chided a boy for sliding

it would wear out the seat

ssFUND W.ss

We believe that there are some innocent
people in this region who were interested in
"Fund w" Fund w. was as a nice little
scheme by which some Chicago rascals made'
it is thought, nearly 81 900, 900. The scheme
promised great profits from very small in
vestments, and for time did pay big div
idends. The fraud was exposed, and two
men-John Flemming and Frank L. Loring
were convicted and sentenced to spend one
year in jail-a ridiculously inadequate SEN
tence. But they were pardoned by the Presi-
dent, and Chicago paper has found out how
the pardon was obtained. 1t is an interest
ing tale.
According to the story, the convicted men
had plenty of money and interested "Mike"
Mcdonald, the Chicago gambler and political
boss, i'll the case. This was just before the
last Republican convention, and during that
meeting Mcdonald became acquainted with
the men in charge of President Arthur's cam
paign, "Mike" Cregan, Barney" Biglin,
Johnnie O'Brien, "Clint" Wheeler and
others, who were frequently taken to Nc
Donalds dive during convention week, and
interested them in the case. Then petition
for the pardon of the convicts was prepared,
to which the signatures of three or four well
known Chicago men, who had bust
ness relations with the convicts or
their friends, were obtained. The
petition was filed out with a
suitable number of the names of nobodies
and carried to New York by Mcdonald. 1t
is usual in applications for presidential par
don to obtain recommendations from the
judge who imposed the sentence and the
prosecuting attorney at trial, but the attor-
ney in this case not being workable, " and il
| being necessary to keep the story of the move
for pardon out of the newspapers, no at
I tempt was made to obtain his signature, and
all the batteries were turned upon Judge
Blodgett. A letter was finally procured
from him, and armed with this Boss Nc
Donald of Chicago, 'Mike" Cregan of New
York and brother of Loring went te
! Washington, saw President Arthur and pro-
| cured an almost immediate pardon.
| This will make those who lost by invest
| ing in Fund w. feel comfortable. 1t is
striking illustration of what money an6
| cheek can accomplish.

THE ADDR ESS.


Not for many years has the inaugural ad-
dress of President of this Republic received
the attention that will be bestowed upon the
one delivered by President Cleveland yester-
day. The desire to see il has been sharpened
by the fact that he has not talked enough to
let everybody know what was in his mind.
The address has one very notable merit
that of brevity. 1t is not too long for every
body to read, and will therefore be read care
fully. It's tone is high, and though there is
nothing vary striking in it that may not be a
fatal defect Soundness is more needed than
brilliancy in President. The parts of the
address which are, perhaps, most noticeable
are those referring to the tariff, Civil Service
Reform and the rights of the freedmen. The
tariff question is treated very carefully and
harmlessly Civil Service Reform, the Pres
ident says, should be in good faith enforced
"Our citizens have the right to protection
from the incompetency of public employees,
who hold their places solely as reward of
partisan service, and from the corrupting in
fuence of those who promise and the vicious
methods of those who expect such rewards;
and those who worthily seek public employ
ment have right to insist that merit, that
competency shall be recognized, instead of
party subserviency or the surrender of hon.
est political belief" This is frst-rate doc
trine, and we shall soon see just how much
is meant by it.
What the President has to say about the
freedmen is timely and to the point He
SAWS there should be no anxiety touching the
protection of them in their rights and privi-
leges and that all discussion as to their fit
ness for the place accorded to them as Amer
lean citizens is idle and improbable, ex-
cept as it suggests the necessity for their i'm
provement.
AS whole the address is calculated to
make good impression, and will help re-
lieve the minds of many who think that the
country is ''going to the dogs" during the

The ''bad cold" from which the queen has

hours on Thursday evening, was absolutely

ABOUT SILKS
ONCE MORE.

"There is no such
thing as selling an arti-
Gle below it's value"
we are told. "What
YOU will sell it for and
another will pay you for
it is it's value" Strict
ly speaking, that is true.
What a man will and
can sell a thing for is
THEN and THERE its val
ue. But in the ordinary
commercial use of the
word the "value" of a
thing is the price at
which it is sold COM
monty, all around, in
the usual course of bus
mess. And when we
say that we are selling
something below it's
value, we mean that, for
one reason or another,
we are selling that thing
at less than we could
easily get for it; less
than others / n t h e
neighborhood are get
ting for it. Of course
usually we try to sell
our wares az their value.
Every child knows that
is how a dealer makes
his living; and the man
who is always saying he
sells everything at less
than any one else, may
safely be set down as a
quack.
We are selling Black
Silks below their value
to advertise our busl-
ness. We admit that.
We think it is a good
and legitimate way of
advertising. 1t is not
that we wish to make
you believe we sell
everything else as cheap.
But our expectation IS,
and it is justified by ex-
perience, that a good
Silk trade will bring a
large share of other trade
with it. We are willing
to advertise our business
at the expense of profits
on Black Silks, and just
now for other and diff
ferent reasons we are
willing to do SO even
more strongly than usu,
al. Of course to make
such a thing not a mere
sham we must sell the
very best and mos
trustworthy makes thar
we know of ; and we do
