Weather FORECAST.
PRESENT BUT ABSENT.

Congressman Reed is about to have a
sweet revenge. The Democratic party
with clear working majority in the
House is unable to command quorum
for business on obstructed measures. 1t
has tried various devices to whip and
coax in the members, but under the abb
surd policy to which the party committed
itself regarding ex-Speaker Reeds count
ing ruling, the Democrats have found
themselves completely blocked.
In this extremity the Rules Committee
rule. practically that which the Republi-
cans under Mr.. Reed established. 1t was
a sensible rule, one fortified by reason
and common sense. Mr.. Reed held that
a member of the House in his seat should
be counted s'present" on a roll-call for a
quorum, whether he answered to his
name or not; that the Speaker would
take notice of the fact that A, B and G
were present, though they refused to
be present for the purpose of voting when
he chose, and be counted absent though
in fact present, by merely closing his
mouth when he desired to break a
quorum.
Upon this ruling the Democratic party
antagonized the Republicans, and held
before the country that unless men,
Der responds to roll-call he is to be con-
sidered as absent though the evidence is
before the whole House that he is actually
present. When the new Congress came
in, therefore, the Reed ruling was re-
versed. The Republicans and opposi-
ton Democrats thereupon availed of this
reversal and blocked the business of the
House by sitting silent.
After variety of fruitless expedients
to defeat these tactics, such as docking"
the silent members of their per diem
wages, attempts to impose fines, arrests
under call of the House, etc., the Demo-
Gratis are now compelled to report count
ing rule which, it is indicated. is practi
cally the same as that set up by Mr.. Reed,
namely that a member actually in his
seat shall be counted present for the pur-
poses of quorum. The Democratic ma
jority of the Rules Committee having
thus agreed on Monday sent for the two
Republican members of the committee,
one of whom is Mr.. Reed, and the new
rule was thereupon formally adopted for
report. Just what it is in detail probably
to-day's dispatches will reveal. but pres
ent advices announce it as a clear tri-
umph for Reed and complete retreat by
the Democrats from the position they
have heretofore occupied, and under
which they dubbed the Maine Congress
man SCAR Reed"
If this reported situation is correctly
stated by the Washington dispatches, the
Democrats need not feel at all inundated.
It is manly and to their credit to recede
from false position. 1t is better to eat
crow than to persist in error. If their
Republican opponents make capital out
of the retreat, well and good; it is the
fortune of political war. The Reed rul-
ing was right, and by the mass of the
American people is so regarded still. It
is the logic Of common-sense.

AN ingenious fellow has adapted q
small incandescent shield to fit within
the casing of keyhole. By pushing a
screw-head the lamp Is made to shine and
illuminate the keyhole so that one can
select the proper key from his bunch by
aid of the light that is shed, and to insert
the key without fumbling. But all this
proceeds upon the idea that the possessor
of the key has his wits sufficiently clear
to find the keyhols even with the aid Of

SHORT TALKS ON ADVERTISING.

John Waparuaker has snid: stIo dlscon- tinue an advertisement is like taking down your sign."
 - That is just the idea. You have sign above your door to let people know who you are and where you are, and what you are doing. That's what your ad. does. Space in newspapers merely multiplies your sign. It lets thousands of people know what you have to sell. The way to think of advertising is to consider first the goods you have, to see if they are really desirable. Then figure on the number of pc ople likely to see your announcement in the paper, the proportion of possible customers among that number and what you can afford to pay for each dollars worth of new business. That will give you the size of the ad. you ought to use. Then make your ad. clear, logical, convincing. Don't try to be funny unless you are naturally so, and even then don t do it too often. What people want in an ad. is exact, definite information. It ought to be given to them in a smooth, more or Less argumentative way and as strongly as possible, for the s'other fel- low' is af;er these same people.
 The amount to be spent for advertising must be determined by the percentage of profits and the percentage of possible cus- toners. It doesn't pay to buy advertising blindly, no matter how good 1t is. fyou are selling 5000 week at gross profit of 25 per cent and can increase the sales to S1250 at cost of $50 for advertising you are a clear $12.50 ahead. Rent and clerk hire, light and heat and interest all go on just the same, whether you sell $1000 or $1250. It is advertising that brings in the money to pay all the other expenses. Ad- vertising is business insurance.
 Advertising what you haven't got, or what don t do is worse than not advertis- ing at all. You can't well be too careful about this. Make your ads. strictly true in letter and spirit. believe that the ma jority of business men do this now, but as it is the most important thing about adver- tising, it will bear repeating and reiter- atlng.
 When merchants and laymen come to consider advertising In its legitimate char acter of "business .news," it will pay bet ter-pay the advertiser better and the ad- vertisee. too.

ADGER ABLAZE
Speaking, in Which Underwood and Little Were the Orators.

ADaER, Sept. 26.-[Special. 1.-The larg- est political meeting held at this place since the exciting campaign of 1892 was assembled tonight to hear Oscar Wy-trn- derwood, demoera.ic nominee for congress, c1df 5oiicitor Little. The hall was crowded with miners and ladies, and number of farmers were present.
 MT. Underwood made an able and inter- esting address, which was heartily ap- plauded. MT. Little then entertained the audience by short, bright speech, which captured the crowd. After the speaking many voters joined the democratic club. There was much enthusiasm, and it is safe to say that four fifths of the white voters of this precinct are for Underwood.
 After the speaking the first grand ball since the strike began. MT. Underwood and Miss Hillhouse, MT. Little and Miss Meds led the grand march of fifty couples. The dance is still proceeding at this late hour, under James Cody as floor manager, and democratic enthusiasm reigns in Blue Creek.
 Our usual chairman, President James Hillhouse, Sr., presided.
