BEGINNING ~
THURSDAY, Sept. 3.
A Word
OF Exclamation

Conditions with which we are all
more or less familiar have COM
pletely upset all the calculations Of
Importers. There is a Widespread
craze for iuw-priccd goods and deal
-rs in tine. foreign-made hosiery find
themselves generally loaded down
with big stocks and heavy obliSa-
tons. and littl" cash to meet them.
Banks will no longer discount paper
readily, and when hard pinched for
money there is but one thing left
for the importer, and that Is to find
Il firm that has the ready cash to
help him out in exchange for goods
on the best terms he can make with
them.
These facts explain why We are
enabled to offer such extraordinary
values, for these are the conditions
under which we bought the goods.

HEROIC MR.. SEWALL.
He Is Willing That Bryan Should Accept
the POpulistic Nomination. Tom
Watson and All.

Chicago, Sept. 3.-Several days ago
Chairman Jones of the Democratic Ma
tional committee wrote Mr.. Arthur Sc
wall, stating that many Democrats
Throughout the country. and especially
throughout the west, were objecting to
fusion with the Populists on electoral
tickets for the reason that they do not
wish to be disloyal to Sewall. In reply
to General Jones, Mr.. Sewall forward
ed the following copy of letter writ
ten to Mir. Bryan:
Bath. Ne, July q. 1896
w. j. Bryan. Lincoln, Neb.
NV Dear Bryan: In view of the action
of the St Louis convention today l can
not refrain from giving you my thoughts
on the situation. My adviceS are that you
have been nominated as candidate for
president and Mr.. Watson for vice presi-
dent. ! also learn through press ms
patches that you are somewhat Undecided
whether you ought to accept or decline.
Now, | desire to say 10 you, with the ut
most frankncsS and good feeling, thHt
you must not allow any personal consid-
cration for me to influence you in your ac-
tiou | desire that YOU will do just what
YOU believe is best for the success of the
head of the ticket. The principles We are
lighting for are so paramount to any per-
sonal considerations thar the latter should
not have any weight or influence whatever
in your action. | cannot for a moment
allow myself to be a factor in any action
on your part that would in the slightest
degree hazard an electoral vote for you
with kind regards to Mrs. Bryan and be-
lieve me your sincere friend.
Arthur Sewall.
Chairman Jones. referring to the
above letter said
''Thc talk about the retirement of our
candidate for vice president is too alb
surd To be seriously considered. Mr..
Sewalls letter written Just after the
nomination Of Mr.. Bryan by the st.
Louis convention Is Il splendid illus
tration of his loyalty to his associate

Su.vERITE SAM SMALL.

Rev. Sam Small has ceased pounding the
pulpit. for the present at least, ard is now
endeayoring to convert his hearers to the
cause of free silver. He has just returned
| from trip through Illinois and. like all
OF the Popocratic spellbinders, he reports
everything going for Bryan ana free sill
YER. If he made any other sort OF report
| he would lose his job. Saml always has
his eve on the main chance.
The Democratic congressional campaign
committee Is helping to elect free silver
Republican candidates to congress where
ever they they are opposed by Democrats
whose financial views are in doubt There
are forty free silver Republicans in the
present house and Senator Faulkner will
be well content to see them reelected. The
| congressional committee here is bending
all its efforts TO elect Il free silver ma jority
| rather than Democratic one to the next
house. Their claims that they are like
ly to do this do not seem extravagant
when one stops TO think for momeut.
Tie thirty-cight Republican members
from tn" South in the present congress
will likely be greatly reduced. The pres
ent Democratic representation from New
York. Pennsylvania. Iowa and Illinois Is
smaller than ii has ever been since the
war. 1t Is very probable that the DEM
Ucratic representation from these STATES
will be greatly increased in the next house.
There is danger that the sound money ma
iority in the present house will he meta
morphosed into Il minority in the next.
The weak point in Senator Faulkner's rea-
soning is that he relies on all Democrats
who are elected to vote as a unit in or
ganiZing the house, forgetting that party
lines are rapidly being eradicated and
new ones drawn. For instance. If the five
Democratic members fran New York
should be swcll-d to fifteen in the next
congress the same proportion of increase
in Pennsylvania, Ohio. Indiana and ILL
nois. the majority of this increased DEM
ocratic representation would not vote with
the free silver Democrats, but with the
sound money Republicans. So. while
Faulkner's claims may not be extravn-
giant as viewed from his standpoint, still
when viewed from another they are not
likely TO be realized.
The denomination of Congressman Kulp
by the Republicans in the Seventeenth
district was a wise selection. " any Ee-
publican can carry that usually Demo-
cratic district. Mr.. Hulp can. He is the
first Republican elected to congress from
that district for many years. He Is
popular young man and is a favorite
among the farmers-in fact, is a farmer
himself, ana Is proud of being one of the
orny-handed. He made good record in
much more valuable to his district than
a new man could possibly be Mr.. Kulp
should be reelected. w. X. u.

Vermont has settled the question as to
whether this country is for honest money
or whether 1t IL for free silver and dol
lar worth 5S cents. The honest old farm
ers of the Green Mountain state could not
be misled by the oily-tongued Bryan and
his platform OF national discredit and re-
pudiation. by their votes on Tuesday
they told the balance of the country that
they were in favor of an honest dollar and
against a dishonest one as advocated by
Bryan and his Popocratlc followers. The
result In Vermont was Il great disappoint-
ment to the Democratic managers here.
While they never entertained the idea of
carrying that state they believed they
would at least be able to keep the ma jori-
ty down to its normal Republican size.
The effect will he felt in every aSricui-
tural state in the country, and the result
Will he that Mckinley will be elected by
an overwhelming majority. Verify, this
Is not a Popocratic year.
Clerk of the House Mcdowell, who has
just returned from his home in Pennsyl-
vsnia says that state is good for at least
3OO. 0O0 majority for Mckinley and sound
money. He says there IL little or no drfec-
tion among the Republicans, but that the
sound money Democrats are deserting
Bryan and his free silver fallacy as fast
as rats desert a sinking ship.
Congressman George ". Smith, of IL
linois, is in town. He has had his hair
cut and even his most intimate friends
had TO look twice TO recognize him. Mr..
Smith represents a district in that por-
tion of Illinois known as Egypt" and
says he has no fear of Bryan carrying that
state. On the contrary. says Mr.. Smith,
Mckinley will get the electoral vote of
Illinois by a big majority

is conceded to be dead letter why
pay Capt. Crane salary TO ride
around for his health2 Iu nearly all
cities where municipality furnishes
it's citizens water it is made n mis-
demeanor to irrigate during prohi-
bited hours, punishable by fine and
imprisonment.
Leaving out the contemplate sys-
tenn of petit larceny by which the
Government gains from fifteen to
thirty dollars annually from each
rate payer on the slopes to whom it
furnishes a barrel OF water about
once week at its own sweet will,
we have about the most inequitable
water tax in vogue anywhere. For
instance: A man may have family
OF dozen persons, excluding ser
wants, COWS and horses galore, and a
whole block set out in shrubbery or
lawns, yet his rate is practically the
same as if his family consisted OF
but two persons.
In most cities, where water metres
are not used, the following plan,
capable of being modified to suit
any community, has been found the
most just:
For each adult member of a
family, including servants, and chill
dren over Is years of age, rs cents
per month. For each child over
years, 10 cents. per month. For
each COW, so cents per month. For
each horse, so cents per month.
Laundries, hotels, lodging houses,
livery stables, etc, certain stipulated
rates according to size, together
with fixed sum for each square
foot of irrigated surface. This plan
would not only yield a larger revenue
to the Government than our present
system, but would be perfectly fair
and just to the consumer
There has been a good deal Of
variegated oratory wasted relative
to making the Islands attractive for
tourists. Here is true incident:
A tourist visited family on Punch
bowl slape-the view was grandly
picturesque-an enchanting pano-
rama of sea and hill and vale cano-
pied by sky as deeply blue as that
! which is mirrored in the Mediter-
anean, and an air as balmy as the
winds that wander over the south
of France. The tourist was delight
ed-concluded to stop globe-trot-
ting, buy a lot and settle down.
Next morning no water for bath
pater-familas toiling up the steep
slope with water to make coffee,
tourist disgusted. Tourist stayed
nearly three months and during
that time there was water only
twice in the daytime. Tourist con-
cluded to locate elsewhere where
people have chance to wash in
water that has not been used dozen
times over by member of the same
family.
In conclusion let me call the at
tention of the underwriters to the
fact that here on the slope, which
physicians recommend as the most
healthful portion Of our city for
residence, are dozens of costly homes
that turn in to the Government an.
nually large aggregate revenue in
the form of taxes and water rates
and yet, though the parsimony, neg
lect, or rank incompetency of the
Government officials are left with
out the slightest protection against
fire. Thanking you for the space,
