ADVERTISING.

The one thing to be eliminated in
making The weekly successful is these
large display advertisements. While
this is an uncontrovertable statement,
there are those who maintain
another position. 1t can be main
tanned that the majority Of
country journals are largely dependent
upon their advertising columns,
and to cut out the large display
advertisements is to cut short the
journalists life, for by it, and in many
instances by it alone, he survives.
First we desire to say as basis, that
the journal which cannot live without
advertising deserves nothing, and
there should be no place for it. In
truth it is an imposition on the public,
living upon the charities of friends.
A journal should be edited in that
higher sphere of literature that the
hiuuS VI ulcH may NC uuiOIitSI, hCW
fields be explored rather than to
be contracted and cramped. Jour-
mails without merit are valueless, and
likewise are their columns as an adver-
Using medium in very large degree,
If a journal has attained to success
solely on the ground of merit, every
sentence, every word, is for the
thought of some one, and advertising
will be read and accredited true in
small type and little space just the
same as in whole page. Adopt
this according to the present rates ant
there would be little pay, but to make
the paper public demand its spac,
is worth more, and the reading people
instead of being served to pitcher full
of lemonade with half lemon, would
get the same Benefit in a wine glass.

MoKinley's Tariff Republican
School.

Mckinley, the school teacher. says ::
The foreigner pays the tariff tax.
Puck (Dem.) student asks: But if
the Englishman pays SIS for corduroy
suit and the American pays SIS, who
is paying the tax on corduroy?
Republican--A high tariff INCREASES
WAGES.
Democrat-Then why are the Car
negie works shut down on account of
REDUCED WAGES?
Republican-A high tariff develops
NEm INDUSTRIES.
Democrat--Then why with tin plate
at 1896 box in England and 1925
in New York, can't you find an Amer
lean workman with a TIN PLATE JOB
Republican-High tariff increases
the GENERAL PROSPERITY.
Democrat-Then why doesn't FARM
ING HAY? That's the best test of gen.
eral prosperity.

No President has been guilty of an
act that so plainly marks the doer, as
man who is unfit to fill so high an
office as President of the United States
as has Benjamin Harrison in the APP
pointment of the negro Crum to be
Postmaster of the city of Charleston,
S. G. This was the sale of the Office
for Crum's vote for Harrison's nomi-
nation. 1t was also an insult to the
people of Charleston that he would
not have dared offer to those of In
dianapolis. 1t is an act that at once
brands the perpetrator as a coward,
and shows the deep malice ranking
in his hypocritical heart. The gratu-
itous insult only failed of preparation
because there were enough self
respecting Republican Senators to
notify Benjamin, the little, that they
would not be parties to his dirty
work.

When duty was removed from SUI
gar, Republican act, and the con-
sumers remembering the decline
said this was one measure to the in
terest of the people, but when they
remember the increase government
expenses, that the removal of duty
necessitated decrease in the annual
treasury receipts Of $60,000,000 and
that bounty of two cents on the
pound had been allowed American
sugar makers, $l5,000,O00 to be divi-
ded between them according to their
productions, again legislation in the
interest of trust and millionaire was
perceived. The giving of two cents
per pound was specially for the pur-
pose, Republicans claim of enabling
home industries to compete with
foreign, and to do this they draw
from the treasury $75,000,OOO which
on account of the recklessness of o
billion dollar Congress must be met
by depleted treasury. Cheap Repub.
lican sugars; we pay $l5,000,000 foi
sugar and don't get a pound. A
manipulation at the expense of the
people, to the gain of q few.

The Gazette gives as a reason they
did not publish their pet measure, the
Force Bill, that it is too voluminous.
Possibly better reason could be
found in the fact that they do not
wish to aid the Democrats in their
campaign of education. The Demo-
cratic National Committee will have
several hundred thousand copies
ready for free distribution in a few
days. The Gazette favors that abom-
ination of infamies, the Force Bill.

of the proposed change in his district
he dropped the mountain mans hand

to hear his constituents answer to his

horse and fled toward Frankfort to
"sit" up with the Legislature awhile,
and convince them how "totally I'M

The Gazette Supports the Force
Bill.

The man who supports the Force
Bill yet is ignorant of the evils it
would bring upon the South, is a dan
gerous element in society, but he is, at
the same time, sure to receive q GER
tain amount of charitable commisera-
ton. But the man who knowingly
and willfully would bring upon his
section, for the purpose of gaining a
party advantage, the dark and damna-
BILE evils it would carry in its train,
deserves to be placed outside the pale
of decent men. The red-mouthed
Anarchist is less of q MANAGE to So
ciety than he, The Anarchist makes
no pretense but that he wishes to
break up the foundations of society ;
the Force Bill supporter, under the
guise of law, would bring about the
same result.
To know what would be the result
of the workings of this hell-devised
scheme, one has but to recall the
South and all the horrors of the days
of reconstruction. 1t was veritable
hell on earth then, and under the oper-
ations of the Force Bill the situation
would be even worse-Anarchy, ruin,
bloodshed, robbery, are a few of the
minor evils that would be visited
upon us.
The Gazette supports the Force
Bill.

CharIeston's Blackbird Fails to Oct
the Plum.

Now that the President has with
drawn the nomination Of DIR. Crum,
(colored), to be Postmaster at Charles
ton, S. O., perhaps that much-talked
about agreement made in writing
with the doctor at Minneapolis for
his vote for Harrison may find its
way into print. The agreement re-
ferred to is said to be the postmaster
ship of the Charleston office. When
the nomination Of Doctor Crum was
sent to the Senate several weeks ago,
it was printed in q number Of papers
that the President had carried out the
agreement entered into with the doc
tor at Minneapolis, whereby in return
for the doctors vote and influence
with the colored delegates the
Charleston post-office was to be turn
ed over to the dusky disciple of Escu-
lapius. But the Senate refused to
concur in the agreement, and pro-
oeeded to discuss the nomination.
Numerous complaints from the peo-
pie of Charleston found their way to
the Senate, and the result is the with
drawal of the nomination.
There can be no question about the
doctors feelings. 1t is said he has
sought the office for nearly three
years, and when at last he thought he
had his mouth secure on a Govern
ment teat he was knocked clean off
his pins by the President yanking the
string to which the nomination was
attached.
The story about the agreement re-
ferred to above has not yet been de-
MED, and if, as stated, the doctor has
the agreement in writing it will most
assuredly appear at an early day, I'M
less he is well taken care of. In this
connection the conversation between
Senator Walcott and Dr. Crum in the
Post-oflice Senate Committee was so
funny that it will bear printing in de-
tail,
Senstor Walcott: "Dr. Crum, you
were delegate to the Minneapolis
convention, believe? ~
DR.. Crum: Eyes, sah."
Senator Walcott: "You voted for
President Harrison 2"
DR.. Crum: eyes, sab, voted for
de President"
Senator Wolcott: Eyes. but when
you first came to Minneapolis you
told several that you thought Mr..
Blaine was the best man to nominate,
and that you had about made up your
mind to vote for him."
DR.. Crum: eyes, sab, L said dat"
Senator Walcott: ''Now, Doctor,
what made you change your mind so
suddenly"
DR.. Crum: Use looking over de
field, Senator"
Senator Walcott: "That will do,
Doctor"
The President was notified next
day that the nomination of Crum for
Postmaster would not be confirmed.
This is how the nomination came to
be withdrawn. The protests of the
decent people Of Charleston had moth
ing to do, with it. The Post-ofiice
Department shelves are piled up with
protests from Southern cities against
drunken, worthless negro Postmasters
and no more attention is paid them
than if they were waste paper. With
? the President the decent white people
:, of the South are not fit to have any
but negroes to rule over them in the
public oftices.--Ex.

That Force Bill.

The Lodge Election Bill, as present.
ed to the House, was sectional, in
tended to rule the ballot of the South
by bayonet rule in an emergency to
the perpetuation of the Republican adj
ministration. If the people won't
yield to the "robber tariff the Repub-
licans will read the riot act, the Force
Bill, and if this will not brighten the
Solid South into obedience, then bay
onets. The Force Bill is the Repub-
lican. hope of perpetuity. The backing
of this infamous bill is Federal, hire
ling and debauched negroes, and every
Republican who endorses the admins
tration, their present platform stands
hand in hand with them. Holt is a
Republican, the Gazette is Republican,
they endorse the infamous Force Bill,

CARE cy THE FIRE.

The sick room fire is always more or
less problem. Unquestionably it ought
to be, though the being adds no little to
the work of nursing. An open wood
lire Is the clcanest, wholesomcst, handi-
est thing in the world, but alack out
OF reach of most of us. Where coal is
used it should be dry, free burning,
with no dust nor abnormal humps. Have
your day or nights supply put into paper
bags-a shovcltul III each, and laiu in
low square basket beside the hearth.
Thus your fire can be rcplenished with
out noise, OF the annoyance of black
marks on the floor and hearth. Have
the ash pan removed before it is quite
full and always put some water in it be-
fore raking down the fire.
Put on coal SO regularly us to keep n
gentle, steady heat. If by accident the
fire goes almost out, don't dump kind.
linSs and paper franctically on top in
hope to revive it. The result will be
much smoke and more vexation. Instead,
rake the fire down to clean hot cinders.
Lay over them handful of lightly
crumpled papcr that will blaze, not
smoke. On that put sticks of kindling
dexterously crossed, and rs soon rs they
are well lighted, put on bag or. two OF
coal.
Wash hearth and iambs daily, but
have the CRATE unblncked. Nearly al
ways you will smell the blaclliug as 1t
burns oii.-S,. Louis Republic.

TO CLEAN WHITE ruRs.

To clean white furs, lay them on a
table and rub well with bran made moist
with warm water; rub until quite clean,
and finish by rubbing with dry bran.
The wet bran should be put on with
flannel, then dry with book muslin.
Light furs, in addition to the above,
should be we'll rubbed with magnesia or
n piece of book muslin, after tho bran
process, against the way of the fur.
Soiled white fur can be nicely cleaned
by rubbing it thoroughly in white flour;
it should then hang out of doors for
about thirty minutes. Repeat the pro-
cess several times aud the fur will be
equal to new.-Detroit Free Press.

A HOMEMADE COOK nook.

Every housewife should have in the

numbered pages for entries concerning
meats, breads, pies, buildings, cakes,

cause they are cnrclessly slipped into II
book or drawer from u lack of this worry
convenience. Have pages tor cold, in.
expensive desserts, ard for warm des-
serts of little cost, and accumulate as
many of them rs you can. DO not give
a recipe place in your book until you
have tried it and found it SUCCESS. Ga
other pages may be kept the prcscrip.
lions Tor company dessert and those that
are more expensive. If limited in the
number or class of help you have to de-
pend on, it is also 4 saving OF time and
worry to have the menus for n number
OF breakfasts, dinners and luncheons
made out. Have number of these so
simple that your servant can cook them
perfectly without assistance, aud then
when you are to have busy day YOU
will not be harrassed by taking thought
for your dinner, breakfast OF supper, us
the case may be. 1t might also be well
to have list of dishes that can be

A Dogs Passion For Bro sn Bre ad

There is an artist in the city who has
WOO for herself an enviable reputation
as portrait painter. at one of the re-
cent exhibitions she had the picture Of
beautiful dog whose portrait was
gained in The following way:
The dog is very fond of brown bread.
His mistress put on an apron, in the
pocket of which was generous supply
OF the coveted dainty. Then the dos
was made to sit in chair and wait ex,
pectantly for the bread. Meanwhile hit
mistress sketched rapidly. When he be.
came sleepy or uneasy she would allow
him to get down and eat piece of bread.
Tnen she would say, "Do you want
some more2 Go back to your chair,
then" So they proceeded till the sketch
was done. She said the saliva flowed so
freely from the dogs mouth, as he thoughi
OF the brown bread, that she had to
spread papers under him.
She also says that ic is difficult to get
lively portrait of an animal. After
they have passed the uneasy stage, and
find they must keep quiet, they settle
down quietly to go to sleep. A hors.
whose head she painted, would assume a
lively expression when some one whis.
rsued to him. Horses nearly always
liked to be whispered to.-New York
