lone of the most peculiar things
about the Barge exhibition" writes q
friend from New York. lis to hear the
comments of the sight seers on the An
gelus. To Judge from the comments on
the size of the painting, one might inn
agine that the visitors expected TO see q
panorama Ut Bunker Hill or the Battle
Of Gettysburg. The huge of
V~erestchagin, which were exhibited last
spring. and the size Of Munkacsy's cele-
brated work. had prepared many of the
visitors to find a i0x7 or some canvas of
nearly these proportions. What! That
little thingr is sometimes the remark
with which the wonderful creation Is
greeted by disappointed sight seers.
There is another class who are o rep
rehensible because they have come with
a determination to admire the picture at
all events, little or big, good or bad.
They will stand as e rs they can get
to the crimson ropes which keep the
crowd away from the painting, and in q
voice which Is meant to be soulful and

An Ingenious System.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railway system is about to test an
ingenious train signal which has been
invented by a young man in Ohio,
which train men claim will make col
lisions an impossibility. It's object is
to indicate, in connection with the
mile posts, the length oftime that has
elapsed since the last train passed
whereby the engineer may run a safe
distance behind and avert the danger
Of following too close. A lever pro-
iects in close proximity to therail and
is operated by the passing train, by
which means piece of mechanism is
set in motion, marking time on a dial
placed in a position where the en-
gineer can distinctly see it by night or
day, and will tell within twenty min
utes of the time the preceding train
passed. 1t works correctly whether
thespeed beslow or fast. Theindica-
tor is set by the first truck wheel OF
the locomotive and the register of
time commences as soon as the train
has passed.

There is more stirring among
the Carpets than ever before.
You will buy a Carpet; you must.
We are confident of selling it to
you. That's the sort of confidence
we place in our stock and in you.
We speak of the merit of the
Carpets first; next, the style; next,
the price. Merit is more precious
than style; style more precious than
price. Wealth shouldn't be more
precious than name. Most folks
figure the other way. Our bust
ness is to figure with both.
We have the style without name.
Unknown makers copy from known
makers. The business of carpet
making has degenerated to that.
So has carpet-selling. It has been
a profitable effort. You have en-
couraged it. You may keep on if
it suits you, but be careful that you
are not charged for limitations, the
price of the real. Merchants are
not above doing such tricks as that.
The most pleasing Moquettes in
the land, Smiths, the best, is the
only make sold here. Prices .36

be you cannot tell a Body Brussels
from a Tap can you? How
many of you have bought ''Tap"
for a Body Brussels and paid s1.1O

for it except by trading where such
tricks are never thought of.
Ingrains, wool, best, 60c, Csc and

The Next Electoral Vote.

The admission of Idaho and Wy
oming will add six more votes to the
Electoral College, making the total
number 400. Of these the Republic
ans can count upon 2O1, or only ten
short of a majority, without includ-
ing either Indiana or New York. That
is to say they can elect theme presi-
dent by carrying Indiana, evenif they
should lose New York but they will
most likely carry both Indiana and
New York making their total electoral
vote 252, or forty-one more than a
majority Globe Democrat.

The Bennett Law.

WATERFOWL, April 20, 1890.
Editor Republican: In your number
of Jan. 15 you printed an article in
regard to the Bennett law, in which
you say that the opponents of the
Bennett law had begun their deadly
work against said law, but that they
resorted to all sorts of misrepresenta-
tons. Furthermore, you, as we'll as
The Chicago Times, to which you have
reference, proclaim that the oppon-
ents could not, nor can in the future,
expect to succeed in their campaign
by such questionable methods of ~
ing and misrepresentation.
Now, whether these 'scandalous &C
cusations originated in your own
mind or in that of the editor of The
Chicago Times, matters little. The
form and manner in which you pub
lish this brief but very offensive arti-
Gle to your readers, makes it your
own. But, Mr.. Editor, is it not a per-
feet outrage that in the great republic
of the United States peaceful, lawful
and Industrious citizens are fired at
from all sides with such malicious
charges, if they speak and write not
only for their civil, but also for their
religious liberty?
However, the article above men
toned was not the only one you have
published on this subject, but you
haverepeatedly printed similar state
ments, speaking of the Germans as if
they were people not able to take care
of themselves, but have to be looked
after by the Bennett law. And again,
in your last number, you have an ar
ticle written by Mr.. Hugh Ryan, a
prominent Democrat, AS you say.
Now, whether Mr. Hugh Ryan is a
prominent and IL Influential Democrat,
We do not know, nor do we intend TO
dispute it. Nevertheless, we wish to
say that the mere fact of his being a
son of chief justice does surely not
make him prominent and influential,
and such statements have very little
influence on us. 1t appears to us, too,
as if his prominence had no marked
influence during the spring election.
Most probably, however, you pub
lished the article of Mr.. Hugh Ryan
in order to demonstrate to your read
ere that the principles of the Germans
in regard to theso-called Bennett law
will not be approved of by the entire
Democratic party in the fall cam
paign. Well, Mr.. Editor, we know
very well that there are some ardent
supporters of the Bennett law, or
school cranks, as The Nation says in
the last weeks number, in the Demo-
cratic party. On the other hand, we
also know just as positively that
