RUSSIAN BACON FOR FRANCE.
An Object Lesson for the Producers

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
The sooner the Mckinley tariff
can be repealed the better for the
producers of the United States.
largely by way Of reprisal, France
and Germany closed their ports
against American pork. In vain
has been the effort to induce these
nations torescind their probibitory
laws. 1t was thought that the
French chamber would do so, but
the body adjourned without touch
ing the question. Minister Reed
telegraphed that the chamber had
so much business to transact in the
closing hours that it was compen-
ed to postpone consideration of the
bill taking the tax off American
pork until. another session. He
was emphatic in his assurances that
everything would be all right next
time. Butyesterday the news came
that Russia was going intothe pork
business and that the government
had granted a subsidy to- packers
in a district that has now 100000
hogs. 1t seems that for some time
Russian workmen have been in the
United States learning American
methods of packing, and have now
returned ready to begin the work
in that country. Those who. have
given attention to the foreign news

The Farmer and His Duty.

McMinnville New Era.l
In the last issue of the New Era
It sought to convince the FARMERS
that the Democratic party was the
party for them that the Democrat
ic party would favor and press such
measures as would be for their re-
lief and that they, the farmers and
laborers, not being themselves har-
monious on s1ch measures as the
sub-treasury plan, should not push
them to the point of division in their
own ranks, an alienation of their
friends and allies, and the conse-
quent defeat of any and all plans
of relief, by the continuation in
power of the Republican party,
whose plan is to encourage the ag-
itation of these questions Of discord
and division, which will result in
their success in 1892
| Our argument was based more
upon the. unattainability Of such
measures as the sub-treasury, with.
out considering their merits, for
of what benefit could they be, il
ever So meritorious, if positively
not obtainable? The encourage
ment offered the farmers to so of

FOURTH EDITION
Great Shoe store Opening.

The spring opening of Hamburgers'
great shoe store, No. 700 Market street,
took place last oyening. There have
been PUSHES there before but never O
rush like there was last night.
The crowd was simply enormous, the
numbers passing In and out Of the
building being estimated at 5000 and
each received handsome souvenir.
Special souvenirs were given to the
ladies and each child got whlrligig.
The store was beautifully lit up, and the
potted flowers and tropical plants set
1t of to the greatest advantage. It
was however in the show Window
where Superintendent Fuld and As
slstant 9. W. Pyle excelled In decora-
tions.
II was generally conceded that there
were never two windows in this city
30 handsomely fitted up. In a green
tinted alcove stood boy in Continent
tai rig with patent feathers reaching to
the knees. Hung from the arch OF the
alcoye were numberof bells, upon
which was the word welcome" In
the other window depended draperles,
upon which were such notices as.
Honest business methods and restless
ambition has made US the leaders"
and we misrepresent nothing to gain
your trade"
Hyatts Military Band was stationed
In the portico overhead, and during
the evening discoursed melodious
music.
During the evening the iostllng surg
Ing crowd pushed against the surface
OF tho large south window, and the
thick three-cighth glass gave way and
there was a crash, the great glass
splitting from bottom TO top and
another crack extended in curved
line across the bottom. Fortunately
the glass plate was caught before 1t
fell and temporarily secured. Some
time ago ball was shot through the
glass, which scaled of the inside and
weakened the glass to such an extent
as to cause it to break. Mr., Harry
Fluid, Mr.. Greenwalt. Mr.. Pyle and
Misses Laura Draper, Clara Sullivan
and Hattie Redmile handled the surg
ing crowd in an admirable manner.
Everybody was pleased and everybody
will come back to this great shoe en-
pOrium.
