Halloo Central.

Give me, please, Shoninger's Music store. Say Central, wont you please trans. init the message to them-they are such reliable house it is really not even neces- sary to examine their Pianos-that I want them to send me a fine Weber Upright just like the one they sold Miss c, neigh bor of mine. It is justIelegant, both in style finish and tone-and say, Central, tell them I shall expect fine stool and scarf, as a gift, one off the inducements they make for the holidays. Shoninger's is the only company that favors customers in that direction, but the other dealers, poor fellows they are so poor l prefer to buy of reliable house one that I know will be here right along and always | makes every promise good.
 This manner of buying piano may seen 1 queer to some readers, but we assure yor 1 business has been done with us exactly or this plan, while some5S agents chas, customers meeting them at every cross roac in season and more often ssot1t of season until the customers are afraid their com panions will think they are in debt tt the agents. Shoninger by honorable straight forward dealings steps in ant makes the sale. Avoid such::agents. The, are considering your pocketbook more thai the quality of the goods they are trying t, sell you. We have no state agents, n, county agents or town agents, because w combine all that ourselves under one heat Manufacturers and state agents, and saw you at least two profits. Extra induce ments for the holidays.

FUN AHEAD FOR HARRISON.

General Harrison's announcement that he will have nothing to do with the factions in the republican party is un- derstood to refer to New York state principally, though there is probably in it hint to the Blaine people that is as good as a nod to a blind horse. The president-elect probably remembers the wild dive for office that hurried his grandfather from the white house into an early grave, and he sees already in dications that, compared with the pre-
 sent scramble, that saturnalia was but juvenile charivari. It is natural that he should seek to avoid his ancestors fate. but if he continues to spread his peacock feathers too wide he may find his bag
 gage checked four years in advance for an excursion up Salt river in 1892. There Is hardly a state where the republican party is not split up in factions, and their hostility to each other is sharpened now by the sight of the spells dangling at the belt of the president-elect.
 Nevertheless General Harrison will build wisely for himself if he can steer safely between the Scylla and Charybdis that loom up before him in the factiOnal : fight that is being waged in New York state in the interests of Warner Miller and Tom Platt respectively. It was just such fight that wrecked Garfeld's ad- ministration and forged the bullet that sped from Guiteau's pistol, though the hn hi instead of for cabinet portfolio. The Blaine-C Conkling feud that was Garfeld's doom was scarcely less bitter than thai which is now agitating the republicans of New York. It is regarded ominou' by many that General Harrison's admin istration should be thus early threatened with the dissensions that made Garfield brief term such a conspicuous failure, bu the disposition he evinces to keep him self aloof from the factional element may possibly carry him safely througl the breakers ahead
 If New Works big four cannot han monize their difficulties and stif1e thei iealousies sufficiently to relieve Geners Harrison of the necessity of taking sides it is possible the empire state may b passed by in the formation of the cal met. Here would be state of things indeed, and one that would make mai ters lively for the next four years. Wit Blaine left out in the cold and chain under the slight of man for whom had made it possible to become president with John Sherman at the head of tn state department, and the treasury port folio also in the hands of a western mar

FROM the report, just published, of the Michigan bureau of laboP and industrial statistics, it appears that the total num- Der of men now employed in the copper mines is 5,516, of whom but 631 are American born and but 82 more are the offspring of American parents. The English miners are in the ascendant in many respects. They are the most nu- merous, and earn, excepting the Scotch, the highest wages. They con stitute the largest number of bank depos itors and send proportionately the least amount of money out of the country they make better provision for theil families than any other nationality, anC subscribe for nearly twice as many news papers as their American fellow-wOrk men, who are reported as earning tho smallest wages of any of the nationalitie employed in the miners. Michigan seems to be unique in this kind O American inferiority.

IN taking time by the front hair the executive committee of the national as sociation of democratic clubs are laying the foundations for victory four years hence. And in declaring that the battle will be fought on the same lines as last month and that the work of education should go right on they are building rightly. A little better education on the civirserVSsA question also might not b' amiss. If they watch Harrison's admin istration closely they will probably ge all the latter they need.

General Harrison's administration would be a good deal like the experience of a man trying to ride kicking broncho with a chestnut burr under the saddle. It would be fun for the democrats, but it would be gloomy business for liar, fison.
