A Spring Opening.

We have none. No chance for
it. If we would keep our choice
things put away until given time,
and then offer them to the public
Il at once, we should be foiled, for
people come in the winter when the
frost is in the air, and snow and ice
hold the earth in bondage, while our
preparations are just forming for
the spring campaign, and demand
the new goods. 1t would be ungra-
{ ,ous to refuse; and SO, perforce, we
cannot have a Spring Opening.
But we can open with a spring, and
as we write, while hardly bursting
bud is to be seen upon the trees,
the spring trade is springing on us
with a refreshing rush. Times dull.
you say? Not to the bold dealer
hat takes no counsel of fear. And
Oak Hall is just such. Already the
opening spring tells of abundant
ales just ahead.

Ex-Governor Ourtin's Views.


In response to a reporter in New
York the other day Ex-Governor Cur
tin said
81 think, that there is now a much
better and quieter feeling among th-
Democrats in the House than there
was Immediately after we defeated the
Morrison bill. There is disposition
now to let things alone, and go ahead
fighting common enemy on some
other ground
''lt brings a sort of settled condition
of things. The folly of keeping the
business of the country all the time in
fret and turmoil and state of uncer-
tainty has been disposed of, and pow
the party should confine itself to the
national differences between us and the
Republicans, and leave this tariff fight
to be adjusted locally inside the party
lines"
"Then you do not anticipate any rev.
enue reform plank at Chicago ?"
"No, can't imagine that the party
will deliberately reopen a wound that
has healed. 1t would be very suici-
dial policy. Of course, with that sort
of plank we would be swamped in
Pennsylvania, and they can't afford to
do that"
"Conld you carry the State without
any plank proposing tariff reductions?'
'We would have fighting chance,
/ believe"

the celebrated Ticbborne claimant.
Together they were cashiered from
the army. This led to his being dis
graced at home. A quarrel followed.
He separated from his friend, and came
to this country. Together they travel
ed all over the world. His friend at
last, believing him to be dead, set up
as the claimant.
The famous claimant had CLEANED
