Sir Edmund Monsoon, the English am
bassador to Paris, appointed on the re-
tirement of the marquis of Dufferin and
Ava, is one of the ablest diplomats in
the service of Great Britain. He began
his career in that branch of the govern
ment in the capacity of attache to the
embassy of Paris. He later served at
Florence, Washington, Hanover and
Brussels He was secretary to Lord
Lyons for time and ran for parlia-
merit, but was beaten. After his de-
feat he returned to the diplomatic serv-
ice, and was consul and consul-general
in the Azores, in Buda-Pesth and in
Pest. He was sent on special missions
to Dalmatia and to Montenegro, and
after that he filled posts in the Argen-
tipe Republic, in Denmark and in

PROTECTION ASSURED.
A Decision of the United States Circuit
Court of Vital Interest to


House-keepers.
The action of the United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals in reversing the
decision of the Circuit court of the
northern district of New York in the
case OF The N. K. Fairbank Company
VS.. The r. w. Bell Mfg. Company, for
infringing by imitation on their Gold
Dust" Washing Powder package, not
only assures The n. X. Fairbank Com
pany of protection, but also the house
keepers of the land. Hereafter they
will not be annoyed with the spurious
article sailing under the colors of
Gold Dust" Washing Powder.
Judge Lacombe in handing down his
decision sounded a warning to imitat-
ors in tersely stated facts which have
manufacturers and business men gen.
orally. He said:
The judge who heard the case in
the Circuit court was strong in the
conviction that there was not SINH
larity calculated to deceive any buyer
of ordinary prudence; that there was
no danger of imposition by any SINH
larity between the packages. We are
unable to reach the same conclusion.
when it was borne in mind that
articles of this kind, when once they
are generally known, become associat-
ed in the public mind in the general
appearance of the package which con-
tains them,it is quite conceivable that
a dishonest dealer who kept complain
ants and defendants packages mingl-
ed together on the same shelves, might
easily palm off the one for the other
upon an unsuspecting purchaser.
Business men of ordinary acuteness
who wish to establish a distinctive
reputation for their goods with the
public, certainly do not begin by as
similating the elements of their design
to those of some competing manu-
facturer. When they are found doing
this it must be assumed that for some
reason or other they prefer to have
their goods arrayed not in the distinc-
i've dress but in one resembling their
competitors. And when it appears
that such competitors have expended
upwards of 100000 in advertising his
packages. that reason is not hard to
find.
We have then the case of a manu-
facturer who is careful always to sell
its goods as it's own, but who puts
them up in a style of package so SINH
lar to that used by one of its COmpeti-
tors, earlier in the market, that I'M
Scrupulous dealers who purchase from
the manufacturer in order to sell at
"etail to consumers are enabled TO de-
Jude a large number of such retail pur-
Ghasers by palming off upon them the
FOODS of the manufacturers as those Of
It's competitor. That this is unfair
competition seems apparent, both on
~eason and authority"
Since Gold Dust Washing Powder
has held it's own in every market as
the best cleansing compound made for
Ill purposes, there has been the neces-
Sity for the N. K. Fairbank Company
to protect themselves and their pa
irons from the numerous fraudulent
limitations, and though imitation is the
tribute paid to success, in this case
the housekeepers would be the suffer
ers if the tribute were not disdained.
The Fairbank "Darky Twins" and the
Gold Dust packages are as familiar
to the average hOusekeeper as the face
of the family clock.

mer, the buyer or the salespeople them
selves. Nearly all of the craft are wo-
men. The custom in the ordinary popu-
lar stores is to employ the most tactful,
able woman in each of the various depart
ments to visit rival houses in behalf of her
own particular line of goods These women
are paid extra for such services. Nobody
would dream of sending a saleswoman
from the suit department, no matter how
capable she might be, to look into silver
ware, or of sending out ribbon seller to
see how carpets and furs are going. Elk
cept in rare instances, it is found best to
employ people already identified with the
house, those who could have no incentive
for representing things as other than they
are. Occasionally a firm gets hold of a
treasure in the guise of a woman who pos
sesses what they call nose for seeming
the movements of rival houses and who
thoroughly enjoys the work. Tact is not
the only attribute required. Self-assur-
ance and the knack that is described as
carrying high hand together with good
judgment, make the successful professional

issippi congress met this morning

zltion reported, recommending Hugh

dent of the congress, to be effective
at 2 O'Clock this afternoon. This hour
was fixed in order to allow Mr.. Bryan
to preside during the debate this fore
noon on the silver question.
The question of selecting the place
of holding the next congress was
postponed until tomorrow afternoon.
The congress took up the silver reso-
luton and up to noon only two
speeches had been made on the sub
iect. G. S. Thomas of Colorado spoke
for the majority, and E. '. Smalley
Of Minnesota spoke for the minority
report.
Others who spoke in favor Of the

W. J. Bryan closed the debate with

SATURDAY
WHICH Is THE LIE. MARK?

Mark Hanna says OF the coal
miners strike: "The men are fool
ish to strike now, when business con-
ditions are not such that wages can
be raised"
Let us see. Isn't this the same
Mark Hanna who was assuring these
coal miner last summer that if
William Mckinley was elected and
confidence restored good times wonld
set in and everybody have work and
living wages? Isn't this the same
Mark Hanna who asserted two
months ago that prosperity was
already here? Isn't this the Mark
Hanna whom the league OF Republi-
can clubs cheered this very week as
the author of "the new era of pros
perity that has come in the glow Of
promises fulflled?" We guess he is
the same fellow.
Now, then, Mark Hanna, leader OF
the Republican party, senator from
Ohio, you lied when you said that
good times were already here as the
result Of your party's victory, or you
lie when you say that business con-
ditions are SO bad that coal mine
owners cannot afford to raise wages
which now average the pitiful sun of
four dollars a week. All the news
papers that sing cuckoo to you cannot
lift you from the horns of that
dilemma.
You know, Mark Hanna, that you
lied when you told these men that 10y
voting for the gold standard and
confidence and protection they would
raise their wages and make work
plenty. You knew that the assassi-
nation of silver meant the worse
slavery OF these ignorant thousands.
These thousands know it now. They
know you, too, Mark Hanna. You
are coming to Philippi this fall Mark,
and these hungry and desperate
thousands will meet you there and
bury you so deep that the trumpet of
the Judgment angel could not resur-
rect ou.-Stocktop Mail.

The Tape and the Ticker

Yesterday was the most cheering day the
market has seen in two weeks. There was
q general advance in prices, and the market
was active, and the tone of speculation
strong The bulls are jubilant, promising
that we have seen the end of declines
for several days, and that now again
the market is on an upward turn. The
advance was from one-half to a point
and a quarter The causes of the good
showing are probably almost entirely local,
and there seems no reason to believe that
a general and continued bull movement
may be expected.
A report OF close alliance with either
the Northwest or the Great Northern and
the Northern Pacific had strengthening
influence London bought NorthernP acifics,
both the common and the preferred. The
advance in prices was also aScribed to the
buying by shorts who desiredto cover Also
a recovery of q cent in Wheat had a senti
mental effect. The talk of the alliance
with the Great Northern by Northern
Pacific was probably based on the buying
by Weilbrokers Although Northern Pacific
preferred lost most of it's gain in the clos
ing hours of the day, dropping down from
it's highest point, 3S IA, TO 81 1-8, only
three -eighths higher than the opening, the
gain was still sufficiently marked

How Corporations Put Up and Get
Protection in a Legislature.
The editor Of the Review OF Reviews says
that the system of lobbying so prevalent
in 1.-The good times after the war" is being
abandoned Corporations he says,
'have found a much better way. 1t was
always offensive to the moral sensbilities
of the good deacons and elders and YES
trymen who make up corporation boards,
to hire vulgar lobbyists and set them at
the direct task of paying bribes to mem
bers of the legislature. 1t was not only
an unpleasant thing to do, but it was
somewhat unsafe because it was a peni-
tentiary crime.
Under the newer system, Il certain sum,
we are assured, is set aside by certain cor
poratiOns to be contributed to the campaign
funds OF tn" leading parties. This is to in

foolish laws adverse to those great bust
ness interests which the silly public ought
to recognize as its truest benefactors.
Such funds, it is declared have, in the State
