RUBBER we say of it-which
sounds a little odd.

rubber" we say of it-which
sounds a little odd.
A rubber garment has its
needle-holes through which
water percolates whenever it
gets a chance.
This waterproof serge isn't
alright by any means. But
there is repulsion between it
and water which prevents water
going through it, no matter
how full Of holes it may be-
There is a difference too in
the closeness with which you can
wrap yourself with disagreeable
rubber and with agreeable
cloth.
Practically rubber keeps off
most of the rain, nearly all; it
is waterproof enough for most
Of us. We imagine it perfect.
1t isn't perfect. 1t is a great
deal better than anything our
grandmothers had to keep the
rain off with. And it costs but
little. That is its virtue. A
good rubber wrap can be bought
for $3.50.
But this new Engligh water
proof serge is a beautiful stuff,
apart from being waterproof
and dust-proof; a most agree
able stuff; a fine and delicate
feeling stuff; not really delicate
it tint hurt by water or dust
any color you like; you seem
to be dressed with no thought
of rain, and then if it rains you
are dry; but it costs SI2 for a
raglan, So for a circular, 81 up
for a dress.
The difference between dis
agreeable rubber and this per
fectly agreeable cloth is asmuch
in fact and in feeling as in the
prices.

MIR. CLEVELAND AND HIS FRIEND
MATTHEW'S.

President CleveIand's recent appoint
ment of Matthews the colored Demo-
cratic lawyer of Albany to the Record
ership of the District Of Columbia after
his rejection by the Senate, places the
President in an unfavorable light before
the country, as indicating a dogmatic
assumption of authority which he can
not legally exercise. The President
makes appointments by and with the
advice and consent of the Senate, and
it is very questionable, whether he has
the legal or constitutional right to ap-
point to an office, after the adjourn
ment of Congress, man whom the

 People who have purchased four or five different titles will no longer sub init to be robbed of their homes and see their wives and families turned into the street."
 You are wrong, MT. Editor, the peo- pie will submit to it as they have done for the past five years. They will sub init !o being robbed; they will see their wives and children turned into the street again and again and then kiss the hand that smote them. The people of Tombstone will bow down and worship these respected citi- zens," and at the same time will take an unarmed, dOfenceless man with more real bravery in his poor, ignor- ant soul than is combined in this en- tire gang of "aristocrats," who dragged him through the streets and strangled him to death from the cross-bar of a telegraph pole.
 Heath was hung for unlawfully do- ing what these men have done under sanction of the law. Heath was not a member of "the church." If he had been he might have escaped his much merited punishment. Heath had no money with which to corrupt judges no townsite to divide up with the tat torneys."
 What the thoughts of that poor wretch were as his quivering flesh hung from the end of that rope can not be known, but had he been a citi- zen of Tombstsne for i've years his last words would have expressed his thankfulness to his executioners for sending him to q climate where town sitter were unknown.
 Yes, money is power" even now these people whose families have been turned into the street are witnessing the specticle of this same crowd trying to defeat the pro posed school tax, trying to bring about the closing of the school for the next year against the families they have already plundered. For what? For the sake of saving themselves the small amount of taxes which they will have to pay if the tax is carried
 And they will defeat it without a doubt. They have beaten the people on every side and at every turn.

Furthermore, it says that Cleveland is responsible for his party and it's policy, and if any i'm peaehment takes place it should be the impeachment of the president In lieu of impeachment it recommends the repudiation of all the opponents of silver at the polls at the next na- tional convention.
