One of the first questions to he decided is
how much to spend for advertising. After
that comes Glow to spend it, The
amount must depend of course, on the size
of the business and the percentage of profits
In emergencies and extra dull times add
tional expenditure is required. The same
idea applied to the apportionment OF the APP
preparation is gooi thing, too.
Ordinarily, of course, the size of space
used would be the same from day to day,
but varying conditions of trade should be
met by variations in the size of the ad.
Every business house, no matter how
small, should have in convenient tabulated
form the exact amount of business tran
sacted in each day, each week and each
month of the preceding year. Alongside
these figures should be placed the results of
the present business. In that way losses
and gains are Immediately apparent. You

although the great majority of those who
witnessed it were disposed to look with favor
upon the new law there was a strong move
ment in favor of a return to the old method
of capital punishment.
This was only little over three years
ago, and yet eectrocution has become so
thoroughly established in the Empire State
that there is no disposition in any quarter to
question its permanence. The second cleo
trocution was conceded to be a success by
the medical experts present and from that
time to this the new method of execution
has made marked progress in public favor.
This death penalty has been inflicted upon
nearly thirty murderers in New York since
August, 1890, and public prejudice has
practically disappeared in that State.
Vermont has so few murders that the
adoption Of electrocutiun has awakened
comparatively little interest among our PEG
pile, but there is a marked disposition to
adopt this death penalty for condemned
convcts in other States. Massachusetts, has
begun an investigation into the merits of
electrocuton. and a bill has been intro
duced into the Maryland legislature propos-
ing this means of execution as a substitute
| for hanging, where a person has been con
victed of murder in the first degree. 1t is
true that public sentiment in that
! State has been given fresh impetus
by two hanginss within its borders
recently, the details of which were SC
shocking and barburous that a general wish
| has been expressed for the adoption of some
other means of disposing of capital Grim
inais. This feeling i, indicated by the posi-
ton taken by the Baltimore Medical society
that lin the interest Of public decency anL
humanity electrocuton as the death penalty
for crime is preferable to hanging" The
chances are strongly in favor of the adop
ton of electrocution in the Monumental
State and its introduction in other State
will undoubtedly be proved to be only {
question of time

One of the numerous subjects of import
ance which have commanded the attention
of Congressman Powers has been that of
rebel war claims, not few of which have
been recently revived Judge Powers as a
member of the House judiciary committee
has been i'll an excellent position to make
determined opposition to favorable action on
these claims by the majority in the House,
and he has been wagiug an interesting CON
test in that connection.
Some of the readers of the FREE PRESS
may not have complete understanding of
the nature of these claims, and for their
benefit we will briefly summarize the case.
During the war Congress passed an act to
the effect that all captured and abandoned
property taken by the army should be turned
over to the treasury department aud sold aud
the proceeds covered into the treasury: and
any loyal owner of any such property might
within two years on proof of loyalty and
seizure OF his property under said act prefer
suit in tho court of claims to recover the
proceeds of his property. The president is
sued general pardon to all who would take
the oath of allegiance and to all such de
clared restoration to them Of all their
rights and privileges. The Supreme Court
has decided by divided court, Justices Mil
| Ter and Bradley dissenting that this pardon
enables anybody, even & disoyal man, to
Sue for the proceeds of his property taken
and proceeds covered into the treasury.
During the absence Of Judge Powers in
the West, bill providing for the removal
of the two year limit from southern claim
! of this kind was referred to the committee
on the judiciary and upon the strength of
the decision above referred TO was 10y a
unanimous vote reported favorably. Judge
Powers upon his return succeeded in getting
a new hearing and securing a strong min
GRITTY report adverse to the bill lie took
| the very sensible ground that although q
pardon granted by the president is til,
exercise of power given him by
the Constitution and so is beyond the power
of the Legislative branch to call in question
nevertheless such pardon cannot avail &c
confer a new right never enjoyed and there
fore never forfeited by disloyalty, and henc,
cannot give a right to these proceeds in tn,
treasury, for the reason that the act of Con
| Sfess proNlulhB Iual lho plOceels Oh cap
tured property should be covered into the
treasury, was ex Vi tel1uni, a confscatiol
of such property; and the act only granted
the right to reclaim to loyal persons. As t.
dislsyal persons, Congress gave no right o
reclamation, and so does not as to such dis
loyal persons hold such proceeds in trust.
Congressman Powers says that if this b.
sound and it be sound to say that pardon
can only restore rights which have been los
and they could not be lost unless they had
before loss, been enjoyed then it follow
that the pardon only gives the right to su

The Canadian government is evidently
determined to wait until the tariff question
is settled in the United States before taking
action with regard to this issue in its own
territory. If the tariff smashers give our
Canadian cousins free trade without any
concession in return, the tariff problem of
the Dominion will be made very simple.
Canada will have nothing to do but turn its
surplus upon the American market, and
protect its own markets in favor of Great
Britain.
