fit of the ASSOCIATED PRESS DIS.
PATCHES from every part Of the
world hence its patrons can read
from its columns in the evening

well as from every part of the hab,

an every. day occurrence for toe
GAZETTE to publish kilograms from
the various European capitals about
twelve or fifteen hours earlier than
the morning papers.
Correspondence from Washing
ton, Richmond and every sactlOn of
the State is published regularly,
and oil events of interest occurring
within the bounds Of the Common
wealth are to be found in the COL
umns of the GAZETTE.
The local department furnishes
full and complete history of every
thing that occurs in and near the
city, and this feature will, as ever,
receive careful attention.
Another feature that serves to
make the GAZETTE a great desider-
alum with merchants is its after
noon market reports from all the
great centres of the country.
The GAzETTE's circulation in this
city is now larger than at any time
in its history and is steadily increas-

consult its advertising columns be-

The COUNTRY EDITION is
nearly as large as that of the daily.
This edition is sent out three times

Much in Demand.

There is something that is getting to
be awfully scarce in this world says y
writer in the Chicago Herald. Shall
tell you what it is? 1t is girls. That is
what is missing out of the sentiment,
breathing, living world just now. We
have lots of society misses, but the new,
sweet, old fashioned girls of ever SO long
ago are vanished with the poke bonnet
and the cinnamon cookies. Let me emu
merate few of the kind of girls that are
home girls-girls who are mothers right
hand; girls who can cuddle the little ones
next best to mamma, and smooth out
the tangles in the domestic skein when
things get twisted; girls whom father
takes comfort in for something better
than beauty, and the big brothers are
proud of for something that outranks
the ability to dance or shine in society.
Next, we want girls of sense-girls who
have a standard of their own, regardless
of conventionalities, and are indepen-
dent enough to live up to it; girls who
simply won't wear a trailing dress on the
street to gather up microbes and all sorts
of defilement; girls who won't wear
high hat to the theatre or lacerate their
feet and endanger their health with high
heels and corsets; girls who will wear
what is pretty and becoming and snap
their fingers at the dictates of fashion
when fashion is horrid and silly.

The Political Outlook.

The National Conventions of the two
great political parties of the country
have been held, their platforms an
nounced and candidates named. The
platforms are about as they have al
ways been on the issues of long stand
ing, and both sides seem to have skill
fully straddled those questions of more
modern origin which are seeking and
demanding recognition. The ward poll
tician will doubtless devise many points
of conflict, suggested by local environ
ments and personal ambitions, but the
fight in which the representative ele
ments will engage must be confined in
the main to two issues, viz. The tariff
and the federal election law. These are
the ghosts that will not down.
But the country has been taught to
look more to the ticket than to the plat
form. The average man has learned that
platforms are often forgotten after cleo
ton day, and, therefore. more concern is
given the man than the creed.
We are confronted in the pending can
vass by condition of affairs at once
novel and gratifying. The people ale
not called upon to vote for ali unknow N
quantity, but the men who are asking
you to eXalt them to the presidency have
each been president and the country
knows what to expect. Whichever side
may be victorious, the result will not be
an experiment. but repetition of a poll
CIV already tried and lived through. This
should, and doubtless will, have mos
wholesome influence on the business in
terests of the country. Ordinarily the
year in which a presidential election is
held is characterized by stagnation in
business. Men of means hesitate to in
