WIDE AWAKE!
What a name for a boys

paper for boys and girls if it
fits the name! 1t does. You

The easy thing is to shoot a

or into blood and thunder on
one side or twaddle on the
other.
WIDE AWAKE has a different
aim. Neither stilted nor baby
ish. Clean, healthful, cheer
full. Full Of just the pictures
and reading a bright, full
blooded boy or girl cares for.
Spirited, sparkling, never a
dull page, and never anything
to make the most careful
mamma hesitate.
Take the December num-
Der. N5HeDp-9ne pages apart

thousand more people a day
with even less crowding than
heretofore. If we could serve
10000 a day last year we can
now serve $4,000 and more.
and do it comfortably too.
We are always improving.
II we were to keep on printing
about it, we could make per-
petual CELEBRATION sales.'' You
may expect improvements
here constantly without our
talking about them.
The store is more a store
now than ever. Lighter,
brighter, cOmpleter. Our ideal
is being realized.
The Basement has ample
outlets and is more convenient.
The first floor is so arranged
that things can be more easily
found, and is regulated to pre-
vent overcrOwding by a system
which experience has taught us.
The second floor, now so
accessible and popular, pre-.
sents an entirely new arrange
ment of stocks. This part of
the store seems to be miles of
bewildering pleasure. An ever
varying exhibition of silver
and art articles. In the middle
of the second floor the centre
of attraction in the Pneumatic
lube System, gathering the
money from all parts Of the
store in plain view of every
bOdy-a good place to take
strangers.
The third floor is where we
keep Furniture store. The
whole Of this two acres is given
up to Furniture. And every
thing is side by side for com
parisOn, and not on different
floors as before, and as other
folks have it.
1t would be hard not to fal
in love with the store now un
der its new conditions. There
is certainly room for IO,oOc
more persons. See if yol
don't think SO when you looI
at the Strengthened aisles, the
broadened, easy-going stair
ways, the spaces given to Gus
toners for elbOw-room, or t.
wait for elevators, or to set
things.
The store is a sight, that's
fact; working up to-day to it
full capacity; "a great and in
teresting occasion" as th'
newspaper reporters woulc
put it.
The life Of a year of prepar

From our regular correspondent.
wAsHISGroN, March ?, 1883.
The last democratic combination
is one that should interest every old
soldier. 1t has been entered into by
members of the House of Repre-
sentatves for the purpose OF pre-
venting the Dependent Pension bill
from being voted upon when II gets
before that body 1t is said here
that Cleveland himself requested
the formation of this combination
in order to prevent his having to
either veto or sign this bill just on
the eve of Presidential election.
The tactics to be adopted in the
House TO accomplish the defeat of
this bill will include 6lIibustering
of all sorts by the members of this
cowardly combination. Cleveland
talks to Grand Army men whom
he meets as though he would sign
this bill should it pass while at the
same time he is probably chuckling
to himself to think that his friends
will rvyeut vote beng taken on
it. This is all the more cowardly
from the fact that few democrats in
the House, with the exception of
those from the south, Will dare TO
record their votes against such a
measure. The republicans of the
House however, although in the
minority, will probably be able to
defeat this well laid scheme TO de
prive the preseryers of the Union
of their well earned pensions.
Senators Paddock, Of Nebraska,

to those who served in the war with
Mexico or (for forty days. in any Of
the Indian wars.
1t seems that the sudden change
Of mind which came over certain
members Of the democratic commit
tee Ia regard to pleasing Cleveland
as 10 the time of holding the nom
mating convention, cost a gnodIy
sum of hard cash, IN addition TO an
almost unlimited number of prom
ises of patronage. Rumor says that
the amount paid was over $4,000
and that it was all furnished by Mr..
W. l.. Scott, the millionaire Con
gresham from Pennsylvania, aud
conf dental friend Of Cleveland.
The Oklahoma territory bill, now
pending before the House, is being
anlagonized by toe friends Of sub
sutule which provides for negotla-
ton with the Indians before taxing
possession Of any part OF their ter
NJ ny.
The President will get another
chance to veto the bill to quiet the
title of settlers To the De7 Moiues
River lands The House committee
on Public Lands have agreed to re-
port the blll favorably and it is
almost sure to pass.
Democratic newspapers have been
assuring their readers that Mr.. Ran.
dali, Of Pennsy wanna, would sup
port the tariff bill proposed by the
majority Of the Ways and Means
Committee as soon as it was placed
before the House. Now when the
bill is about ready, Mr.. Raudal's
intimates announce that he is en-
gagged in framing tariff bill Of his
own, which he proposes to cifer IA
soon as completed.
The Pennry lvanian will be sure
to have some followers from his
side of the House, which makes it
ex tremely dogb;fui whether the low
tariff democrats can succeed ia get
ting their bill passed even by the
House. OF course it is doomed To
defeat in the Senate should it ever
reach that body.
Senator Sherman, from the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations has re
ported to the Senate the bill TO
amend the acts relating to Chinese
emigration. lie proposes IS soon as
practicable to cal 1t up for action
in the Senate, The bill provides
that the words "Chiuese laborer"
and "Chlnese passenger" shall be
held to include and to mean any
person of the Chinese race without
regard to the government to which
the Chinese may owe allegiance, or
to the port, place or country from
which they come. Other sections
of the bill relate to the return of
Chinese laborers who have left this
country and to the issuance of GER
uficates to those leaving.
BY request of the Home Market
Club of Boston, Mr.. Long, of Mass
achusetts, has introduced in the
House tariff bill which read justs
the sugar duty aud gives bounty
for the production of American beet
and maple sugar, reduces the tax on
tobacco so per cent, and removes
the tax from distilled spirits With,
drawn from bonded warehouses, for
use in the arts.
