fitted by the same. We always try to put
the market before you so that it will do
the most people the most good. We are
sorry to tell You that Flour has advanced

waited. We ask those who take pride in
using good Coffee to get some Of our Old
Holland Java, or buy from us some Of
Chase and Sanborn's Java and Mocha
these Coffees are the best the land pro
duces. We have just received a consign-
ment Of our usual good Tea; there is no
better Tea known for the money than
what you get from us. We are glad to
say to you who use and want good, pure

Tie SOeatheY today IS likely

More than fifty styles of
Brandenburgs now on the
counters. One of the newest
has white figures on garnet
ground. Another has stripes
on a blue ground. The line
of light colors is again COM
plete and fuller than ever.
Beautiful Brandenburgs I!
Exquisite in printing, artistic
in coloring, but the peculiar
charm is in the stuff itself.
Touch 1t: smooth as silk. Not
a lump or knot or scraggly
place on the delicate surface.
But not hint of weakness /!
Try to tear bit-warp or
wool way, no odds which.
Nothing slimpsy there. Just
as the polish of culture and
good breeding lifts a man or
woman above the common,
so the perfect make and finish
lifts the Brandenburgs above
other cottons. Rivals? Yes
about as a "farthing dip"
rivals an arc light. The
wonder of wonders is that
Brandenburgs are only 20 cents

THE census officials Of New York city
have applied for police protection for
the enumerators. The police authorities
answered that police protection will be
provided within the law" That means
that when some irate lady, of the.Tenth
ward, to whom an enumerator shall have
put question number twenty-five, throws
the enumerator from the stoop and sends
the skillet full of hot grease after him

corner in time to call an ambulance
and send him to the hospital.
If the enumerators know what is good
for them they win be very prudent il
asking some Of those offensive questions
and frequently they will forget them
The information that the government
viii gain will not be accurate or useful
and in the majority of cases, even if th'
questions are put and the enumerato
survives, the answers will not be truth

THE Methodist preachers OF Water
town. N. Y, have formally condemned
the dance Of the minuet as sinful
pleasure. which besides being contra
diction of terms is an evidence that they
never saw..the stately, graceful and beau
tiful dance of the minuet. The occasion
was that the Womans Auxiliary to the
Y. M. @. "A. decided to give an I en-
tertainment. ~ TO pay a debt
on, and replenish the association
library. The advertisement of the
minuet met the eye of the Rev. Mr..
Mccormick, pastor of one of the M. r.
churches, who informed the secretary Of
the Young Mems Christian Association
that. if heisentertainment went on he
should'do his best to persuade the people
of his congregation to keep away. When
the young ladies were asked to eliminate
the Objectionable feature, they becam,
indignant and declared that it would BE-
minuet or nothing. And they did, henc,

full speed is not a useful fac
tor in improving the. thoroughbred race.
The horse which Is trained to make
spurts and dashes offers little more than
play thing to be subject to the
manoeuvring of a jockey. In races OF
this sort the factors are the jockey, the
bettor, and the horse with the horse as
the minimum, and the jockey as the
maximum factor. In this condition OF
affairsl- racing will soonrlose any good
qualities which recommend IT. to genuine
turfmen and to the general public.

THE New York Sun recommends that
the census enumerator should be met
politely and pleasantly" because he
comes on necessary and constitutional
errand. The Sun says
Don't attempt to rebuke him or argue
with him. He is simply carrying out his
instructions, which are definite and
mandatory, as far as he is concerned. He
has no power to change the schedule of
questions committed to him by his
superintendent Remember that 1t is not
the enumerator' fault that Robert p.
Porter and Dr. John s. Billings and
Colonel Carroll d. Wright entertain ideas
In which you cannot coincide, concerning
the value to statistical science of your
intimate secrets of health and pocket
book. They are monstrously mis-
taken, and you are right
in your location of the constitu.
tional limit of Federal inquisltion; but
the enumerator has had no voice in the
matter. He isn't to blame. Probably he
had rather be excused than not from
pressing your wife with questions as to
her physical condition, or from asking
you whether the house you live In Is
mortgaged His task is not an agreeable
one, and. in common decency, you ought
to make it as easy as possible.
When the enumerator comes to Question
20, whether suffering from acute or
chronic diseases, and so forth, maintain
an impressive silence, and keep it up
until the end of the schedule is reached.
Then bid him good.by as pleasantly as
you babe him good morning. But don't
argue

wrrn all the great newspapers and
periodicals advocating Democratic policy
with the great seats of learning turning
out free traders with the elections in
Ohio, New York and Illinois carried by
colored men, with Iowa, Rhode Island

nors, it seems the Republican party is
under the necessity of adopting radical

THAT economic policy which encour-
ages trade, facilitates the exchange Of
commodities, and opens the markets Of
the world is the policy alike of the work
ingman and Of the farmer This policy
widens the area Of consumption and in
creases the demand for the
labor of the one and the produce
of the other. To show that this policy is
not beneficial alike to both laborer
and farmer, it is necessary to set
aside the natural laws of supply
and demand; to undertake TO divert
trade by legal enactment; to force sellers
into cheap market and confne buyers
to dear market; to contradict the
teachings of political economy and
traverse common sense. 1t is necessary to
make one class pensioners, TO all other
classes and submit to the demands OF
bene6ciaries, who increase their demands
as they grow rich and powerful.

THE New York Press has sent up a
wall to the effect that ruin viii stare the
wool-growers in the face If the Senate
does not come to their relief. The
trouble is that the Pennsylvania District
Court at Philadelphia decided that
woods commercially known as third
class woods shall pay the duty
imposed upon those Of the third
class This was made for
the relief Of the wooden manufacturers
whom ruin stared in the face under the
old ruling. In this dilemma how would
it do to have the copper syndicate step
into the breach with its little
$60, 1000, O00G Is it not about time that
some other goose than the people be
plucked?

AS the smoke of the local election
clears away it seems evident that the
Higgins wing is badly crippled. The
Young Mems Republican Club and it's
AslSew Building Annex were completely
under control of the Higgins adherents,
and all the party machinery together
with all control of the spoils belonged to
them. All the money that comes from
outside. all the levies upon the office
holders and upon the rich manufacturers
and subsidy beggars are made, and
collected by them. "0ur niggers" have
been supposed to vote by order in
platOons, at the command Of the officers
of the Askew Annex. Hence the unwel-
como truth forces itself that somebody
has betrayed us, somebody has been dis
loyal to the leader, to whom Mr.. Pretty.
man Of Milford says every Republican
should look up TO, should worship and
obey. Somebody must suffer for this
somebody will suffer, for Senator Higgins
never forgets. He holds his office for
six years without any responsibility
to the people, and he is in position to
wait. Those who have downed his men
cannot wait, hence they will be forced to
come on their knees as suppliants for
pardon or they will never get any spoils.
The condition Of the Repuhli
can party here and in Milford
excites lively and humorous interest
among the Democrats. It excites lively
interest among the small Republican
statesmen, too, but there is nothing hu-
morous about il to the knockers or the
knocked out. Both sides are sorry. Both
parties are sad.

In this respect the contrast was marked

Perhaps the editor of the Chronicle
might find a convenient hole to pull in
after him and shield himself from public

A new BUSINESS METHOD.

Is now prevailing In western cities, whereby
the opportunity is given TO procure q good
watch for very. low price, through the
agency of cooperative clubs. This plan is as
follows. Clubs are composed of forty mem
bers, who pay one dollar fee, which payment
goes to the originator of the plan. When the
club is formed they mutually agree TO purchase
forty watches for the sum of seven hundred
and sixty-five dollars. Each week thereafter
the members meet, and each pays one dollar,
at which time a number is drawn. which en-
titles the owner of such number to select and
and receive his watch, similar to the old plan
of watch clubs, with the exception that upon
the drawing of number further payment of
that number cease. The remaining members
Qess one each week. continue their payments
and drawing for thirty weeks. when all pay
ments cease and the remaining ten members
receive their watches.
