With the regularity of natures

new bargains. Does IL ever occur
to our readers that no other estab-
lishment i'm Maine possesses such
a variety Of goods as WEI Does il
seem strange that day i'm and day

and from month to month, and
year to year, we can, without any
repetition. offer for sale entirely
new goods and give our customers
the benefit of our purchases
Smaller dealers buy occasionally
and seldom, IL ever, visit the mar
ket or place of manufacturer, but
order by mail; consequently less
able to buy to advantage than we,
who are often buying the entire
production of a season, which
makes it imperative that we must
be on the ground almost constant
ly. Thus from our position we
are able to do better by those who
patr0nize us than it is possible for
them TO do elsewhere.

Oregon and Colorado, which are chased as Republican, and Nevada (doubtful), may pos sibly go Democratic, and Califor- mia, chased as doubtful, is almost sure to go Democratic. The Dem ocrats have 1S9 votes sure, and with strong probability of car rying the entire Pacific coast through the great popularity of Thurman, and also the same doubtful states carried by them in 1884.

The following story regarding
 our delegate to congress is going
 the rounds of the territorial press.
 It is from the columns of the New
 York Tribune: When Marcus A.
 Smith, the handsome delegate
 from Arizona, first came to Wash ington he wore a soft felt hat with a wide brim and a turned down collar with a flowing necktie. His indifference to the quality or fit of his garments was a matter of comment among his colleagues. But all this is changed since he took quarters in fashionable hotel and became a society man." The other evening he was stand ing in the lobby of the Ebbitt House smoking cigarette. He was dressed with great care in the height of fashion. His silk-faced Prince Albert coat was closely buttoned, and he wore bouton- niere of violets in the lapel. Un- der the Piccadilly collar appeared the bow Of a white lawn necktie, and upon his head was a new silk hat. He held buff gloves and a cane in his left hand, and toyed with a cigarette with bis right. A friend came presently along, and seeing him, stopped suddenly and eyed him from head to foot. "Great Scott, Smithr he ex- claimed, "what would your folks down in Tombstone say if they could see you now7 And smoking e cigarette, too! I will write description of your present ap- pearance, and see that 1t IS pub Iished down there" "The cigar cite is all right" said Smith, care lessly. "Everybody down. that way smokes cigarettes. l. is d Spanish and Mexican custom They would not mind that. of course; but for heavens sake | don't mention the plug hat. They wouldn't stand that"

The supreme court of California has affirmed the decision of the lower court in the case of Dr. J. Milton Bowers, who was convicted of the murder of his wife by pois- oning. The case, a remarkable one, owing to the prominence of the man, recently had added to it fl very sensational feature in the supposed suicide of Henry Ben hayon, brother of the murdered woman. and the finding of writ ten document purporting to be a confession by Benhayon that he was tue oHe who committed the crime. Circumstances, however, strongly pointed toward foul play, resulting finally in the arrest of a mau by the name of Dimmig on a charge of killing Benhayon.

Because the Republicans car ried the election in Oregon last week by a majority said to be any where between 5000 and 4,000, Republican papers claim that the increased majority, which those figures show, is due entirely to the tariff issue, and therefore that the Oregon election may be put down as first blood" for the pro- tectionists. The two largest in terests in Oregon are lumber and wool, and the tariff men. have worked them into perfect fer ment of fear and anxiety by the usual methods which have proved so successful in the hands of pro- tectionists when dealing with ignorance backed up by selfish ness and greed Under these con- ditions it is not surprising that the election in Oregon resulted as it did. Tariff agitation unques- tionably had a great deal to do with the increased Republican majority, but it scarcely had as much as the protectionists pretend to believe. Oregon has always been Republican state in rela- tion to national politics, and for the past eight years each succeed ing election there has developed an increased strength in the Re publican ranks. The smallest vote cast in that state was in 1880. when the Republican and Demo- cratic parties were nearer together numerically than they have ever been since. At that election there were 2O.619 Republican and 19.94S Democratic votes cast. Two years later (not a presidential election) the Republican vote was 22,517 and the Democratic 19,152. In 1884 Ia presidential year) the Re publican vote was 25.690, Demo- cratic 23,652. Two years later (another off year, the Republican vote was 26,91S, Democratic 25, ,2S3. In 1884, when the full strength of each party was developed, the Re publican majority was 2,047 votes, which figures, allowing for the natural increase in voting capaci- ty, may be taken as the normal strength and standing of the two parties. Now admitting that the tariff has exercised that influence which the Republicans claim. what does it show! Almost nothing. For the frightening of 75O Demo crats into voting the Republican ticket would give the majority which the Republicans now claim. When it IS remembered that the total vote of Oregon is 52,6S2 these 750 frightened Democratic votes make bad showing after all the labor and money expended to keep the Oregon voter in darkness and dread. If the Republicans, when they start out to secure Democratic votes with such an In- fallible hook and line as they claim the tariff to be, can do no better than to catch one out of every twenty-seven or twenty eight Democratic votes they throw it to, they had better abandon the attempt. They would show more wisdom and better judgment to look after their party interests in Michigan, where the Democrats have taken hold of their bait-box and are playing the mischief with the Republican fish. Oregon is credited with being the most be- nighted state in the union; there fore its decision on the tariff qnes- tion amounts to nothing. Wait until the intelligent farmers of Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa have spoken.-GaIveston (Te1.) News.
