the eminent Boston rivivalist, will
lead the exercises, assisted by
Brother Slade, the Maroi mission
ary from Australia. There will be
no smuggling, but a collection will
be taken up at the door to defray
expenses.' Well, | thought the
people in church would sink
through the floor. There was not
a person in church, except the poor
old deacon, but what understood
that some wicked wretch had de-
ceived him, and l knew by the way
the tenor tickled the soprano, that
he did it. l may be mean, but
everything / do is innocent, and 1
wouldn't be as mean rs a choir
singer for two dollars. l felt real
sorry for the old deacon, but he
never knew what he had done, and
| think it would be real mean to
tell HIM. He won't be at the
smuggling match. That remark
about taking up the collection set
tied the deacon. l must go. down
to the stable TO- and help grease
a hack, 30 you will have to excuse
me. If pa comes here looking for
me, tell him you heard l was going
to drive a picnic party out to Wau-
keshs, and may not be back for a
week. By that time pa will get
over that Bohemian serenade," and
the boy filled his pistol pocket with
dried apples and went out and hung
a sign in front of the grocery,
Strawberries two shillin a smell,
and one smell is enuff."

The Forgiving General.

Boys are apt to think that a for
giving disposition is the mark of
a milksop, but that to show resent
ment is an exhibition of manllness.
The fact is, as an English writer
affirms, "the brave only know
how to forgive. towards have
even fought, but a coward never
forgave." An anecdote associated
with the great Methodist, John
Wesley, and Gen. Oglethorphe,
the founder of Savannah, Ga, il
Illustrates the writer's meaning.
Mr.. Wesley and Gen. Ogleth-
orpe sailed in the name ship to
America. One day during the
the voyage, the clergyman, hear
ing an unusual noise in the Gen
erals cabin, stepped in to inquire
the cause of it.
Wesley, you must excuse
me-" said the General, showing a
good deal of temper. 81 have
met with a provocation too great
for man to bear. You know the
beverage that agrees with me the
best of any"
"This villain Grimaldi, she can
tinued, pointing to his Italian ser
want, ''has drank Hp the whole of
it. But l will be revenged on
him.
81 have ordered him to be tied
hand and foot, and to be carried to
the man-of-war that sails with us.
The rascal should have taken care
how he used me, for l never for
give,
"Then, l hope, sir, that you
never SIM" said Wesley, looking
him squarely in the face.
Confounded at the mild but pun,
gent reproof, the General took a
bunch of keys from his pocket and
throwing them to his servant,
said:
"There, villain! take my keys,
and behave better for the future

The air to which "Home, Sweet
Home" has been sung has been
wrongly attributed to Sir Henry
Bishop. 1t is much older then
Bishops time, and had its birth in
Sicily. Bishop obtained it from
Capt. Alexander Stuart, an officer
who served in Sicily under Lord
Bontick. He never claimed it as
his own, but, on the title of the
regular English edition(published
by D'Almaine & Co.., stated the
source from which he obtained it.

Southern democratic newspapers complain
bitterly because republican papers condemn
the Copiah county murder as political
crime. They argue that the democracy of
that county are no more responsible for the
murder of Matthews, than is the republican
party for murders committed in the North.
There is no reason or logic in their argu-
rent. The difference between the two is

enliyened by bands of music, aud the pass
ing of resolutions approving the crime. In
the north, Purderers are tried, convicted and
imprisoned, or hung, when they can lie
caught. In Mississippi they are looked
upon as chivalric gentlemen, and rewarded
with political honors, provided their victims
are republicans. As long as murder is done
in the interest of the democracy of the
south, az long as political sssassins not only

they should promptly arrest, try. convict and

a burning shame and disgrace which will

A free ballot and fair count does not
seem TO be the motto of the Copiah county
democrats. In an attempt to cast his vote
at Hazelhurst, "Prent" Matthews received
charge of "a buckshot in the face, killing
him instantly. He went to the polls single
handed and alone, and in his attempt to ex-
ercise his privilege of American citizenship,
was shot down like dog. This is the
worst murder that has occurred III Missis-
sippi since the Chisholm killing. IT will in
Jure the good name and prosperity of the
state. Every bullet that was shot into Ma &
thews will be worth thousands of votes to
the republicans, because it will be said, and
il cannot be denied, that he was killed on
account of his politics by intolersnt demo-

II is quite probable that, without knowing
the source from which the foregoing state
Inent emanated, il would be characterized
by bourbon papers as On attempt to stir Up
and keep alive the spirit of sectional strife

or styled black republican campaign lie.
But it is only an extract from the Vicksburg
Miss Post, southern democratic news
paper, which has the good sense TO appre-
ciate the on ormity of the horrible crime
committed by Copiah democrats, and the
courage to express its honest convictions.

John q. Carlisle was nominated for speak
er, at the democratic caucus, on the first bal
lot. The result Of the ballot as it finally stood
after some changes had be0 IA made, was Car
Isle log, Randall 81, Cox 80. Carlisle did not
receive a single vote from the great states OF
New York and Pennsylvania and none from
New Jersey, Maryland, and Connecticut, and
but one from Virginia. The election of Mr..
committed to the pernicious doctrine of free
trade, and that the tariff will be prominent
issue in the next campaign. Evidently the
leaders of the democracy hope that on the
free trade issue, or what is substantially the
same thing, tariff for revenue only, they may
succeed in carrying some of the western states
80 as to enable them to get through without
the electoral vote of New York. That state
like Pennsylvania is sure to repudiate any
party that proposes TO ruin the manufacturers
of this country by removal of protective
duties. Had the mantle of the speaker de.
scended upon the shoulders of Mr.. Randall,
who is ar ayowed protectionist and the ablest
man the democrats have in the House, his
election could have been pointed 10, in New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and elsewhere,
when it was necessary as a complete answer
to the charge that the democracy was free
trade party. The election of Carlisle is the
first stupendous blunder of the new demo-
cratic congress, which may reasonably be eX-
pected TO be followed by others of like char
scter. Republicans everywhere ought to re-
joioe a. the result, as it assures republican
success in 1884, if proper care shall be exer-
cised in the selection of our candidates.
With the senate republican and a republi-
can executive, the democratic House can press
the boosted tariff reform measures of that
party, without endangering or jeopardizing
the prosperity of the country.

For some of the spring elections and the
fall election of 1864 we have not been able
20 find the returns, but there was hand

While this township has not always given

towns, it has been persistently republican in
the past. and we predict it will be so in the
future.
