RETAIL ADVERTISING.

Printers Ink: A thing that must be extremely fatiguinlg to anybody who knows the facts is the intermittent crit icism of bargain advertising by men who know absolutely nothing about it.
 The man who never had an hours ex- perience in a retail business, and who goes into dry goods store not more than once a year, is the one who tells you that all the bargain advertising is humbug, and that man is neces- sarily a rascal because he uses odd figures in making his prices. There are a great many men who believe that if they do not understand thing it must certainly be wrong. A man told me once that John Wanamaker was a frightful liar because he advertised some S5 shoes of a certain make for S3 or S2.50, or something of that sort
 I asked him what made him think so
 He said that Wanamaker couldn't buy the shoes at that price. He didn't seem to understand that no matter what Wanamaker paid for the shoes, they were his-that he owned them ab- soluteLy, and that he might take them

BOYCOTT ON ARMOUR.

KANSAS CITY, May 1.-The strike of thirty-four firemen of the Armour Packing company has assumed inlierna- tional proportions and there is no tell ing where or how it w:ll end. The strikers have already peI5.tioned the national council Of ithe Federation of Labor to declare an international boy colt against the Armour products and is is the belief of labor men that the boycott will be declared. The order of boycott will be spread throughout the different local labor lodges. When formally issued Armour will, it is said, fight the boycott by an injunction in the federal court.

the government includes 1t In the mass
OF currency which it has promised to
keep at par with gold. Faith in the
ability to perform that promise would
vanish In such O. case.s
Now, in turn, we would like to ask
Voter two questions. which we have
kept standingfsfor a long time without
any satisfactory reply. The first is
why, In Mexico, where a Mexican dol
lar is a full legal tender and the Ameri-
can standard dollar is not, you cannot
get a gold dollar in exchange for
a Mexican dollar, but you can get two
Mexican dollars foran American stand
ard dollar, which contains about six
grains less silver than the Mexican
coin? The second question Is, If the
comforting of the legal tender func-
ton upon anylobject puts it at a par
with gold, why, the, government should
not make not only standard silver dol
lars, but nickeypieoes, copper cents and
poker chips each legal tender for one
dollar, or for a. thousand dollars, as
the case may be, and thus multiply
wealth instantly. and indefinitely and
make us all rich at once?

of the East could bring to bear to as
sist the treasury and sustain the credit
of the country. AS the banks came to
the rescue of the treasury reserve by
replenishing it's gold fund, so the men,
powerful in financial circles have ex-
erted all their efforts to prevent fur
Their export of gold, and to turn the
tide, if possible, in the other direction.
They thus give the lie to those who
have charged Wall street with at
tempting to precipitate a panic, in or
der to affect the political situation.
On the contrary, if the moneyed men
of the East had chosen at any time
since the Chicago convention to bring
disaster and collapse upon the financial
interests of this country. they could
have done it with breath; so tren-
bling and lettering was the edifice of
our currency. But, just at time to
be effective in behalf of the cause
which they themselves support, they
have banded together to make market
conditions easier and to restore gen.
eral confidence. If the import of ST.
100000 of gold is followed by other con-
signments that will bring back to us
$15,000,OOO or s2O,O00OOO of the amount
that the treasury has lost, it will go
a long way toward banishing the last
doubt from the public mind
That this could not have been
done but for the growing belief
that Mr.. Bryan's cause is hopeless,
we have not the slightest doubt.
A further slight indication of this is
possibly to be seen in the small de-
cline in the price of silver bullion. Con-
ditions will restore themselves rapidly
to the normal as quickly as the people
feel sure that there is to be no revolu-
ton, financial or otherwise, in this
country. The general belief at the pres
ent time that there is no possibility of
Mr.. Bryan's election, based upon re-
ports from all quarters during the past
ten days, has proved a restorative and
tonic. Let us once be certain that this
country proposes to maintain its pres
ent monetary system, and to stand on
a level with the other civilized nations
of the world and we believe that our
own people, even the most sanguine
of them, will be amazed at the immedi-
ate outburst of business activity, the
rise in value Of all kinds of property,
and the general return of prosperity
that shall include in its blessings cap
ital and labor alike

FRAN IS SAFE.
DR.. Nansen's Vessel Has Arrived in

Port.
CHRISTIANIA, Aug. 20-Dr. Nam
sens ship, Fran which he left
embedded in the ice, early in
January, 1895, arrived at Skjorvoe,
province of Tromsoe, yesterday
evening. Capt Sverdrup, her
commander, reports all well on board
The Fran, he added. called at Danes
island on Aug. II, and saw Prof. An
dree, who was still waiting for favor
able wind, in order to enable him to
attempt his balloon trip across the
Arctic region. Capt. Sverdrup, short
ly after his arrival, sent the following
telegram to DR.. hansen:
Fran arrived safely. All well on
board. Leaves at once for Tromsoe
Welcome home
DR.. Nansen replied to this message
as follows:
thousand times welcome to you
and all. Hurrah for the Fran.
The Fran left Skjorvoe this morn
ing on her way to Tromsoe, where Dr.
hansen will meet her
Additional details received from
Skjero regarding DR.. Nansen's arctic
exploring ship Fran, are to the effect
that the boat drifted from point IS. 50
degrees north. The greatest sea depth
obtained by sounding was 2185
fathoms. The lowest temperature noted
was 81 degrees below zero. Il. H
Johansen, the stoker, it is reported,

death. He was attacked by a polar
bear but was rescued by DR.. hansen,
who shot the animal. DIR. hansen gain

the future lighting of the city as re-
CURED by law. The preamble of the
resolution recites the lighting con-
tracts under which certain duties were
70 be performed by the board of public
works, and the adoption Of the act
substituting commissioner of public
works therefor.
The real intent of the resolution is
to supply the defects in the act of 1895.
which does not impose upon the com
missioner of public works the duties
that devolve upon the board Of public
works relative to the lighting of the
| city. Whether the common council can
supply what an act of the Legislature
has omitted remains to be seen.
Mr.. Lewis explained that the resolu-
ton had been prepared by the assistant
corporation attorney and Commits
sioner of Public Works Copeland, for
the purpose of authorizing the COM
missioner to perform the duties that
formerly devolved upon the board of
public works with reference to the
contracts for lighting the city with
electricity, gas and gasoline. The
resolution was adopted.
Assemblyman Thompson introduced
a resolution instructing the commits
sioner of public works and the city en-
gineer to open up a driveway on the
levee from the foot of Jackson street
to Eagle street, and to remove all OBJ
Structions that it may be necessary to
clear away in order to provide such
driveway. The resolution was adopted,
and If 1T becomes effective, it may
necessitate the tearing up Of several
railroad tracks. Mr.. Thompson ex
planned to the assembly that there is
a street along the levee and that the
city granted the Omaha & Milwaukee
railroad companies the right to lay
only two tracks along the levee but
that the companies had overStepped
their rights and practically confiscated
the street by laying additional tracks.
The mayors communication an
nouncing the promotion of Michael
Gerhard to the rank of sergeant and
the appointment of James Troy as
patrolman, was referred to the COM
mittee on police.
The following police appointments
were then confirmed on recommended
ton of the committee on police: Louis
J. Calvin, August Christopherson,
James Holland, Charles H. Gerber,
John Lindon.
A preliminary order was passed for
the repaving Sherburne avenue from
Rice street to the terminus of the ave
nue..
The resolution to vacate the alley adj
jacent to the Northern Pacific general
office building was referred to the COM
mittee on streets.
Assemblymen Lewis and Kirke were
appointed members of the special joint
committee, created for the purpose of
considering the construction Of a new
bridge on Raymond avenue.
The resolution instructing the city
engineer to put Dale street in good
order for carriage travel from Fair
mont street to Como avenue was adopt
ed.
Mr. Lewis called attention, during the
course of the meeting, to the fact that
the council some time ago had adopted
a resolution directing the street rail-
way company to repave that portion of
the Wabasha street bridge between its
tracks, but that the company had
practically ignored the resolution, as it
had laid nothing but few planks.

ests In the insofvent properties, and are
they those by whose direction the in
terests that should be the first and
most importunate care of the court will
be most likely to realize something
from their investments? 1t is a great
responsibility that has been thrown
upon our Judiciary through the finan-
cial reverSes of such an enormous
number of railways, and we are
sure that the duties attending it
have been discharged. upon the whole,
with fidelity. Still we believe that
President Story is right; that when a
railroad becomes bankrupt every
other consideration should sink out Of
sight in comparison with what will be
of most benefit to those who nave put
their money into 1t; that the court,
into whose hands the business goes,
should manage it actually, and not
only in name, by selecting its own
agents and naming such as nave had
no previous connection with the prop
erty. In doing this there should be
the amplest notice to the stockholders
themselves, and their advice and CO.
operation should be sought at every
step of the proceeding. We believe
that the courts themselves are now
of this way Of thinking, but it is well
that the opinion of the profession and
of the public in general should rein
force and sustain a view of their duty
with maintaining the dignity and
honor of the bench, or doing justice TO
class of investors who have suffered
more from bad judgment, when not
from actual dishonesty, in the devel-
opment of this country, than any
others
