LARGEST DAILY CITY CIRCULATION.
PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN

The political speculation prior to any National election; was never as great at like period as now. This cause is due to the fact that more issues have presented themselves in this campaign than in former ones, for up to the last election the tariff was about tbe only question between the two old parties, whereas at. present, both the tariff and coinage are being dealt with to a consider able extent. The Republicans throughout the country are contend ing that the tariff question is the "overshadowing issue" at stake, while the Democrats of the North and East are almost universally in favor of sound money and letting the Wilson bill stand indefinitely, while the party, as whole, in the South and West insists upon a further reduction of tariff duties and the free coinage of silver in un- limited quantities. In proportion to these various interests, availabil- ity of Presidential candidates has been considered until there is nu section without 'sits favorite son whose name has been prominently men toned in connection with the Presidency" But these differences in opinion are rapidly adjusting themselves, and it is safe to predict that the battle of 1896 will be fought out on about the same lines as the campaign of 1892, except that the heads of tickets will be chosen from sections irrespective of their geo. graphical location, the country hay ing grown out of the vulgar preiu- dice that virtue and patriotism are bound together by any particular lines of latitude.
 In many States which were con- sidered the bulwark of the free sil- yer sentiment, conventions have been held, and in most cases the re- suits have been disappointment to the silver advocates, notably, Ohio, Iowa and Kentucky, which show that the silver agitation, except as it applies to international bimetalism, is losing strength daily and will have little influence in shaping the party's platform in 1896.
 Sweeping reductions in the tariff, " which used to be the battle cry in the South when she was given over almost wholly to agriculture, is being eliminated in proportion to her growth in manufactures, and when the convention rolls around, the Democratic party will be almost as unit upon the tariff, if the pro gress i'll manufactures in the South is as great in the next year as it has been in the preceding one.

REIGN OF HIGH CARNIVAL
St. Louis In Blaze of Glory Seven Weeks
 of Uninterrupted Gaiety.

The name of America's greatest carnival center--St. Louis--will be blazoned on the skies of gaiety from September 4th to October 19, 1895. The eighteenth annual reign of carni- val will pervade the city, and for seven weeks European capitals noted for their season of mystery and re- gal entertainment will gracefully bow to the superiority of the city on the banks of the Mississippi.
 September vii mark the opening of the Twelfth Annnal St. Louis Expo sition. This splendid feature of St. Louis carnival period will remain open until October 19. In addition to Sousa's world-famed band, many new attractions will be offered. Sep- tember to If, the celebrated French Equilibrists, the Kins-Ners, will ap- pear. September 15 to 2S, Caicedo. "the King of the Wire" and Louis Oloriz, "the Man Monkey" by their unique entertainments will delight the fun-loving public. September 90 to October 12, Ivan Tscheroff's celebrated educated mules, the Russian dogs, are carded for series of wonderful performances. October 13 to 19. Price Kokin, the greatest ejuggler alive, will fill an engagement while Buck Tay- Tor and troupe of native Sioux Indi- ans and Miss Cornelia Campbell Bed ford, of New York, Demonstration of Cooking, will appear every day dur ing the Exposition season.
 That mysterious parsonage, King Hotu, and his retinue will give day light parade September 27. This one of the most unique attractions of the carnival season in St. Louis, and is grotesquely staged. October to 12, the world-beater, the great St. Louis Fair, will be the attraction. On the evening of October His Majesty, the Yelled Prophet and royal court, will parade the principal thoroughfares
  of the city, followed by the famous ball which is known throughout the land.

CHEAP AMERICAN PENCILS.
Barbarous Waste of Valuable Csdar,
the Germans Say.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29, 1S95-United
States Consul Theodore II. Stephan at
Annaberg, Germany, in a report to the
Department of State, gives publicity to
the complaint of Ernst Faber, the Ger
man lead pencil maker, as to cheap
American pencils.
1.-THE valuable cedar wood" Mr.. Faber
says, sis wasted in a barbarous man
ner in America; whole districts of the
finest forest LAND have been cleared but
never replanted, so that we obtain al
ways more rarely really good cedar
wood, and the blocks which we are now
obliged to use supply only half as many
pencils as formerly. Not only does the
cost of the production of the pencils rise
considerably in consequence of the bad
wood, but the American industry pours
upon the market its surplus product of
thousands of gross below cost price, and
so depresses the prices in countries which
impose only low duties or non at all.
The consequence of this is that the
German manufacturers can only compete
at a loss, and that the trade in cheap
markets, such as India, Mexico, Japan,
Australia, etc., is as good as lost. The
English market has been literally swamp
ed of late years with cheap American
pencils at ridiculously low prices. The
as ~unfavorable to the German export
trade as in the United States. Italy,
Russia and France impose immense du-
ties on pencils, and in France the use of
German pencils in schools, public boards,
railways, etc., is forbidden"

LIGHT COMING.
Ne Delay in Completing the
Electric Plant for the
Boulevard.
WORK At SNAKE HILL POWER HOUSE
Poles All Up and the Zig t Ez-
pected in December-Causes
of Apparent Delay.

Those who use the Boulevard by night
complain that the road is not yet lighted
by electricity, and of course the poor
contractor, the engineer and the Free
holders are jumped on for the delay.
Horsemen n bicyclists returning by
night along the dark highway, from the
Point or upper section of the road, oe-
casionaly come into collision. cuss words
are exchanged, and after complimenting
each other they join in harshly abusing
the county officials.
This time, however, the county Off
cials are not to blame. In fact, the
work of lighting the road is going ahead
very satisfactorily.
The contract for Illuminating the Boule-
ward calls for the completion of the work
by January. 1. 1t will be finished two
months before that time.
Their has been no delay in putting
up the poles and wires" said Engineer
Edlow w. Harrison this morning; lin
fact, Contractor Connolly has pushed the
work very rapidly. All the poles are
up, and there are only three miles of
wire to be strung"
POWER HOUSE BUILDING.
The power house to supply the road
with electricity is located at a Hill,
and the work there is being hurried along
so thai the contractor may be able to
tighten the darkness of the people on
the Boulevard, who continually rage at
the delay within a months time. In the
course of building the power house and
putting on the dynamos and other ma
chinery, the work was unavoidably de-
layed by the changing of the smoke
stack from iron to brick.
The men are working now at the
foundation in the power house. The
concrete bed is finished and at present
the timbers for the su~perstructure are
being put in. When this is dom the dy-
namos are all ready to be placed in
position. So also is it with the engine.
1t is already on the foundation and the
steampipes connecting the condensers are
now being fitted. The work in this and
other branches is going along at a rapid
ate. Mr.. Connolly is anxious to have it
all finished and off his hands, and it
will be completed within the time speci-
fed by contract.
A MAGNIFICENT SIGHT.
When the arc lamps are fixed and
the power turned on the road will pre-
sent a splendid appearance.
A road fourteen miles long, with bril-
liant lamps at equi-distant points in
its whole length, will make the Bou1e-
ward a delightful place for driving or
riding. When the road IS covered with
enow then the sleighs will add to the
beauty of the scene. n what with bob
sleds, belly cutters" and tandeIns there
will be plenty of fun in a month or tWo's

Latest nv ntioni n the Pottery Trade
Which Has Novel Features.
A burial case made of vitrifed terra Gotta
is one of the latest inventions in the pottery
trade, and one which the originator of the
system of interment now in vogue. The
patentee, who is a resident of Los Angeles,
Cal, was in Trenton a short time ago trying
to make arrangements with some OF the
potters for the manufacture of these collins
Some of the features of his device are both
novel and interesting.
For instance. the several sections of which
the casket is made are put together with a
specially prepared casket, and the lid
fastened down in the same manner SO that
when the whole is fastened and sealed
it is said to be absolutely alright. The air
can then be pumped from the coffin by the
use of a syphon tube or hose, and it IS
claimed that the body, when thus hermeti-
cally sealed, can be kept for any length of
time desired without decaying and without
the slightest danger to the health OF those
having it in charge. The lid of the casket is
to be fitted with a glass covering, so that the
face of the dead can be looked upon when
ever desired by the friends OF the family.
The invention is one which it is supposed
will commend itself to Cinnamon in this
country and elsewhere, since they are often
compelled to keep their dead for a long time
in order to have them inferred in their
native land. The caskets are also provided
with terra Gotta tablets, on which can be
written the names of the deceased n the
data usually found upon tombstones. These
being written upon material of an imperish-
able character, can be as plainly read a
thousand years hence as at the time they are

The force of the explosion was terrific.
Several night watchmen employed about the
works were knocked down and bruised, but

The shock was felt for miles around. 1t
was plainly perceptible at Morristown. there
being a noticeable trembling of the earth.
The sky was Illuminated with a bright

DOVER, Oct. 20, 1S95.-The explosion of
the tank at the Forcite Powder Works last
night was plainly heard in Dover, nine
miles away. Twenty dollars will cover the
loss.
That nobody was fatally injured is ac-
counted for by the fact that during the day
the employees noticed that the contents Of the
cooling tank were boiling. It was impossi-
bic to remedy this, and the workmen all fed
from the premises. The boiling which re-
sultedin the explosion was caused by a leak.
which allowed the admittance OF air into the
tank. As the cooling tank was located at an
isolated spot, but little damage was done to
the other building.
