IN THE republican senatorial con-
vention last Tuesday Bob Bailey was
nominated for state senator for the
36th district There was but one other
candidate before the convention, j. W.
Frescoln, of Stafford county. The un-
usual absence of republican candidates
can be easily accounted for if one but
reflects that there is not ghost of a
show for a republican to be elected in
this district. Rice county again out

department that all of the plans have
formulated and that it is intended to
make the collection as complete as
possible in every respect. Everything

down to the most ordinary manufac-
tured articles. For example, the fiber
industry will be thoroughly explained.

factured from it, such as the nuts,
mating, scrubbing brushes, the new
material which is used instead of cot
ton waste, and everything else that can
be obtained of like character. In ad-
dition to showing the samples of man.
ufactured articles, such as pottery,
tiles, etc, the various sorts of clay will
be placed on view in the hope that
capitalists may be tempted to invest

the Jamaica court has been suggested.

everything which can show its products

DUN'S REVIEW.

NEW YORK, July s.-R. G.. Dun &
Co IS weekly review OF trade says:
There is stronger demand for finished
products in iron and steel, while pig iron
is overloaded and weaker. The Thomas
company had reduced its price for No.
anthracite 81 to Sl.50 per ton, which IS be-
leved to he the lowest price ever recorded.
Sales of 1000 tons of steel rails have been
made by eastern works. The aggregate
for the half year has been $50, 600. with
$50. OO0 tons actually delivered, which cor
responds with the decrease IN railway
building and the prospect that the new
mileage for the year will be only about
5000. Bar iron is in heavy demand, and
structural also, with an advance of about
81 per ton The textile mills are we'll en-
ployed for the season, and better orders
for wooden goods have given an Impulse 10
the purchases of wool by the manufactur-
ers. The boot and shoe shops are busy
and pressed for early deliveries. Eastern
shipments are now the largest ever known
for the year thus far-l, 81 'oo cases,
against l, 733, coo last year. The last ad-
vance in coal has checked business, but
the half years output was l3,63S,O00 tons,
against Is, 374, 900 tons last year.
The growth of western trade may be
inferred from the Chicago receipts, which
exceed last years % per cent In cattle and
hogs, 80 per cent in corn, 80 per cent IN
dressed beef, about double In hour, cured
meats, lard cheese, hides and wool, and
four times last years in wheat, oats and
rye. General trade is larger than year
ago, aud the demand for money is slightly
better The fine weather helps the crop
in Wisconsin, and trade is better
than last year at st. Paul and Minneap-
oils.
Speculation has been inactive, though

IMyTAToRS AND IMpOsIToRs

The uuequaied success of ALLCOCK'S
Porous PLASTLRS as an external remedy
has induced unscrupulous parties TO offer
limitations, which they endeavor to sell on
the reputation of ALLCoCK'S. 1t is an alb
surdity to speak of them in the same
category as the genuine porous plaster.
Their pretensions are unfounded, their
vaunted merit unsupported by facts, their
alleged superiority to Or equality with
ALLCOCK' false pretense.
The ablest medical practitioners and
chemists and thousands of grateful
patients unite in declaring ALLCoCK'S
Porous PLAsTERS the best external RENE
dy ever prod uced.
Beware of limitations. and do not be de-
ceiyed by Misrepresentation. Ask for
AGLCOCK'S, aud let no sol!citatiod or ex-
planation induce you 10 accept a substitute.

WIRE DRAWN.

WASHINGTON, July A. Some rather fine
distinctions are often drawn in the matter
of customs decisions by the treasury de-
partment. but Assistant Secretary Crounse
broke the record by one which he made
Wednesday. A citizen of Detroit went
over to Canada and bought pair of
trousers. which he wore home. The Gus
toms officers taxed him So 60 duty on the
new pants. He applied to the treasury de-
partment for rebate, and in his letter
said: II fancied those pants and bought
them" When be used the word 'fancied"
he gave his case away. Judge Crounse in-
formed him that the Mckinley law admits
free or duty articles of clothing which are
a necessity" but as the claimant himself
admits that he bought the pants because
he 'tancied" them, it stands TO reason
that they were not an article of necessity.
Therefore he must pay the duty.

CHEAP SUGAR.

WASHINGTON. July S-The Claus
Spreckles Sugar company OF San Francisco
have written letter to the treasury de-
partment stating that the Pacific coast is
being flooded with sugar, the product OF
cheap labor from Hong Kong, China. The
letter states that the sugar is produced in
the province Of Hong Kong by Chinese
labor and is refined in Hong Kong, a free
port, by Chinese laborers VINO work for 10
cents day. Under the new tariff law the
Spreckles company say it will be impossi-
ble for them with the standard OF Ameri-
can wages TO compete with the Chiuese
sugar, which is produced by an English
company, and they ask If the reciprocal
provisions of the tariff law can not De in
voked Tor their protection. Secretary of
the Treasury Foster has replied TO the let
ter stating that as Hong Kong is free
port aud no discrim nation IS Shown
against the United States the matter IS
Nos u subject OF executive action as con
temp.ated in the reciprocity provisions OF
the new tariff law, but rather Il subject, il
Congress sees fit, for congressional action.
