The advance agent Of the great Re.
publican circus is loudly proelaiming
that his three.tent show will be filed
with various kinds of prosperity, espe-
cinlly for the farmer. With his dis
tinguished predecessor, the late p. I.
Barnum, Mckinley evidently thinks
that "the people like to be hum
plugged" and is doing his best to fool
them into voting for his high tariff
mono.hippic aggregation.
Unfortunately for the Ohio show
man his circus was on view for q good
many years, and the people found out
that it is a monumental fraud. The
stale Jokes of the "tarif-is-not -a.tax"
clowns no longer amuse their hearers,
and the somersaults turned by the
MN, who claim that protection puts
prices up and also makes them fall,
are 80 clumsy as to be painful.
The alleged savage animals labeled
British Free Trade" and "Foreign
Pauper Labor" are known to be
stuffed with sawdust, and the sacred
"home market" COW is a clumsy con-
tinuance OF pasteboard and straw.
The pink lemonade, which Mckinley
calls "high wages for labor" is made
of one lemon rind TO one hogshead of
water, sweetened with invisible sugar.
The ring performance is very bad, the
only diversion being the attempt of
Major Mum to straddle two financial
horses going in opposite directions.
In spite of the cries, "Walk up, walk
up, and see the great magician extract
good times from high tariff pump
kins," the crowd Is not running to the
Mckinley tent. Everybody who saw
the show in the years from 1890 to
1894 says that it is not worth the price
of Omission.

POSSIBILITY OF RESCUE.
Men in the Pittston Mine May be
Taken Out Alive.

Men in the Pittston Mine May be
Taken Out Alive.
A special of Sunday from Wilkes
barre, Pa, says: There is just a posi-
bility that some of the men entombed
in the Twin shaft at Pittston may be
taken out alive. The rescuing party
has reported to the mine foreman,
O'Brien, that they heard rappings on
the rails of the gangway road, which
may have been caused by some of the
entombed men. The rappings were
clear and distinct, as if some one had
struck the rail with hard substance.
The supposed signal was answered
by the rescuers in tine same manner,
After short silence the answer came
clear and distinct. The sound seemed
to come a distance of 800 feet from
where the rescuers we're at work
AT 7 o'clock Sunday night the res
cuers reported that in their opinion
they are within 400 feet of the en-
tombed men. The shifts have been
increased from twenty men to thirty
FIVE, who are relieved every half hour
They are still emitting through the
rock and progressing more rapidly
than at any time since the work las
commenced.

HOBART NOTIFIED
OF HIS NOMINATION As THERE
PUBLICAN viCE-PREsIDENr.
A Great Day az Patterson, N. j., the
Nominees Homo.

Tbs committee appointed 10 for
mally notify Hon. Carrot A. Hobart
OF his nomination BY the republican
national convention for the vice pres
idency Of The United States, met at
Patterson, n. j., Tuesday, and assem-
bled at his residence ct the corner of
Carroll aud Ellison streets, where the
ceremonies were carried ont according
to the letter Of the program.
Mr.. Charles w. Fairbanks was the
spokesman for the committee, and in
the beautiful parlors Of tho nominee,
ia the presence Of the committeeman
and the immediate family of the dis
dnguished candidate, he spoke % Mr..
Hobart briefly, but pointodly, in noti-
flying him Of the action OF the oonven-
ton.
Mr.. Hobart, strong-willed business
man as he is, was deeply touched by
the words of confidence and seemed
10 realize as perhaps he has not before,
the trust that was imposed in him by
party assooiatesin national convention.
At the conc usion of Mr.. Fairbanks
speech, Mr.. Hobart arose slowly and
spoke softly and firmly, but with no
effort at oratory. He said, among
other things:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen Of the
Committee: beg to extend to you
my grateful acknowledgements for the
very kind and fattering terms in which
you convey the formal announcement
Of my nomination for vice president
of the United States by the republican
national convention at st. Louis. I
am profoundly sensible Of the honor
which has been done me and through
me to the state in which all Of my life
has been spent in my selection as q
candidate for this high Office
"Let me soy, that it will be my
earnest effort in the coming campaign
to contribute in every way possible to
the success of the party which we rep
resent and which, as to the important
issue Of the time, stands for the best
interest of the people"
BE spoke Of the issue of the repub-
lican platform, and concluded as fol-
lows:
"With this brief expression of my
appreciation of the distinguished hon
or that has been bestowed upon me,
and this Specification of my acceptance
of the trust to which have been sum-
moned, place myself at the service
of the republican party and of the
country"
The meeting concluded with a re-
ception and loud demonstrations in
all parts of the city. The day was a
red letter one for Patterson; many of
the business houses were decorated
and everything was arranged to con-
form to the honors of the occasion.
Few men are more popular at their
homes than Garret Hobart. There he
is affectionately called Gus by all per-
sons who may enjoy his acquaintance,
rich or poor.

day. All communication by telegraph
and telephone was cut off with the out
side world.
Houses, trees, fences, roofs, chin
neys are strewn in every direction all
over the city, and everything is desc.
late and awry. The Louisville and
Nashville railroad track on East Bay
shore and the Pensacola Terminal Com
pany's track and West Bay shore are
ell washed away.
Several vessels in the bay have been
sunk or turned over, and buildings
and wharves all along the water front
have either been swept away or very
nearly so, and thousands Of dollars will
have to be spent to repair and replace
them.
It is estimated that the loss in the
city will amount to over 500, 900, and
in the bay to over half q million,
Up to the present time there is nc
report of loss of life, but it is impos'
sible now to tell what the true state Of
affairs on the bay is, and later dis
patches may divulge the fact that con.
siderable loss of life has been sustained
on the bay and gulf shores.

Hanna and the Iron Ore Trust.

Mark Hanna, the man who bought
McKinley's nomination, is largely in
terested in the iron ore industry of
the Lake Superior region. The iron ore
trust, formed last spring, put mp the
price of ore $i.25 per ton above the
price at which it sold last year. The
total production of ore for 1895 was
over 100000 tons. If the same
amounts mined this year the difference
in price caused by the trust increase of
81. % per ton will be over So, 900, 900.
Who will pay this enormous sum
which Will so to enrich the million
aire trust members? In the first place
the iron and steel manufacturers, who
will have to pay higher prices for their
raw material. But these manufacture
ers of hardware, agricultural imple-
nents, machinery, fence wire, cotton
ties, nails, tin plates, etc., etc, will
all have to pay more for the iron and
steel which is their raw material, This
will make all those kinds Of goods far
dearer and thus in the end the $l2,-
100000 will be paid by the seventy
million American consumers.
If you happen to be member oil

thing for you. Ii you are one of the
common people whose interests are
