4 late ruling of the post-oillce depart
ment says hereafter all uncalled for

AS the warm weather of summer
draws near, people will begin contemp-
lating making various purchases which
the season requires. When money is
to be spent, the prudent will cast about
them for the best chance to spend it
to advantage. TO such persons, the pru-
dent, it is common thing to read the
ads. in each issue of their home paper.
When there is bargain to be had,
these persons know it and take advan-
tage Of it. With the same income
that some people have who are always
hard up, these persons are in easy
circumstances. a person who does
not read the ads. in the paper is as wise
as the merchant who does not give
them chance.
The Michigan prohibitionists do not
expect to carry the country until 1892.
Their programme is.to nominate Fisk
this year and have him defeated, as
Fremont was in 1856, then nominate
Dickie in 1892 and have him.. elected i'll
1892, as Lincoln was in 1860. The
theory is as good as Captin Bobadil's-
if it can be made TO work; but it is
questionable if Fisk will quite ike it.
When he hears that the country is to be
carried four years hence for prohibition
he may prefer to let Dickie run this
year and waive his claims until 1892.
