OVERMYER'S REWARD.
Talked of For Attorney-General in
 Bland's Cabinet.

CHICAGO, July 9.-There is Bland cabinet talk in the air. Dave Over myer is the newest member of the lat est cabinet. Funnier things have hap pened. Mr. Oyermyer, according to late advices, is to have a chance to rest his short, fat legs under the cabinet table. He may explain to President Bland the progress he Is making in slashing trusts. Presiding over the de- partment of justice, he will have a chance to right wrongs and depart from the iniquity of Olney, Harmon and Cleveland Then it is explained that David may take great pleasure in kicking Hoke Smith out of the interior department. David does not like Hoke or any of his outfit. He is just the sort of fellow who would like to have a print of his toe on Hoks's system. But to be real serious, MT. Overmyer stands high in Bland circles, and he ought to. He has done much work for him and is still at it. The best worked single job so far in the Bland fight has been done by Overmyer and this fact is known. In case Bland is elected he ought to be allowed to drink butter milk out of Bland's cup.

COMING OUR WAY.

There is never great loss without some small gain and in times of loss and depression how very eagerly do we grasp and make much of the grain of comfort. Alkire's are, during these good goldbug times offering many grains of comfort for few grains of silver. The most remarkable of their recent bargains is in figured summer silks, which they are offering at 15 cents per yard. Whoever before heard of a good grade of silk being sold for 15 cents per yard? Why, at this rate every daughter of Eve in Arizona can have a silk dress. We'll, after all, who has any more right to dress in silk than Arizona femininity? Alkire's are willing and would enjoy keeping few clerks busy for a while exchang- ing silk for cash at the rate of yard for every 15 cents.
