Cleveland's Cradle has been so

ted States and Canada that we pre-

cept the inscription is too large.

have it exact. 1t stands now as it

that no person who has seen the

Lincoln and Old Seth Kinman.

A goodly crowd was gathered
about old Seth Kinman, the famous
California hunter, in the comforta-
bic reading room of the Interna-
tional hotel last evening. Seth was
in the best of story telling moods.
He said: "When Abe Lincoln was

Kansas LETTER.

| To the CITIZEN.
EMPoRIA, KAN, Dec, 23rd, So
For some time l have been think
ing of writing letter to the CIrI-
ZEN for the purpose of giving my
friends and the people in general
of old Giles an idea of the peoples
ways and a description in general
of Kansas.
To begin with, before l left
Tennessee l heard a good many
people talking about tue people OF
Kansas being so mean. Kansas
was given the name of being the
worst state in the union, but when
L arrived here l found as nice a
country, if not nicer than Tennes-
see, and friendlier people / never
met than the people of Kansas. A
great many talk about such cold
weather In Kansas. Perhaps it
will surprise some of you, but 1
dare say we are having finer
weather out here here now than
you are having down in old Giles.
L never saw a finer evening than
this. People can pillow right along
it does not freeze but very little at
night. We have had this nice
weather for about two weeks, and l
think it will last as mnch longer.
We had very heavy snow about
the goth of November, but did not
last more than a week. Of course
I it isn't this nice every winter. 1t is
generally pretty cold with lots of
snow, but l prefer the winters of
Kansas to those of Tennessee. As
to the soil, it cannot be excelled for
corn, wheat, oats, rye and other
small grains. Tame grass, such as
timothy, clover, ETC., are not raised
here very much as yet, but the day
Is not far distant when they will
take the place of the wild prairie
grass. The prairie grass is very
good feed for horses and cattle and
some say it is far superior to tame
grass. Where a horse is fed on
prairie grass there is no danger of

Business and Trade.

This is not the season for whole
sale trade and hence no indications
car be drawn from it. Bradstreet's
notes u very encouraging move
ment in dry goods, with indications
of a well-founded belief that prices
are likely to advance, which is sus
tanned by general steadiness in
most staple lines. In Boston the
confidence in a favorable prospect
for the latter portion of the winter
is marked. Altogether the outlook
for trade during the remainder of
the winter IS encouragIng,al although
no remarkable boom is expected.
The local trade has been better
than for years in the holiday
season. Country merchants report
splendid Christmas trade. Several
Of them have told the CITIZEN this
and every one of them, when asked
the question whether the people
had money, replied that they paid
better than usual. About the best
effect of the stringency is its ten
dency TO check extravaganza. The
people will pass into the summer
dull season with money in tie
pockets. A bad effect is the en-
forced deferring of settlement of
old debts. Men have been fright
ened into boarding the money they
have and they don't feel like letting
it loose on an old debt contracted
when values were higher. The CIT
ZEN predicted several weeks ago
that whatever action congress took
upon the silver question or finances,
easier times would follow, and the
prediction Is already verified in the
output of silver. The treasury re-
ports an unusual demand for sill
yer and certificates. The lack of
confidence is largely traceable TO
misstatements of capitalists to
influence silver legislation. The
speech of Senator Beck lets in such
a flood OF light that the public con-
fidenee in the silver dollar is Largely
restored. AS we have insisted, we
see no reason for hard times in
Giles. People have plenty, and
that is the foundation and sub
stance Of prosperity.

Grants Mistakes.

Ben Perely Poore in a letter to the
Boston Budget, says: -
"After Gen. Grant had appointed
Judge TAFT secretary of war he in
vited a number of the leading re
publican senators to dine with him
at the white house, that they might
become personally acquainted. He
forgot, however, to invite Judge
Taft, who, consequently, was not
present, 50 those invited to meet
him did not have the pleasure OF
seeing him. On another occasion,
when congress was investigating
the Washington real estate pool,
Gen. Grant sent one of his sons to
the capitol to invite informally a
dozen republican senators to dine
at-the white house for a conference.
The young Grant mistook the
staunch democrat, Senator Eli
Salisbury, Tor Senator M"rri!! C:
Vermont and so invited the Della
warian. His presence ACTED like an
extinguisher on all political talk,
and he, after wondering all through
the dinner why he was invited, hur-
riedly took his leave when the CT
gars were introduced"

Col. House Flaps His Flop.

We always had q profound re-
spect for Jno. +. House. He is a
brilliant fellow and an honorable
democrat We thought he was
drawing it too strong at the last
governor : convention when he sop
posed to shoot all democrats who
did not agree with him. Now his
reply to Senator Jackson's educa-
tional speech smacks of that
same intolerance iand lacks in dig
nfty of expression. This is q grave
question and Senator jackson is an
able. honorable senator, and 1t does
not become q big man like House to
deal in smattery and irony and ruff
he up his feathers and splutter.
There are serious reasons to be al
legged upon both sides and they
ought to be advanced in cold-steel
seriousness and not spluttered out
in grin. Col House writes as if
be were continually thinking, Il am
Big John Housed Whose little dog
are you?" 1t will do The valiant
colonel no good when he seeks to
seal his claim upon the senatorship
to have 1t brought before the people
how he belittled himself, belirtled

a hmonster issue,' in dealing with
it In jeer and raillery-a conceited
trayesty of logical reasoning. If
the people were privileged to speak
upon this matter it would be a
laundering revelation to those. few

THE UNION-DAlLY AND WEELY
ANNOUNCEMENT FOR 1886.

The Union, though less than a year

and gained friends far in excess OF its
expectations when the venture was in
augurated. Those who have been thus
kind in their patronage are entitled TO
The Unions profound gratitude, which
il is unnecessary TO assure them is iul-
| ly accorded. Feeling that the time has
arrived " hen The public demands re-
quire the issuance of a larger paper,
| The Union has decided to increase to
eight pages, the first issue To appear, Jan,
| first issue making MS appearance Jan.
| l, 1856. 1t has been induced TO take
| this step on account OF the limited
space lett by a generous advertising
pu bic tor the publication of the news.
Its news gathering facilities shave been
very greatly enlarged and extended,
and in quality and quantity its original
articles will be improved. No portion
OF the ever widening fields OF news Will
be neglected. The political intelligence
! from Washington as well as the social
gossip at the capital will be full and
com plete. a thorough system OF state
correspondence has been organized,
reaching out into every nook an
corner tor the latest and freshest cur
rent events.
The local force has been enlarged,
and in this department it will abe the
aim of The Union to chronicle all the
events of the day in Nashville in an en-
tertaining manner. Indeed, the effort
| will be TO make it the best local paper
ever published in the city.
| The financial and commercial COL
umns OF The Union will be kept up to
! the high standard that bankers and
merchants throughout its territory
have conceded to them. Unbiased re-
ports will be given in this important
department of the paper at all times.
Politically, The Union will undergo
no change in its views. 1t will con-
tinue TO support Mr.. Cleveland's adj
ministration so long as it continues to
administer the government on true
Democratic principles, Its utterances
at all times will be, as heretofore, inde-
pendent of cliques and rings.

Death of Hon. Jas. E. Bailey.

Elk Senator James E. Bailey died
of tumor of the stomach at his
home at GAINESVILLE Tuesday morn
ing. He was born near GAINESVILLE,
Aug. Is, 1922. He distinguished
himself as a lawyer and was elected
United States senator in 1876. He
was colonel of the 49th and surren-
dered at Donelson, and after the
exchange was made judge of the
military court of Hardee's corps.
The recent political history of Sen
ator Bailey constituted the most
Distinguishing part of his career.
He reselutely set his face toward
the right and went down in the
holocaust that swept the sky blues
away, without stain and with great
honor. Tennessee loses one of her
unrest and ablest sons.

Weekly,

The Weekly Union, which is the
best paper OF its class ever published
in Tennessee, is a complete and relia-
BILE compendium of the home and for
eign news of the week. Special atten-
tien is paid to its features of late and
accurate market reports and an indus
trial and agricultural department care
fully prepared for each issue, and
printed a nd mailed the day on which
it is dated. The Weekly Union in these
respects is equal to any of the agricul-
tural papers, and the farmer and coun-
try readers will find that it gives more
variety and better news than can any
of the one-idea or one department pa
pers. The price OF The Weekly Union
is 81 a year, and no where else can
those who are not conveniently situa-
ted as TO a daily receive as much valua-
BILE information for that amount.
Sample copies can be obtained by ap-
plicatiOn personally or by letter.
In view of the fact that The Union
has doubled its capacity for furnishing
its readers with news matter it finds it
necessary TO return to its original
