The Political Outlook,

The political outlook, at the present
writing, looks rather dubious, that is to
say, very unsatisfactory. While the re
publicans are, apparently, very well sat-
isfied with their nominations, yet there is
an under current of feeling, which, though
it does not yet show up on the surface,
will in few weeks. The democratic
convention is yet to come off, and it is to
be hoped that the convention, which as
sembles in the city on the lake on July
Sth, will nominate good men While all
this Is true, and great deal more, it is
not well that this people should forget
the ordinary events, which are transpir-
ing in our midst and in which all are
interested. For the past month there has
been quite a ripple of excitement noticea-
Bile in our clothing circles. There was
good reason for this. The Golden Eagle
clothing store, inaugurated system of
giving presents to their customers. This
induced all the people to quit trading at
the other stores, and trade at the Golden
Eagle. Seeing their customers becoming
beautifully less every day, the small fry
concerns rushed into print with sick look
ing birds adjoining their illusions. One
store advertises bean pot, where you
have to guess" whether you are getting
a good bargain or not. Another store, the
one with the sick looking rooster, (sick
onseating crow is nearly frantic over the
way its customers go to the Golden Eagle
clothing store. But the Golden Eagle
store care not whit what its jealous
rivals have to say. 1t goes right ahead,
selling the best good for the lowest price
and making its customers presents. This i:
enterprise, and shows that the only way tc
do business is to do business on the square
and not by deceiving the people. There
fore go to the Golden Eagle for goot
bargains.

Summer.

Summer is here; there can be no doubt
of it as all the signs point to it. 1t is true
that it has only begun, but that is an
accomplished fact. This is proven by the
wandering vagrant as he seeks food with
out labor, and lies down to rest in the
deserted haystack or finds refuge from
the dew in box car. 1t is revealed in the
presence OF the aims solicitor as he sits
from morning till night on the curbstones
with outstretched hands eager to grasp a
nickle. 1t finds expression in the voices
of the wandering minstrels and of the cats
upon the roof. 1t is rung out upon the
balmy air by the tinkling cowbell and it
is howled forth by the festive canine as
he gazes at the moon in the Silly hours
of the night The evidence is ground out
by the blind organist as he turns the
crank upon the street corner and tells the
story of his misfortunes. Then there
comes the poll tax collector, base ball,
lawn tennis, ice cream, strawberries, soda
water, and hanging upon the front gate
for loves sake. All these are now with
us, and If summer isn't here the season
has been nightly crowded.
