A letter received yesterday by a
prominent banker Of this city from a
well known Chicago banker says;
while in private conversation In a
train in Ohio yesterday with Mr.. Burke
Cochran, when | asked him what he
thought OF the outcome Of the present
campaign. he smiled and answered:
This is going to be the greatest land
slide in favor OF Mckinley which ever
occurred in the history of the country.
All figures and estimates are only guess
work. and will be a great surprise to
all when the correct figures are known.
Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and
Kentucky are positively sure for Nc
Kinley. Good work is being done
throughout the Middle Western states,
and they are going for Mckinley IN
great shape,'"

1t has long been matter Of contro-
versy how far the end justifies the means
in getting money for good purposes.
There are occasionally found people who
object to the extortion Of a church fair
where you get in for 90 cents and out
for $25, and who say that the rattle Of a
charity bazaar differs from no other
gambling except that nobody but the.
directors ever win the prize quilts. A
gambler from Ohio. who had made a
big fortune in a saloon and faro bank,
says that last winter he attended q col
ored church in Florida where the
preacher announced that special bless
ing would be asked for all contributors.
One brother put in dime. "De Lord
bless Brer Jones! |" exc laimed the preach
er. "Brer johnson, God bless you for

gambler, he fished out $50 bill

The Alaska Rnundarx.

Alaska was not much thought Of at
the time of its purchase, and there is a
tradition that the money we paid for it
really reimbursed Russia for other good
offices of hers in our behalf. But now it
is seen to have been worth far more
than it cost. 1t is likely that we do not
know as yet anything like the full meas
ure Of its possibilities. 1t is worth re-
tanning to the EXTREMIST boundary. Brit
ain knows something of its value, as
she knew that of the Columbia river
years ago. We should know enough
about boundary problems by this time
to defend our own without shrinking or
carelessness.
1t is not probable that the Alaska case
ever will come to arbitration. II will be
settled, like the Maine and Oregon
boundary disputes, by negotiation and q
treaty, and the United States will lose
no erritory.-Portland Oregonian, 81

The reason a bankers opinion
on a financial system cannot be ac-
cepted as safe, is that he always
starts with the proposition: What
will be most profitable to the banks?
The financial system most profitable
to the banks may not be-in fact
cannot be-most profitable to the
people. 1t is therefore idle to con-
suit bankers about a national
financial system.
The bankers study is to draw
interest from the industrial pur-
suits of the country, while those
engaged in productive enterprises
seek to avoid the necessity of pay
ing interest. The banker and
wealth producer have interests
diametrically opposite.

where the pesants had gone up into

blocks lay thick, and only a thin
layer of sandy turf covered the

the boulders, they dug soil in the
valleys, and carried it up the sleeps

There used to be a political saying

itself with a change of geographical

A trick of republican leaders and
newspapers is to say when the re-
publican party have the next Pres
ident and..both houses of Congress,
they will fix times up and fill the
country with a brand new edition
of prosperity. This is known
among sporting gentlemen as
" bluff" They are not going to
have the next President and two
houses. Mark that. They have
had the President and both Houses,
but instead of prosperity they gave
the people less money and more
misery, and would do the same
thing again if the people were soft
enough to trust them.

FLORIDA.
Personally Conducted Tours via
Pennsylvania Railroad.

1t would be hard to find any
condition of human ailment that a
Winter visit to Florida would fail
to improve, while those who enjoy
good health cannot realize, without
experience, what true enjoyment
there is in life passed under the
golden skies of the Gland of
Flowers"
In order to give the public an
opportunity to visit Florida at a
very reasonable cost, the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company has ar
ranged for series of tours to Jack
sonville. Since the system of per-
sonally conducted tours inaugurated
by that company has been in effect,
none but words of commendation
have been received. Its uneXcelled
train service, experienced Tourist
Agents and Chaperons, and above
all, its moderate charges, leave
nothing to be desired.
The tours to Jacksonville, allow
ing two weeks stay in Florida, will
leave New York and Philadelphia
on January 2S, February 4, IL, Is,
and 25, and March 3, 1896. The
rate, including transportation,
meals en- route, and Pullman berth
on special train, is $4,000 from
New York, and $4S.00 from Phila-
delphia; proportionate rates from
other points.
For further information apply to
Ticket Agents, or address Tourist
Agent, 1196 Broadway, New York,
or Room All, Broad Street Station,
Philadelphia, to whom application
for space should also be made.

A conundrum and its Answer.

An exchange says that the editor
has been asked by young lady
how to make ''not enough" out of
the word "enough." AS the editor
was unable to answer the lady and
she did not tell him how it was
done, he called on his brother
editors to help him. We do not
know what the young lady's answer
would have been, but we would
have answered her as follows: 1t
is done by transposing the letters.
Take the third, second and first
letters of the word ''enough" for
one word, and the sixth, fourth and
fifth for the second word, and you
will have two words that signify
something that is "nOt enough"
