90 SHOW FOR 80 CENTS.
Sells Brothers Return Covered with Vic
torious Wreaths.

Sells Brothers return Covered with VIC
torious Wresths.
On the sixteenth of October last
Sells Brothers Big Show of the
World sailed from San Francisco for
Sydney, Australia; thus inaugurating
the most extraordinary and venture
some tour of its kind on record, and
which was destined to bear the gold
en- fruits Of proportionate success.
The leading journals of America all
backed its pluck and enterprise with
the strongest editorial assurances
that its proprietors were eHtitled to
universal respect as representatives Of
the best type of genuine American
manhood, and their great exhibition
to all the popularity and successes
such ownership ought to confer. That
they never compound with fraud by
|claiming that people like to be hum
bugged." That they acted upon the
wise and just principle of giving
their patrons more than their moneys
worth, and always recognized that
Or mans money is as good rs anoth-
er's, by giving tie same complete
show ill every place of exhibition, in
stead of stuffing the metropolis and
then starving the farmer, under the
pretense of serving him the same feast
That they treated the public fairly,
and by so doing gained the full back
ing of popular confidence of their
promises. Those made to the people
of Australia certainly suggested the
biggest feast OF animate wonders and
amazing acts ever spread before an
eager throng, and of the tens and hun
dreds OF thousands who patronized
the show during its six months Aus
trailian season there is proof, univer-
sal, emphatic and undeniable that not
one went away disappointed, or dissat-
isfied.
In Sells Brothers amusement ar
ithmetic, ciphers don't count. No
aggregation of them will make a
unit; neither will any number Of
commonplace things and unknown
fll-ups make great show. The
Messrs. Sells know this, and their
united grand Australian living ex-
hibit, monster menagerie, regal Ro-
man hippodrome, triple circus, ele-
vated Olypian stage, erisl displays,
tribe Of wild Bedouin warriors, chill
dren's fairyiand frolics, darkest AZ
RIGA aquarium, spectacular pilgrim
age 10 Mecca, and Arabian Nights'
entertainments, include and repre-
sent only that which is most won
derful, excellent, exciting, and re-
fined. From performing mammoth,
or huge disporting amphibia to
daintiest detail, there is nothing in
ferrior or commonplace about this
extraordinary rich and attractive al
lance. 1t possesses every feature,
feat, and display, of both home and
foreign origin, in keeping with such
an entertainment, that can be pro-
cured, and many nowhere else to be
seen; and all will be exhibited at
Shreveport, on Monday November Z,
just as advertised. and with the hon.
orably won prestige Of holding first |
place in two great empires, thous-
ands OF miles apart; and the price of
is only so cents.

NEW YORK, June 2-QuIet reigned su-

gates, as far as canvassed, having de-
clared against it ten to one. Whatever
may be the declaration of the Demo-
cratic platform on the subject, the
nomination of Mr.. Cleveland will
be tacit declaration that no such
measure could become law. in
the event of his election if his veto
could prevent it. And this is well;
intelligent people, West as we'll as East,
have come TO see that the free coinage
of silver would result in evil to the many
and good to the very few who own sill
Yer bullion or mines. Moreover, it is
we'll because it will remove the last hope
which has kept England from joining in
an international scheme to restore silver
to larger place in the monetary sys-
tenn of the commercial world.
The Indianapolis journal., 1892-06-03

IT is now quite evident that the Stew
art silver bill will not be- heard of again,
since no vote will be taken on it until
after the Democratic national conven-
ton. To have forced the passage of
the bill by both houses before the Dem
ocratic convention would have given the
free-coinage people something of want
age ground about the convention, par
ticularly in the making of a platform
and possibly in the selection of candi-
date. To have it postponed until after
the convention. by the Senate, after a
similar measure had practically been set
aside by the House. leaves the free
coinage scheme in hopeless conditio n.

Nine admissions from this cause to one

sufficient to more than defray the entire cost Of
