A Few Cardinal Points.

The mushroom is not happy emblem of a permanent and healthy growth. In the world of trade there are frequently mushroom mer chants, whose gay signs and startling an nouncements for a time seem to turn the heads of the purchasing public, but their temporary customers realize that what they have bought is indeed cheap and-good for nothing. The lesson to be learned by such experiences is an important one. Always re- member that we have reliable, permanent home merchants, whose words are good as any mans bond and when yon want dry goods, buy them in full confidence that they will prove as represented in every instance. l It is this invariable rule-good goods at low prices-that has built up the successful and popular firm of W. B. Hall X Co. It is \ this infiexible rule-popular prices, polite at | tention to all and square dealing as depicted on their sign-boards as the "cardinal points" of their business, that has now driven them to nearly double the capacity of their great store, and add & monster elevator to convey Icustomers from the cellar floor to the asky parlor," four full stories Of course MT Hall l is a liberal advertiser-somc old fogy cotem- poraries have called him "reckless''-but he has proven the truth of F. T. Barnum's prov erb .sAdvertise and the shillings will come to your door," And the constantly increasing patronage at w. B. Hall < Co.'S. doubling
 
 itself from year to year, till his store now re- quires enlarging to hold the car loads of new goods required to meet the increasing drain upon his stock, proves Mir Halls wisdom in the vast but judicious advertising he has re- sorted to. This might have been different if he hadn't always had the goods in stock that he so advertised. but the tags and stocks in variably correspond with the descriptions . and prices giveu in the newspapers.
 A merchant may humbug the community
 once with some bogus bargain sensations but it is that merchants death -kne.l-the "doe l has ,his day." It wont work again. w. B. l Hall < Co. are always on the alert for large : invoices of goods to be had for cash at less ! than manufacturers prices, and these they . rush of at nominal profit, giving tlseil friends and patrons from tar and near the
 benefit of their own advantages over the mar kcts of the world.

The Advertising Fair.

Last weeks storm cleared away, or, rather, ceased for season, just in time for the advertising fair and festival at the Town Hall, Thursday afternoon and evening. The ladies of the Congrega- tional aid society, who had devoted them selves so assidoously to the task of prep. aration, were oyerjoyed to find that rain did not fall and were all smiles to the visitors who, notwithstanding the threat ening weather and the almost impossible condition of the roads, came in fiocks.
 At 30 p m, when the fair commenc- ed, goodly number were in attendance and the throng. ever changing, was in creased IS supper time drew nigh. From 6 30 until after 9, the pretty waitresses were kept busy at the supper tables, while those at the confectionery and fancy goods departments were none the less busy. A thoroughly enjoyable occasion it was to all, while, as q financial sue cess, it was unprecedented, S226 being cleared.

TURF WINNINGS.

The Fast Horse Donovan.

Ono Hundred Thousand Pounds Ahead
The Fast Horse Donovan.
New York special: The Tribune's Lon
don cable special from Edmund Yates says
The wonderful luck of the Duke OF Port
land has apparently not been exhausted
for Donovan's victory in the Lancashire
plate brings the total of the dukes win
nings since the beginning of last season up
to within a fraction OF f10O, GOO, oil
which sum Donovan has contributed nearly
one-half.
Donovan's has been q striking career,
quite putting into the shade that of Ayr.
shire, who won about f4S 600 in the
course OF his three seasons, whereas Dono.
van, who apparently still has a long and
prosperous future before him. has already
placed about 955. 900 to his owners credit.
He won eleven races out of thirteen as a
two.year old, and this season, save for his
fluky defeat in the Two Thousand Guineas,
he carried all before him, winning the
Prince Of Wales stakes OF ELI, 900 at
Leicester, the Newmarket stakes, the
Derby, the Prince of Wales stakes al Ascot,
Doncaster, st. Ledger and the new Lam
cashire plate, winning them all easily, too.
His last achievement was probably his
best, for Chitabob was SO lame that he
could hardly hobble to the Doncaster sta
ton the week before. He came round with
surprising rapidity and was well suited by
the seven ~furlongs at Manchester.

FOR FOREIGNERS.

There is one feature that should not be
overlooked about the bold and dastardly
attempt by the Republican managers to
disfranchise 400 American citizens at
Anaconda, and that is, every single man
is of foreign birth, and a large percent
age of them are Irishmen. This only
c~orrob0rates what The MINER has re-
peatsdly urged, that the Republican
party has no use for a foreign-born citi-
zen, except a Chinaman; and that of all
foreigners the Irishman is the most de-
spised by that party. The Republican
party gave up the hope long ago of
making Republicans out of Irish ma
terial, and hence they have waged a war
of political determination against them
with q vindictiveness that is ~disgraceful
to the freedom and liberality Of our in
situations. 1t is true that there are
some good Irish Republicans, but as a
rule they do not belong to the working
classes. The Democratic party is dis
tinctively, emphatically and unmistaka-
bly, the workingman's party, regardless
of nationality, and workingmen recog-
nizing this fact entrust their welfare
to its sacred keeping. In. fact, take
the workingmen from the Democratic
party and there wouldn't be a corporal's
guard left. Foreign representation on
any Republican ticket which we have
seen is even more unusual than a
January thunder storm in Montana.

TRUSTS.

The late Iowa Republican state conven
tion resolved sin favor Of protection pro
vided it does not foster trusts"
1t would seem from the protection
clause above quoted that the Republi.
can leaders Of Iowa are not quite will.
ing to 60 the whole hog or none. They
are evidently quite sure that trusts ex.
ist in this country and that they are moi
a very valuable acquisition to it; and
they seem to be considerably disturbed
over the relation which protection may
sustain to them. Fhe distance between
Republican protection" and a trust is
very short and simple; SO much SO, that
even an Iowa Republican ought to have
no difficulty in catching on" A trust
could not exist without the aid Of Re-
publican legislation any more than a
fish could exist in a sand bank. Atrust
exists only because it is protected at the
expense Of all Of those with whom it has
business relations. Labor and the con
sumner pay the trust the price of its pro-
lection and they get nothing in return.
To the extent they enrich the trust they
impoverish themselves. A trust is a
lsgalized monopoly that strangles COM
petition and robs its customers.

Rotten

A queer accident happened near towr
ore night last week. A gentleman hired q
saddle horse Of Bob Springfield to attend
night services at Antioch church. On ar,
irving at the church he hitched the animal
to a tree in the grove near an old we'll,
which was loosely cover.d with rotten
boards, and which escaped his notice in
the darkness. During his absence the
horse, in moving shout, stepped upon the
frail covering and was precipitated to the
bottom Of the well a distance OF twenty
feet. Here he lay, or rather sat upon his
launches until near morning, when by
means of a rope and pulley he was rescued
from his very uncomfortable position.
Strange to say, the animal, though badly
bruised, sustained no serious injuries.
