THE PEOPLE WITH CLEVE-
LAND.

That the people of Maryland have
confidence i'm President Cleveland and
his tariff reform IDEAS there is not Il
shadow OF doubt, and they are equally
firm in their faith in the Wilson Bill.
They have watched the course Of Con-
gress FOR the past few months with
greater interest perhaps than at any
time since the exciting times ust
previous TO the war of the rebellion
The business men of the country are
impatient with the delay of Congress
in settling the tariff question and they
are i'm no humor to he trifled with.
NEVER in the past twenty years
has business been so demoraliZed Us it
has been in the past twelve months.
The cause Of this is the Mckinley
high tariff. There is no doubt about
it. McKinley's bill has shown to II
certainty that the tariff has something
TO do with the prosperity or adversely
of this county. II is the greatest
question confronting the American
people. While the Democratic party
has been in power now over year
and the Republican press is trying to
hold it responsible for the hard times,
it has been handicapped from accom-
plishing the good it will accomplish
because the iniquitous Mckinley law
has been in effect during this time and
driving away from our country large
business which under more favorable
tariff we would secure beyond doubt.
The Democratic party is going to
pass tariff bill however, which will
bring us prosperity. The promises OF
the Chicago platform are going to be
carried out and a tariff given to the
country lower than we have had for
years. Lower than the much-talked-
of Mills Bill by far, and one which
we hope will be so good that it will
not be tinkered with for another
twenty years.

that kolb thought would go for him
have given Oates fair maiorilies.
Oates carried kolb's own county by
1900 majority.
The closest counties are Talladeea

official vote To decide who has carried
them. Macon county went for Oates
by a majority of 800. In 1892 Kolb
carried it by 746. The Democrats
gained large majorities in west Ala
bama. In Limestone county Kolb lost
1900.
The 'black belt" has given the
Democrats the usual large majority.
The negroes in the other counties have
been pretty nearly divided. kolb
declared two years ago that he carried
all the white counties, but the tables
have been turned on him this time.
1t is understood that the Kolbites
are trying To get more money to pay
fees with To order contests in rs many
beats and counties as possible. The
Senate and the House being safe, the
reelection of Senator John T. Morgan
is insured.
Kolb's defeat was due To a lack OF

tically given up all hope.

Rambler Bicycles are much im-
proved this year and greatly reduced
in price. They are undoubtedly the
cheapest wheel iu the world. They
will last for years and run easy all the
time, and cost little for repairs. The
past demonstrates these facts. Some
persons bIy low grade wheels, but
don't YOU. it is great mistake.
They are in the repair shop much of
the time, cost as much, or more in the
end, than a high grade wheel. run
hard all the time and soon wear out.
You will make no mistake if you
buy No. 4 Rambler at $1,000. Ii
is the cheapest wheel on earth.
Some makers put Il high grade price
on low grade wheels and give u big
discount to make you think you are
getting a great deal for your money.
Don't be deceived by this. Strictly
high grade wheels are not sold that
way. HANDLERS are not the only higl,
grade wheels on the market, but they

FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF
THE BURNING OF
SNOW HILL.

year ago last Tuesday night-was a
memorable occasion in the history of
Snow Hill. Ii was then the business
portion of our town was laid in ashes
and our merchants suffered such great
losses that it will take them several
years to recover. The insurance on
property was very small compared
with the losses and many persons pre-
dicted that our town was too badly
crippled to make much headway for
years to come. We are pleased to day.
however, To point out TO those who
took such a hopeless view of the con-
dition of Snow Hill, wha. has been
accomplished by the indomitable en-
ergy of our citizens. Many handsome
brick stores have been erected in the
burnt district and others are i'm course
of erection, while plans are being
formulated for, a fine hotel and the
county is building Court House
second to none on the Peninsula. The
town will soon begin the laying Of
mains and the erection of a stand pipe
for a supply of water to all parts Of
Snow Hill, preparing against a like
calamity which befell our town one
year ago. The business houses Of
Snow Hill are now much better than
ever before, nice, large brick buildings
with c0mmodious show windows. The
interior OF these building have been
fitted up with all modern improve
ments and present clean and cheerful
appearance. We can see bright pros
poets for Snow Hills future and we
think our business men, generally, are
imbued with the determination of
making this town 90 10 the front of
Peninsula towns. In the burnt district
there are yet vacant lots to be built
upon, some of these are owned by
persons who are not able to build
houses upon them, they are willing.
but have not the wherewith to accom-
plish their desires, this opens a field
for safe investments for men of means.
Thousands of dollars now lying idle
in Baltimore and other nearby cities
can find good returns by being invested
in new buildings in the ne'c Snow HILL.
Dwelling houses are in demand as we'll
as storehouses and rentals at 6 per
cent clear of taxes and insurance can
easily be realized.
We extend hearty invitation to
good citizens of this and other States
who are looking for desirable loca-
ton for factories TO correspond with
our Mayor and city council, who will
give you substantial inducements to
locate in a town which is growing
steadily and rapidly-not ON prema-
ture boom-but on the solid rock OF
business advancement. In all that
has contributed to the welfare and
advancement of Snow Hill the MIS-
sENGER has played conspicuous part.
1t intends to go right ahead with the
good work until our grand old town
Outstrips its neighbors. 1t is ready to
lend a helping hand to every CON-
mendable enterprise. 1t knows no
such thing as failure for such God.
favored section and it shall continue
to work for Snow Hill and Worcester
county, the garden spot of the Del
marvia Peninsula. until her fame ha.
spread from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
