A Little Talk About
HandkGTChiGfS.

Specially about Hand embroidered Handker-
chiefs. costing 25c to $40 each. II there be the
slightest imperfection the reputable manufac-
turcr dare not send It to his merchant customer
in tho United States, as he well knows thoy
would not be accepted. The retail customer, in
paying full price for handkerchief demands
also that it be perfect. Hence, at the end of
each season, our reputable manufacturer in Bel.
fast, Ireland sends us his "tlrown-outs, ,' or, In
other words his imperfect Hand-embroidered
Handkerohiofs, at a very great concession from
regular prices. At our request, he does this
every August and February, and this is now the
third shipment we have had, and the values are
superb Imperfections arc, in most instances,
so slight as to be noticeable only after a most
handkerchief being unimpaired, either for use
or ornament. As before, we shall give you the
choice of these elegant handkerchefs at 37I6c,
60c. oOc and SI1s each, and promise that you
will he more pleased than with either of the
former lots, on account of the greater range of
variety and style.
We call these sales:
"a FEAST IN HANDKERCHIEFs."
They include all Handkerchefs thrown out
by the overseers for the least imperfection,
such as pin holes in the body of the linen, errors
of learners in following the patterns, drawn
threads mistakes in colors, sc. AS fine hand
embroidered Handkerchlefs are now carried
more as an ornament than for practical use, and
as the imperfectlons in most cases are very
slight In fact, not perceivable when in use, we
think customers will be pleased to buy them at
the prices named, /. e.. half and greatly less
than half the price asked by us for the same
goods when perfect We have divided the
stock into three lots, as follows, and have con-
splcuously displayed them on d0.foot counter,

"kid Democrats of Ohio represent the
Standard Oil in politics. The Combine"
was opposed to Thurman, but they had
to accept him. IF they could "knife"
him without knitting Cleveland, they
would do so. The products OF this trust
are not affected by the tariff.
The Sugar trust. This combine" is
controlled by New York Democrats, and
Havemeyer at the head of the trust, by
his influence and big campaign check,
procured Chairman Mills to change the
Mills bill so as to give sugar greater
protection than it has under existing
laws.
The salt trust, The president of the
Michigan salt trust, the leading salt "com-
bine" in the country, is Wellington r.
Burt, Democratic candidate for governor
of Michigan. Burt was formerly Re-
publican, but lett the Republican party
in 1886. He wrote letter strongly OPP
posing the Mills bill; but he was bought
off by the Democratic nomination for gov
ernsr of Michigan.
The Anthracite coal trust. This is
more properly ring than trust, but its
the same as il were regularly organized
trust 1t owns the hard coal mines and
the railroads that transport coal. It costs
IS cents ton for hard coal at the mines.
The ring charges 81 so to transport it to
Chicago. The price to consumers now
is So ton, which is to be advanced TO
81 rs September /. William L. Scott,
the millionaire Democratic congressman
from the Erie, Pa, district, member. of
the House of Ways and Means committee
(Brice, chairman is the chief manager OF
the hard coal ring. There is no tariff on
hard coal. This powerful "combine,"
charging an enormously extortionate price
for prime necessary of life, controls an
untaxed product, and is strictly Demo
cratic in its management.
The Glass trust. Whether this trust
or combine is under strict Democratic con-
troll can not be definitely settled. But a
large segment of the glass ring has head
quarters at Baltimore, and Congressman
Isador Raynor, Democrat, of course, in
terfered in its behalf, and, by threats to
vote against the Mills bill if the glass tariff
was reduced, caused the present scheme
to be retained. 1t is enough OF Demo-
cratic trust to be represented by Domo-
cratic congressman, and to force an es-
sential feature of the Mills bill to be modi-
fed in accordance with its demands.
These are facts Whenever you scratch
a trust you tickle some member OF the
Democratic party who is working hard
for Cleveland.

CHAUNCEY M. DEPEw received a
reception last week from the Union
League club of New York city, and
speaking of the tariff he said:
president Cleveland says in his letter
to the Democratic clubs that be has es-

pie in the industrial and economical the.-
res, and from my knowledge of twenty
years of the members of the Union League

bis letter of acceptance which explained
it laughter, every time mounting higher
in the notes which sing of the protection
of the American home, Notwithstanding
thestheories and the practices of message
and of letter and of Congressman Mills
bill, I am reminded of that good man
up in Peekskill, who, when the jury
began to inquire how ne murdered bis
wife, found that it was with the frame of
picture that hung above their bed, on
which was worked in worsted ''God Bless
Our Home. Roars Of laughter. Mr..
Depew then discussed the powers Of the
President of the United States, and
declared that he is the greatest
autocrat 10 the world He also re-
TERED to the disfranchisement of the col
ored people in the South, and closed BY
saying that until the negro vote is recog-
nlzed that vote should not be taken iato

ton or ia the count that goes to make up
the total that elects the President of the

The cavalry association showed its az
probation of the fitness Of things when it
chose Henry Harnden for commander.
The man who closed an honorable army
career by capturing Jeff. Davis should
not be without recognition in the state
that sent him to the war.-Ml,oaukee
Journal (Dem.)
Yes, but has The Journal ever thought
OF it that this same Henry Harnden,
"who closed an honorable army career by
capturing JEFF. Davis" was deemed ssun-
worthy to hold Office under the present
administration, and was turned out of the
collectorship of this district by that great
reformer Grover Cleveland, to make room
far A. G. Parkinson, whose most warlike
efforts are made when capturing fat
position from Democratic president?
The capture of JEFF. Davis added moth
ing to Gen. Harnden's laurels in the es-
timation of the powers that control the
present administration at Washington.

Plant a Lombardy Poplar

Professor Asa Gray observed that the
reason which lies at the bottom Of the
general belief on:the continent Of. Europe
that lightning struck the Lombardy pop
lar trees in preference to others iscomipg
to light. Green heritage and green wsod
-sappy wood-are excellent conductors
Of electricity. A tree is shattered by
lightning only when the discharge rssches
the naked trunk Or nsked branches " hich
are poorer conductors. An old fashioned
Lombardy poplar, BY it's height, BY its
complete covering Of twigs and small
branches, and their foliage, down almost
to the ground, and by IT'D sappys wood,
makes capital lightning rod and b cheap
one. Happily no one can patent it and
bring it round in wagon and insist upon
trying it. To make it sarer the tree
should stand in moist ground or near
water, for wet ground is rood conductor
and dry soil poor one. IL ID recon-
mended to plant a Lombardy poplar near
the house and'another close to the barn.
If the ground in dry, the nearer tbe.s we'll
the better. except for the nuisance Of the
roots that will get intolt.-Boston budget,

HENRY GEORGE said, at recent Cleve-
land and Thurman meeting in New York
city:
"I congratulate you on the firm stand
that Cleveland has taken, despite the i'm
mense pressure brought upon him by
small politicians. He has not receded
one inch, not one hairs breadth from the
tree-trade position of his message. The
fight il fully made. To the Democratic
party it is small, practical thing, but
that small, practical thing involves the
greatest of questions. 1t is the beginning
of the end. Let US elect Grover Cleve-
land and we will soon see tariff reform
pass on to free trade, and free trade pass
on to the fuller freedom which is involved
in the single tax"
The above is respectfully submitted
to the Democratic hedgers around here
who insist that Cleveland is not free
