The FORUM FOR JUNE.-In the
Forum for June, Senator Edmunds
discusses the decay of political morals
indicated by the increasing purchase
of voters. He estimates the amount
of money spent during the last cam
paign at S., 900, 900, and in his criticism
he spares no section of the country
and neither party. Among the reme-
dies that he points out are better reg
istration laws, restriction ofimmigra-
tion and of naturalization, and the
compulsory publication ofelection ex.
penses. Another political article in
this number is s'The Drift toward An
nexation," by w. Blackburn Harte,
an editorial writer for the Toronto
Mail. Mr.. VIM. Elliot Griffis, author
of ''The Mikado's Empire" tells the
leading features of the new cOnstitu-
tiOn of Japan, under which, on Feb.
18th, the government ceased to be an
absolute and became constitutional
monarchy. Thirty-six millions of
subjects were for the first time admit
ted to some of the privileges of eiti-
zenship. Besides these articles about
specific political subjects, there is an
essay by w. S. Lilly, on "The Ethics
of Politics." Mr.. Lilly uses as illus
trative facts the falsehoods of many
great party leaders, and points out
the decline Of nations that has follow
ed loss of political morals. Mr..
Adelbert Hamilton, of New York, a
well-known writer on legal subjects,
presents statistics toshow the unneces-
sary cost reinsurance by reason Of
what is practically a ''trust," main
tanned by the great companies. Rev.
DIR. VIM. Barry describes "The Mo
loch of Monopoly" finding cause to
regard the present methods of the
distribution of property as unjust, and
predicting an industrial revolution.

THINK AND REFLECT.

| 1t behooves those who spend greater
portion of their salary in wearing appar-
ell, household goods, ETC., to study how
and where they can buy to the best ad-
vantage. Cheap, trashy goods, are dear
at half price, in fact, they are dear at
any price. for not only do you get moth
ing for your money, but your time and
labor are likewise lost. During the past
sixteen years, we have worked hard to
build up trade upon a solid foundation
and in so doing have kept nothing but
the best quality of goods, and our
motto from the beginning has been one
price to all. We have always done a
large business, but last year our sales
were far ahead of any previous year and
so far this year we are considerably
ahead of last.
We do not buy worthless goods simply
because they are found cheap, neither
do we use bats or clap-trap advertise
ments to get people to our store, and
charge them more than the regular price
for goods they do not know the value of.
Our business is established upon higher
principles of right and justice. That class
of trade which must be humbugged in
order to sell to, we do not want. They
can go elsewhere our time is occupied
in selling good goods at reasonable prof
its. Look through our stock and see how
clear it is of any common, trashy goods,
and yet everyone knows that we do more
business than any two dry goods stores
in town; this is open to the eyes of the
public and speaks louder than words.
The standard of our stock is higher
than ever and our prices never suited
our trade better. Every one, young or
old, rich or poor, will receive the same
polite attention at our counters. One
price to all, which is the lowest in Mar
tinsburg. or any of the larger cities. Our
store is full of fresh goods for summer
wear, including many new novelties in
dress goods trimmings.

DOES 1T PAY .

Three-fourths of our people are troub-
led with Dyspepsia or Liver Complaint
in some form or other, which by nature
of the disease has depressing influence
on the mind and body, preventing them
from thinking or acting clearly in any
matter of Importance. Indigestion,
coming up of food after eating, dyspep-
STA, sick headache, acidity of the stom-
ach or any arrangement of the stomach
or liver upon which the whole action of
cur system depends) are speedily and eff
fectually overcome by the use of Green S
august Flo,cer. The most stubborn cas-
es have yielded to its influence, as thous-
ands of letters received will testify.

Thursday last, after a long illness of

those of any other, is due the erection
of the Episcopal Church at Ripon, and
that building will stand as a monu-
ment to her good work in the Mas
ter's cause.

WAS IT AN OMEN.-On last Thurs
day, while little George Buchanan,
who was accidentally shot and killed
on Friday, was busying himself at
something in his room, bird enter
ed at the open window and perched
on his shoulder, where it remained
for short time and then disappeared
into the open air. He told his aunt
of the occurrence and also said that
the bird had come for him. She en-
deavored to dispel the matter from
his mind, but in this she failed, and
sure enough, as the sequel showed,
his spirit took flight, as with the bird,
in twenty-four hours after the strange
visitation.
We are, also, informed that the day
preceding the death of Jesse Grimm
which occurred last week, a bird lit
upon the.window sill and endeavored
to get into his room. The coincidence
will, naturally, strengthen the belief
of the superstitious reader, that the
visits of these birds were a premoni-
ton of the deaths that followed
HdgerstOaC7a Globe.
On two occasions last winter, when
we were working in the "wee SINAI
hours" little bird came and futter-
ed against the office window till we
let it into the room. We still live,
and if editors are not more difficult
to kill than other people, please give
US rest on the s'omen" business.
