THE FAKIRs AND PEDDLERs.
Mckinley Advertisements Galore-How the
Ohio Candidate Hopes to Make Votes.


St. Louis, Mo-, June 16.-Fakirs and
peddlers. of course, made hay on the
outskirts of the gathering. Canes Of
American tin and canes with McKin-
ley's head in tin found fast sale among
the colored delegates, and badges, flags
and fans we're going fast. Mckinley
emblems were more numerous than all
the others, and there we're some unique
Mckinley advertisements on sale. One
was a tan, gaunt man, unshaven, dress
ed in rags like a tramp. and carrying a
tattered umbrella, and wearing a ban
ner with this motto: Look for hard
times and cold days if Mckinley gets
left"
Another object lesson was two sand
witch men who tramped a beat around
the square. one attired in the elegance
of a Berry Wall, bearing placard:
THE workman under the Mckinley
bill" the other in disreputable rags,
gaunt and starved looking, and repre-
senting The workman under the Will
son bill"

The Populis, claim Of 100000 votes
is not eN,ravagant Il has a very diff

less than 100000 voters are enrolled
ia It's secret lodges. 10 ,hese estimates
De- correc, the Pcpulists and the a. p. 4.
would have a united vote OF 100000
which is nearly 100000 more than a
majority Of the whole vote Of the coun-
try.
Bur while the A. p. A.. with an the
bo1slne OF It's members. has never
gvca any sign OF strength except in the
municipal elections Of a few Western
towns. the Popuusts in 1892 cast for
General Weaver, their candidate for
The Presidency. upward of 100000
votes. In the Congressional elections
o. 1894 the Populist candidate received
100000 votes; and in those elections
t1e collective vote Of the Republican
candidates was 5.4Sl.0oj and that Of
the Democratic candidates 1900 coo.

1891, they were actually in very con-
siderable minority Of the votes of the
country.
The vote OF 1894 however. affords no
indication Of the relative strength Of
the parties in 1856. In the South and

The report for 1895 Of the operations
OF the Suez Canal shows that S,4S4
ships. with an average Of S.44S,SS5 tons
burden. passed through it. carrying
1888 passengers. The revenue for.
the year was $15,6S5. oOO-exceeding
that Of any previous year except 1891.
Out OF the 1884 ships passing through
the canal in 1898 only five were Amer
lean. The policy Of repression which
has been maintained for the past thirty
years against the expansion Of the for
eign trade Of the United States has
nearly banished our flag from all the
great highways Of the sea. Even the
Spaniards and Turks send six times as
many vessels through the Suez Canal as
do the shippers Of the United States.

An Honest Dollar.

We can't get along with one kind
of a dollar worth 100 cents and an
other kind worth only 50 cents. The
unit of value must be equal, just as
it is in weights and measures, or else
the people will be cheated. When
you buy n bushel of wheat or pota-
toes the persons buying aud selling
know that it means four pecks; no
more, no less. Not three pecks or
two pecks, but four pecks. and that
same certainty must apply to our
money-everv dollar must he worth
exactly 100 cents, without the shad.
ow of variance. 1--WE waut no 80
cent dollars in this town is good
motto everywhere. A 53-cent dollar
cheats everybody. Vote against It,.
Vote for sound currency and an hon
est dollar by voting for Mckinley IL
Hobart and the whole Republican

The Los Angeles "Times" is respon- sible for the following: "A new and startling attraction is proposed by some summer campers for another year at Flagstaff. The idea is the out growth of their experlence with daily rains there. Ark parties-or may be arking is tie proper word--are pro- jected. The outfit would include an ark with six thickncsses of roof; plenty of pitch and Oakum for leaks; rubber coats, life preservers, and provisions for forty days. In lieu of Mount Ara rat they will anchor on the San Fran. cisco peaks. This they believe will prove novel and interesting rxp',i- ence, from which they will come forth none the worse except for webs be tween their fingers aud toes."

Dudely Canesucker is not very bright, but still he has memory for all the slang expressions. The other day at a little social party he mentioned the fact that the chief clerk in the office in which he is employed had resigned.
 And you have got the vacancy, l suppose" jokingly inquired one of the boys.
 "Oh, yes," sarcastically assented Gus, I've got the vacancy, in my mind."
 "Yes, that's so," giggled the prettiest girl in the room, and then everybody laughed, and Gus says he can't see what it was that aroused their merriment.- Texas Siftings.
