MisdireCted Letters.

CHICAGO, July 5.-According to
a special bulletin just issued by the
posto flee authorities in this city
there must be thousands of people
scattered over the country that are
waiting for tire letter that never

Chicago that are wondering what

vices from home. No less than two
tons of misdirected letters are now
stacked up in the basement of the
Office, every effort to determine the
exact destination of each one of the
number having proved abortive.
The failure to deliver 80 many let.
tiers directed to this city is attribut
ed to the fact that every lodging
house and flat that has anything
over single room to rent now dubs
itself an hotel. There are two or
three thousand of such alleged no.

As Mr.. Ames had not appeared at 9

state room window be broken open. This

be lying on his face upon the floor. He
was dressed only in his night shirt. His
clothing had been neatly arranged on the

The Tariff is a Tax.

Representative of the Bermuda
onion industry Qoreigners) say the
tariff is tax which they have to pay;
that reduction of the duty on onions
would not affect the price to consum-

onions more profitable to the farmers
of Bermuda.

made an eloquent plea in favor of the
distressed women on the east coast OF
Ireland, who are engaged in the max

Should her recommendations prevaiD

That the people of Ireland have suf-
fered and are now suffering because of
free trade, even Mr., Wilson the free
trader, dare not deny. There can be
no doubt about it. Such being the
case, it occurs to US that the Ways
and Means Committee should hesitate
to intlict free trade upon us when it
has been so disastrous to wage-earners
in every country in which it has been
tried.
Give the laborer the benefit Of the
doubt, at least.

The first hearing before the Ways

to drive the reformers to drink. The
chagrin of it was awful. 1t resulted
in exposing them to the outlaws of a
whole nation.
The gentlemen given the hearing
were from Bermuda, and they insisted
that the duty on the agricultural pro-
ducts sent in by the Bermudans
should be taken off And why? Be
cause the Bermudans have to pay it,
and it amounts to $40 each. When
Chairman Wilson recovered from his
establishment at this he said enticirg-

Governor Mckinley Opens his Cam

The campaign of 1898, i'll Ohio. was

There was an immense outpouring

Warren, East Liverpool, and other
Eastern Ohio towns were largely rep
resented, while Cleveland sent fully
1000, and Canton, the home of Nc
Kinley, an entire division of the pa
rade Many G. A. R. men were
present.
The champion of protection was at
his best and delivered an address that
was received by the mighty throng
with the widest enthusiasm.
After reviewing the present fnan-
cial troubles, he said
The President in his recent mes
sage makes significant and, for him,
somewhat surprising statement He
says: 1T may be true that the embar-
rassment from which the country is

apprehended as from those actually

President has uttered a great truth.
one which will find i'll the mind of

things may have contributed to our

underlying cause is evils apprehend-

which are threatened, evils which it
is believed will follow the executed

there is a confident spirit everywhere

alone. This year let us accompany
our confidence with zeal, with work,
with full vote
"Never was a political contest in
Ohio more important, never an
impressive Republican majority more
