Energy in Advertising.

Thoroughness, industry and tact are
necessary in writing and keeping up
series of paying announcements. Read
ers nowadays demand variety in what
they read, whether it be in their literary
matter, their news or their ADVERTISE
ments. Monotony tires them. Brevity
and spice are absolutely essential to sue
cess in advertising. Every merchant
can, with profit, study the methods en-
ployed by large advertisers i'll attracting
attention to their wares. It is not neces-
sary that the style Of any one of them be
copied literally, but points can be Sc
cured from each and all which will be
of assistance in working up series Of
remunerative announcements. Each adj
vertiser should use such suggestions as
come in his way for all there is in them,
adapting them to his own particular
needs. Above all things never advertise
your competitor by scolding about him.

return you can for your money. Don't

on the topics announced, Scripture,
Prayer and Faith as the three mightest
weapons of the W. G. T. u, associating
the idea OF work with each one as scrip

the desired results, Mrs. Emma Haines

MORLEY ON THE STUMP.
HE ADDRESSES HIS CONsrIrU-
ENTs AT NEWCASTLE.

Balfour's Arguments in His Recent
Speeches as Misrepresentation and
Irrelsvant-Reoent Reform Measures
Based on Suggestions from the Part
nellites-rhe Responsibility for Coer-
cion Put on Balfour.
LONDON, Oct. 20.-John Morley addressed
his constituents in Newcastle tonight. He
said he had promised. when at leisure, to
write history of England from 1888 to the
next general election, but he despaired of
being able to please Secretary Balfour in
so doing. Secretary Balfour's arguments
in his recent speeches were mainly misrep-
resentations and irrelevant.
PARNELLITE SUGGESTIONS.
The speaker reminded Secretary Balfour
that compensation for the disturbance bill
OF 1880, The arrears bill of 1882 and the
tramways bill Of 1888 were all due 20
Parnelltes suggestions, and that the land
bill of 1887 was drafted on the basis Mr..
Parnell suggested in 1885, As late as last
July Secretary Balfour said In the House
OF Commons: 81 think the member for
Cork's Suggestions worthy of most attsn-
tive consideration"
MoRLEY's TRIPS 70 IRELAND.
Secretary Balfours statement that lie,
(Mr. Morley had been only five days in
Ireland, would not be a bad Joke if true, but
it was absolutely untrue. In addition to
bearing the burden Of the whole Irish de-
partment during that session Of parliament,
doing laborious and incessant work on the
home rule and land bills, and taking part in
two election contests in Newcastle, during
his term of Office he had visited Ireland at
Easter and Whitsuntide, and the final visit
itself exceeded five days.
CoERcIvE GOVERNMENTS.
Secretary Balfour was responsible for the
exceptional coerciVe government and he
ought still more to supervise it on the spot.
lie wanted to defer replying to the Bel
fast structures until he had time to sft
them, merely remarking that the liberals
had appointed "A commission of inquiry into
the Belfast riots, while Secretary Balfour
bad no commission TO inquire into the
troubles at Mitchellstown. He denied that
he was prejudiced against the police, and
said that Secretary Balfour himself had
done him the justice re emily to say he had
never said word against them.
EXCESSIVE FORCE IN TIPPERARY.
Mr., Morley referred to his previous asser-
tion that the police had used excessive force
in TIpperary. 1t was not bodily injury
which Secretary Balfour said sticking
plaster would mend, but the sting of insult
which inflamed the people. Such super
cilious talk showed that Secretary Balfour
was unit to govern. He declined
to reply to Secretary Balfour's.invitatio to
express an opinion as to the innocence or
guilt Of the Tipperary prisoners before their
trial. He left that to Secretary Balfour.
For himself he would not decide until the
prisoners had been tried by a judge and
jury as they would be tried under the same
circumstances in England.

LONDON, Oct 81. A. M.-The Chronicle
says: "The style of political oratory
adopted by Secretary Balfour and Mr..

WITHDRAWALS OF TOBACCO.
The Treasury Decides That Reweigh-
ing Is Not Permissible.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-Applications have
been made to the treasury department by
importers who had tobacco in bonded ware
houses prior to the passage OF the act of
Oct l. 1890 for permission to withdraw the
same at the weights as ascertained at the
time Of said withdrawal These applica-
tions are based on the second proviso of
section SCOT the tariff act which prescribes
than when duties are based on the weight Of
merchandise deposited in any public or pri-
vate bonded house, said duties shall be levied
and collected upon the weight Of such mer-
chaudise at the time of its withdrawal.
ASST. sEoY. sPALDING's OPINION.
Assistant Secretary Spaulding says that
after careful consideration of the matter
the department is of the opinion that such
applications cannot be granted, inasmuch as
under the first proviso Of said section a
special privilege is conferred upon merchau-
disc which, like tobacco, is subject to in
creased duties under the new tariff act OF
allowing it to be withdrawn for coasump-
tion any time prior to Feb. l next upon the
payment of the duty at the lower rates
prescribed by the old tariff act.
REwEIGHING NOT PERMISSIBLE.
Mr.. Spaulding says further: "Merchan-
disc subject to increased duty under tho
new tariff act is thus entitled to withdra val
at the old rates, which are lower than tho
new rates, and consequently it must be held
that withdrawal entries for the consump-
tion of such merchandise made prior to
Feb. /. 1891, must cover the same quality
of merchandise as to weights as il the
entries had been made prior to the date when
the act of Oct. l. $780, took effect, in other
words the department must decide that
when an importer shall elect to withdraw
his naarHhanAfda r,n1aF tho Erat .,f,
reweighing az the time of withdrawal can
not be allowed, for the reason that the
goods so withdrawn by virtue thereof must
be treated as exclusively subject TO the pro-
visions of the law in force prior to the
passage Of said act.n
