MONDAY, August II.

us some useful things last
week; articles needed by every
one.
Do you have much trouble
carving a fowl? Some people
do because they don't know
how to go about it. and others
who do understand it, haven't
the right sort of knife to do it
with. Our Eastern buyer sent
us some "Jointers " per last
steamer that are just the thing
for the work. Stick the blade
in the fowl and it finds the
joints all right without any help
from anyone. They are in
ivory handles and can be al
most given away.
Another good thing for the
household is the family glue
pot" A handy little thing, no
trouble to anyone; just fill
the container with hot water
(the glue is already in the glue
pot) and before you can say
"Scat the preparation is
ready, and you can cement a
broken engagement or any
thing else.
We've something for gro
GERS too! Cheese Boxes, nice
ones with wire cloth fine
enough to exclude anything in
the creeping line. Another
thing for either grocers or pri-
vate families. We refer to
wooden covers for hourbarrels.
Bird Cages plenty, now.
Brass Or painted, cheap or ex-
penslve; you can get what you
want. Our brass ones are
made with a sort of false bot
tom which prevents the bird
escaping when you clean the
cage. If you are fond of your
bird this is the kind of cage
you want.
Which do you prefer, plain
glasses or those with your I'M
tlal engraved on them /? You
can get the initial ones from
US as cheap as the plain ones
and very much handsomer.
We've imported a stove sui
table to the requirements Of
restaurant keepers or a large
family. 1t looks as though il
would be a good thing for any
one who cooks. We prefer
the Fischer steel range but it,
a trlfie more expensive at first
but saves enough fuel in the
long run to pay for itself.
We can show you a larger
assortment of plated ware than
ever before. The lot received
last week is made up of odd
designs and are very fair imi
tation of the solid goods the
only difference is in the weight
It's not every one who can de.
tect it.
We have wood spoons too,
tor the kitchen they are not
an imitation of anything and
their identy is not concealed
by platings of anything they
are just plain wood and espec-
tally adapted for kitchen use.
Another lot of Haviland
China has arrived and amono
the choice pieces are some
exquisite Ice Cream and Salad
Sets. If you are anxious to
be Gin the swim you better
come now and make your Sc
lection. Haviland is Just as

An man named John z. Jorgen-
sen went insane at Leadville the other
day. He was detained in the shcriff's Of
fice for while. Ho suddenly wheeled
like lightning, ,darted to u partly open win
dow looking out on Harrison avenue,
s,ood perched ON tho sill for a moment,
and then sprang into the street below, u
distance of forty feet. His fall was a
fearful one. He made complete revolu.
tioa in his descent striking the Inch
planking in front Of tho court house on his
feet with such forco that his right leg
broke short of below the knee, tho ubia
bone penetrating tho oakcn plank to the
depth OF two inches. The unfortunate
man remained in that terrible position
until the Mortified spectators Of tho scene
released him. Ho was taken to his resi-
dencc and tho doctors amputated his leg
at The knee. His left leg was also badly
shattered. but the physicians think ampu-
tat,on will be unnecessary. 1t is uncertain
whether Jorgensen will survice his ipiur-
les or not.

comes over the wall like d
thief in the night, that muf-

smack of patriotism; that
tells you that it is making

taxation that like a vampire
fans your cheeks with COOL

Increases the prices of what
You have to buy; that taxa
tion which passes by accumu-
lated wealth, and lays all it's
remorseless exactions upon
articles which mel, women
and children are compelled
to buy in order to live; that
taxation that concentrates
and increases the power OF
wealth, reduces the wages OF
labor, shuts the laborer out
OF employment, paralyzes
production, restricts G O n
sumption and plunges the
country into the depths of
distress-this is the cause of

we should direct all our
thoughts and use all the
power with which we are in
vested to remove it.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent


From our Regular Correspondent
Does Mr.. Blaine intend to
resume the duties of Secreta-
ry OF State? This is d quss-,
-tion easier asked than am
.swered. If Ifanybody in Wash
ington, from Mr.. Harrison
down, knows anything Of the
zeal intentions Of Mr.. Blaine
the knowledge is so well kept
Tthatit has not leaked out,
and It is extremely improba-
BILE that any such knowledge
exist. Guesses have heen
plenty, but facts have not
been behind them. First Mr..
Blaine was to return in Sep
tembpr, then in October, aud
now the guessers say that he
will be here in November. A
personal friendofMr. Blaine's
who is not in politics, said
yesterday in a guarded sort
of a way which was taken TO
imply a great deal: II have
an idea that t after the State
elections are over Mr.. Blaine
may be decided toretirefrom
the Cabinet and go toSouth-
ern California or Mexico for
the winter" Although this
gentleman denied flavingany
authority from Mr.. Blaine
for expressing such an idea,
it is nevertheless believed ny
those who know the rela tions
between the two men that he
would never have said such
a thing unless he knew that
some such steps was at least
contemplated. Mr.. Harrison
is thought to be entirely in
the dark as to Mr.. Blaine's
future movements. Indeed
it is stated here that he says
that he has had no direct
communication fro m Mr..
Blaine for months. 1t is tru-
" an odd sort Of a situa-
ton.
II promises were equal to
good deeds Secretary Foster
would long ago heve been
the pasaessor of a white robe
and a golden harp. He has
always been q good promis-
er; therefore it was not sur
prising that he should have
agreed with the New York
merchants as to the existence
OF evils in the administration
Of the business of the New
York Custom House, and
promises to correct them all.
This promise he relies upon
to make some votes for Fas-
sett, aud after the election he |
ran keep it ornot just as he
may feel disposed. Having
done that much for Faesett
he willnow proceed tos Ohio
to seewhst promises will do |
there for Mckinley.

Free Coinage or silyer.-.The Issue is

From speech by Hon. Roger O,

Mills in the Ohio Campaign.
In one Congress a Demo-
lcatic House passed a free
coinage bill, and in another
Congress a Republican Senate
passed it. To-day in many
states the Republican par
AZ Is strongly demanding it,
and in many others the dem
ocrats are doing the same
thing. But whatever m a Y

as to its propriety. it must
De apparent toevery one who
has carefully examined the
subject that opening the min

YER will not dispel the cloud
that is darkening the land.
Let Us not be deceived by su-
perficicial appearances. tits
not the scarcity of money in
the country. It is the scar
city OF money in the pockets
OF the people who earnit that
produces the distress. II our
circulation were to-day doub-
le what it is, and it was all in
the pockets of a h II n Dire d
thousand people, our condi-
dition would not only not be
bettered, but it would be de-
cidedly worse than it is. 1t is
not the small circulation, tits
the small distribution that
plaques US.
The amount of circulation
per head is shown by taking
the whole amount of money
in the country and dividing
it by the whole number OF
people. That shows that each
person has in his pocket $23.-
96, but millions have none;
other millions have not half
OF lit. A few hundred thou
sand In fact have a lions
share. The absurdity of deter
mining the prosperity of the
country by such figuring.is
too patent to deceive any
one.
The amount OF money re-
quired to do the business of
a people does not depend up
on the number Of their heads
but the amount oftheir bust.
ness, and the facilities they
aveforconducting it. Where
there are no banks or clear
ing houses, and credit is lin
tied, money instead of the
check must go from hand to
hand as commodities change
owners. The highest prosper
-ity this country has ever
known was from 1850 to 18-
81. The national wealth in
creased 1875 per. cent. in ten
years, Farms more than dou-
bled In their value, and every
branch OF industry wasin the
highest prosperity, and yet |
at no time during that peri
od did the percapita circula-
tion exceed 1888, and that
was $5 per head less than it |
is to-day; for the whole de-
cade the average circulation
was under $16 per head, or|
$6 less than our present per
circulation. Between
1870 and 1880 it was over
$22 per head. and that wasl
the darkest period financially |
verexperienced in ourhisto-
ry, and nowfwith nearly $24 |
per head we would gladly ex.|
change our presentconditionl
for that Of 1850, when we
had less than $12 per head.
