REPRESENTATIVE BRYAN, of
Nebraska, is just as enthusiastic in
his advocacy of the building of the
Nicaragua Canal, as Senator, Nor
gan, of Alabama, but he proposes,
in a bill now before the Commerce
committee OF the House, to do it in
a different way. His bill calls for
an issue of $7o,ooo,ooo in green
backs, to be used to purchase con-
trolling interest in the stock of the
company and for the building OF
the canal under the control Of a
board of eleven directors, eight OF
them to to represent the United
States.

What / Learned the FIRST Week as 4
Canyassing AgNNl4

That dogs are not always rs sound
asleep as our honorable executives
are said to be,
That a man can sometimes find the
gate easier than the front door,
That there are great many more
combination gate latches than you
would suspect, until you try the road
few days,
That there are few "Mrs Caudles"
that Douglas Jerrold never knew,
That, although the average agents
tongue is hard to beat, they usually
have to give in when they tackle a
"Mrs. Caudle,"
That when MRS. Caudle's" tongue
fails to accomplish Its purpose, an old
broom sometimes sweeps fully as clean
as new one,
That the best way to lose your re
ligion, your temper, your character
and the seat Of your pants is to be al

Too Old to be Mt Il.

Last Friday Deputy Marshal Ray
brought old Mrs. Martha Caraway Of
Carter county before Commissioner
Folsom of Elizabethton on a warrent
charging her with consealing "moOn-
shine" in her house while her daughter
was disposing of it without license.
Mrs. Caraway was about go years old
and had nursed the marshal when he
was an infant. The old lady was bound
over to court. Teter Nave was tried al
the same time for selling whiskey in
johnson City on Sunday. He had to
give bond also.

When everybody is hoping for the
return OF better times, ca n straw that
shows the wind to be blowing from
that quarter, is worthy of special no.
tice. There is no barometer so relia--
BILE at the demand for goods. Nobody
buys stock for fun or for appearances.
Our advertisers, The Charles E.
Hires Company,of Philadelphia, trans
act business over very wide field,
dealing in every city,town, village and
cross roads in the country. They re-
port that the sales Of Hires Rooihcer
so far this season are very much in tx-
cess of the same period last year,
When it is remembered that their an
nual sales have before this reached the
enormous total of 1880, 27S packages,
which equals more than a gallon for
every family in the country, it would
seem at first thought that there is lit
tie room for further growth. Thirst
for it, however, seems to be universal,
as this years report shows very large
gain, indicating that ere long the per-
son who does not drink Hires Root
beer will be somewhat OF a curiosity.
No temperance beverage has ever
anywhere nearly approachen Hires
Rootbeer in popularity. It's wonderful
success can be accounted for only on
the ground that it is just what the
manufacturers claim-an honest ex-
tract OF natures most healthiul roots,
which slakes thirst, improves health,
and pleases every member Of the fam
lily. Its remarkable sale certainly
proves that millions enjoy Hires Root
beer.

A Card to the Voters of Washington

lively l am.

candidates for other offices, went be-
fore the Republicans in a primary
election, willing myself to submit to
the voice of the people through this
primary, and that whosoever received

nominee of the party. In that prima-
ry / received an honest and fair, un-
disputed, majority over all opponents,

Justly due the race. If am not, then
those who received a majority vote
with me for the clerks of the county,
for register, for trustee, and for~fepre-
sentative, are not entitled to the race
and the primary was farce and fail
ure from the beginning to the end.
But / do not think it this way.

this majority vote was justly entitled
to the race, and, had l been beaten il
the primary by Mr.. Hickey or by Mr.
Martin, would never have though
of forcing my name upon the part!
through the rattle of a convention
clique, but, like fair and honest man
would have stepped down and out ant
waited my turn, or until the party wa
ready to endorse my candidacy.
