This drifting from pleasant
to warm weather rather trou-
bleS the merchants who sell
dry goods, because they are
at a loss to know just what
to put forward. 1t makes it
a sort of second between
seasons when cloth is too
heavy and not enough con-
fldence can be put in the
weather. Lawns and India
linen are shelved for the
same reason, to be taken out
when called for.
The best articles, then, to
advertise are those which
are Servicable during all the
year. We have them as well
as the others.
Pillow linen, 4ox5o is a
good thing, servicable always
and something which no
family can afford to be with
out. The same with linen
sheeting, 80, 90 and 100
inches wide. Not much
more expensive than cotton
and double the life.
Colored Madrass curtains
are always pretty, and like
white goods, they won't
fade. We've a hundred
varieties to select from. All
qualities, none of them high
priced. Then there's ice
wool in all shades; ladies

GENERAL CONCLUSIONS.

Thus it is apparent that in Indiana
only of all these doubtful states where
the battle is to rage the fiercest have
the populists eyer held the balance of
power, and then only by narrow
margin. In Kentucky, West Virginia,
and Maryland they are weak or
dwindling force, while in Michigan
and Iowa they can not accomplish re-
suits on the basis of past experiences.
In Illinois they have a fair strength,
but not a controlling power. The
value of their Endorsement of Bryan,
therefore. seems questionable, espec-
tally as it is conceded that they will
ALLEVIATE many votes from the regular
democratic party, and that at best they
can only throw a part of their entire
strength to the Chicago nominee.
