replied Mr.. Martin.
"Great Scott! You don't mean

abroad for your beans, do you?"
"That's what 1 said" replied
the merchant.
"Why, can't you buy what beans
your trade calls for at home?'

The reporter walked Oh wonder

brought in from a distance that

There are chickens, ducks, turk

eggs and nearly everything else

in here every day. Is it a wonder
that times are hard?

correct in objecting to the State

POLITICAL PROSPECTS.
Ex-Congressman Bciknap Confident O
Republican Success.


Republican Success.
As the time approaches for the con-
ventlons to nominate men for the L. s.
Congress, the interest in the subject,
which has been at an ebh. for some
time, is at full tide again. The names
of the probable candidates are on the
lips of all interested in the welfare Of
the Fifth district and much speculation
is rife concerning the political issue of
the campaign. Some of the prominent
names mentioned for the Republican
ticket are those of ex-senator Thomas
w. Ferry, William Alden Smith, John
Patton, C. T.. Belknap, c. w. Watkins
and ex.Speaker Diekema OF the city.
In conversation with reporter for
the TEIEGRAM-HERALD yesterday after
noon Mr.. Delknap said: zone OF the
greatest trouble that the Republican
party has is its super-abundsnce o.

IL has been the policy of the Demo-
cratic party TO nominate man from
this city, claiming that only such could
be elected. A great many Republicans
think otherwise. am of the opinion
that the commercial rs well as the
political interests should tie looked
after in making the nomination. A
Republican victory this fall means a
great deal TO us. IL we could get a
majority of from 500 to 1000 now. IT
would mean ut least 25000 To 10000 IN
the state a year from this time. A

tIcaIly be an Endorsement OF all that

The tendency of street railway COM
panies to substitute electric cars for
cable cars on their lines is on the in
crease, and the statistics of working ex-
penses and assets which from time to
time become available go TO show in
every case that the change has been n
wise one. Another confirmation of the
superiority OF the electric car over the
cable from financial point OF view Is
afforded in the statement of the last

the ease with which the metal becomes

are present is that the hydrogen Is not

A distiuetively novel feature in BIZ
cycle construction is the use of an oval
sprocket wheel TO convey power from
the cranks of safety machine to the
driving wheel. The cranlzs are placed
at right angles to the longer diameter
of the ellipse, and it is claimed that by
this arrangement the rider is given
