Worth a Thought

1t is safe to assert that
there isn't a day passes but
hundreds of dollars, to say
the least, are expended In
this city for furniture and
house decorations. If not
expended judiciousIy, then
poorly spent, and if not
disbursed in the light Of all
possible economy then not
expended judiciously. The
papers contain daily coun-
sci Of the best prudence,
and this house is among the
rest in saving suggestions"
But it takes much and free
quent argument to influence
some minds and often the
most forcible kind of logic.
Yet sometimes a gentle hint
will kindle productive re-
Election, and that is the hint
we here aim to impart.
Worth a thought? Yes,
it is worth a long, large
thought that whether you
are buying strictly season
able goods, such as Baby
Carriages, Refrigerators,
Water Coolers, Bed Cano-
pies, Lace Curtains, Gauze
Hangings, &C., or whether
you would be induced to
invest in Furniture, Car
pets, Rugs. Tapestries, Por-
there's and so forth and so
on, bro0iaed there were
ample considerations Of
prices. We wish to stamp
indelibly upon your mind
the fact that as ample as is
our spacious store we are
are equally ready to extend
to the wise and iar-seeing
investor Of cash considera- :
tions OF price just as ample
and abundant.
All this means that we
are selling goods very cheap.
Isn't this worth a thought !?

applied 10 Mr. Blaine by members Of
the Rump Parliament, who are snaFling
at the havoc his too frequent letters on
the Mckinley bill are making with their
political prospects. The implication Of
fraud and falsehood implied Ia the
borrowed epithet will not escape notice
by readers of the Herald The readi-
ness Of these men 10 slur their political
idol Of a few years ago is an evidence
Of the depth OF their sudden bitterness
aEaiHst him.
They might have forgiven his reel
pTocity letter 10 the President, the
sting Of which was largely blunted BY
the necessary pTOpFleties Of Official
language. In the absence Of a written
record Of his language In the room Of the
Senate Committee on Appropriations,
June 10, and less than six weeks ago,
they might, with his own assistance,
perhaps have denied the Herald eX-

A Just. CLAIM

There is one claim which The col1red
T,ople Of tbis District could fairly make
atttis time. and in making which they
would have the sympathy anil support
Of all con lstent Republicans. They
could and they should demand that
Congress enact a law giving representa-
lion in its own body and on the Board
Of District Commissioners to the city Of
Washington or, perhaps the District
Of Columbia.
The colored people form a very large
proportion Of the population here
Very likely. it we exclude the numer.
ous Department clerks, who reia n
their voting domicil 10 the States from
which they were appointed, and the
many hundreds of fashionablcs, who

be said TO be in the ma

desirable voter here II the Republican
party is so welded to the scheme Of
making him dominate the polls 10 the
Southern States, what can be The pos
sibie objection to endowing him with
the suffrage here
We suggest to the perspiring patriots
who assemble at Carson's Hotel, on the
Avenue, and load the air with eloquence
and other things these summer nights,
that they seize this opportunity to sub
nit their claims. Unless the Repub-
lican leaders are simply befoolng them,
using them as stalking horses In pro.

THE National Tribune, the Washington
organ q the pension sharks, or, rather Of

loud bugle call as follows:
Comrades, a long, long step has been

grid up our loins FOR a vigorous battle for
the remainder OF our rights-the passage
Of the Prisoners Of War bill, the repeal OF
the Limitation TO Arrears, the Equalization
Of Bouuiies aud the National Tribune per

Commenting on this cheerful yell for
Fat, the New York Herald observes that
''the repeal Of the limitation 10 arrears
would cost s47l 3G5, 4OO. The equalization
Of bouutiCs will amount 10 Sl6l ,543,G34.

The Boston Herald a democratic
free trade journal commenting o n
the wool market says:
"The wool market is more quiet,
as indeed it was to be expected that
it would be. The position of stocks
is not favorable to a heavy trade,
neither can the most proserous
manufacturers be expected to buy
wool every week in the year. In
the first place they have bought
very heavily of late, and it is natu-
raj to suppose that there would be
a limit to their buying somewhere.
In the next place the turn in polit-
ical affairs is not at all pleasing to
such manufacturers as have banked.
a great deal on the features of the
Mckinley tariff. They see a little
cloud in the horison, where it may
have looked very clear the day be-
fore election. In fact, it is post
ivly known that one or two manu-
facturers who had planned for the
enlargement Of their mills have de-
cided to wait awhile. While there
is not the slightest possibility in
the minds of these manufacturers
that the Mckinley tariff can be re-
pealed during the administration OF
President Harrison, yet these man.
ufacturers do not care to enlarged
mills that are not, by any possible
chance to be desirable after a per.
iod of two years."
And yet this is the same McXin,
ley bill that is to ruin the people
particularly the farmers. Under
the beueficient influences of the
Mckinley bill manufacturers "hae
planned for the enlargement o
their mills" which meant tn,
employment of more men, the pur
chase of more wool. Now that tn,
democrats r declaring they viii
repeal the Mckinley bill, thes'
manufacturers shave decided t
, wait awhile. Among the fruits q
/; the democratic victory are: I. TIL
. delayed enlargement of mills
!, Which means no greater dcman'
for labor. 2 No greater deman,
for woods.
