Suffolk.

Work on the new town hall is proceeding
gradually, says the suffolk Observer. While
some would be pleased 10 see the work 90
forward more rapidly, doubtless it is best
not to push the work so that it has not time
10 settle. This building should have all
care i'm It's construction to make it perfectly
safe. The prospective uses for which the
hail is designed require this.
Mr.. II. X. Culley is at work on the cleo
trio light plant building in East Suffolk.
The poles for the wires have been furnished,
and are in place ready 10 be raised. This
would, we think. convince the most skepti-
cal as to the assurance Of electric lights for
suffolk. The company has one eye TO bust
ness, we doubt not, as the plant will be To-
Gated on a lot donated by the East Suffolk
Land Company. This company proposes To
aid in substantial way any worthy enter
prise for the good Of and development of the
town. 1t is making good its word in the
electric plant.

Philadelphia Times. J

Speaker Reed succeeded yesterday, i'll a
enthusiastically arbitrary fashion, in
counting a quorum in the House, and i'm
proved the opportunity to strengthen his
forces by turning out two more Democrats
and putting in two Republicans who had
failed of election by their constituents.
There is not, and cannot be, a reasonable
pretence that either Langston or Miller was
elected 10 Congress, and though each filed a
contest, as matter Of form, there was no
thought Of seating either Of them at the be-
ginning of the session. But even after the
lawless addition of nearly a dozen contest
ants, the Speaker still found it difficult TO
keep "A majority present, and he was driven
by the eXigencies Of his " business policy
10 order in two more.
In all the history of the United States
Congress there has been no such fagrant
abuse of party power as this. If the Demo
Gratis had ever attempted anything APP
preaching it the whole country would have
risen against them. As it is. the Repub-
can organs take pains to conceal or disguise
the revolutionary course Of the party now
in power. But the country surely will find
it out and express It's judgment with en-
phasis.

lPhiladelphia Record. /

The proceedings yesterday in the House
of Representatives by which Democrats
were whipped out Of their seats and their
places filed by contestants without a
shadow Of right TO stand upon were prob
ably the eliminating disgrace Of the ses-
sion. 1t is hard to conceive OF anything
remaining to be done that will surpass this
latest achievement of reckless and des.
perate majority.

The proceedings in Congress grow hu-
initiating. The Democrats yesterday re-
fused 30 take part in the proceedings clus-
UNEXPECTEDLY made "a quorum. and had their
own way. Two Democratic members were
thrown out and Republicans seated. The
Democrats are in high temper over this adj
ditiOn to the Republican majority. and talk
OF a caucus to agree upon some plan of re-
taliatiOn-such as attacking. retarding, and
defeating the Tariff bill.
We do not commend legislative measures
of retaliation. 1t is better that members
should remain in their seats ANA attend to
their duties. Hiding, skipping about, Turk
ing in cloak rOOms--it was not for this pur-
pose that representatives were elected TO
the House. Altogether, it seems as if Con-
gress was becoming a ridiculous body.

The unseating of Representative Nenable
i'm the House Yesterday was one OF the
gr0ssest partisan Ouirages ever perpetrated
in that body. II was done solely because
Speaker Reed thought it would be good
politics" TO seat negro contestant from
Virginia. There was no proof nor pretense
that Mr.. Nenable did not receive plurality
of the votes. The result Of the election
was reversed simply on the statement Of
some Of Langston's negro "workers" that
they gave out more ballots than were found
in the box at TWO Of the wards in Peters
burg. II was plain, straight steal. and it
will not even help Republicanism in Nir-
ginia.

In the Fourth district Of Virginia, at the
Congressional election Of 1855. there were
10, 800 votes cast for Il. c. Nenable, Demo.
crat: 3,207 for r. w. Arnold, regular Re
publican. and 1861 for T. NJ. LangstOn, In
dependent Republican. Mr.. Nenable re-
ceiyed from the Governor the certificate OF
election, and was the sitting member.
LangstOn contested the seat, alleging fraud.
MIR. Cheadle. Of Indiana, a Republican who
investigated the case, in the expectation OF
finding LangstOn's claim well sustained.
was convinced by the facts that Langs'
ton has no case mt all. when the
majority report of the Committee on Flee
tons, declaring Nenable not entitled TO his
seat. was presented to the House, Mr.. Chea-
die made speech in which he denounced
the committees report as unjust, mlslead-
ing and disgracefnl TO the party. There Is
little doubt indeed that the caucus resOlu
ton 10 seat LangstOn was adopted without
any study Of the facts, or disposition to be
guided by facts. 1t was an instance Of the
disposition Of the party in pOwer-tOO often

The st. Ignace News has the follow
ing concerning former typo Of this

Ed. Bessette, the printer, who passed
throueh.here going west few weeks
ago, arrived in the city from the west
Monday evening, coming through from
Minneapolis. He came in on the regu-
lar evening express train and says he
got ID about rs ahead Of the conductor
and passengers and Is feet ahead of the
engineer and freman-haying rode on
the cow-catcher. While west he visit
ed Marquette, Superior, Duluth, st.
Paul, Minneapolis, and took in the corn
palace at Sioux City, Iowa, all at an
expense of $50 for railway fare. He
visited the new Pioneer Press building
in st. Paul, and says he stood at the
top story and spit clear across the street
just from the slant. He thinks it about
IL stories high.

The advertisement and the salesmal
together fight the battle Of trade.
Because one does a style Of advertis
inc, which. continued for century
pays, is no argument that intelligent
variety would not pay better.
Advertising generally pays something
even when Handicapped by botchwork
Give it half a chance md il will bring
in results. 1t is often question Of
making it pay better.
The one greater criticism in advertise
ing is too little space and too much
matter.
Many man attempts to tell the story
OF his trade within the measure Of an
inch. He can't do it
One sentence of crisp printed words
is far more effective than conglomera-
ton Of catalogued prose.
Because the advertiser will read his
advertisement, and it pleases his wife,
bOok-keeper and office boy, there is no
reason for claiming that the don't care
a-continental public will absorb line
of it.
Tell the story briefly; If it be long
story, take long time in telling it, and
tell it in short chapters.
No more think of crowding your adj
vertising into crowded space than crowd
ing salesroom space. Customers
are much more important than spacious
warerooms. Better have both.
The successful advertiser invariably
has plenty Of space, and uses few words
in it; and, what is more, he never cuts
his advertising during the alleged
dull times. He knows what he is
about. Experience has taught him
that the time to advertise is all the time
and that a clear statement Of few
words. fresh always, and honest, Wilde
the business.
It is all well enough to use small space
if you can hire folks at q reasonable
price to look ct it.
A word in closing:
An advertisement in regularly is
sued publication is worth infinitely
more than bushel-basket full of cards
and circulars Yes, more than two bask-
cts full.-Exchange.
