CONGRESSMAN CIRCUITS POSITION.

Congressman Grout was seen by a
representative of the CALIFORNIAN
last week in reference to his position
on the Sherman bill. He is not a
free silver man, nor is he opposed to
the repeal of the Sherman bill. In
fact he favors the repeal, provided
some means can be devised for keep
ing up our present volume OF curren-
cy. A repeal of the Sherman bill
would take over 100000, 900 annu-
ally from our money supply. To
prevent this Gen. Grout favors the
passage of law authorizing our
national banks to issue money to
the extent Of their government
bonds. This would increase the cir
cuation medium of every bank in
the country 10 per cent and would
keep up our currency. Gen. Grout
does not think that the country is
ready for the single gold standard
because so many in the West are
fighting for the silver interests. Be-
fore the debate closes he expects to
make short speech upon the ques-
ton to prove to his constituents
that he is all right on the currency
question.
Gen. CIRCUITS position is a very
sound one and we shall await his
speech with much interest.

The "Windham county plan" Of
selecting a postmaster has been tried
in another Windham county town,
West Townshend and ofthe three can
didates choice fell on F. E. Williams,
who served under Cleveland before.
"All parties acquiescedi in the result"
says dispatch, and so everybody
there is happy and the Windham
county plan has gained another
point So far, however, the new
process of manufacturing Vermont
postmasters seems to be confined to
Windham county.

ON ANOTHER IA OK.

The republican party of Iowa has
taken another tack, aud cut loose
from it's hitherto affectionate at
tachment to the prohibition princi-
pie per Sc. Defeat has been the lot
of that party in Iowa ever since its
conventions declared for prohibition,
and the managers now take the
ground that prohibition is no test OF
repubicanism. The so-called prohl-
bitionists OF that state seem to have
held aloof from the republican party,
DESPITE the atter's embodiment OF a
strong temperance plark in its plat
form, and the republican leaders now
propose to let the party stand on its
original basis during the coming
campaign, without any extra display
Of tender regard for a set OF voters
who refuse to be wooed.
ust how far this change OF base
will be successful remains to be seen;
but it is certainly to be regretted
that the politically disposed temper
ance people of Iowa have not seen fit
in the past TO stand by party
which has given so much heed to
their demands for measures in the in
terests of sobriety. The campaign
in Iowa, under present conditions,
bids fair to be a lively one.

Railroad Changes.

Superintendent ID. II. Lowell assumed
charge of the newly created Cambria ana
Clea rfield division of the Pennsylvania
railroad on Monday. He enters on his
duties well equipped with thorough
practical knowledge of railroad affairs,
and no doubt he will aid very materially in
developing rich coal territory in Cambria
county. On and after the 10th inst. the
Cresson and Clearfield and New York
Short Line will be merged in to the Penn
sylvania system and become part of the
new division, The history of the last
named road is almost ostunprecedented in the
history of railroading. During the past
seven years it has been successfully opera
ted without a serious accident. This
speaks well for the management, and es-
pecially for the great ability and sound
judgment of Trainmaster +. j. Burgoon.-

The Use and Abuse Of whiskey

This subject could be dwelt upon TO a
considerable length and vet much remain
untold, but all agree that the use, the
proper use of pLre rye whskey is an abso-
lutte necessity, especially so now, when
nature insists upon being stimulated. All
regular physicians prescribe rye whiskey,
and justly claim that Klein's Silver Age
aud Duquesne Whiskies are most reliable.
They do this not only because they have
tried them, but because the leading hospi-
tails use them-find them the best stimu-
lants In the world. Silver age sells for
Sl.5O and Duquesne for sl-25 per full quart.

have become almost house hold
words, and the sale es sgerly
looked forward to, because ev-
erybody knows that when we ad-
vertise a grand clearance sale that
we mean business and genuine
bargains for those who choose to
to take them. Our big sale will
begin on the 10th inst and con-
tinue one week. The following
are some of the departments too
heavily loaded for this time Of
year and the goods must go:
First, Ladies', Mems and
Children's Underwe r. Every
nook and corner in the depart
ments are filled with all kinds at
all prices. 1t will pay you to
buy Underwear and lay it away
until next winter for on the
morning ofthe 10th you will find
our Underwear stock in some in
stances reduced one-half.
The reason we mention Coats
next Is because the cut in prices
will compare with that of the un-
derwear. Many handsome gar
ments will go this winter at just
one-half the marked prices. We
have fodnd by many years ex-
perience that it does not pay to
carry Coats over to another sea-
son and the way to move them
out is to Cut the Prices.
The stock comprises all the fashionable
shapes and shades in long short and three
quarter lengths, plain tailor made or fur
trimmed.
All kinds of Blankets including Horse
Blankets and Lap Robes, Comforts, Dress
Goods, Embroideries, White Goods, Table
