ber. In August, 1886, it was S07, and in
1887 it was sos, declining later only in the
latter year. A slight Improvement is indi-
Gated in the States north Of the
Ohio River, and a greater advance
in the States west OF the Mississippi
River, except Kansas and Nebraska. Con-
dition is high in nearly all the Southern
States, nearly the same as in July in the
breadth west Of the Mississippi, higher in
the lower States Of Atlantic Coast, and
slightly lower in Alabama and Mississippi.

One DESTROYS Of keeping his hat in
good condition during the summer
weather can easily do so by putting
a piece of blotting paper between
the hat and the sweat band, and re-
ncwing the paper every two or three
days, according to circumstances.
The paper absorbs the perspiration
from the forehead and prevents
those unsightly grease spots which
quickly destroy the good looks of
even the best hat. BY this simple
precaution hat may be worn twice
as long in the summer and will not
show the least sign of grease.

tisement and comes out of it brighter
than ever. His instruments are in
use everywhere. We are informed
that during the next ten years he in
tends to sell 100000 more of his
make; that means business of $780,
100000 if we average them at 500
each. 1t is already the largest bust
ness of its kind in existence. Read

A REPUBLICAN DELEGATE.

There is no reason at all that the
Republican candidate should not be
elected, if an active canvass is made.
We have really not had an energetic
campaign since that made by Judge
Prince in 1884. Though the circum-
stances then were most discourage
ing, owing to the detection of the
Rynerson party, yet the vote for
Prince was only 2,34l less than the
vote for Joseph, and the Prince and
Rynerson vote together exceeded
that of Joseph by 1851 votes. 1t is
true that Judge Prince received a
considerable Democratic vote, espec-
tally in the counties in which he had
been on the bench, but that probably
did not exceed 1000. Giving the
benefit of that number to the Democ-
racy, will still leave n Republican
majority of s5l in the territory.
There is no reason that this should
be less this year. There is every
prospect now of the most active cam
paign seen in many years, and of a
correspondingly large Republican
