1t is surprising how little the aver
age newspaper advertisement has
varied in style and general makeup in
the last 20 years. "At cost" sacrifice
sale" bankrupt sale" "gvand open=
ing" "we defy competition" "unheara
of bargains" are some of the most
noted "Chestnuts" that are dished
out, to newspaper readers, with mo-
notonous repetition. You might as
we'll expect your customers to buy
hats and bonnets that were in fashion
20 years ago, as to read such adver-
tisements. If you want your "adsn
read you must make them attractive
to intelligent readers. You must show
some originality and keep up with the
times. Be sure and fulfill all your
promises. Never try to deceive the
people, for if you do, you simply adj

Under Peculiar Circumstances.

The Republicans have been de-
feathed under peculiar circum-
stances. The natural aspects of the
country were eve so good; labor
never so well remunerated; balance
of trade in our favor. Never in the
history of our nations existence
was it so respected by other nations;
never so great intellectual activity;
nor was there ever a time when the
candid beholder could reasonably
predict so great a future greatness
for this country, as at the time of
the last election.
The Democrats necessarily pro-
claimed that trusts, monopohes,
strikes, and other evils were en-
jendereI, fos.ered and maintained
by the iniquitous Mckinley bill,
and oppressed the people. They
promised that this great fomenter
of evil should be removed, and SO
trusts, strikes, monopolies and other
evils should no longer torment,
plague Or burden the people. They
promised 10 make better conditions
for the poor man, happier days for
the laboring man, and with a wall
Of calamity which sounded like a
funeral dirge on a summers day,
they begged to be allowed to step
in and fulfill the promises they were
making.
The people acquiesced. The ad-
ministration of the government will
be in their hands; and if they can
add anything to the greatness and
happiness of the country the TRIB-
UNE will hasten to record the fact,
and all good citizens will rejoice. In
the meantime, any c~owardice, any
~hesitancy in the fulfllment of these
promises made, any turning aside
from avowed purposes, will receive
the condemnation of an indignant
and deceived people.

to bring about the speedy repeal of
the protective tariff laws? You
know how it is-you have told us
how it is. In your Kenosha speech,
in your Milwaukee speech and in
your Fond du Lac speech, you told
us that protection had brought a
blight upon this land which the old
Democratic party, the sweet-scented
old Democratic party would remove
at once. Do you not remember
that you said at Fond du Lac that
we are on the verge of a panic,
from which we can be saved only
by the destruction of protection and
by the issue of stump-tail currency?
Come, now; the oppressed and
poverty-strlcken people of Wiscon-
sin have followed your advice
they have voted for shat dear old
Democratic party on which benign
Heaven sends its sunny smiles"
They look, now, for the consumma-
ton of their hopes. Are they TO be
robbed for another thirteen months,
aye, for twice that or more, if
Cleveland's backbone is not stiffen-
ed? Heaven forbid!

There is a judge out in the state
of Washington who will become
very popular with a large element
in the United States. A few days
ago a cluster of a dozen or more of
newly arrived Italians, not one of
whom could speaks word of English,
appeared before the judge to be
made citizens. The Judge could not
understand them, w%hereupon "a
hustling professional Italian said he
would speak for them. The Judge
intimated, with a good deal Of
emphasis, that he was not making
American citizens by proxy. Not
n of that cluster of densely
Ignorant Italians is likely to become
a genuine American citizen, even if
they live here the balance of their
lives. The Washington Judge, be
it said to his lasting honor, sent
them home without taking the step
to citizenship that they hoped to
take. 1t is extremely unfortunate
that there are not many judges with
the same kind of common sense
ana the same amount of back bone,
for no one pretends to deny that
thousands upon thousands of human
beings who are no more fit to be
given the rights Of citizenship in a
Republic like ours than pirates are
to be made ministers of the gospel,
are citizens. Restricted immigration
ard IN ore stringent laws against
making citizens out of certain
grades of foreign material, are two
subjects worthy of most serious
consideration on the part of Ameri-
can people.

How il the name of logic and
sanity can the business interests of
the country be endangered by the
immediate application of the Demo
cratic policy as set forth in the
platform? How can Mr.. Cleveland
consistently aver that "such sudden
reduction of tariff rates with such
short notice would work hardship
to the business interests" Is it
true, or not, that the business
interests of this blighted country
are in the worst possible way? Mr..
Cleveland has for five years pro-
claimed in solemn and swelling
tones that they are. The verdict of
the people is that they are. Is it
true, or not, that free raw material
would enable manufacturers in
America to seize the neutral markets
of the world? Mr.. Cleveland has
said that it would. Is it true, or
not, that the protective tariff has
no effect on wages? Mr.. Cleveland
has said the theory that it has is an
arrant fraud. In it true, or not, that
this protective tariff robs the plain
people of thousands of millions q
year, makes the rich richer and the
poor poorer, clothes us with shoddy,
deprives honest folks of the enjoy
ment of a fair share of their
earnings, causes strikes aud lock-
outs, and brings into the national
treasury a revenue not needed,
which induces Legislators to indulge
in squanderous profigracy? Mr..
Cleveland is authority that all this
is so.
Well, then, if the protective tariff
has put the b, aess interests in the
worst possible state and deprived
manufacturers of an export trade
that would be theirs otherwise, how

Mr.. J. +. BLAZE, An extensive

severest attacks of pneumonia while
in the northern part Of that state
during a recent blizzard, says the

occasion 10 drive several miles dur
inc the storm aud was SO thoroughly
chilled that he was unable to get
warm, and inside of an hour after
his return he was threatened with a
sever case Of Pneumonia IL lung
