keep it out of the PAPER

keep it out of the paper" is the
cry which the local newspaper pub.
Usher daily hears. To oblige often
costs considerable, though the party
who makes the request thinks the
granting scarcely worth saying thank
you for. A newspaper is a peculiar
article in the public's eye. The news
gatherer is stormed at because he
gets hold of one item, and is abused
because he dose not get another.
Young men and often young women,
as we'll as older, perform acts which
become legitimate items for publica-
ton and then rush to the newspaper
offices to beg the editors not to
notice their escapades. The next day
they condemn the same paper for
not having published another doing
the same thing they were guilty of,
forgetting apparently, their late visit
to the printing office. The subscrib-
ers expect to read the news, and there
is always wonder when, for charity's
sake, an item on the street and in
everybody's mouth is not found in
the next issue of the paper-Ex-

ENGLAND's DECLINING COMMERCE =
In sharp contrast with the steadvex.
pansion of the foreign commerce OF
the United States, which under the
Mckinley tariff, has attained the
largest figures in our history, is the
decline that is going on in the com
merce of Great Britain. During
July the British imports decreased
81 100000 and exports 81 900. 600
as compared with the statistics for
the corresponding month of 1890
During the first several months of
the present year The imports into
Great Britain have shown an increase
of $25, 100000, while the exports
have decreased $35, 100000, or the
total shrinkage in volume of British
foreign trade of about $4,000, 900.
In the early portion of this period.
while exports were decreasing imports
were increasing, but now it appears
that there is q decrease of both i'm
ports and exports. The Mckinley
tariff or some other influence is PLAY
ing the mischief with British com
merce.-Boston Journal.

Sharp Practice.

The advantages which people who
live exactly on the line between two
countries have in escaping the Gus
toms and other regulations of both
countries have often been recounted
PROBABLY the most picturesque and
innocent instance of this kind ofnyas-
ION comes from the far western town
OF Nogales, which lies exactly on the
boundary between Mexico and Ari.
IONA. On the United States side OF
the line in this town eggs have been
rendered dear by the new tariff upon
eggs, inasmueh as the hens in that
region are chiefly owned on the Next
can side of the line and fed bv peas
ants on the cheap Mexican grain. Re-
Gently, according to the Tombstone
Arlzun, Prospector, a Maine Yankee
arrived in Nogales, with an eve to
business. He was convinced that his
opportunity lay in the high price of
eggs. Accordingly he put up long
hen-house exactly across the bound
airy line. At the American end he
provided nests; and at the other end
he fed his hens with low priced Mexican
grain. The fowls ate their grain in
Mexico and then walked across the
line into the United States to Law
their eggs. The transaction was per-
fectly honest, for of course the pro
prletor of the hennery Struggled
neither grain nor eggs. But he avail
ed himself of high prices on one side
and low prices on the other.-Ex-

because of the small sums re-
ceived for your Dairy skins.
The fault is your own, for if
you would take them off and
properly care for them you
would rarely find a skin that
would bring you less than so
cents, and a great many OF
them would bring you 60,
70 and even SO cents each.
Poor skins, like poor butter,
are poor property and bring a
poor price. 1t will cost you

on which to send me your ad

That seems to be very peculiar
action taken by Governor Fleming
of Florida in regard to the election
of United States senatorto succeed
Senator Call. He maintains that
Calls alleged reelection was illegal,
on the ground that a quorum of the
state senate did not take part in the
election, and he has accordingly
withheld the certificate. But the
governor was not satisfied to stop at
this point, for he preceded to appoint
William d. Chipley, who was one of
Senator Calls competitors, to fill the
vacancy" 1t looks as though Flem-
ing was simply trying to curry favor
with the farmers alliance, which has
